Pop Style Opinionfest: Spilled Tea on the Runway

Before we get to the usual diet of frantic fashion and desperate drag queens (see visual aids below), we spent some time talking about non-reality TV-related topics, darlings. Because if we did another all-reality podcast, we fear our brains would soften considerably. Besides, both episodes (RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars & Project Runway) this week were kind of dull.

And what were those topics, you ask? The first was all about T & Lo GOING OFF on some Vogue fashion editors who said some bitchy things about fashion bloggers. On the surface, this might all sound a little “inside baseball,” but it gets to the heart of our thinking both on the tone-deafness and insularity of the fashion world and the struggles of independent bloggers even today, even if they have millions of readers and/or move millions in merch.

Then, after all the reality TV stuff is out of the way, we have a grand old time discussing the life and career of legendary old Hollywood costume designer Orry-Kelly (see visual aids, in the form of Natalie in Gypsy, Marilyn in Some Like it Hot, and Bette in Jezebel above), spurred on by the watching of a (problematic, admittedly) documentary on the man and his work called The Women He’s Undressed, which is now available on streaming platforms.
