Kate Flannery, STRIP TEES: A Memoir of Millennial Los Angeles

Debut author Kate Flannery joins Zibby to discuss Strip Tees: A Memoir of Millenial Los Angeles, a brave, racy, and devourable memoir about her time working for American Apparel as a recent college grad in the mid-2000s and toeing the line between sexual empowerment and sexual exploitation. Kate talks about the cult-y environment of the provocative, controversial company; the inappropriate behavior of its CEO; and her decision to write a book at the end of it all. She also describes her current career in reality TV and reveals the topic of her next book!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3sB9sRCShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
