Gal’s Guide Library is the place to be in March, hence why this episode is late, however, it’s a great one. Our hope for this episode is it will inspire you to create your own expressive artwork, change your name, or reinvigorate your hate for Nazis. Learn all about the gender non-conforming surrealist that is Claude Cahun! Oh and how Leah almost killed Leonard DiCaprio.
