The Medicinal Properties of Queer Fanaticism ft. Kevin (@kjeezy87)
The queer experience and nerd culture often go hand in hand because they both uplift and celebrate many of the same qualities through similar methods, such as collections, conventions and cosplay. Kevin, a charming, certified queer nerd, who enjoys musical theater and the occasional relinquishment of his clothing, has been a fixture in both communities for years. With his enthusiastic expertise, we attempt to answer the question of whether these comparisons are merely a matter of optics or something much, much deeper. Join the conversation as we discuss barely-there cosplay, anatomically correct advent calendars, the anticipated end of ugly underwear and more!Follow Kevin on Instagram and TikTokWatch a video version of Kevin's episode by clicking here.Send Buychiatry a Text MessageTheme music: Sunshine by Karl CaseyFollow Buychiatry on Patreon, Youtube & TikTok Click Here to see a list of Buychiatry prescribed medication!Also hosted by Damien DysaniaWhatever The Hell "This" IsCuriosity, existentialism and chaos come together in this unserious attempt to make sense of life and other enigmas.

The Medicinal Properties of Bratz Dolls ft. Dom (@lookinbratz)
The world is divided into two types of people: Bratz girls or Barbie girls, and Dom falls firmly into the former category. This Bratz archivist, historian, preacher and devotee began his journey in the early 2000s as the girls with a passion for fashion provided him with a sense of belonging and escapism during a challenging period of transition. Fast forward twenty-something years and he has cultivated this affection into an expansive collection of dolls and memorabilia, as well as a series of thriving online platforms which celebrate the iconic toy line. Join the conversation as we discuss cold, shiny, hard plastic, manifesting holy grails, unreleased products at flea markets and much more!Follow Dom on Youtube, Instagram and TikTokVisit LookinBratz.comWatch a video version of this episode by clicking here.Send Buychiatry a Text MessageTheme music: Sunshine by Karl CaseyFollow Buychiatry on Patreon, Youtube & TikTok Click Here to see a list of Buychiatry prescribed medication!Also hosted by Damien DysaniaWhatever The Hell "This" IsCuriosity, existentialism and chaos come together in this unserious attempt to make sense of life and other enigmas.

The Medicinal Properties of Doctor Barbies ft. Mike (@barbiedoctorcollector)
Many collectors are drawn to items that reflect who they are as individuals. For some, the comparisons between themselves and what they covet are rather abstract, while for others, the parallels can be quite literal. Mike is a doctor by profession and a Barbie collector by obsession, who maintains an archive of every Doctor Barbie that has been produced, as well as varying pieces of medical Barbie ephemera. Join the conversation as we discuss beautiful egg salad sandwiches, Brooke Shields' limited line of dolls, mini-skirts and high heels as proper medical attire and more!
