Ep16. Hollywood's Dahling & A Furious Lesbian

There were technical difficulties and scheduling issues. Nevertheless, the ladies persisted! This week, Kelley and Emily take a trip to old Hollywood to discuss two women who lived life out loud, even when the world didn't want them to. Gripping a repeat glass of Sangria, Emily talks about Hollywood legend, queen, and all around badass, Tallulah Bankhead! Though she had a rough beginning (and the most metal baptism ever,) dahling Tallulah managed to become a successful actress who was unashamed of her sexuality. Then, Kelley covers the amazing (if not a bit sad) story of Mercedes de Acosta who "had the most important women of the 20th century" and wrote the greatest lesbian kiss-and-tell book ever! Take your places and settle, because it's lights, camera, herstory!
