Have you seen Bridget Fonda?

Who was the “It” girl you remember most from your teens or early twenties? For many of us, Bridget Fonda makes the list. Her unique mix of ingenue and cerebral sexy were ionic for the era. 

Then there is her role as Janet in Singles. Oh man, that one hit a little too close to home for me. The girl who deludes herself into thinking the bad boy is into her, letting him walk all over her to keep the delusion intact… not me at all. Nope. When Karin asked me if I’d read the news about Bridget, I thought maybe she’d gone the Meg and Melanie route and got some work done.

Not the case. In fact some of the buzz was clearly laced with judgment about her having done nothing. Seriously?! How did we get here? How is it that there is such a narrow window that defines publicly acceptable aging for women? 

In this episode we talk about The Bridget effect. What happens to our wellbeing under the pressure of aging. Plus we’ll laugh as I out one of Karin’s behind the scenes habits. And yeah, we’ll also ponder the impending holiday… Valentine’s Day. Or, as I call it; the annual commercialized celebration of the patron saint of Beekeepers and epilepsy. ← Fun Facts Freebie ;)
