Venus in Furs, The Baffler no. 27 release party, with Lucy Ellmann, Ann Friedman, and Eugenia Williamson, moderated by Anna Holmes.
A trio of contributors to The Baffler’s first-ever fashion issue, Lucy Ellmann (“Three Strikes”), Ann Friedman (“Idle Threads”), and Eugenia Williamson (“The Revolution Will Probably Wear Mom Jeans”) will be on hand this evening to discuss the grosser points of dress and deportment in America’s crumbling empire—and a possible way out through a reign of female supremacy. The discussion will be moderated by Anna Holmes. Join them and the rest of The Baffler crew to hash it out. By all means, come as you are (unless you are Normcore).
