O’Keeffe the Rebel S2E10



Often the center of gossip, this artist was a true rebel to the core. Let ‘em talk! Georgia O’Keeffe was a trailblazer for women in the arts and wasn’t afraid to stir up some controversy. Mildly NSFW… it’s O’Keeffe, guys! You KNOW we have to talk about some human anatomy!

Seriously though…. We laughed so hard recording this episode, we almost didn’t get the thing made!

In the Episode:

  • Jess is BACK!
  • The life and scandalous times of Georgia O’Keeffe
  • The infamous flower paintings… lady parts?
  • The dreaded phrase “great WOMAN painter”
