Put on some lipstick and pull yourselves together, Divas!

This week's episode really is incredibly grand, as we begin what will come to be something of a saga.

It is, of course, the legendary tale of the eternally fabulous ELIZABETH TAYLOR.

Like our episodes on Britney, the life and career of the original TayTay has such an exceptional wealth of anecdotes that we just had to give her to you over several courses. Thus, we serve up a feast in the form of Liz's story from her birth to the first of two marriages to one Richard Burton.

And your maître d, here to oversee such a delicious banquet, is none other than writer, singer and performer, Isobel Rogers (@Isobel_Roge). So join all three (recorded IRL no less!) as they talk lavender marriages, Liz's celebrity pet hamster, Nibbles, and her devoted relationship to the Fuck You Club.

Along the way, we somehow talk a lot about guitars, even more about swimming and Tom spends most of the back-end of the episode trying to remember the name of the film Swimfan.

Much of this episode's research comes from Elizabeth Taylor: The Lady, The Lover, The Legend 1932-2011 by David Bret
