Hillary Clinton may not be in The West Wing, but she’s definitely got an honorary lifetime Wing membership, and the latter has free Glossier products. Last night, at the Soho location of The Wing — the luxe, millennial-pink-tinted club for women — co-founder Audrey Gelman and Call Your Girlfriend host Aminatou Sow interviewed the former presidential candidate and “newest member of our coven,” in front of an audience of 400 cheering, kvelling, sometimes teary-eyed Wing women.

Before the event started, well-dressed young women with glasses of rosé mingled to a playlist of Shania Twain, Alanis Morrissette, Janet Jackson, and Macy Gray. Various Wing VIPs wore colorful pantsuits of red and blue and saffron, a visual echo of the perfectly organized color-blocked bookshelves that framed the room.(snip)
I spoke to founding member Payton Turner, an artist and the co-owner of Flat Vernacular, who designed the Wing’s custom wallpaper in collaboration with illustrator Joana Avillez. “Hillary Clinton is the woman, and she’s our president,” Turner said emphatically.
Ariel Farmer, an interior designer, and Allie Lake, who works at an ad-tech start-up, met through a mutual friend — but, they said, The Wing is what made them close. “I love Hillary Clinton!” Lake exclaimed, when I asked her what brought them here. “Even just aside from politics, just everything she’s done; she’s been like a spearhead in a male-dominated political climate,” Farmer added.
“I would listen to Hillary talk about literally anything,” Lake continued. “I hope it is a pretty well-rounded conversation, more than just politics. I hope we get to know, like, what her morning routine is.”
Clinton, however, remained pretty on-message throughout her hour-plus speech. She covered subjects that will be familiar to anyone who has read her book What Happened,

“Call Your Girlfriend host Aminatou Sow”
I’m certain she wasn’t the only sow there.
Timing on that is just creepy
Kvelling?!
"Call Your Girlfriend" host Aminatou Sow.
No Indigo Girls? Melissa Etheridge?
How does anyone so stupid manage to get through the day?
“.... I hope we get to know, like, what her morning routine is.”
Sweetheart, I bet it’s not pretty. It’s one of those things that are best left unknown.
Is Animated Sow something on Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel?
Just got done exploring more than I will never need to know about Vanuatu.
By far, of the two, the more interesting alternate universe...
Movin' right along...
I got in a lot of trouble because of Vanuatu.
When he was real young, say 6 or 7, one of my sons used the business phone in my home office without my knowledge to call some “sports information hotline” he had seen on TV. It turned out it was routed through Vanuatu, and he ran up a long distance phone bill of hundred of dollars. There’s some scam where they connect you to a fly-by-night phone company that charges you outrageous rates for the long-distance call.
I knew nothing about it until I got a very irate telephone call from my employer, wanting to know why I had made an unauthorized frivolous personal call to Vanuatu in violation of company policy.
At that point, I didn’t even know what “Vanuatu” was and I was just fumbling on the phone and couldn’t give any explanation (I figured it out later). I almost got fired over that. And I of course had to reimburse them for the call.
