Welcome to the Double X Gap Fest for Thursday, August 7th, the Bleeferoplasty edition.

I'm Hannah Rosen, editor of Double X, here in the D.C. studio, and I'm joined to New York by June Thomas, editor of the Outward Blog on LBGTQ issues.

Hi, June.

Hey, Hannah. And also Noreen Malone of New YorkTQ issues. Hi, June. Hey, Hannah.

And also Noreen Malone of New York Magazine.

Hi, Noreen.

Hey, Hannah.

We are going to start with some listener response.

As always, please send us an email at double X gabfest at slate.com.

If you want to tell us anything about this show or past shows, this one is from Monique Johanon.

I'm proud to say that we got her addicted to the Kardashian game.

I'm so psyched about that.

Oh, yeah.

She plays in all her free time.

She made it to B-List celebrity and had nearly 2 million followers.

That's pretty awesome.

And she thought she should make it to the A-list, but then she made a fatal error, which is this. I never made it this far. She received a call from her manager, from Simon, that she should do a tasteful nude shoot. So what do you guys think she did? She refused. Exactly. Hell yes. She declined. And then Kim called her. And what do you think Kim said? Kim said I got famous with a sex tape. What are you thinking? No. Come on. This is like Kim of the game. Kim of the game is like your best friend. She's always looking out for you. She was like, you should do whatever you think is right. And so she declined again. Instantly, I lost half a million followers.

And while still on the B list, all the green in my star was gone.

Sadly, I think my quest for the A list will go unfulfilled.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Monique.

But if you want, you can just like email us a naked picture of yourself.
