Since the purpose of this tour was to play small venues and get super close to our LadyGang, we are running all over the country with a tiny crew—one producer and Keltie’s assistant, Prince Derek. Here, he’s applying more ofe.l.f.’s Halo Glow highlighterbecause, after a 4 a.m. wake-up to get to Chicago, Kelts looked a little tired.

We get ready all together, go over last-minute changes to the shows, and then usually gossip about things we saw on Reddit that day. The podcast really is an extension of our friendship, and we are the same on-stage and off.

We literally help each other with our hair, makeup, and everything else (like this leg shimmer!).

06of 11Anything for the FansKate Scott PhotographyWe’re signing some posters for the venue before the show. It means so much to us that our “gang” still shows up for us after almost ten years as a podcast. We see fans at shows who have been listening since the beginning and ones who just found us this year—it’s really sweet!

On this tour, we kept our merchandise offerings small, with two tees that Jac designed and autographed copies of our two books, Act Like a Lady and Lady Secrets.

09of 11Final Fit CheckKate Scott PhotographyWe always have to get an outfit picture before the show. Our theme for the tour is asking everyone to wear “the good stuff,” so we’ve been rocking glitter, sequins, formal gowns, tiaras, gloves, and anything that makes us feel special (fun fact: all of these looks are from Marshalls!).

We just want to have a fun night out with no worries, where our listeners can laugh and forget their own stumbles through ladylife!

11of 11LFG!Kate Scott PhotographyWe still get nervous at every show because we care so much about our fans. We know they spent their hard-earned money on a ticket to see us, and we want their experience to be magical. We always find ways to spoil and interact with them at the shows so they leave, hopefully feeling special. Okay, here we go!
