Valley Girl

Time to go back to school! But don’t worry, you don’t need to brush up on your world history or trig. Instead, we’re giving you an intro lesson on the legendary RuPaul’s Drag Race. Drag Race has not only been one of the best reality and competition shows for the past thirteen years, it has also been a platform for love, acceptance, and compassion.

During our lesson you’ll learn about some of the greatest contestants, seasons, and scandals of the series. But more importantly you’ll learn about the central thesis of the show: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” 

Are you a drag race fan?! What’s your favorite season?! Let us know on Instagram @ValleyGirlPodcast!

In this episode, we celebrate Claire's birthday by revisiting one of her favorite pre-teen classics, 2002's Blue Crush, starring Kate Bosworth, Matthew Davis and Michelle Rodriguez. Take a listen and think back to the days when surf and SoCal fashion ruled the red carpets, and influenced us all to wear puka shells, bucket hats and frosted tips.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Valley Girl in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a good movie, and girl, we got it! In this episode, we obsess over one of our favorite books and movies of all time- Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice! We break down our favorite scenes, quotes and characters from the 2005 film, starring Keira Knightley, and discuss the red flags we should have seen coming with Mr. Wickham and the green flags with Mr. Darcy.
