Drugs, Sex, and more Drugs

As soon as Katy Baird opened her mouth to commence her performance, her robe opened with it. Baird really didn't hold back and as a result was intimately open about her body, her insane drug use, her depression, and her sexuality. Although the show was still in development and was a bit all over the place, I found each shared experience and memory independently interesting of one another. I especially liked her insights into the struggle of living up to female conventions of beauty. It seemed that when she dressed like a man her self-esteem wasn't as fragile in regards to her looks, but as soon as she made the switch back to dresses and heels she had to carry all the shit that comes with it. All in all, I learned a lot about the inescapable rabbit hole that drug use can be and felt a lot better about my odds of never doing hard drugs after watching Baird's painfully honest testimony.
