ILL REPUTE! with Sovereign Syre & Ela Darling Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling

His transition required thirteen operations and took place over four years, with no one the wiser. Dillon went on to be a surgeon himself, and traveled the world with various naval vessels for six years, living life as a man, with no one suspecting his origins. 
He was ultimately outed because of his nobility.  There are peerage records that are made of everyone's descendancy and changing one’s names in those had been impossible and eventually someone noticed the discrepancy. 
After living as Michael Dillon for fifteen years, he was onboard a ship when he got a cable from England. It was from The Daily Express as said “Do you intend to claim the title since your change-over?”

Today, we are taking on our first man. Because sometimes men do important stuff for women. Like creating the field of plastic surgery. He’s a saint that changed the lives of thousands of wounded soldiers during WWI and pioneered many of the cosmetic procedures that are used today…primarily on women. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Harold Gillies

“Prozac Nation is a young person’s book, both in terms of its author and its target audience…What seemed most important to me about Wurtzel’s writing was that she had been messy, and she was willing to detail that mess without apology…It was a radical departure from how I’d seen women write about themselves…Whether we like it or not, Prozac Nation really did change the landscape when it comes to the way women write about themselves. It laid the groundwork for the what Jia Tolentino called the “personal-essay boom” of the early 2010s, an era when no detail was too graphic, no humiliation too private for sharing.”
 
It’s important to understand what was going on in the culture at this time. Prozac had just become popular, and record numbers of people were being diagnosed with depression. The chart topping artists were Depeche Mode, Nirvana, and Nine Inch Nails, bands whose messages were those of apathy and wallowing in despair, and a few months before Prozac Nation was published, Kurt Cobain committed suicide. There was a problem, but people were also wary of how we were treating it.

This week Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling profile writer and icon, Elizabeth Wurtzel. A beautiful, young, Harvard graduate whose memoir Prozac Nation got her on the New York Times Bestseller List and made her an overnight celebrity. She also suffered from major depression and was one of the first people to be prescribed the drug Prozac.  She was both a media darling, and roundly mocked by others, for what was precieved as a kind of narcissism endemic of a news generation, a cohort labeled Gen X.

Roselyn “Rosie” Keo was the daughter of Cambodian refugees. When she was younger, her parents got caught up in gambling and nightlife, taking off for Atlantic City, leaving Rosie and her siblings to be raised by their elderly grandparents. She was a wild child, getting in fights, having bad boyfriends, typical teenage rebel stuff. She was growing up Rockland County, and by the age of 17, she dropped out of school and got a job working at New York City Diner to help with expenses at home. There was a gentleman’s club nearby called, Lace, and the dancers would often come into the diner after their shifts. One night a manager at Lace tipped her $20 bucks on a $20 dollar ticket and told her she should hit up the club if she was interested in making “real money.” Soon after she went to the club, lied about her age, and started working the pole.  What followed became the basis for the hit film Hustlers starring Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo and Cardi B.

It's the end of Season Two! We did it! This week we conclude our series on Ada Lovelace. 
In September 1843, Ada Lovelace published her paper on the Analytical Engine in Scientific Memoirs under the title "Sketch of the Analytical Engine, with Notes from the Translator.". Ada was 27 years old, an aristocratic, married mother of three children at the time. Her final published paper included seven important Notes labeled A-G that contained her observations, her assertions, and, it turns out, her legacy...she also cooked up a scheme to use her mathmatical skills to run a gambling operation to fund the building of said engine. Depsite her mother's efforts, Ada Lovelace would turn out to be just as corruptable as her notorious father, Lord Byron.
