8. Paris Hilton's My New BFF: queer friendship

Published: Oct. 17, 2020, 2 a.m.

Joe and Meg and their best fwend join forces for Episode 8!! With extra-special guest Jayson Probin, we fly back in time to 2008 to play a reality gameshow like no other. The prize? Paris Hilton herself (the hun, the only).  Paris Hilton’s BFF is a rollercoaster ride through noughties celebrity culture, with side fringes, Blackberries and paparazzi to spare. As our 18 contestants fight for their place in Paris’ spotlight, we’re fascinated by the power she holds over them - and how she constructed it in the wake of her early rise to fame. We explore how devotion, coercion, and love of all kinds can play a role in platonic relationships, and get all mushy with each other about the joys of queer friendship. Desperate Debbies? We’re down for it like four flats on a Cadillac, betch. Could you survive a night out with P-Hiltz? Was the noughties a “cultural wasteland”? Have you watched This Is Paris by Paris Hilton on Youtube yet (watch it watch it now)??? It’s all in Episode 8 of Love To See It! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovetoseeit/message
