Today I find out that my grandad had a fake marriage...

This episode we unpack the 7th of January, 1981, and we start off with some light bickering as it becomes clear I completely misunderstood the differences of the Pill and mini pill. Mum is exasperated to say the least. I'm the daughter of a sex ed teacher for god sakes?!

We read about mum going to see You Can't Stop the Music starring the Village People and how people seriously, truly, naively had no inkling they were gay. Or Elton John for that matter.

We chat about the different beauty/skincare products of the 1980s (people were literally washing their faces with soap) and the rise of the beauty/skincare industry. We ponder the currency beauty can give you and the real world benefits of being attractive in a society that often seems to value attractiveness more than anything else.

Oh and we really put the too much in TMI as I share the gory details of my current thrush situation, give you a run down on my history with UTIs and talk about how my boyfriend wants to get a vasectomy!

As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.
