Show Notes
Lara and Carey dive headfirst into another chapter of the inaugural GENIUS ALERT series, this time enlisting the help of bonafide genius, friend of the pod, musician and Los Angeles pod maven herself, Chloe Coover. They discuss Chloe’s lit’ral birthday, the Los Angeles of yesteryear, and the fall of celebrity culture.
Then they go back in time to the halcyon days to discuss Chloe’s favorite reality TV episode of all time: episode six of the first and only season of the seminal Pretty Wild. Aka “Vanity Unfair.” The Neiers sisters Alexis and Gabby, their adopted sister Tess and their mom/manager/homeschool teacher Andrea, navigate the glitz and glamour of 2010 LA, all while Alexis awaits sentencing for her role in the infamous Bling Ring.
Alexis is thrilled to be the subject of an upcoming Vanity Fair profile about the high profile crime, written by the one and only Nancy Jo Sales. She picks out what she believes are modest outfits for the interview, much to the horror of Gabby and Andrea. Tess and her Monroe piercing then continue to foster a one-sided relationship with Max, lead singer of emo band "Wicker" as they interrupt band practice while donning Uggz at the Groundworks on Sunset at 8pm. Gabby also pounds the pavement of Hollywood in search of a job, landing herself a spot at a pet store where she learns the ways of dog grooming and anal gland expression. Alexis gives a heart wrenching account of the Bling Ring and her plans to change the world à la Angelina Jolie to Nancy Jo, but is soon disgusted to see the final article, where Nancy’s slanderous spin on the 19-year-old enfant terrible is made immortal in ink. Then Alexis confronts Nancy Jo’s voicemail in the phone call scene that changed reality television forever.
Alexis, you f*cking rock, girl!
