Darlings… I’m back after a hiatus and I need to bitch about pop culture.

I start with a June 2026 life update: I’ve officially finished my hairstyling apprenticeship and am now a licensed hairstylist. The state board nightmare is over.

Then we dive into the Summer House reunion because Bravo remains my favorite sociological experiment. I unpack the Amanda, Kyle, Ciara, Lindsay, and West mess, discuss why West continues to be the human embodiment of an expired IPA, mourn the Carl we used to know, and proudly remain Team Lindsay.

From there, we enter the Pop Girl Industrial Complex. I go absolutely feral over Slayyyter’s Worst Girl in America, discuss why it’s one of the strongest pop albums in years, reflect on my long history as a Slayyyter fan, and get into Kylie Minogue, Ariana Grande, and the increasingly amazing era of pop music we’re living in.

Finally, we arrive at the gates of internet hell. After my TikTok rant about RuPaul’s appearance on The View unexpectedly went viral, I found myself trapped in one of the most unhinged comment sections imaginable. We break down the backlash, the bizarre reactions, and why people love arguing with things that were never actually said.

Grab a coffee.

Season 3 is almost here so stay tuned, Darlings!!!
