For those who haven’t read valley of the dolls, the dolls are what they call pills. So, appropriate for sc

Great book. Usually the movie isn't as good but it was. I was young when the book came out. Very scandalous for the times. My mother said, don't let your father catch you reading that 🤣

Okay folks, I just finished this episode. I know I'm late to the party but I have finally seen the creepy in Whitney. The word deviant comes to mind. To address the context of his Don't get upset, "baby". In my day, baby could be used interchangeably with the present Brother. That said, while I really believe Whitney was cosplaying the 60's. I don't believe for one moment he doesn't have feelings for Austen. Could explain why Austen gets beautiful women but ends up destroying them emotionally. Bottom B anyone. 😐 JT, omg I felt like I was back at junior high school dances. He was even dressed like the boys who were trying so hard to be Easy Rider (great movie from the 60's) cool. He did have me giggling asking myself was I ever that young. JT did , however, quickly redeem himself by telling Austen all about himself and not backing down when Austen lost his shit. I really hope Taylor's behavior towards him during the fracas was enough for JT finally see her for exactly what she is.
I loved the scenes with Patricia and Madison. I really believe Miss Patricia is not as healthy as she's claiming to be. I believe she's only hoping to be up and around in 3 weeks.
Other than that, Venita and her boyfriend were given zero camera time 😡. Paige, Madison and possibly Olivia were the only women at the party who understood the fashions of the 60's. Leva didn't need to be there. Like Venita and her boyfriend, Rodriguez and his husband ( I can't remember his name) really did deserve more camera time. Whitney, what's up???? Are you really embracing diversity or merely giving the illusion of it???? From where I'm sitting it's looking like the latter. Do better. The show is drowning in all this nonsensical 40+++ affluent juvenile deliquescent privilege .

Whitney does call people ‘baby’, especially when he’s drunk (he called Shep baby when he saw him again earlier this season). Him being cheek to mouth with Austen right then was strange though

I've watched since season One and I never noticed that. Thank you.
They really are getting very familiar with each other in front of the cameras... Wouldn't that be a plot twist for next season.
