#1: Ruby and Lara Address Femininity

Get it? A dress? Ruby and Lara definitely have ‘feminine’ style--they're just not quite sure what that means yet. In this episode, they discuss how fashion is changing with conceptions of gender, reminisce on pre-teen style mishaps, and debate if Prada is the secret sauce to becoming an imperfectly perfect woman.
