		Brini still lives in the same tiny intricately apportioned New York City apartment used as the set for the original television show.

	American Prospect Online - ViewWeb
		Maxwell is a drag queen and the former hostess of a cable-access TV show in New York City.
		For Maxwell, the intersection of femininity and home economics is a form of ’50s-era revivalist performance art, a winking fairy tale where she is the court jester, the swooning princess, and the knowing queen all in one.
		Maxwell has the approachable warmth (if not the skills) of Child, bringing a neglected past into the modern home and exhorting her viewers to “add style to your life and life to your style.” She draws on Stewart-like freedoms, but, unlike Stewart, actually seems to relish them.

		It could be that Maxwell's passion for the kitsch and retro chic from 1958 to 1974 is too narrow a focus.
		Brini ever so obliquely takes the concentration out of the camp and offers the camp in a quivery, sparkling gelatin mold that is fun and easily digestible.
		With Brini, it's not her can-do attitude that sucks you in, it's her how can you do it with your own sense of style and conviction.

		TV's new "good thing": drag domestic diva Brini Maxwell swears she's not out to be the new Martha, Tell that to the devotees of her cable show
		In a typical, themed episode, Brini makes over a room, takes a field trip--her visit to and perky sprucing-up of a Manhattan public restroom further distinguished her from Stewart--and chats with guests like Helen Gurley Brown and a survivalist who "showed me how to survive with the contents of my purse, in the wild."
		Brini also dishes up numerous, ingeniously simple "Why Didn't You Think of That?" hints and tips, most of which Sander culls from vintage homemaking books.
