The Femme Files: A History of Iconic Women

This episode we’re delving into the worlds of the ill-fated french queen, Marie Antoinette, and the formerly crowned, youngest self-made billionaire, Kylie Jenner. We’re talking wigs, scandals, puppies and, of course, MOMAGERS. Join us as we lose our heads over this extravagant and contentious pair and make a palatial amount of references to the Sofia Coppola film. Mes amis, it’s going to be ‘lit’.
