"I'M THE WORST person to interview because I've detailed what the inside of my vagina looks like. I've said everything," podcast princess Alex Cooper tells me as we sit side by side on a red velvet banquette at the clubstaurant Jean's on Lafayette Street. There's a DJ nearby, but she's refusing to let the music drown her out. "I talk loud. I fucking scream. I promise I won't spit on you. Okay? Welcome to the chaos!"
Tonight is the launch party for Cooper's "enhanced electrolyte beverage," Unwell Hydration. It's basically girlie Gatorade. Unwell is also the name of her podcast network, and it's her first branded lifestyle product (with more to come, no doubt). Just 48 hours earlier, Cooper had posted details about the event to her Instagram, inviting members of her "Daddy Gang" - hundreds of whom were waiting on a line outside in the cold while she didn't spit on me. Somewhat thoughtfully, the party had a weather-appropriate theme: "Après Ski Bunny," with Cooper dressed in orange ski goggles and knee-high furry boots that looked like they were made of polar bear. "I'm obsessed with skiing," she says.
