Summary

What counts as media? For us, its any medium through which we express ourselves — whether from one to one, from one to many, or just from one... to one’s own self.

We can do it with our style. Our hair. Even our glasses. They're choices that express not just our aesthetics, but our politics, too.

It was the idea of Poppy King, lipstick designer extraordinaire, whose Frog Prince lipstick was listed by Elle Australia as one of the most iconic lipstick shades of all time. King's a devoted listener, so, in collaboration with the show, she designed a special lipstick. It's called Well Red and she offered a batch of them to us as a donation so that we can pass them on to you.

We are offering these very special lipsticks to you for a donation of $12 a month or $144 for a year's worth of support for this show.

Go to onthemedia.org/donate or text lipstick to 70101.

Thank you so much!

PS here's a video we made of all of us trying it on

0:55.8	on one of these lipsticks.
0:57.5	Anyway, a while back, I asked Poppy about her unified theory of lipstick.
1:06.5	My theory is that unlike other makeup, you know, mascara, blush, which conceals, corrects
1:13.8	or enhances, lipstick is very much about who you are on the inside.
1:19.3	I want your coral on the inside, but burgundy is what suits you.
1:27.1	The best way I can describe it is Meg Ryan and Scarlett Johansson.
1:31.1	If you picture both of those ladies, they have very similar coloring, but they're
