Thirst Aid Kit: Stern Men and Power Femmes with Nicole Cliffe
b'Buttoned Up. Taciturn. No-Nonsense. We all know the magnetism of a stern man, and how it compels thirst. Writer, benevolent internet queen and genteel bisexual lady Nicole Cliffe joined us to discuss her many thirsts, both real and fictional \\u2014 from her formative crush on Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully on The X Files to Mindhunter\\u2019s Bill Tench. We also made a stop at the door of stoic-but-filled-with-rage KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin (played by Armie Hammer) in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Last but not least, we explored the flinty charm of 1920s-but-modern Detective Inspector Jack Robinson from Miss Fisher\\u2019s Murder Mysteries. Both our drabbles are caretaking masterpieces, if we do say so ourselves.\\nYou can follow us on Twitter @ThirstAidKit. Nichole is @tnwhiskeywoman and Bim is @bimadew. Our music is by Tanya Morgan.
