Inside rabbitwhite's raucous book launch party, by yoloethics

I’ve never seen her otherwise, online or off. Tonight her brunette hair is blown out, curled, and piled on top of her head, held up by two rhinestone clips that spell out “ANGEL DUST.

The pit is filled with Hansa-brand stuffed animals. “They specialize in lifelike animals. We have a chicken, turtle, swan, octopus,” Rabbit White explains. She’s throwing them around. “We started twerking on them … I think for the three-day lesbian Thanksgiving I threw.” A friend chimes in, “That chicken started a five-person orgy.
