It's Fashion Cats & Cocktails, the podcast where Dismantle Magazine editors Sara and Elise talk about the latest fashion news, cats, and what they're drinking! In episode 2, they reflect on what it means to "look your age" -- and how that idea isn't separate from issues of race and class and other identity categories. They discuss what they find exciting about Alexandra Grant and her potential "it woman" status, and what parts of the hype are just the same old thing. Plus: They chat with Elizabeth Daley about her book Cats Rock and talk with special guest mixologist Justin Thomas (aka Chef Wanderlust) about his signature cocktails. They're crafted especially to honor three new patrons, but we think they'll be great for your next holiday gathering, too!Here's a sampling of the articles we used to frame our discussion (for the full reading guide, join our Patreon community!):If Keanu Reeves’s Date Can Embrace Looking Her Age, I Can Too by Ali Drucker for The New York TimesKeanu Reeves is dating a woman close to his own age.
