This week, Merin and Kenz go SOLO and celebrate World Gin Day by NOT drinking gin! We talk wigs in the 20th/21st century while sipping on some boxed pinot noir and snacking on Wegman’s gruyere- we’re talking low key, y’all. Listen in to learn about the tedious (and sometimes scary?) wig-making industry, the pro’s of boxed wine, and the way that systemic racism has contributed to the wig industry in the past 60 years. We hope that if you are choosing to listen to Fancy Cheese Tuesday, you are also dedicating time and effort to the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as the ongoing fight for transgender rights. Please check out our links below for resources on how you can make a difference.
