Dorian Corey
Your favorite mouthy broads Kaytlin Bailey (@kaytlinbailey) and Wendi Starling (@wendibird82) are safe, alive and BACK with a fresh new episode and, once again, are joined by the incomparably fabulous Ceyenne Doroshow (@doroshow) to unwrap the tumultuously tantalizing life of Dorian Corey. As documented in the film "Paris Is Burning", Corey was one of the queens of the NYC Ball Culture that went to the grave keeping one of her darkest secrets in the closet. The ladies also discuss setting boundaries with partners, finding the strength to leave a bad situation AND the importance of having a surplus of baking soda (or any white white powder) within reach of your bedazzled ball gowns.

Maggie Meller
French courtesan Marguerite Marie Alibert, otherwise known as Maggie Meller, was the lover of Edward the VII. After her affair with the British prince, she married a rich, snotty and young Egyptian aristocrat, whom she killed in a fancy hotel room in London. The girls talk about homeopathic vadge stuff, how murder is not okay even if the victim is a man, and hipsters who snap instead of clapping.

Elizabeth Moryng
The ladies are once again joined by the fiercely funny Ceyenne Doroshow (@doroshow) and these 3 mouthy sound off about Stormy Daniels' latest bad bitch moves, the slippery subject of fondling foreskin AND discuss whether or not Bailey Davis (recently fired Saints cheerleader) was laboring under conditions eerily similar to trafficking. Then, Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) and Wendi (@wendibird82) dive into the story of Elizabeth Moryng, a 13th Century madame who serviced the religious clergy under the guise of operating an embroidery business and consider the pros and cons of fucking while wearing all of your clothes. Wet-wipe your crotches and hike up your granny panties because this episode is bound to get you hot and bothered… mostly bothered because of the harm FOSTA/SESTA is doing to SWs and the feminist movement in general but who knows, maybe this time around we'll pull together and change the course of history Support the show on Patreon *** Brought to you by Velvet Swing.

Timarchus
History almost always repeats itself, and we are currently witnessing and living through another major attack on the livelihood of sex workers by way of the FOSTA/SESTA bill. Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) and Wendi (@wendibird82) kick off the episode with updates on which companies have started cracking down in compliance with the impending law, then jump into the details of Timarchus, a male sex worker in his youth that was later shunned and outcast by his fellow politicians. PLUS, learn about all the fun, flirty ways the government and other giant corporations can infiltrate things like your Google Docs, email accounts and possibly more communication tools that we haven't even thought about yet!

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy
The whores are back with the fantastically feisty Ceyenne Doroshow (@doroshow) in Part II of their snow day extravaganza. Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) and Wendi (@wendibird82) respond to a listener email and remind us that racists can be sex workers too, then get down to business by singing the praises of trailblazing trans woman Miss Major. After being misgendered and housed with male inmates, she became one of the key negotiators in the Attica Prison Riots in 1971 and went on to work as an advocate for trans women's rights within the prison system. Miss Major also participated in the Stonewall Riots and eventually founded the Gigi House, an organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the stories of trans people throughout history. The ladies also have a very real discussion about the class divisions within the sex worker community, the perversion of historical narratives of trans people AND address the issue of cat murder parks in Peru. ALSO, how can notable trans people better support their community? Who in hell was the stylist for the Kaitlin Jenner shoot?? PLUS tips on which shades to avoid at the tanning salon. GLITS Inc.

Flawless Sabrina
This week, the ladies are trapped indoors due to a snowstorm with a fabulously special guest, fellow old pro and founder of GLITS (Gays and Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society), Ms. Ceyenne Doroshow! Ceyenne recounts her experiences with the legendary Flawless Sabrina. Born in 1939, Flawless (given name: Jack Doroshow) became the queen of drag and originator of the ultra glamorous Ballroom scene. In between mothering and mentoring countless young trans women, she also penned 2 beloved disco songs AND thrived as an inspirational beacon of light and love despite being arrested over 100 times for merely dressing outside of her gender. PLUS, Ceyenne (@doroshow) also shares her deeply emotional self-realization story, Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) gets of during her latest updates on the Stormy Daniels story and Wendi (@wendibird82) has turned to banging anyone that folds towels for a living in an effort to extended those sweet vacation vibes.

Georgina Beyer
Prepare to be inspired by the life and barrier shattering work of Georgina Beyer. This bad bitch went from survival sex worker to radio host and ultimately took her place as the first trans politician in New Zealand (Mayor of Carterton and Wairarapa MP). PLUS, the ladies break down the difference between legalization and decriminalization, read a listener email AND this episode just might make you consider giving massages to the neighborhood moms. With nonsense like the SESTA bill being lauded in the United States, Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) and Wendi (@wendibird82) do their best to rally the troops of whores to get their sweet asses in the race for political office and get our voices heard!

FOSTA/SESTA
This week, the ladies take a break from history lessons in an effort to highlight a present day movement to suppress and disable sex workers from willingly supporting themselves and their families by way of society's oldest profession. SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act) is a bill that will, most likely, be passed by the time you hear this episode. Kaytlin and Wendi break down exactly why and how this bill is harmful to sex workers and possibly even this podcast. THEN, Kaytlin passes on the mission statement and organization goals laid out at the SASS (Seattle Annual Sex Work Symposium) and lays out specific actions you can take to help unify the sex worker front on a large and small scale. PLUS. they get get into the pros and cons of high-value gifts versus the cash equivalent of said gifts. Can Wendi survive without unlimited Uber rides? Will Kaytlin be able to thrive within the cozy honey pot her man has prepared for her?? Stop SESTA/FOSTA Call congressional offices directly or through the switchboard. If you do not have the direct number, you can reach US representatives by calling 202-225-3121, and US senators by calling 202-224-3121.

Anais Nin
Erotic literature tantalizes the senses in a uniquely specific way, even more so when the salacious stories are derived from real life. This week, the ladies recount the steamy and sordid tale of author Anais Nin and her many lovers. It turns into an especially raw episode as Wendi (@wendibird82) spills the specifics of a very recent unpleasant encounter with a former SD and Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) dives into the details of emotional AND physical clean up after dealing with an aggressively assertive client.
