Episode description
One of our favorite ways to pass the time is playing dress-up in paper-doll style avatar-maker picrew.me and creating our best selves in an illustrated alternate universe where we have more confidence and cash. Picrew also forces us to think about the way we see ourselves, the way we want to be seen, and who we actually are. Or maybe we're just overthinking a dress up game. Also maybe Tumblr ruins everything???
