Not-so-Mini(sode) 6: Wet Toilet Paper, Buttery Clothing, and So Many Credit Cards: Lularoe (part II)

We had originally planned for this to be part two of two (aka the second half) of the Lularoe story.  But after really digging into it, we realized that we would need THREE episodes to cover everything! So this is part 2 of 3!  In this episode, we'll talk about the infamous "wet toilet paper" lawsuit, the culture and cult of Lularoe, and all the crazy prints!

Also! A phone call from our friend Selina Sanders about Black Friday and all the other shopping holidays. Amanda gives a history lesson about Black Friday and the crazy gift buying frenzy of modern life.  And she will introduce the Clotheshorse Buy Better Holiday Pledge:

Say no to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Choose Giving Tuesday.
Give Secondhand.
Buy Local.
Shop Small.
Be mindful of holiday waste.
Don’t give your money to assholes!

Also! A special message/update about our Pegasus sponsor, Picnicwear. Tune into hear about the new stuff Dani is working on for the holidays.  And...If you’ve found something you’re in love with on the Picnicwear instagram or the website, you’re in luck, because Clotheshorse listeners can use promo code clotheshorse10 to get 10% off any purchase of $50 and over from now until the end of November.
