Ok – I listened to the 3 episodes over the weekend and overall I have to say I loved them. I’ve really missed listening to L.
Ep 1. I wasn’t overly familiar with who Clarabell was before the podcast (I had seen her on L’s story the odd time.) She spoke about make up, skincare and the death of her mother. Her and L had good rapport and it was just an easy listen.
Ep 2. I was pleasantly surprised by Laurens Bejaoui’s episode. I thought that it would just be a rehash of the previous episode L did with her. She spoke so well on what it’s like to be in an emotionally and psychologically abusive relationship. She didn’t shy away from giving all the details. It was interesting and probably something that a lot of women can relate to.
Ep3. This is where L falls down completely. It is clear that she needs a co-host or a guest every week. When she is recording on her own she is a bit all over the place and she rambles. The focus is not there and she tends to repeat her points. The episode is about the comments Kim K made about work ethic, Bella Hadids recent Vogue spread and Spring fashion trends.
I don’t want to nit pick because overall I am really enjoying the episodes, but did anyone else pick up on how she spoke about Bella Hadid’s depression -
‘for 3 years you woke up crying…wtf…why..thats a lot of crying?’
‘if you can stop crying at work, can you not stop crying at home?, you obviously have some kind of control over it if you’re able to keep on going to work surely’
I don’t know if she was trying to be funny or what her aim was with these comments but they are just insensitive. I thought it was odd considering how much L says she has suffered with her own mental health in the last few months.
Currently, she has 240 patrons which is not bad in the first 3 days really. She is aiming to have an episode out every Wednesday. I really hope she can follow through on this and keep on top of things.
