FLOTUS on the Road: Chiclet City

A bonus episode for you all as Elyse and Claire prepare for their LIVE SHOW: July 30, 7pm EZ Lover in Brooklyn! This episode takes us all the way back to April when Claire and Elyse couldn't find a map anywhere and ended up very far away in Ohio. We recount our adventures in Gettysburg, our trip to the Lucy Webb Hayes house and the charming city where she lived. We also recount the harrowing experience of eating Pizza Hut off of a towel and a hotel run by eleven-year-olds. We can't wait to see your summery tan faces THIS Saturday!! XOXO, Chiclet City. 

The First Lady Recap: Episode 8

Back with Episode 8 of The First Lady. A very Showtime version of the lives these women led (Also, Showtime, sponsor us) We talk about Eleanor ruining dinner and Elyse gets ideas for her families Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. We discuss Michelle's horrible guidance counselor, and we say goodbye to our darling Betty in the White House. Betty finally gets to California, but it's not the retirement dreams she was hoping for (although the decor is V good) Plus, the return of the giant Roosevelt cup! Live Show July 30, EZ Lover in Brooklyn. We love you. But seriously, STAY HYDRATED. 

The First Lady Recap: Episode Seven

Your girls are on Ep 7 of Showtime's The First Lady (yes, we know the series ended months ago). In this ep we discuss some darker issues that come up with our girls. Michelle is livid about gun violence, El is standing up to the DAR and Betty is finally going to hit the campaign trail, but not without a drink first. We can escape the fact that this is a heavier episode but we try to keep it light and mostly try to figure out where Gerald gets his sweaters and where FDR gets his teacups. Plus! Our Live show July 30!! In Brooklyn! 

The First Lady Recap: Episode Six

SO, the world is crumbling and six people have royally fucked it up, but that doesn't mean that your girls won't deliver a one of the kind sixth episode. In this episode we discuss the our girls and their wild ways of acting out. One having an affair, one throwing a prom at the White House and one going behind her prez husbands back to handle legislation. All three of our first daughters make a big show this episode, especially Malia Obama who saved Marriage Equality while studying at a pizza party. Claire and Elyse also discuss their seven favorite things and why Amelia Earhart was just trying to escape toxic work culture. This one is absolutely off the rails. Love you! 

The First Lady Recap: Episode Five

It's raspberry season and Claire is forcing Elyse to tell her that her raspberries taste good. Right off the bat Elyse's world is rocked by inflation and we loose our mind of breakfast tacos. But back to our girls. In this ep Michelle is gets an enormous amount of flack for wanting kids to have vegetables. The drama with El and Hick continues and they are being spied! And our girl Betty undergoes a massive surgery with grit and humor. We are completely falling apart but the pod is crushing. Stay hydrated! Go to the beach! love you!

The First Lady Recap: Episode Four

Back with Episode four! In this episode we discuss all of our girls on a breaking point, with healthcare, with substances and with Love. It's a jam packed episode with chaos and drama included. Also! We announce our live show, July 30!!! 

The First Lady Recap: Episode Three

Your girls are back! We needed a quick break to recoup from our Ohio trip and the world literally crumbling around us. But we are so happy to be back and talking about our girls starring in their very own Showtime TV series. This week we recap episode three where we find out all about how Betty, Michelle and El met their president-to-be husbands. We hope you enjoy!! 

FLOTUS on the Road: Interview with Dr. Katherine Jellison

Your girls are back!! And this week we're back with an incredibly esteemed and special guest. We sit down and talk with Dr. Katherine Jellison, a professor at Ohio University as well as researcher on Women's Studies, US History and Social History. Along with all that, Dr. Jellison has been credited as being a First Ladies expert! We discuss how Dr. Jellison found her way towards researching the First Ladies. We also discuss the categories of First Ladies that Dr. Jellison created to associate with each First Lady as she takes on the role and makes it her own. It was a honor to sit down and have this conversation! We hope you enjoy! 

The First Lady Episode Two Recap

We're back with our girls, El, Betty and Michelle. This week we recap episode two of our favorite Showtime series. And this week all of our girls have made it to the White House. We discuss the differences in their forced occupations and the reluctance that came with it. We also find out how many episodes there are in total and realize how long we'll be doing these recaps.

 

But in all seriousness, what's happening with the Roe V. Wade strike is impossibly horrible. Donate if you can: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/fundabortionnow
