The semi-summer hiatus continues, but SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE, so in the interest of not taking our foot off the gas, Caissie called in a very special guest co-host to fill in for Busy & record a new episode of the pod this week. Please check out her conversation with novelist and memoirist-turned popular political commentator, Molly Jong-Fast! HERE! Spoiler alert, they analyze the state of the election with 80-something days to go, talk about what we can all do to stay sane & motivated, PLUS Caissie reveals what she remembers reading in Molly’s wedding guest book & who wrote it 20 years ago. (Also, Caissie was clearly envious of Molly’s VF byline photo and tried to match her freak. Using her limited Canva skills. Eh…)
If you’re a fan of Molly’s, as we believe most of you probably are, you can also subscribe to her podcast, Fast Politics, and see her speak LIVE on stage with Rick Wilson in SF, LA, Milwaukee, Chicago, Boston, Philly, Washington DC & NYC!
As for Busy, this week she celebrated her oldest, Birdie, on her 16th birthday AND about this time next week, she’ll be in Chicago during the DNC, with Emerge x Meteor at The Power Lounge. If you’re in Chi-town, you should drop by & say hi! Click here for more info.

Speaking of our sponsors, you know how much we legitimately adore the makeup from Thrive Causemetics. We both use it every day & love it so much that we probably wouldn’t blame ourselves for hoarding it a little bit, to last us forever, but we also love you just as much as we love that makeup. Which is a whole lot! So, we’ve got a Thrive makeup bag absolutely stuffed with our faves, the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara in Brynn (black), two Brilliant Eye Brighteners with Ring Light Technology in Stella (champagne shimmer) & Pili (coral gold shimmer), three of their new long wearing EmpowerMatte Precision Lipstick Crayons in Ruth (peach taupe), Patty (cool pink) & Evelyn (coral pink), plus one Bigger Than Beauty Pout Hero Liquid Balm Lip Treatment with Lip Filler Technology in the scent Birthday Cake. That’s a $194 value. If you’re interested in being entered to receive the bag, all you’ve got to do is comment below telling us what you’re doing your best at this week to be entered into a random drawing that we’ll hold on Friday evening after 7PM PT! Good luck & let’s go!!!
