ADRIEN FINKEL

Adrien Finkel’s wore this sweater when she first met Jonathan Taylor Thomas. It is an artifact that represents when her life changed. In 4th grade she lied to everyone and announced she was dating the teen heart-throb and Home Improvement star. It came out of a blend of lying to be liked and her obsession with boys, particularly famous and good looking ones. It lead her to create countless lies and disingenuous actions in order to prop-up her false relationship including silent three-way phone conversations with him and forging his signature on posters for her friends.

Blaise Miller’s 4th Grade Tombstone Epitaph

Lyssa Mandel and co-host/boyfriend Phil Casale invite guests to share and discuss creative artifacts from their adolescence.
