Happy New Year, glamour girls! 2023 is going to be the first good year ever, and we are ushering it in with a podcast episode has it all. Our dear friend Richard Perez joins us to debut a game-changing new word, potentially kick off a vicious legal battle with another friend of the podcast, and cement his status as the first IT GIRL of the new millennium. Plus: What kinds of photography are gay and what kinds are straight? (The kinds are: yearbook photos, black and white gay nudes, National Geographic, and Annie Leibovitz.) And finally: Is a picture REALLY worth a thousand words? Do NOT get us started. Pelly!
