Wordle #1118 – CAMEO
The video switches to a second camera, now framing Bree where she sits opposite the two hosts.
“Thank you for having me,” Bree says demurely, lowering her eyes.
She’s trying to play the role of bereaved wife—serious and subdued—but I can tell she’s secretly thrilled. Maybe it’s the studio lighting, but her eyes seem to sparkle, and her lips keep wanting to break into a smile.
Bree almost always puts her most fashionable foot forward, but she truly went all out today. Her hair, makeup, and nails all appear to be professionally done, and her dusty pink crochet-lace dress is luxe, to say the least. Black Widow Barbie.
She looks chic, yet self-conscious, fiddling with her gold necklace. The camera doesn’t pick up the details, but I recognize Bree’s “good luck charm”—a custom cameo pendant of Lola on a blush background. She only wears it when she’s feeling nervous about a “big day.”
Good. She should be nervous.
“Bree, we are so lucky to have you as a guest,” Virginia coos to Bree.
A torrent of agreement spews from the audience.
“And we’re lucky to have such an incredible producer,” Kaitlyn interjects. She gestures to somewhere off camera, presumably at Stevie, and mimes a golf clap. “Shout-out to Stevie for making all this happen.”
From what I gather, Stevie is something of a fan favorite herself, though she seldom shows her face, offering instead the occasional quip or wry comment from behind the scenes. Like the Wizard of Oz of podcasting.
The chat window fills with heart emojis and proclamations of, “We love you, Stevie!”
