55. An Exquisite Daughter

Published: Aug. 11, 2018, 1:30 a.m.

b"Alison and Jody are back in the Cocoon to talk about Norma Klein\\u2019s \\u201cDomestic Arrangements\\u201d chapter 3! This one\\u2019s a shortie, but we\\u2019ll get back to our regular programming next week. Rusty has a horrifically forthright conversation with her \\u201ccool mom\\u201d and butters Daddy up after his chat with the Laskers. We learn that Joshua has some naked pics, and most importantly, that Rusty has starred in some kind of mysterious exploitation movie. WHAT?! Total cliffhanger. The gals talk about their first non-kisses, Jody discovers she\\u2019s a swinger, and Alison teaches us the correct pronunciation of \\u201cStuyvesant.\\u201d If that's not enough, tune in for the vintage commercials from 1981 and the melodramatic radio plays. Finally, congratulations to GemerGemer for being this week\\u2019s Blume Head of the Week! It\\u2019s a Judy Blume book club. Join us every week!"
