Not Without My Sister
60 – How Do YOU Handle YOUR Stress?
And how do we handle ours? Beatrice doesn't think she has particularly high stress levels, except, oh yes, for the fact that she hasn't slept the night through in almost a decade. So we talk about things like sleep hygiene, to-do lists, how Rosemary's therapist thinks she might have ADHD (but Rosemary thinks she's just got some bad habits a la Ed Sheeran) and whether or not Mammy Mac Cabe has ever experienced true stress in her life. (And if you are someone who masturbates to relieve stress, we want to know how, exactly, you get yourself in the mood. Let us know anonymously by emailing notwithoutmysis@gmail.com toot sweet!)

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.

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?????
