Episode Five: Fall is Coming… and shit

Starting with this episode and through September, episodes of Frills and Shit are going to be a bit shorter while Becky is on vacation to the USA. Hopefully adopting this shorter format will mean less delays. Also America has better internet than Australia! Here's the run down of links for this week's episode:
