Charmed, I'm sure Serena Shahidi here would let me ruin your life. How's everyone doing? Are we feeling fabulous?

We having the day of our lives? What's up?

So this episode is going to be a little bit different, right? So original glam demonats remember a TikTok series that I used to do in the Hamptons 2020 when I was, you know, escaping just as part of the 1% just like in a bunker that was built for me personally.

A series that used to do called history for girls and gays, and I think I did episodes on like Rudy Gernrick, Candy Darling, Helen Gurley Brown, et cetera, et cetera, fashion designers, socialites, club kids, and so on basically the people and events who shaped us girlies and our Pinterest boards.

And this is something I really, I need to bring it back, I enjoyed doing it, and it's always been something I'm interested in because I'm a historian really. And this episode is going to be a bit more reminiscent of that.

So Britney Spears' conservatorship court battle has caused a lot of reflection about how female celebrities were and are treated especially when they get into trouble, but today we're not talking about Britney.

We're talking about a different young, maligned female star turned party girl turned train wreck. And no, it's not me yet.

This is one of two episodes spawned by a conversation I had with Daniel Spielberger, the blogger behind the Tumblr blog Lindsay Lohan's last fan.

A few months ago I stumbled upon one of his absurd yet strangely enlightening posts, and since then I've become borderline pathologically obsessed with the rise and fall of Lindsay Lohan.

And so this is going to be like part interview part, you know, my monologues, but I'll let Daniel introduce himself.

Hi, I am here with Daniel Spielberger, who is a writer, is that the term you would use?

Yes, writer writer and going about life.

Just having a ball professor at the University of life and writer.

Okay, I love that for you. Let me explain, let me explain how we found each other as the legend goes.

So one day I was trying to clear out my camera roll, lots of screenshots there, lots of God knows what in there. And I found a picture.

And I'm going to describe the picture that I tweeted. It is a picture of Lindsay Lohan drunk.

It's hard to see where she is, but she's walking, she's in a very sparkly mini dress, she's holding a phone and a little bag.

And the text on top of it is my favorite moment of the night is when I am so drunk, I cannot hear anything, I cannot hear people make fun of me, I cannot hear my phone buzz with text messages from my angry dad.

I cannot hear the rhythmically creeping sound of my frantic heartbeat. It's euphoria, it's bliss. I know Lindsay hears the nothingness. I know Lindsay overwhelmed by all the flashing lights can also hear the same pulsing ambience.

So I found that and I tweeted it. I said, I must know the backstory of this, where did it come from, because I knew I had seen it before and I loved it, but I was like, how did this come about.

And yeah, so I guess someone sent you the Twitter whatever and you, you replied and I was like, I have to have you on the pod.
