Beat the Clock & Beat These Tariffs! 📚💄🕰️
This week, Viki Villainess is putting on her best face (literally) to do something truly out of character—reading storybooks to children in the park. Yes, you read that right. The queen who can’t stand kids is out here giving Sesame Street realness for the greater good… or at least for the photo op. 👶📖💅
Ari Kiki does her best to steer the ship, but with Viki distracted by glitter, glue sticks, and the trauma of toddlers, we quickly realize why Viki is usually the one holding the wheel. 🚢💨
We also dig into the mess that is the new Trump tariffs—because of course the Orange Menace is back with another economically illiterate idea—and we cackle over China’s shady response. Spoiler alert: the international group chat is dragging us. 🐉💸 #TrumpTariffs #ChinaSaidWhatTheySaid
Plus:
✨ Can Viki finish her beat before time runs out (or she loses patience)?
✨ Will Ari bring some thoughtful convos to this absolute circus?
✨ And will DJ say anything funny this week? (We hope!)
It’s messy, it’s shady, it’s unexpectedly heartwarming—and it’s The Shade Parade at its unfiltered best. 🎧💥
