Happy weekend, everyone! I hope it’s a great one for you and yours.
This week at Drinks With Broads: We had a new Bridgerton recap! We discussed random shit I bought on the internet, the new dudes of The Bachelorette, and Rupert Murdoch’s wedding! (Also I snuck in the news that I myself got married last Friday, yay! Thank you for all the kind words!) Yesterday’s edition covered the upheaval at Chanel, a major auction at Sotheby’s, Traitors casting, and Alec Baldwin’s return to MILF Island.
We had A VERY FUN and also useful chat here full of travel recs.
