She is the Moment: Episode 55 (The Story of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the Original Hyper-Public First Kid)

In our first episode of Season 5 we are coming to y’all from Detroit!! We kick off the season with a cocktail called the Hanky-Panky. This drink is Ada “Coley” Coleman’s most famous drink from the turn of the century. Her classic concoction is still on menu today at her old bar and it ties perfectly to the era and theme of STEPHANIE’s scandal. 

STEPHANIE shines a light on the story of the original hyper-public first kid, Alice Roosevelt. We 🥂to Alice Roosevelt’s most iconic quote, a quote that she later had enshrined in needlepoint on a tea pillow “If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me.”
