On this week’s Gabfest, DoubleX founding editor Hanna Rosin joins Outward editor June Thomas and New York editor Noreen Malone to talk about the art of decluttering, the new generation of Hillary Clinton haters, and what drag queens have in common with blackface.
Other items discussed in the show:
- The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
- New York magazine on Marie Kondo, the declutter guru
- Hanna in the Atlantic on the new generation of Hillary haters
- Miz Cracker in Slate on whether drag is as bad as blackface
DoubleX recommendations:
Hanna recommends this photo essay by Czech photographer Dita Pepe, “100 Different Husbands.” Also, World of Interiors, a British design magazine that promotes marvelous clutter.
Noreen ironically recommends Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie, and unironically recommends The Sportswriter by Richard Ford.
June is into NBC’s Marry Me.
