Episode 193 Transcript
Corinne
I have been waiting for this episode! I’ve been waiting months!
Virginia
You really have been waiting for months.
Corinne
Listeners, I am really excited to announce that we are finally going to talk about seasonal color analysis. Some of you probably know that I got mine done a while back. And then I had to drag Virginia kicking and screaming.
Virginia
Not even! I just kept forgetting about it.
Corinne
I had to scroll back years and years through her Instagram to find pictures that were suitable for submission.
Virginia
I was so lukewarm on this topic. It was also a complicated process. There were a lot of photos you had to find. And I just kept being like, “I’m sorry, Corinne, I didn’t do it. I didn’t do it.” And then you finally were like, “I will find all your photos.” So Corinne did my homework for me for this episode.
Corinne
It was maybe slightly overbearing.
Virginia
No, no, no, no. I mean, here we are. It’s going to be an amazing episode. I’m very excited.
