Ep 40: God Bless This Stress (feat. John Early)

Season 2, Ep. 10

This week the gals are joined by none other than hilarious comedian, perfume insider, and star of the upcoming film, Stress Positions, John Early!

Searching for a Pina Bausch frag, a Pussy Posse scent, or Pat the Bunny dupe? I cannot stress this enough: go listen to the ep!
