That means telling you about the embarrassing accident that happened while quarantining with my boyfriend, the ways Black Lives Matter and performative allyship have taken center stage, my mom begrudgingly leaving her house so she could meet Michelle Obama, my decision to not have kids, and everything I\'ve learned from running multiple companies (Pro tip: Always have a wig on standby for impromptu Zoom meetings).

By turns insightful, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartfelt, Please Don\'t Sit On My Bed In Your Outside Clothes is not only a brilliant look at our current cultural moment, but a collection that will stay with you for years to come.

Written in Phoebe\'s unforgettable voice and with her unparalleled wit, Robinson\'s latest collection, laced with spot-on pop culture references, takes on a wide range of topics.
