## Resource

Oh decisions have been made --many not good--this week! From choices made between Amazon and Mugler in fashion at the Met Gala, to Pick Me's saying anything on a beach but acting differently, to all that is going on in Rhode Island. Welcome Van, host of the Best Week Ever Podcast where she gives a list weekly of who in pop culture is having the best week and the worst week based on their choices. Mani and Van ( @bestweekeverpodcast) go through the some Met Gala hits and misses and judge accordingly, then this Summer House episode featuring the worst friend and lying a$$ hoe in history, then over to Rhode Island to go to the mansions in Newport and have a doll party and unmasking. There were some seriously good things to come out of TV this week and some dark things...let's talk about it all in the Mix!
