The Bottom Bible

Have you ever felt personally offended by the person your friend, family, or coworker tried to set you up with? Say no more, mon amour, you've come to the right podcast. Once upon a time we've all been single and the target of a well-meaning, but maybe mostly clueless, romantic setup. And while they usually don't amount to more than an extremely awkward email exchange or painfully long coffee or dinner date, they do make for funny stories. Sit back and enjoy a lighthearted episode this week, and please enjoy Vanessa feeling personally attacked by a ghost hunting, arrogant run-around.

This week Katy shares a very personal story, that sadly, many others can relate to. Listeners may remember Katy talking about some irregular periods that, at first, were thought to be pandemic stress and hormone related issues. What she didn't share was that for over a year she's silently been dealing with more than just some inconveniently heavy periods. The real culprit was a fibroid, a large fibroid that wreaked havoc on her physically and mentally. A warning for those who are squeamish about hospital visits, surgery, and major blood loss - but we encourage you to listen and share your own stories! Please see the links below to the clinic mentioned in the podcast, as well as the organization Katy spoke about that is advocating to empower those dealing with fibroids.

Television and Movies can have such a strong impact on our fashion and style, it's a no-brainer to instantly go to the Rolodex in our minds of fashion moments we've stored away for future inspiration. This week we're looking at the bridal inspiration board we've stored away in the dusty corners of our minds and sharing our favorite bridal lewks. Vintage vibes, pouf petticoat perfection, classic lace and satin, we've even got a pantsuit! Listen in and see if any of your favorites overlap with ours, and let us know if your own wedding moments were inspired by the silver screen!

This week we're joined by friend of the pod, Bee! A talented medium with a saucy twist who recently started an OnlyFans page where she does topless tarot readings. Bee tells us about her experience starting her page, including some real life things like taxes and background checks, and the community of creators that support each other on the platform. A sex positive experience that is socially distant and builds confidence and community... yes, color us here for it!

 

A big thank you to Bee for her time, we cannot wait to have her back! If you're curious about her experience or would like to book her for a reading, please visit her Instagram and get info.

Here we are, screaming into 2021, staring down the shaft of Cupid's arrow, time flies when you're quarantined in the arms of looooove. We're keeping it simple this week, chatting about some of our Valentine's day plans and dreaming of hearing your most spectacular Valentine's day fails. Apparently neither of us ever puts in any romantic effort, because there is not a fail to be found in our pasts. Help us out, tell us about a surprise gone horribly awry!

We've all heard the news about the Sex and the City reboot, we ll know it's probably not going to be everything we need but that we'll watch it anyway. So let's dip into some episodes of yore, and share some of our favorite scenes from our Cosmo queens. Post-It Notes, frothy couture gowns, vibrators, and falling socialites - they're all here!

Hey, can we ask you a quick question? How about a quick 35? This week we're doing some speed-dating cocktail conversation with each other. Using the Proust Questionnaire, which Stephen Colbert has recently brought back into the mix. And the Pivot Questionnaire, or as you may be more familiar with it, the Inside the Actor's Studio questions asked by James Lipton. Sit back and listen, or play along and shout out your answers with us!

Pandemic fatigue is FOR REAL, we're all feeling it. This week real life experiences lead us to look up some coping skills from the experts. Join us for a casual talk about what we've been feeling and how our coping skills stack up against the advice we found. Spoiler: French tutors are saving our lives and we've been buying way too much stuff on ModCloth.

It's happening... we're going to spend the entire episode talking about vibrators! Do we even need to say anything else? Okay, fine. We're going to dispel some myths and explore the vibrator's journey from the 1800s to today. She's come a long way, baby. We've all come along way, am I right? We'll also get into some fun charts and graphs about the worldwide searches for sex toys. It's a great map, y'all, check it out. Please scroll down below for the sources used in this episode.
