Jayne Mansfield was one of the most iconic blonde bombshells of the 1950s and '60s, known for her curves, pink convertibles, and publicity stunts. But beneath the platinum hair and plunging necklines was a sharp mind, a savvy media manipulator, and a woman navigating the pressures of fame, motherhood, and misogyny in postwar America.

In this episode, we explore Jayne’s life not just as a Hollywood starlet, but as a feminist figure ahead of her time, a woman who used her sexuality as currency, challenged the limits of respectability, and refused to be boxed in. From her insanely genius music skills, to attending multiple colleges, to fighting for custody, from tabloid queens to tragic endings, we ask: what do we miss when we write women like Jayne off as just “dumb blondes”?

This week, we’re diving into the story of the ultimate history girly: Joan of Arc. Born to a peasant farmer, Joan started receiving visits from saints (yes, really) at just 13 years old. These visions that told her to lead France to victory in the Hundred Years’ War. By 17, she was doing exactly that. But things took a turn when she was captured, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake...basically for being a woman in charge and wearing pants. Classic. We honor Joan, her bravery, and the legacy that led to her sainthood.

In this week's episode we talk about the ridiculous 2019 College Admissions Scandal which consisted of wealthy parents trying to get their children into elite colleges illegally, two of those parents being famous actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin. Lori, famously being the mother of now influencer Olivia Jade had a very different process than Desperate Housewives' star, Felicity Huffman. We get into how it happened and what they paid to have done, how they plead, and the consequences of everyone after. The privilege is PRIVILEDING, honey.

This week, we’re diving into the world of the shoe mogul himself: Steve Madden. From hustling shoes out of the trunk of his car to building a billion-dollar brand, Steve’s journey is anything but ordinary. We unpack how his rapid rise got tangled in the chaos of The Wolf of Wall Street, landing him behind bars, and how he managed to bounce back stronger than ever. His story is a wild ride of risk, resilience, and really good shoes.

Who else grew up wearing Steve Madden? And we still love Steve Madden shoes—Claire’s iconic green heels from the White Party? Steve Madden, of course!

In this episode, we dive into one of pop culture’s most talked-about relationship timelines: Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez. But this isn’t your typical celebrity gossip breakdown. Through a feminist lens, we explore how media narratives have consistently framed women as rivals, even when the story is far more complex, and human, than that. We trace the key moments, challenge the headlines, and ask bigger questions about fame, fan culture, misogyny, and the personal cost of public scrutiny. This isn’t about taking sides, it’s about understanding the story without turning it into a competition.
