‐ Thank you so much for driving me today.

I'm like so nervous, I ca‐‐

can't stop burping, you know?

‐ Annie, it's okay.

I don't care.

Do you wanna just skip it?

‐ What?

‐ So you don't feel nervous anymore.

I mean, we could go fuck in the woods,

and it's a perfect plan.

‐ You know this is fucking big for me.

This is WAHAM. ‐ Right.

But you keep saying that,

and I'm not sure I know what it means.

What's that again? ‐ The WAHAM conference.

Women Are Having A Moment.

‐ Ah.

‐ It‐‐it's "female business empowerment conference

to empower women in business."

And I finally don't have to cover municipal zoning

or whatever, so I mean this is a good thing.

‐ Yeah, I get that.

I just wish we could hang out all day

like we used to when we both didn't have jobs.

I miss you. ‐ Yeah, well I miss you, too,

but you know what could be another hot option?

‐ Yeah?

‐ We could both have jobs.

‐ You're saying I should get a job.

‐ Maybe.

‐ Um, no, you're right.

I'll see what I can figure out.

‐ At WAHAM, we empower women

to succeed in business.

Every single vendor you see here today

has used the WAHAM Steps to Success

to make their lady boss dreams come true.

I was the youngest female CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

Women are having a moment. This is WAHAM.

Thank you to our corporate sponsors.

‐ Press kit, goody bag. Have a great WAHAM.

‐ Hi.

Hi, I'm Annie Easton from "The Thorn."

Um, I'm a little bit late, uh,

'cause my boyfriend missed the exit,

but we don't need to get into the whole ordeal of it,

and you don't care so.

‐ Here are your credentials,

and you missed your interview slot with Justine,

but you can catch her keynote at 3:00.

‐ Oh, I'm sorry, did you say I missed the interview slot?

‐ Yeah, it was a ten‐minute slot.

‐ Um, is there any way I could even just get,

like, one minute with Justine?

Because, really, there's no article unless I talk to her,

so I don't have anything to write about.

‐ There's nothing that I can do.

I'm sorry. ‐ Hey.

I don't mind squeezing her in.

‐ Oh, it's you!

‐ Yes, yes, of course!

Um, do‐‐do we have time?

‐ Uh, five minutes.

Or, like two minutes, we do. ‐ Okay, we'll take it.

We'll take what we have.

Okay, let's do it, come on!

‐ Cool. ‐ Okay, come on.

‐ Yeah, yeah, yeah! So where are you from?

‐ Oh, I‐I'm from here. I'm from Portland.

‐ If we're gonna go, let's go. Come on.

‐ You literally saved me back there.

I honestly felt ill. [laughs]

‐ Oh, my gosh, well, if a few minutes of my time can help you,

we gotta do it. ‐ [laughs]

‐ Plus, I love your blouse so I was already on board.

‐ Oh, well, thank you. Yeah, um‐‐

Yeah, I found this designer online,

'cause it's always, I don't know,

it's such a hunt to find cool clothes for fat women.

‐ Wow, I love how you say that word: "fat."

I don't know that I would say...that.

‐ Oh, I mean, yeah, I don't mind saying it.

I'm fat. It's just true, you know?

I'm not afraid of it, it's just a descriptor so.

‐ That is so powerful.

I‐‐I love that.

‐ Oh, well, thank you. ‐ Last question.

‐ Oh, oh, I actually haven't asked any questions yet.

‐ Oh, okay, so then your first question

will be your last question.

‐ Okay, um, okay.

So I was surprised to see that tickets to this event

start at $300, and...

I know that part of WAHAM's mission statement

is lifting up every woman, but

can you really do that

if the price point is so inaccessible?

‐ Um, so I've thought about this quite a bit,

and we offer sponsorships for low‐income women,

so they can attend free of charge.

‐ Got it. ‐ So we've kind of already

got that all figured out,

so I have to go, but, um, thank you for coming.

‐ Okay.

‐ Can I get a little bag of apricots?

‐ Yup, sure do. ‐ Thank you so much.

‐ Mmm, great. ‐ Thanks, Annie.

‐ Oh, um, would there be any way that I could possibly,

I don't know, meet with one of the low‐income women

who was sponsored?

‐ Ugh, it's such a bummer, actually.

She couldn't make it 'cause she couldn't get off work.

But enjoy the day. That badge gets you a water.

‐ Selfies! ‐ All right, beautiful ladies,

thank you so much, that's it. We're gonna go.

I always felt that there was something

about mass market sex toys that was gross and embarrassing.

Probably both. [laughs]

DIANE: These conferences are almost exclusively

how I connect with the clientele.

It's helped us grow in an exponential way.

And these women, they're so supportive.

‐ Wow, and so, what exactly is your business?

‐ Oh, makeup for your legs. ‐ Oh.

‐ Like to cover the gross skin on your legs.

‐ And so is that a big problem for most women?

‐ Yeah. Maybe the biggest.

I mean, for years I was suffering from, like,

disgusting leg skin.

‐ Yeah, and so then, do people use this every day?

‐ Yeah, once it's part of your routine, it's totally easy.

You just have to wait 30 minutes after application

to put your pants on.

‐ Wow, and so, why would you put makeup on

and then put pants on?

'Cause no one will see it.

‐ Yeah, but you'll have the confidence

of a woman whose disgusting leg skin is covered up.

Honestly, it's so much fun.

I think you should try it. ‐ Oh.

‐ May I? ‐ Oh, wow, sure.

DIANE: Ooh. ‐ That's good.

‐ Yeah, your legs are taking the makeup beautifully.

I'm gonna do your feet too. ‐ Oh.

It's because they're in power. ‐ Okay, and with women?

screaming in huge pink letters that we're powerful

who were genuinely really getting something out of it.

But to me, it just felt like it was about money.

‐ Okay. We're getting somewhere.

Monetizing feminism. Right?

‐ Yes, exactly, and women are made to feel so insecure

and then each insecurity

is like a new opportunity to make more money.

‐ It's sad. ‐ Yes.

And all day, all they talked about was self‐care,

but it's not taking care of yourself

to agree that you're ugly and you need to be fixed.

if you strip everything away here?

What's an example?

‐ Well, I mean, if I'm being honest, like,

the first thing that I think of

is my abortion, you know?

I mean, that was care.

I had to in the moment evaluate what I wanted,

and take care of myself,

and then all the women that were there that took care of me.

‐ Well, thanks for telling me.

I mean, this is totally your call,

but you could, you know, put that in the article.
