## Resource

Tessa Belle returns to Girls Rewatch for a chaotic, thoughtful, and extremely necessary conversation about whether models should, in fact, be treated as people. We’re diving into Sex and the City Season 1, Episode 2, “Models and Mortals,” the show’s early takedown of the beauty industrial complex. Evan, Amelia, and Tessa unpack why SATC is somehow wildly woke and deeply problematic at the exact same time and why that tension is part of the magic that keeps us rewatching.
