Oh, not quite because my name is Madison Sullivan Thorpe and I also co-host this podcast.

You know what?

There's always next week.

Your voice is so distinctive.

We know who you are.

Thanks, Rae.

But if you are a first time listener, welcome.

Welcome.

What has been going on this week?

Clarisonic Brush, what a throwback.

The chokehold they had on me.

I remember working in store at Mecca at the time and they started stocking Clarisonic and me thinking all the Christmases had come at once, that I could redeem my 40% off to buy something to scrub my face.

I just think the way that Jo was explaining that, I was like, ooh.

It was a hard one to miss.

I think we were like if we had to pick a brand that she would front, we were like Marc Jacobs Daisy would make sense being a friend of VB's.

Honestly, I was really quite surprised by this because totally to your point, Rae, I'm with you.

And even taking the recency bias into effect, I'm like –

You know, Alex Earl is still a grown woman to make this decision.

Like, is this going to be her push into the limelight and the spotlight?

Because I think about all of the criticism that comes with starting a beauty brand and what Alex Earl herself has faced.
