Prepare to learn to bend and snap as we jump into Legally Blonde!

This week I speak to the wonderful Lucy Ford, showbiz reporter turned social content creator (for Netflix, no less) and radio presenter, but constantly Extremely Online™️ person. Lucy is one of my very favourite people on the internet for her nuanced and insightful thoughts on online culture, and we discussed our shared love of boybands, creativity, being a positive force and - I couldn't help myself - the day she gave Reese Witherspoon her scented dissertation.

A woman dumps her boyfriend because she's about to go to Harvard Law School and doesn't want his childish antics holding her back. Then this jilted lover devises an elaborate scheme to enroll in her school specifically to stalk her and systematically destroy her life.

Sound like a horror story? Well, if you switch out the gender of the psycho stalker and add some fun music, then you've got yourself the movie, "Legally Blonde."
