Just As You Are – Bridget Jones's Diary

Hello!

Coming up on today’s show: it’s the new year so we just had to do an episode on Bridget Jone’s Diary!! We talk about weight as a metric for tracking happiness, what it meant to be thin in the noughties, the role that shapewear plays in our lives, and of course being liked ‘just as you are’.

Gel recommended the Mermade hair waver

Taylor recommended ‘All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot: Self Image, Beauty Ideals and Desirability’ by Lucinda "Froomes" Price
