In this week’s episode of The Feelings Lab, we discuss the emotion of desire. Join our returning hosts Dr. Alan Cowen, Danielle Krettek-Cobb, Dr. Dacher Keltner and Matt Forte with special guest Monét XChange, the entertainment spitfire and first double crown winner from “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” having earned the title Miss Congeniality on Season 10 and become the first queen of color inducted into the Hall of Fame after winning All-Stars 4.
From Georgia O’Keeffe’s sensual flower paintings, to Apple’s iMac “yum” ads and the infamous Carl’s Jr. Paris Hilton burger campaign, we discuss the vast spectrum of desire, the inherent politics and mysticism embedded in the emotion, its evolution, and its impact on culture.
