Let's Get Kibbe With It

The girlies get to the bottom of an age-old question: what type of woman are you? Normal or ugly? Through an exploration of aesthetic categorization trends, they interrogate the history of categorizing our bodies, choosing our colors, and finding new ways to hate ourselves. They also discuss their on-the-ground experiences at a color analysis studio and Kibbe typing themselves at home. Digressions include a dismal recap of The Debate That Makes You Old and decoding some listener’s dreams. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza Mclamb and edited by Allison Hagan.
