Athena Dion: “Me, Juicy, Mia and Vita VonTesse Starr. We’re gonna watch the whole episode, have a question and answer portion, and then afterwards, we’re clearing the space and we’re having the biggest dance party so come on out. Every Friday, we’re doing viewing parties here. And we have a brand new burger menu. I’m squeezing in this corset because I tried all the burgers, they are to die for.”
