We are Hayley and Victoria, two Internet friends who love pop culture and love writing and are good at writing about pop culture.
Victoria loves the Mets even when they are bad and will unfortunately never stop thinking about those famous star-crossed lovers: Jaime and Brienne. Hayley loves Legally Blonde, which is most likely playing in the background right now. They both love yoga, astrology, the Mamma Mia! Cinematic Universe (MM!CU), the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the fact that Stellan Skarsgaard connects the MM!CU and the MCU, and much, much more.
If you like any of these things, Victoria and/or Hayley included, we promise you will like our newsletter.
When we were brainstorming names for this project, we thought of the Golden Girls. We're not quite there yet; that's why we're Gold-Plated. Victoria has also spent a lot of time listening to Taylor Swift's folklore, and found these lyrics from "Mirrorball" particularly resonant: "I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try."
We're try, try, trying.
When you subscribe, you’ll get two newsletters a week: one on Tuesdays from one of us, and a joint letter on Fridays.
