This week on The It Girl Podcast, Britney Shields is joined by the moment herself — Gigi DeBussy, the first-ever crowned Real It Girl of West Hollywood. The first one ever! There’s never ever been another It Girl in West Hollywood at all! She’s funny, fearless, and flawlessly unserious in all the right ways.

We talk about Gigi’s love of rap, stand-up, and drag, and how she’s blended all three into a signature act that’s as sharp as it is chaotic. She opens up about creating the character of Gigi, what it means to perform authenticity through performance, and what it was like growing up with a dad who came out at the same time she did.

Also in this episode:

·      Britney Spears’ ex (must we even say his name?) and why we’re done giving mediocre men microphones

·      Kori King, Susan B. Collins, Plane Jane, and Mistress Isabelle Brooks catching coin without the crown

·      The reveal of the new mega Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: ZA — camp or cringe?

·      The No Kings protests spreading across the country — performative or powerful?

·      Plus: our impassioned pleas to Joanne the Scammer and Marie Antoinette, two chaotic icons who deserved better press

It’s a podcast chalked full of queens and absolutely no kings.
