Alissa is my favorite writer. Whether it’s her cult favorite Dead is Better zines (on every bookshelf with integrity) or her seminal piece I’m a Clubber, Alissa has long been heightening the lows of pop culture history so that we don’t have to. She’s also my best friend and together we host The C Word, a podcast about women who have been called crazy for which she does a, well, crazy amount of research. It’s also crazy that I regularly get to sit in bed with my favorite writer while she does her lengthy skin care routine and we watch the best moments of Dateline and scream at the ceiling. I hope we die together in a piece of real estate worthy of us.
