In Episode 12 "Don't Call Me Ma'am", I take a walk to the park with 19 year old Andrea who I affectionately call "the little one".  As we respond to Afterellen.com viewer letters we talk about the fear of failure, aiming for perfection, and how MOCA is selling "straight pills". Andrea talks about her first gay role model, why she isn't dating right now and the book she wants to write called, "Everything is Stupid".Oh yes, Comet and Lucia join us too...  but guess who's on the leash...Enjoy!
