INSTAGRAM: @missamandablake and @missamandablake.artTHIS EPISODE was inspired by the song Meet Virginia from Train’s 1998 debut album, Train. According to Train’s lead singer Patrick Monahan, “She’s real parts of real women that make up a woman that I’ve always wanted to meet.” And according to Songfacts: One of the girls who inspired this song was Train bass player Charlie Colin's girlfriend, Amber. According to Monahan, they were playing softball against the Counting Crows when Amber showed up from a formal event and played shortstop in a dress and high heels, thus the line, "Wears high heels when she exercises."
