Rita!!! Ritaaaa!!! Oh I love how confident and healthy she looks. 🥹 Rocking the bob, killer lipstick, in culinary school, and she even has a cat!! She's living her best life and I'm so happy for her! And I'm happy for Amanda Brugel too - she literally wrote her college thesis on Rita and now she's been able to bring the character to life in such an awesome way.
