Happy New Year!! And we start off the year with kind of a celebration episode? There is a wedding, just not necessarily one we want to watch. It's Dean and Lindsey's wedding this week! But of course, the biggest event of this episode, is that Rory CUT HER HAIR!!! How could she?!?!?! We do have some very valuable life lessons in this episode. Opening a business is expensive, and dying your hair damages it. You are welcome. We do have a lovely matchy matchy outfit, some Luke retcon discussion, we recap our own bachelor/bachelorette party experiences, and of course, the age old question of chicken or beef? Join us this week for the episode discussion!

"Grandma broke into my dorm and redid the entire common room in $25,000 worth of furniture..."

Rory and Lorelai are officially trying life on their own (sort of) and we're discussing how they handle stealth dorm redecoration, last minute party planning jobs and friends' unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately) timed meltdowns.

Oh, hello, again. Much like the ever back and forth mattress, so is this episode. Re-recordings and tech issues aside, we did like this episode, we swear! It's just haunting us in our dreams. Also in this episode: discussions about loneliness, freedom, and sometimes, just wanting your mommy.

So turns out this episode is called "Ballrooms and Biscotti," we apparently didn't feel like saying that in the episode discussion. I promise there was no editing that removed Emily humming "Que Sera" in the background of Sandra's reference.....we have a 2000's pop punk princess, and Lisa deep dives into the Europe trip. Join us this week for the bits! Thankfully, with no disclaimers.

We're Baaaackkkk!!!!! A fantastic dinosaur movie (though not at all mentioned in this episode), and we have a new co-host joining us! We hope you all will give a super warm welcome to Lisa, who is filling in now that Jess has moved on to some super amazing things in her life! For our first episode back, we somehow start off with a Mary Poppins episode? Emily also advertises how to start a fight with her (host, not Gilmore), we discuss the role models that are Rick and Dick, Jacksons artistic abilities, and Luke's unknown super power, at least when it comes to Lorelai.

Disclaimer because technology hates us: Unfortunately Lisa's audio stopped recording about 15 minutes from the end of the episode, so with some fancy editing it still has a good flow, but unfortunately we lost her talking points during that time. This mostly includes that last couple of minutes of episode discussion and then towns person of the week. We promise we did not just start ignoring her! We now have a back up going at all times so hopefully this will not happen again.

Hello, listeners! We are back! Er, sort of. Jess, our lovely co-host and friend, has decided to step down from the pod. We send her so much love and gratitude for all the wonderful podcasting she's done over the years, including hyping Jackson up, giving us intel on makeup and hats, and of course, calling us the b-word (we swear there's no drama!)

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.

Join us this week as we delve further into the Lord of the Rings/Naked Guy/Digger Stiles episode as we explore past Nickelodeon stars (was anyone else obsessed with Avan Jogia like Sandra was?), dramatic af novels (seriously... we have to attach a warning to the episode because of it!), and all things Chanel N°5 (aka how to smell *rich*).

Serious Content Warning: In Emily's section, the book Atonement by Ian McEwan is discussed. There is mention of sexual assault, both real and fictional within the context of the book, so take heed. If you need to skip the section, Fashion with Jess starts at 19:30.
