Padma “Bag Secured” Lakshmi

<p>Pack your knives, this is a juicy one. We get spicy with empress of the judges table—Padma Lakshmi—who just this week announced she'd be leaving Top Chef after 20 seasons! (We didn't plan that but ok, spirit.) Sink into her delicious career as a model, actress, writer, television host, cookist, jewelry designer, lover of older men, cigarette smoker, endometriosis sufferer, foundation starter, haver of glowing skin, and the most iconic bag securer in the history of bags. Plus—Lily invents a new word (see if you can find it!).</p> <p> </p> <p>And this Friday on the VIP Lounge, we dig into Netflix's The Ultimatum: Queer Love, so if you haven't watched—catch up now!
