You Are a Work Of Art

The Dirty Thirty

There is not a single episode of Skirts Up that makes me laugh harder than this one! Samantha's long time best friend, Courtney, takes the mic and together they share wild stories of the past that have them wondering how the hell they survived to be 30. From midnight ambulance rides for *possibly* the wrong person to catching a hotel room on fire, this one hits home on all the feels.

Secrets Always Come Out

In this day and age the majority of us can say that we have taken a DNA test of some sort. 23 & me and Ancestry being two of the most common. Imagine doing a DNA test for fun just to see learn more about your heritage and instead learn that you have not one, but TWO siblings you never knew existed. This blast from the past is from season one where hosts Samantha and Melissa discuss their own personal findings with one of them resulting in family secrets being unraveled. Do you have a story like this? Lets here it!

You Are a Work Of Art

As we count down to the beginning of season 5, we want to highlight some of our favorite past guests. Today we bring to you our good friends Jill and David, the photographers behind the luxury boudoir studio One Soul. You may remember that Melissa and Samantha did their very first boudoir session at One Soul and it was an amazing experience! If you have been toying with the idea of getting behind the lens, DO IT!

The Life of Kink

Enjoy this little blast from the past! It's so fun going back and listening to episodes from season one. Back when we were baby podcasters with not a clue what we were doing. We tend to tell people season one was terrible but listening back, the conversations and story telling is quite beautiful. We'll admit the editing was still really rough with tons of mistakes but hey, you gotta start somewhere. We chose to reshare this episode in light of season 5 coming in hot (July 9th, '26). By hot I mean A LOT of spice and intimacy exploration for the ladies. Over the years we have touched on female pleasure and intimacy but this was the very first and it opened Samantha's eyes to a whole world of intimacy she did know existed! For those of you curious about what's out there and may be of interest to try, this is the perfect gateway to getting the wheels turning, ideas flowing, conversations with your partner started. Welcome to the introduction to dating, kink, and fantasy. Enjoy

What Would Love Do?

Season Finale does not skimp on the laughter. It's sad to say goodbye to something so good but also heartfelt and filled with so much love. Samantha and Melissa celebrate the 90th episode of Skirts Up, marking the end of their “nine season,” inspired by Dr. Sue McCready’s numerology theme of creativity, expansion, and nonjudgmental teaching. Also taking note that the season unexpectedly lasted six months due to prerecording and a unplanned show shift. Melissa shares she’s stepping back to focus inward and on her shop, while Samantha teases Season 5 is already underway and may feature her solo, rotating past guests as co-hosts, or a new permanent co-host. They reflect on key lessons—“we listen, we do not judge,” curiosity, personal growth, and building a safe, loving community—while discussing frustrations, friendships, gossip, grief (Ada and Waverly), and even never before heard experiences with animal communicators and “ghost” energy. It end with gratitude, hints of Melissa popping back in, and invite audience requests.
