Welcome to Week TWO of the RG Newsletter! Thanks to everyone who signed up, and reached out, it meant a lot xo. This week is all about being under the influence… of celebrity. Didn’t that sound so dramatic?!
This week I was lured in by a celebrity and they got me where it hurts the most, my wallet. It all started after last weeks Regular Girls w/ Natalie Metcalfe (check her out at Second City). We chatted all things pop culture, including “BravoCon” and of course our fav reality show “Vanderpump Rules”.
I joked about going to see Stassi Schroeder’s live Podcast tour and Natalie didn’t even bat an eye. She supported my sick delusions and also backed up the idea that maybe I should Vlog my experience for the newsletter. Now to preface, there is nothing more embarrassing than admitting to yourself that you are buying what a celebrity is selling. Especially when that “celebrity” is of the Reality TV genre. Because the odds of it being a cash grab are 90-1. I don’t know if that’s an actual odd but you get it…right? right?!
I wanted to go to this podcast because I genuinely thought it would be a good time, but I needed someone responsible and adult to support the decision. So thank you Natalie for enabling me. The second Natalie left my house I bought my $68 ticket to paradise and the next day I found myself drinking a Gin Smash wondering where it all went wrong. The show was OBVIOUSLY terrible but I made a promise to vlog and goddamnit I loved every minute of it. So please enjoy my night with Stassi:
So there you have it! I went to Stassi Schroeder Live and all I got was my period… Unrelated occurrence I’m sure, but I can’t deny they both happened at the same time. But yes my friends I was lured in by celebrity and this time it didn’t work out. But celebrity influence isn’t ALWAYS bad. This brings me to my next segment which is:
This week I got an incredible message from my pal Alessandra Vite. She is a comedian and writer and your new Internet Friend. You can find her performing all over Toronto, as well as contributing to The Beaverton, and most recently on CBC’s latest documentary series “Day Jobs” .
Alessandra reached out to me with one of the best messages I have received in a long time. She just bought a bra from Kim Kardashians new shape-wear line “SKIMS” and she wanted to give me the rundown. I have never felt more seen. She was very kind to write a review for the RG Newsletter and I am so happy she did. Enjoy.
Like most people, I don’t really like the Kardashians. They represent a lot of what I hate; the immense disparity between the wealthy and poor and ads for diarrhea lollipops.
However, it cannot be denied that GOD DAMN KIM K. CAN DESIGN A BRA.
Yes that’s right I purchased a bra by Kim Kardashian’s body wear line “Skims”, and it’s good... real good.
I bought it like I buy everything online- waking up at 5 in the morning for no reason, seeing something pretty, and then using PayPal so I don’t have to get out of bed to get my credit card. But tbh, this wasn’t that much of an impulse purchase since I had been tracking this lingerie/shape-wear line for months. Kim first peaked my interest when I saw the various colours and body types she was showcasing her wares on. For every bra, bodysuit and shape-wear item she had a model in every size wear it in pictures and videos. People with clothing lines, DO THIS. Also make your clothing line size inclusive for the love of god, you’ll make more money you fucks.
This particular morning she was showcasing this body tape that allows you to tape your boobs up so you can wear backless and low cut stuff. I’ve been using shitty boob tape for years and this is a real game changer. But nuts to that, I wanted something pretty so I decided to go for the Cotton Plunge Bralette in Kyanite (blue). I really hope Kyanite is a real colour and not a play on the name Kanye.
OMG, ALL THE KIMOJIS, IT’S SO GOOD. When I opened the package I was worried because it looked teeny but it fit perfectly. It also is super soft and it keeps your boobs so high up with no underwire. Plus the back doesn’t squish my back fat which a lot of bralettes with thinner straps do. I wish I could wear it as a bikini top because it’s so pretty on. It has this mesh on the inside that is so nice and feels really secure. Also the blue is like an elegant blue, which I’m aware makes me sound like a maniac but it’s just the truth.
So if this newsletter goes viral and Kim K sees this, please send me all the bras and thongs you can! No shape-wear tho, let my body be all round and free, thank you!

All in all I don’t regret going to Stassi’s Podcast Tour. In fact it pushed me out of my comfort zone. I took myself out on a real nice date and I had a fun time. Solo fun times?! Who knew?!! I am definitely going to do that more often. Usually I would see an event happening that I would die to go see and because I can’t find someone to go with I stay home. Not anymore. Be the good time you want to see in the world. Vite took a leap and got the bra of her dreams, and I enjoyed a Gin Smash while watching a glorious train wreck. Truly a win win.
I know I said I would chat Vanderpump Rules trailer but Natalie and I cover it on RG so have a listen and if you need follow up I can always attach it to next weeks. Also, what do you think of the video component? Do we like?! Let me know!
Have a great week and see you next Monday!
