We back.

No one reads these so i'm not writing them anymore. Thanks for listening!

Abbey Nights & Petty Delights 🔥💅🌈 It’s just the girls— Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess —and the energy is chaotic, caffeinated, and just a little bit delusional (the way we like it). ✨ This week, Viki introduces a new segment breaking down the highs and lows instead of the usual play-by-play—and honestly? Growth. 🎤 Ari still hasn’t made it to karaoke at Stonewall (we’re starting to think it’...

Capitalism, Critiques & C*nty Cinema 💅🔥🎬 It’s just Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess this week, and the dolls are TIRED. Like, late-stage capitalism is kicking everyone’s ass tired. 💸 We kick things off talking about work stress, survival mode, and the delusion required to keep showing up to jobs that don’t deserve us. Then we pivot (barely) into travel plans , because if we’re going to suffer,...

Karaoke, Chaos & Cult Behavior 🎤🙏🔥 The trio is BACK— Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ —and this week we’re catching up the old-fashioned way: talking mess, telling truths, and laughing through it all . 📱 Viki has a rude awakening after discovering on social media that… she might not be everyone’s cup of tea. (Shocking. Devastating. Also… expected.) 🎤 Ari is stepping fully into her era as...

Tired, Turnt & Telling Everything 💅🔥😴 The dolls are EXHAUSTED this week, and for good reason. Viki Villainess, Ari Kiki, and DJ are all back in the studio, running on fumes and bad decisions, ready to unpack a week full of chaos. 🎬 Viki is fresh off a whirlwind of secret Hollywood parties , and you already know she’s got stories she probably shouldn’t be telling (but will anyway). 🏨 Ari i...

Hangovers, Headlines & Hateration 🍑🔥🥴 The gang is so BACK together this week. Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ, and everybody is going THROUGH it in their own special way. 😤 Ari is fed up with work and ready to clock out mentally (and maybe physically). 📈 Viki is out here climbing the retail ladder , one shady interaction at a time—corporate better watch out. 🥴 And DJ is recovering from...

Fast Content & Faster Opinions 📱🔥💅 It’s just Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess this week, and baby… they are MOVING. ⚡ We kick things off with Ari absolutely speed-running through content consumption like it’s an Olympic sport, nothing is finished, everything is judged. 💼 Meanwhile, Viki brings some actually good news from work (we know, shocking), and for once the vibes are… optimistic? Don’t...

Fashion, Fame & Follicle Foolishness 💇‍♀️✨🔥 The gang is ALL here this week! Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ , and everyone’s bringing a little chaos to the function. 😤 Ari is navigating some workplace drama (HR is definitely listening), ☄️ DJ narrowly escapes what he swears was a Midwestern meteor shower and a black out party 👗 and Viki gives us a brief history of fashion that somehow t...

It’s just the girls this week as Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess hold it down while DJ is away. Ari is feeling the pressure from work and contemplating some new tattoo inspiration , because sometimes the only way to deal with stress is permanent ink and a little chaos. Meanwhile, Viki is living her best fashion fantasy and sharing stories from her work with Dior , and yes, the girls want all the glam...

The trio is back in full formation this week as Viki, Ari, and DJ settle in for another round of laughs, chaos, and questionable opinions. On opening night, Viki heads to see Scream 7 and comes back with thoughts … and let’s just say not all of them are flattering. Ari is busy plotting her next travel adventure, while DJ is here strictly for the vibes (and the occasional shady remark). Then it’s t...

DJ is back in the mix this week and the chaos picks up right where we like it. Ari is battling NYC’s fourth snowstorm of the season (send help and thermal underwear), while Viki recounts a workplace verbal altercation that proves patience is truly a virtue… just not this week. From there, we spiral into conversations about dirty Labubu dolls and why the internet refuses to act right. The girls als...

This week on The Shade Parade , the energy starts soft, sweet, and slightly delusional—before spiraling into the chaos we know and love. 💔 Ari Kiki kicks things off with the story of a hookup that almost happened… and then very much did not. We’ve all been there, but few have made it this entertaining. 💖 Meanwhile, Viki Villainess is floating in romantic bliss, reminiscing about her Valentine’s...

Cold Weather, Hot Takes ❄️🔥🎤 This week it’s just the dolls! Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess , because DJ is off on yet another vacation (must be nice). While he’s somewhere warm, we’re freezing our lace fronts off in -10° NYC weather , with a real feel colder than the North Pole. 🥶 And yet somehow, that doesn’t stop Ari from running all over New York and New Jersey like she’s training for the Wint...

Snowed In, Snowed Out, and Snowed On ❄️🔥🗽 This week on The Shade Parade , Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ gather to unpack a week where the weather was rude, the travel was questionable, and the tea was HOT. We start with the massive snowstorm that shut down most of the country and spiral into a very important debate: Is being a lifelong New Yorker a badge of honor—or should everyone have an e...

Episode 254: Nosotros Culturistas After five long months away , the dolls are BACK! because life has been lifing, the world is burning, and silence was no longer an option.

– Bots, Birthdays, and Black Joy 🌈🤖🎉 This week on The Shade Parade , Viki Villainess and Ari Kiki are back to shake tables, flip wigs, and snatch edges, because honey, there’s A LOT going on . 🧠 First up, we ask the important question: Why does AI always sound like a passive-aggressive white man? Seriously, who programmed this microaggression machine? #WhiteManInTheMachine 🌈 We give you a fin...

Pride, Protests & Problematic Pop Stars * 🇺🇸🔥🌈 This week, Viki Villainess and Ari Kiki are not holding back, because America has a fucking problem *, and we’ve got receipts, rage, and rants ready. 🧾💥 We jump right into the peaceful protests in Los Angeles standing up against the horrific ICE raids sweeping the nation.

She’s Mad, She’s Dragged, She’s Still Showing Up! 😤💅🌈 This week on The Shade Parade , Viki Villainess is feeling extra spicy —and honey, she’s irritated by life, love, politics, and pretty much everything in between . 🧨 Whether it’s the news cycle or just bad brows, she’s not here for any of it. And we LOVE to see it. #IrritableBitchSyndrome We dive into the chilling story of the North Hollywo...

Beat the Clock & Beat These Tariffs! 📚💄🕰️ This week, Viki Villainess is putting on her best face (literally) to do something truly out of character— reading storybooks to children in the park . Yes, you read that right. The queen who can’t stand kids is out here giving Sesame Street realness for the greater good… or at least for the photo op. 👶📖💅 Ari Kiki does her best to steer the ship,...
