episode 42: HILF 42 - Coco Chanel with Amanda Michelle
The life of Coco Chanel is one of an extraordinary person living through extraordinary times. Born into poverty she rises not only to revolutionize the fashion industry, but to become so wealthy she can throw a giant diamond into the sea to piss off her boyfriend. Buckle up for the bad bitch, Coco Chanel.
Dawn is joined in this HILF-ing by Amanda Michelle, a comedian, film-maker and fashion connoisseur. Hear why Amanda has always been fascinated by Coco Chanel and how she got the tattoo before she knew about the Nazi stuff...
