Bad oBITCHuaries

The final episode in our series, Lee showcases the glorious outlaw, horse riding, dress making Laura Bullion aka Thorny Rose. Also highlights some very boring facts about weatherspoons. History may have sidelined Thorny Rose, articles "about her" may have actually focused on the men she intersected with, but as always we make sure she gets her credit she deserves! Especially as the only one of her bandit pals who didn't get caughtAs always, like subscribe and leave us a nice commentApologies for the weird buzz around 15-20 minutes in!

A special double dip honouring a truly awful, pioneering lesbian who let her hatred (or roid rage) blind her with regards to some serious moral decisions.
