fifty shades of grey
in this, our longest episode ever, we call upon strength from our subconsciouses and inner goddesses to do a merengue with some salsa moves thrown in and tackle the mammoth task of discussing fifty shades of grey by e.l. james (aka. snowsqueens icedragon). we once again find ourselves discussing the twilight saga and its associated fan fiction, safe words, the ins and outs of a bdsm lifestyle, the dakota johnson and ellen degeneres "actually, no – that's not the truth, Ellen" moment in history and it's mysterious ties to fifty shades of grey, the importance of reading contracts before signing them.
fifty shades of grey, fifty shades darker and fifty shades freed took the world by storm. so much so that now, over ten years later, the world still yearns to understand the "what", "how" and most importantly "why" behind the writing and publication of this book. this titillating tale won the listeners' vote and the overall vote for our talk lit, get hit book of the month, covering the genre of smut.
will fifty shades of grey make our inner goddesses "jump up and down with cheer-leading pom-poms" or leave us distressed, confused and fifty shades of f*cked up.
