Raise your hand if you were personally victimized by Bridget Jones diary! (This is kinda history, right?)
Happy birthday, Lucrezi Borgia. Queens podcast alum from our very early days! She would be 544 years young today!
🍷 Lu-Lu was born into scandal. Her dad would go on to be Pope ( #popedaddy ) and yeah... popes aren`t supposed to father children, so due to nothing she did herself... already a scandal.
🍷She carried that reputation for the rest of her life. There was also the rumor her entire life that she had an affair... with her BROTHER, Cesare Borgia.
🍷 Also, was anyone really weirded out by how much you just really wanted Cesare and Lucrezia to just hook up already on the Showtime show? Anyone else???
🍷 Scandal came to a head when her second husband was (checks notes) was murdered almost certainly at her brother and dad`s orders
🍷 Also, she somehow got the reputation of poisoning people???
🍷 In the end, Lucrezia`s reputation died down as she settled into a happy marriage and motherhood and enjoyed popularity!
Don`t know her story? Check out our classic episode on her (link in bio)

New episode alert! Today we`re visiting medieval Wales for the first time ever to meet Princess Nest aka Nest ferch Rhys aka The Welsh Helen of Troy
🐉 There`s a lot we DON`T know about her life, but what we do know is not boring. Born into a war-torn country, girl ended up becoming a royal hostage at a young age.
🐉 But that`s okay! She meets a little known guy Henry I of England and becomes his mistress (as one does)
🐉 To reward her, she`s sent back to Wales to live as the wife of a wealthy and powerful dude. And everything is great... until it isn`t
🐉 There are no pictures of Owain, Nest`s second cousin. But he causes a world of trouble for everyone so I just googled "stereotypical villain picture" and here we are
🐉 Fun fact: Princess Nest is the ancestor or US President JFK #themoreyouknow

In honor of what should have been Selena Quintanilla`s 53rd birthday, we are taking a look back at some of her most iconic outfits. Because our girl LOVED fashion and we loved her in everything she wore.
🌹 Houston rodeo jumpsuit is obviously where we start. Uuuuugh so iconic.
🌹 In the early days, Selena was rocking her coca-cola sponsorship in a toned-down, family-friendly look here in 1991. Get that money honey.
🌹 Is it even the Tejano music awards in the 90`s if Selena isn`t there in a boustier? Here we`ve got pictures from 1993 & 1994
🌹 The grammys look. OF COURSE. She looked amazing winning her first (and only 😭) in 1993
🌹I love this more innocent look from the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom video. And now that song will be stuck in my head all day.
🌹 And lastly, her iconic black leather jacket + puffy shirt look from her 4th studio album. No notes.
We love you Selena! From one Texas girl to another. Happy birthday.

The cocktail for today`s recording looks like a piece of art so I had to share.
Yes, we know y`all want a cocktail recipe book and we want to make it. We are hoping this summer to tackle an audit of the episodes cocktails and figure out which ones to start with. Let us know in the comments if you have a favorite!
