Adam (he/him) reminds us about the 2000 reality tv dumpster fire that was the two hour special "Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire?" Fifty women come looking for love, one woman, Darva Conger leaves incredibly disappointed with her new husband. Who is our bachelor Rick Rockwell, and is he even a millionaire?
Bec (they/them) then recounts the life of fashion icon and actual Nazi agent Coco Chanel. Despite growing up in poverty, Coco went on to find fame and fortune which allowed her to rub elbows with some upper crust people, perhaps this is where she really honed into her anti-semitism. Once Coco Chanel had a bad business deal that she seems to use as the basis to help the Nazi's while they occupy Paris. Using her social connections, she did all she could to help the German's during the war, no matter what the Chanel apologists say.
