Summary

HEY. Welcome back! We’re so happy to have you here. We’re going just a liiiiiiittle bit rogue this week and changing things up. Yeeeep, we’re interviewing former Bachelor star Jen Hawke - also known as Australia’s favourite reality TV villain - about the power of the producer. Can a reality TV producer create a villain, we ask her, or do they need something to actually play with in order to craft their character? PLUS, fashion blogger Gary Pepper Girl published the intricate details of her wedding prep on Into The Gloss and wowee do we have some thoughts and feelings to unpack. If you’re interested in checking out some of the articles we pointed to in the show, you can here: Amanda Sherker on the 7 Ways The Beauty Industry Convinced Women That They Weren't Good Enough for The Huffington Post. Jia Tolentino on The Year That Skin Care Became a Coping Mechanism for The New Yorker. Caitlin Fitzsimmons on how much Australians really spend on their weddings for the Sydney Morning Herald. You're so welcome to join the conversation in our Facebook group! Otherwise, you can find us on Twitter, follow Michelle on Instagram here, Zara on Instagram here or get in touch at shamelessthepodcast@gmail.com. And before we go: We're a tiny, little independent podcast who rely on your reviews for others to find us. If you have the time, we'd love it if you could leave us a review and we promise we will pay you back. One day. Maybe. Somehow.

Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.

0:07.6

Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and

0:16.8

drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social

0:22.2

trip that was also relaxing.

0:23.7

Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.

0:26.4

I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.

0:31.1

So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?

0:34.7

Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.

0:37.6

If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.

0:39.9

Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.

0:51.3

Yeah, that's exactly why I love Airbnb too.

0:53.9

They're awesome because you have your own space

in your own room, but feel really close to your friends and family

if you're going on a group trip,

and the point is to spend time together.

1:01.9

Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.

1:05.0

We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as

1:09.5

some mid-afternoon apparel.

1:10.7

Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.

1:15.3

With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find

1:21.5

exactly what you're looking for with confidence.

Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
