Not Without My Sister
REVISITED: Ghosted and Gaslit – It's the Online Dating Episode, Straight from the Archives
•
We're taking another short stroll down memory lane as we count down to our grand return on December 6th. This is the eighth ever episode of Not Without My Sister, in which we revisit some of our most heartbreaking and humiliating online dating moments (oh, there are many more than we can recount).

Beatrice and Rosemary sat down to chat through their experiences online dating: Beatrice was an early adopter, starting out when she lived in Paris, using an online dating site called Meetic, while Rosemary has more recent experience getting ghosted (and then gaslit) by a friend of a friend back home in Dublin.

This is NOT What I Ordered!
36:36We're talking about online shopping subterfuge, disappointments and mismeasurements, while Beatrice reveals the major criticism her child has about her and Rosemary goes down a long, meandering seed-related sidebar. FYI: This is the swimsuit Bea ordered for her family fun vaycay at a Nashville water park.Rosemary's main love-hate relationship is with Floret Farms……while her apple trees came from Star Brothers.

Who Would Sue Hermès for the Right to Buy a Birkin?!
26:33We're talking about the Hermès Birkin lawsuit, Kim K's $40k bag on the ground at a Lakers game, the Alexander Wang boots Beatrice just had to have (and then Rosemary had to copy and, er, also have), and H&M and the stranglehold its sequined goods seem to have on Beatrice every. Single. Season. Plus! Who, exactly, is allowed to buy a Rolex? Is taking Hermès to court the kind of classless action that shows you don't deserve a Birkin to begin with? And why don't Hermès employees earn commission on Birkins?????

What Are YOUR Makeup Staples?!
25:47In which we discuss our makeup staples, Bea clearly thinks of herself as the Kim of the family (entrepreneurial and stylish, with a rake of kids) and Rosemary refuses to accept "makles" as a portmanteau.
