5. Monastic perfumes and artworld faux-pas w Zazie Stevens
I invited my friend, artist-writer and editor zazie stevens of DAISYWORLD Cal, to talk all things nature: the itchy, the cringe, the gross, and the spooky. We do a TSA check of her cute Y-3 bedazzled pouch and spill the tea about queer ecology (still unclear on the exact definition, but it is out of fashion, so I guess I am safe), the cleansing powers of freezers, Lara Croft coded rituals, and why pretending to be a stone is not a viable option.Links:Zazie Stevens InstagramDaisyworld cal SubstackElizaveta Federmesser InstagramElizaveta Federmesser SubstackBAGMAG InstagramGet a copy of BAGMAG This is a public episode.
