- 0:28Speaker 3: Like round?
- 0:40Speaker 4: Welcome to like a vision the show where we give
- 0:42Speaker 4: yesterday's pop culture today's takes. I'm Rose DomU and I'm
- 0:46Speaker 4: Fran Toronto. And Fran, you are serving Carlina lagerfeldt and
- 0:51Speaker 4: I'm serving the fat person in sweatpants she wants dead.
- 0:57Speaker 4: And you know what, I love that about us.
- 1:00Speaker 3: We the virgins have to know that that is a
- 1:02Speaker 3: joke at the expense of Carl Lagerfeld. And we will
- 1:05Speaker 3: continue to make those because.
- 1:07Speaker 4: I hope he's rotting and.
- 1:09Speaker 2: I hope he's rotting in now. That's the thing.
- 1:11Speaker 3: That's the thing about this met gala and and what
- 1:14Speaker 3: we're gonna, you know, chit chat quickly about is that,
- 1:16Speaker 3: Like I feel like, overwhelmingly, at least on our timelines,
- 1:20Speaker 3: maybe not everyone else's timelines, the discourse was around like
- 1:24Speaker 3: Carl Lagerfeld being like a fat, phobic, racist, like mean person,
- 1:29Speaker 3: and I was like, Diva, that's everybody at the top
- 1:34Speaker 3: of every industry, running every industry, Like that's what this
- 1:38Speaker 3: all runs on.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Like, Wow, I am loving this from you because you
- 1:43Speaker 4: are usually I'm giving you will you are you are?
- 1:46Speaker 4: You are me today you're cosplaying. Not only is Karlina
- 1:49Speaker 4: lagerfel roseam you. I love that you are anti discourse
- 1:54Speaker 4: today because yeah, I agree. It's like saying someone in
- 1:58Speaker 4: the fashion industry bucks is like maybe the most boring
- 2:04Speaker 4: thing you can say.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of is.
- 2:07Speaker 3: I think throughout that while we were watching last night,
- 2:10Speaker 3: I think I I was at times frustrated about how
- 2:15Speaker 3: the people that I was seeing talk about Carl are
- 2:17Speaker 3: people that like aren't in fashion. Sorry, Like and if
- 2:21Speaker 3: you don't know anything about fashion and you don't know
- 2:24Speaker 3: Carl's influence on fashion, like you don't really know how
- 2:26Speaker 3: to talk about it, Like you might as well like
- 2:29Speaker 3: be complaining about how like Michael Jackson ruined pop music
- 2:33Speaker 3: or what it's like. It doesn't matter if like you
- 2:35Speaker 3: don't like Michael Jackson, Like yes, like Michael Jackson is
- 2:38Speaker 3: a pedophile, but he also invented pop music.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Allegedly, Yeah is that alleged?
- 2:44Speaker 4: Still it's still alleged.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Oh that's news to me.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Anyway, we're talking about how stupid it is to do
- 2:51Speaker 4: discourse about carlography here we are kind of engaging in it,
- 2:55Speaker 4: but I'm really I'm really struck by. I got my
- 2:57Speaker 4: eyebrows wax yesterday and they're slaying a little bit. They
- 3:02Speaker 4: look really good.
- 3:03Speaker 3: And you know what else looks really good today, Rose,
- 3:05Speaker 3: Something that you know the virgins at home can't see,
- 3:09Speaker 3: but maybe they'll see on our social or something. Is
- 3:12Speaker 3: this gor Jean and Boilin inspired necklace A la ugly
- 3:19Speaker 3: Betty that a one rosedami.
- 3:21Speaker 2: You did buy me for my birthday.
- 3:22Speaker 3: And it's not a competition buying presents for birthdays, but
- 3:26Speaker 3: if it was, Rose Domio did win.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Let's just say that it is the first Tuesday in May,
- 3:32Speaker 4: and as you were listening to this episode, it is
- 3:35Speaker 4: the first Thursday in May. So I'm sure you were
- 3:38Speaker 4: all very sick and tired of Met Gala coverage and opinions,
- 3:42Speaker 4: but you're going to hear a little bit of ours,
- 3:46Speaker 4: and we will try to keep it light and fun
- 3:48Speaker 4: and fancy free. We did gather to watch the Red
- 3:52Speaker 4: Carpet last night. It was a lot longer than I.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Expected it to be, also way more fun than I thought,
- 3:58Speaker 3: Like you know, like I think you and I had
- 3:59Speaker 3: really expectations, Like, you know, we were just like, oh,
- 4:02Speaker 3: you know, we'll like order something like I had fun.
- 4:06Speaker 4: I had a good time. I mean it was exactly
- 4:08Speaker 4: what I expected, which was you Laurel and I sitting
- 4:10Speaker 4: on my couch just on Twitter, in my same space. Yeah.
- 4:14Speaker 4: But as far as the actual carpet and fashion, look, listen, listen,
- 4:19Speaker 4: I want to give a disclaimer. I'm not a fashion girlie.
- 4:22Speaker 4: I consider myself somewhat fashion adjacent. I like to consume,
- 4:27Speaker 4: I like, you know, like shoes whatever. I'm like literally
- 4:32Speaker 4: sitting here wearing a gross hoodie that hasn't been washed
- 4:37Speaker 4: in maybe a full calendar year. But you know, I
- 4:41Speaker 4: still have my opinions, and I think generally this was
- 4:45Speaker 4: an underwhelming Megala fashion wise, but I think a lot
- 4:48Speaker 4: of that is due to the theme. And just like
- 4:51Speaker 4: as I was saying to Phoebe before you got on here,
- 4:53Speaker 4: like I'm not even really that excited about seeing this
- 4:56Speaker 4: met exhibit because I just think out of the whole world,
- 5:00Speaker 4: car Lagerfeld, from my uneducated point of view, is just
- 5:04Speaker 4: very boring and like not the type of design that
- 5:07Speaker 4: I am drawn to, and that was very much reflected
- 5:10Speaker 4: on the Red Carpet last night, with a few exceptions.
- 5:14Speaker 3: M yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm I'm also I don't
- 5:18Speaker 3: consider myself a fashion girly. I like to think myself
- 5:21Speaker 3: as a style girly. And I think that styling good distinction. Yes,
- 5:27Speaker 3: And I think that styling is usually what wins the Metgala.
- 5:32Speaker 3: I think that how you pull an outfit together, how
- 5:34Speaker 3: you accessorize, how you create the fantasy is is really
- 5:38Speaker 3: how you win instead of like recreating a runway look
- 5:42Speaker 3: or just wearing something that's lowed for the sake of it.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I think that I don't know, so I've also I've
- 5:48Speaker 2: been seeing a lot.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Of people be like this is like such a you know,
- 5:51Speaker 3: this like Met Gala theme like sucks or whatever, and
- 5:54Speaker 3: like every year someone's gonna say, like the Megala theme sucks.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I actually think unfortunately, and I've been thinking about this,
- 6:02Speaker 3: I think that this was a really good mechala and
- 6:05Speaker 3: I and I know I'm thinking about years. I thought
- 6:08Speaker 3: that Camp Mechcala was amazing. I know, every there were
- 6:13Speaker 3: so many people that were like rotted, horrible whatever, but
- 6:16Speaker 3: like I have so much fun watching people have fun
- 6:19Speaker 3: and go all the way out. And the thing about
- 6:21Speaker 3: a mechala theme like camp is that it's open to interpretation.
- 6:25Speaker 3: You can wear any designer you want and like cater
- 6:27Speaker 3: it to your style. And I think that that was
- 6:30Speaker 3: something that lent itself to a lot of fun on
- 6:32Speaker 3: the red carpet. And I think that's also something that's
- 6:35Speaker 3: true about Carl is that, yes, like Carl in Channel
- 6:38Speaker 3: and in his other work, like created uniforms, created things
- 6:42Speaker 3: that you know, we're black and white, created things that
- 6:44Speaker 3: were like classic, and so there's a really boring way
- 6:48Speaker 3: to do that. But I did love that because it's
- 6:51Speaker 3: such a there's such a wide way to interpret Carl
- 6:55Speaker 3: that everyone did get to kind of showcase their personality.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Like we saw like kind of the best of how
- 7:01Speaker 3: people could dress in a black and white ensemble or
- 7:05Speaker 3: in like a classic feminine silhouette that I.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Thought, you know, it was kind of fun.
- 7:09Speaker 3: And yeah, I think I dur in the in the
- 7:13Speaker 3: moment last night, I was like I was like, like,
- 7:15Speaker 3: what's like, what's cool here? What's not cool here? And
- 7:17Speaker 3: like and at the end of the day, I was like,
- 7:19Speaker 3: this is fun. Like this this I think everyone kind
- 7:21Speaker 3: of like did a really good job and to me,
- 7:24Speaker 3: not a ton of like worse dressed, but did you
- 7:26Speaker 3: have something dressed?
- 7:29Speaker 2: Should we start there?
- 7:31Speaker 4: Yeah, let's start with the bad ones. I I mean
- 7:38Speaker 4: this not like horrible, huge mega flap doo doo cock guy.
- 7:44Speaker 4: But considering how I don't always love what she wears,
- 7:48Speaker 4: but she usually does, especially for the past couple of
- 7:50Speaker 4: bat galas she has turned it out, I thought Lizzo
- 7:53Speaker 4: was disappointing. Yes, extremely boring and like also a good
- 7:59Speaker 4: instance of like. The only things that saved her were
- 8:03Speaker 4: the styling, like her hair was great. There were not
- 8:06Speaker 4: enough updues on the carpet last night, and also not
- 8:10Speaker 4: enough hats, and Carl Lagerfeldt was very much a hat person.
- 8:14Speaker 4: And the fact that like Dua Lipa wore that fucking
- 8:18Speaker 4: Chanelle bride dress and didn't wear the little balo and
- 8:21Speaker 4: hat that was worn with it on the runway, We're pointing, like,
- 8:27Speaker 4: you know, it's giving like a lane stretching company, does
- 8:30Speaker 4: nobody wear a hat or whatever the line is.
- 8:33Speaker 3: With the Dua look, Like if Dua had worn not
- 8:36Speaker 3: just the tiny hat that comes with that look, but
- 8:38Speaker 3: like six more hats stacked on top of that hat,
- 8:41Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like that's actually I think
- 8:43Speaker 3: Janelle Mona did a version of that for the Mecca
- 8:45Speaker 3: if here. But like my point is, like, you know,
- 8:47Speaker 3: take it to the next level, Like I totally agree
- 8:49Speaker 3: with that. And also like Coco, Chanelle famously wore that
- 8:52Speaker 3: like boater hat like that, like that Audrey Heppern also
- 8:56Speaker 3: wore like there were no boater hats. I also, honestly,
- 9:00Speaker 3: I mean so esoteric, but like it would have been
- 9:03Speaker 3: really cool even though this isn't Carl but it is Chanelle.
- 9:07Speaker 3: If someone had done like an interpretation on like the
- 9:10Speaker 3: Little Black Dress, you know what I mean, which like
- 9:13Speaker 3: if there's like an avant garde way to do the
- 9:15Speaker 3: little Little Black dress, Like I think that would have
- 9:17Speaker 3: been like something kind of fun and interesting. But yeah, Lizzo, Lizzo,
- 9:22Speaker 3: I think like it was like the pearls should have
- 9:25Speaker 3: been smaller, and like the way the pearls draped on
- 9:29Speaker 3: her just it didn't look well as well tailored as
- 9:32Speaker 3: it could have.
- 9:33Speaker 4: It was very it was very matronly. Yeah, matronly.
- 9:36Speaker 2: There was a lot of tailoring issues on the runway up.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Margot Robbie, one of the most beautiful women in the
- 9:43Speaker 3: like in Hollywood.
- 9:44Speaker 4: I'm like so tired with talking about it at this point,
- 9:47Speaker 4: as I as I tweeted, it's like she's allergic to surveying. Yes,
- 9:51Speaker 4: And I'm so worried about the Barbie scenario we have
- 9:56Speaker 4: coming this summer. She just like everyone is like, oh,
- 9:59Speaker 4: it's her style, so it's her, Like Chanelle Contract, I
- 10:01Speaker 4: think she just has bad taste.
- 10:03Speaker 3: I think she definitely has bad taste. You can't you can't,
- 10:06Speaker 3: you're you allow these things to put on your body
- 10:09Speaker 3: that is still a taste level. And with Margot Robbie,
- 10:12Speaker 3: like that dress was a recreation of something from like
- 10:14Speaker 3: the sixties, which is even.
- 10:16Speaker 2: More of an issue.
- 10:17Speaker 3: And and and also Emma Chamberlain in that like, I
- 10:21Speaker 3: still don't know who.
- 10:22Speaker 4: Emma Chamberlain is. I don't know who. It doesn't right,
- 10:24Speaker 4: you don't need to, you know. I mean I thought Emma.
- 10:26Speaker 4: I thought Emma Chamberlain was fine. It was she was
- 10:28Speaker 4: wearing Mumeu and it was a very mu Meu look it.
- 10:33Speaker 4: I don't think she needed to do an outfit change.
- 10:36Speaker 4: But whatever I thought, Lolana's ex was a let down.
- 10:40Speaker 4: It was just not a good execution of trying to
- 10:44Speaker 4: do a shoe pette look. It just like it didn't
- 10:48Speaker 4: read for me, and it just was like confusing and
- 10:52Speaker 4: it was actually it was kind of an annoying look. Honestly, Yeah, okay,
- 10:58Speaker 4: it was obnoxious. So if you saw the other photos
- 11:00Speaker 4: of lil Na's wearing like this fit, he had like
- 11:04Speaker 4: a huge white fur coat on top of it. And
- 11:06Speaker 4: I think on the styling level, that actually would have
- 11:10Speaker 4: like brought the look closer to like where it needed
- 11:13Speaker 4: to be, like on the level that it needed to be.
- 11:16Speaker 4: But I think that he took the coat off after
- 11:19Speaker 4: like Doja Cat beat him to the red carpet because
- 11:22Speaker 4: they didn't want to have like these kind of like
- 11:24Speaker 4: same same like cat looks or whatever. And or maybe
- 11:28Speaker 4: he wasn't wearing fur well, maybe did Jared leto get
- 11:31Speaker 4: there first, like something happened. Maybe he was just hot.
- 11:34Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe I think he just wanted to
- 11:36Speaker 4: like walk around feeling his like silver pussy fantasy and that.
- 11:40Speaker 4: And if that's true, that's the problem because Divadal was
- 11:45Speaker 4: dressed for battle him, like she was not dressed for
- 11:48Speaker 4: the met gala, and I.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Was like, if you if you look like you know
- 11:56Speaker 3: a fagat Pride. That's not fashion. And if the only
- 11:59Speaker 3: garments you're wearing our like heels and underwear, like they
- 12:04Speaker 3: better be the best fucking heels and the best fucking
- 12:07Speaker 3: underwear I've ever seen, and like zero, the cereals were
- 12:10Speaker 3: really cute and I loved how they looked, but like,
- 12:12Speaker 3: I don't know if that was the shoe for the look,
- 12:15Speaker 3: and then the underwear didn't like contours, ass it wasn't
- 12:18Speaker 3: really special.
- 12:20Speaker 4: It's actually kind of the opposite problem is what we
- 12:22Speaker 4: were talking about before. It's like too much styling and
- 12:25Speaker 4: yeah enough look, yes, too much Like this is a
- 12:27Speaker 4: fashion event, you should be I think, wearing a garment.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Yeah, you should be wearing a garment.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Or to honor a designer or designed things. Yeah, yeah whatever.
- 12:40Speaker 3: I don't need to like dwell on the little nose
- 12:42Speaker 3: of it all.
- 12:42Speaker 4: But let's talk about what we liked.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Let's yeah, vibes, posy vibes.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Okay, my number one, well, actually I think tied for
- 12:52Speaker 4: number one of the night, and on very different ends
- 12:54Speaker 4: of the spectrum were MICHAELA. Cole and Sciparelli like that
- 13:00Speaker 4: like insane gold beaded dress to the foot, the like
- 13:05Speaker 4: perfectly molded foot shoes incredible. And then on the other
- 13:08Speaker 4: side of things and halfway mother mother Sleigh in in
- 13:13Speaker 4: custom Versace like tweed Versace, like really like Versace doing
- 13:19Speaker 4: Chanel in such an incredible way, and like Anne on
- 13:23Speaker 4: the like on the total flip side from Margot Robie,
- 13:26Speaker 4: like Anne has Eileen coming out of the end of
- 13:29Speaker 4: this year and she has been slowly ramping up her
- 13:33Speaker 4: fashion SNAr fantasy and like it can only get better
- 13:39Speaker 4: from here.
- 13:40Speaker 2: I Mikhaela Cole.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Her fit was like a perfect example of like how
- 13:44Speaker 3: you can interpret Carl anyway you want, and like the
- 13:47Speaker 3: ornate like kind of details of her dress with like
- 13:50Speaker 3: the little lipsticks and the little homages to Carl. It's
- 13:53Speaker 3: like the look looks nothing like Carl, but like if
- 13:56Speaker 3: you zoom in, it's Carl, you know what I mean,
- 13:58Speaker 3: Like that's.
- 13:59Speaker 2: How you do it.
- 13:59Speaker 3: It was so smart and I just Skiparelli's like one
- 14:03Speaker 3: of my favorite you know designers to like behold and
- 14:06Speaker 3: look at you know, so how could it be bad?
- 14:10Speaker 3: But like Anne, does she have like a new stylist
- 14:13Speaker 3: or something everything in the last she doesn't.
- 14:15Speaker 4: She doesn't have a new stylist, but she did do.
- 14:18Speaker 4: I think a Hollywood Reporter story with her stylist somewhat
- 14:20Speaker 4: recently in which they said that they basically just decided
- 14:26Speaker 4: to do this new era and just like ramp everything
- 14:29Speaker 4: up to another level, and that she's like having the
- 14:31Speaker 4: most fun she's ever had dressing and it really shows
- 14:35Speaker 4: and all of the work she's been doing, specifically with Versace,
- 14:39Speaker 4: which she is a face of. She's servant cunt and
- 14:42Speaker 4: that's just it is what it is. Who were your
- 14:47Speaker 4: favorites of the night?
- 14:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and definitely was at the top of my list
- 14:52Speaker 3: in terms of like, oh like unexpected, perfectly executed, stunning,
- 14:59Speaker 3: gorg my favorites of the night. I think we're just
- 15:02Speaker 3: everybody's favorites. I uh, you know, best dressed is always Rihanna.
- 15:06Speaker 4: Even this year, you thought.
- 15:07Speaker 3: One hundred and ten percent. I thought she was gonna
- 15:09Speaker 3: skip the carpet, which she kind of did. She skipped
- 15:12Speaker 3: the broadcast. She did the same thing last year, right exactly.
- 15:15Speaker 3: I thought that because she wasn't gonna do it, I
- 15:17Speaker 3: was like, oh, maybe she's like not pulling a stunt
- 15:20Speaker 3: as much, and like last year, I felt like her
- 15:22Speaker 3: carpet was fine. This year, I when her look was revealed, Rose,
- 15:27Speaker 3: I was in my apartment like laugh like I had
- 15:30Speaker 3: this like grin on my face. I was like laughing
- 15:33Speaker 3: like crazy, like I thought it was fashion genius, like
- 15:37Speaker 3: at its finest. And I know it's such an uninteresting
- 15:40Speaker 3: and like uh shallow take to be like Rihanna won
- 15:43Speaker 3: the mat Gala, but like I do think that this
- 15:46Speaker 3: looks specifically is emblematic of like what is her genius
- 15:50Speaker 3: in this fashion world? At a pay homage with Karl
- 15:53Speaker 3: with these white flowers in a way that was like
- 15:56Speaker 3: better than how Bunny did it, even though like bad
- 15:58Speaker 3: Bunny was so good like and also.
- 16:02Speaker 4: Oh his slutty sluttyosed back. It was for me.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Rihanna with the sunglasses that with the Chanelle eyelashes on
- 16:14Speaker 3: the sunglasses, like that was it for me. I was like,
- 16:16Speaker 3: it was so great to stop styled like so perfectly executed.
- 16:22Speaker 2: I loved.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Obviously, Cardi's always best dressed, like that's obvious for me.
- 16:29Speaker 3: I have some sleeper hits, which I guess I'll get into,
- 16:31Speaker 3: But like, what were some of your other favorites? Nicole,
- 16:34Speaker 3: of course, wearing her two thousand and four Chanelle perfume
- 16:39Speaker 3: ad dress. I also really liked Jenna Ortega in Tom Brown.
- 16:45Speaker 4: I thought she looked beautiful. I love a saddle shoe
- 16:49Speaker 4: and she was wearing like a heeled Oxford saddle shoe.
- 16:53Speaker 4: Thought she looked great. Gigi Hadid, who I have like recently,
- 16:59Speaker 4: like started to after watching her host Next in Fashion,
- 17:03Speaker 4: and then Doja cat Her and Michaela would be my
- 17:08Speaker 4: top three of the night because Doja, it like is
- 17:12Speaker 4: in a way a very simple look and it it
- 17:16Speaker 4: is on theme and it's like gaggy without being overwhelmingly
- 17:20Speaker 4: cost to me, like the cat prosthetics are still fashion,
- 17:25Speaker 4: which I think.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Is exactly and I felt like it.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I thought Rihanna and Doja did something of the same
- 17:33Speaker 3: thing where they took a kind of over the topness
- 17:36Speaker 3: and then also elevated it with like an understatement, you
- 17:40Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like I felt like it was
- 17:41Speaker 3: perfectly balanced, perfectly accessorized. Yeah, I mean, bad Bunny, I thought,
- 17:47Speaker 3: was I know, so you said something very astute yesterday,
- 17:50Speaker 3: which is that you know, men don't enter the list
- 17:52Speaker 3: because men are just in a different category that don't
- 17:54Speaker 3: need to be evaluated or should be evaluated.
- 17:57Speaker 2: It's a different scale.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't include scale that Bunny really was like
- 18:01Speaker 3: one of the best stressed for me, at least in
- 18:04Speaker 3: the mentory department, if not like kind of in like
- 18:06Speaker 3: my top list of like things that I remember just
- 18:09Speaker 3: because the exposed back was so smart.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Jakamu was so smart.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Pedro Pascal looked amazing, I thought, like with the other
- 18:18Speaker 3: guys that did well, I thought Brian Tyree Henry, And
- 18:21Speaker 3: I also thought Diddy was like so classically Diddy. I
- 18:24Speaker 3: feel so grateful for like things that he brings to fashion.
- 18:27Speaker 4: Okay, let's move.

- 18:55Speaker 4: No, I mean that's that's the thing is people have
- 18:57Speaker 4: talked about how for the last couple of years she
- 18:59Speaker 4: was another one of those girls who was seemingly locked
- 19:03Speaker 4: into this sort of fausty bargain with Chanelle and was
- 19:07Speaker 4: always wearing these weirdly feminine, ugly ass Chanel looks on
- 19:14Speaker 4: red carpets and I love that for this, you know,
- 19:18Speaker 4: Cara Lagerfeld carpet, she came out in a men's wear
- 19:21Speaker 4: look like, looking like her strap weighed twenty pounds.
- 19:25Speaker 2: It was so good. Okay sorry.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Also asap, Rocky's men's wear look was really cool with
- 19:31Speaker 3: the belts and the scar. I just what I liked
- 19:34Speaker 3: about Aceop was just him standing on the side looking
- 19:36Speaker 3: at Rihanna like like you are God. He is such
- 19:40Speaker 3: a fucking wife guy. I love oh one hundred percent
- 19:45Speaker 3: sleeper Hits, Sleeper Hits. I thought, like Glenn Clotes so beautiful.

- 20:05Speaker 4: tweet another Tom Brown. I mean, the Tom Brown girlies
- 20:09Speaker 4: really do slay kind of the most every year.
- 20:13Speaker 3: I have yet to see the write up that that
- 20:15Speaker 3: was like it was Tom Brown's night because it was
- 20:18Speaker 3: his Antilia dressed so many fucking people, and you know
- 20:22Speaker 3: that's probably because he's married to the director of the
- 20:26Speaker 3: costume exhibit and also like famously does black and white.
- 20:29Speaker 3: But like he should do Chanelle, Like there should be
- 20:34Speaker 3: a Tom Brown Chanel collab, moment collections something like, I mean,
- 20:40Speaker 3: maybe Tom Brown is actually too distinct for that, but like,
- 20:42Speaker 3: I yeah, I thought that his looks were like winning
- 20:46Speaker 3: all night long. I gener Ortega honestly in the Tom
- 20:49Speaker 3: Brown Like that's again, it's like perfect, a perfect marriage
- 20:53Speaker 3: of who Karl is and then who the celebrity is,
- 20:55Speaker 3: right Lea Michelle Sleeper.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Hit Barber Strides end.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Realness a hundred percent of Barber reference Erica but two
- 21:05Speaker 3: kind of a serve. I thought she looked so cool
- 21:09Speaker 3: with a little like white curtainy thing.
- 21:11Speaker 4: I know, it was kind of when she was doing
- 21:13Speaker 4: her interview, it made it look like she had a mustache.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like her mustache was like flopping, yeah,
- 21:19Speaker 3: flopping around. If Florence Pew is going to debut a
- 21:24Speaker 3: buzz cut, which is hot behavior, why would you wear
- 21:28Speaker 3: like an ugly like headdress on top of the buzz
- 21:32Speaker 3: cut to cover up the bus.
- 21:33Speaker 4: She's another one who has really bad taste.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Really, oh, I don't follow, I'm not at whatter Pew
- 21:39Speaker 3: Florence Pew stands called I don't know.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Pew, p puglinators, pullinators. When you told me seaking past deals,
- 21:47Speaker 4: it should also be said that when you said Florence
- 21:49Speaker 4: is debuting her buscuit, I was like, Florence Welch is
- 21:53Speaker 4: debuting her bus. Yeah, she's cutting. She's removing the thing
- 21:57Speaker 4: that she is most known, which is being an iconic
- 22:01Speaker 4: redhead and debuting a buzz cut. Yeah, Florence Pugh has
- 22:05Speaker 4: a really bad style.
- 22:07Speaker 3: I feel like again, like, if you're going to talk
- 22:10Speaker 3: about the Mecala, don't be so un fun about it.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Like this is a grotesque display of capitalism and celebrity,
- 22:19Speaker 3: and that's why we are all here for it.
- 22:21Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the it's the super Bowl of fashion.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Yes, it's the super Bowl of Fashion, which Rose and
- 22:27Speaker 3: I will one day be at.

- 22:31Speaker 4: on the sidelines. Yeah yeah, yeah, maybe not not walking
- 22:36Speaker 4: you never know. I don't know that I would want
- 22:39Speaker 4: to do that because I don't know if I can
- 22:41Speaker 4: subject myself to that. I mean, I mean I don't
- 22:44Speaker 4: want to be famous. Yeah, I don't ever want to
- 22:46Speaker 4: subject myself to that level of public scrutiny.
- 22:48Speaker 3: I do want to be famous, I know, I'm well aware. No,
- 22:53Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to be famous. I'm
- 22:55Speaker 3: like thinking about I'm like kombucha girl right now, Well,
- 22:58Speaker 3: I yeah, do I want to be famous? I don't
- 23:01Speaker 3: know if I want to be famous, But like, I
- 23:05Speaker 3: love fashion. I want to participate in fashion. I love
- 23:07Speaker 3: what MICHAELA. Cole said yesterday on the very terrible Vogue
- 23:13Speaker 3: live stream.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Girl, girl, girl, I love what MICHAELA Cole.
- 23:18Speaker 3: She was like, I'm but a tourist in this industry,
- 23:20Speaker 3: Like I'm not here to claim fashion, Like I'm just
- 23:23Speaker 3: a tourist.
- 23:24Speaker 4: And I was like, that's that's cheap. Like that's how
- 23:26Speaker 4: I feel a lot of the time. That is cheap.
- 23:28Speaker 3: But yeah, no, girl, that Vogue run that Vogue live stream,
- 23:31Speaker 3: Like we don't need to get into details, but likeab.
- 23:33Speaker 4: I need you know, it's giving super nanny. If you
- 23:37Speaker 4: all are in a crisis, I'm on my way, Like
- 23:40Speaker 4: the uh, the people hosting red carpets are not doing
- 23:45Speaker 4: it the way they should and I need to get
- 23:47Speaker 4: back out there.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you know, you know who should have
- 23:50Speaker 3: been on the red carpet aside from us? Obviously you
- 23:54Speaker 3: did tweet that the the resident Evil mom should have
- 23:57Speaker 3: should have been walking.
- 23:58Speaker 4: No, the Evil Dead mom.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Oh right, Evil Dead, Resident Evil? Are those different entities
- 24:03Speaker 3: or are they they are different?
- 24:04Speaker 4: Yes? Okay, well you know I was close. You were close.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Okay, what's the difference between the two?
- 24:09Speaker 4: For the virgins? And then you can Resident Evil is,
- 24:11Speaker 4: I believe, a video game series that has been adapted
- 24:15Speaker 4: into a movie series, and then Evil Dead is a
- 24:19Speaker 4: movie franchise about not like zombies, but possession movies. And
- 24:25Speaker 4: I did, in fact, I did, in fact see the
- 24:27Speaker 4: new Evil Dead film, Evil Dead Rise, on Friday, and
- 24:32Speaker 4: I did love it. It was so fun. I was
- 24:36Speaker 4: kind of having a bad day on Friday and needed
- 24:38Speaker 4: to get out of my head and just like be
- 24:43Speaker 4: scared and be no thoughts, had empty, just vibes, just
- 24:47Speaker 4: spooky vibes, and the movie delivered exactly that. It's I mean,
- 24:52Speaker 4: if anyone doesn't know about what Evil Dead is, it's
- 24:54Speaker 4: this film franchise where there's this book called the Book
- 24:58Speaker 4: of the Dead and people read it and then they
- 25:00Speaker 4: get possessed by these like demonic entities who just want
- 25:04Speaker 4: to create absolute chaos and like rip their bodies apart
- 25:10Speaker 4: and the bodies of the people around them. And in
- 25:14Speaker 4: this new film, the person that that happens to is
- 25:17Speaker 4: a single mother living with her three children in an
- 25:21Speaker 4: apartment building Los Angeles, and her sister comes to stay
- 25:24Speaker 4: with them and her son, who's played by a transactor.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Love to see that there's like a lot of trans
- 25:31Speaker 4: representation in horror these days, which is great, and that
- 25:34Speaker 4: mean horror is usually the place where we get representation first.
- 25:39Speaker 4: That's like long been like a staple of the genre.
- 25:43Speaker 4: And he like finds this book after an earthquake and
- 25:46Speaker 4: then the mom becomes possessed and then starts like terrorizing
- 25:49Speaker 4: her family, and it was so fun. The actress Alyssa
- 25:54Speaker 4: Sutherland I believe, who plays the mom, is incredible and
- 25:58Speaker 4: I truly believe she will win an Oscar someday. She
- 26:01Speaker 4: just has this like gummy face that like it just
- 26:06Speaker 4: was so perfect for being transformed into like absolute evil.
- 26:11Speaker 4: Like the way that she smiles at her children is
- 26:14Speaker 4: so menacing, and her physicality was great. I've been seeing
- 26:18Speaker 4: a lot of her videos on TikTok. She did a
- 26:20Speaker 4: lot of her own stunts, which is very cool, and
- 26:24Speaker 4: the gore is insane. There's this one scene where someone
- 26:30Speaker 4: gets their flesh scraped off with a cheese grater. And
- 26:36Speaker 4: the opening scene of the film, so every Evil Dead
- 26:38Speaker 4: movie has like a title card scene that's about something
- 26:42Speaker 4: slightly different than the main action of the movie, And
- 26:45Speaker 4: in this one, it's these people who are on vacation
- 26:48Speaker 4: by a lake and this girl gets her scalp ripped off,
- 26:53Speaker 4: and it's so good. Make it snatched, well literally snatched. Night,
- 27:00Speaker 4: I had to do something I never do, which was
- 27:02Speaker 4: fall asleep with the TV on.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I couldn't.
- 27:04Speaker 4: I was just so scared that like something was gonna
- 27:07Speaker 4: crawl out of the darkness of my apartment. Yeah, like
- 27:10Speaker 4: the soothing, comforting noise of a TV.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Someone I went on a date with said that Evil
- 27:16Speaker 3: Dead was kind of giving camp Is that.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Yes, saying the original films are much campier, And then
- 27:26Speaker 4: the series was kind of like soft rebooted in twenty
- 27:30Speaker 4: thirteen with Evil Dead twenty thirteen, and that's much more.
- 27:34Speaker 4: I haven't seen it, but I really want to. From
- 27:36Speaker 4: what I understand, it's much more like Grim and like excellent,
- 27:42Speaker 4: but not as cant be funny. I think this movie
- 27:45Speaker 4: was probably like a sweet spot in between the two.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Like one of the things that I really liked was
- 27:51Speaker 4: the actress who played the mom. I saw an interview
- 27:55Speaker 4: with her where someone was asking what she used for
- 27:58Speaker 4: inspiration for her role, and one of the things she
- 28:00Speaker 4: referenced was the Mask with Jim Carrey. That's because because
- 28:05Speaker 4: she was thinking that this demonic entity, like once it
- 28:09Speaker 4: was in a vessel, would be having so much fun
- 28:12Speaker 4: inflicting terror on people, and that really came through in
- 28:16Speaker 4: her performance, and it was even though it was like
- 28:19Speaker 4: menacing and terrifying, it was really fun to watch. So
- 28:24Speaker 4: I yeah, it is a little not not as much,
- 28:28Speaker 4: but there's a couple like silly, goofy, campy moments throughout
- 28:31Speaker 4: the film.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, honestly that that in and of itself makes
- 28:36Speaker 3: me want to watch it. I never would have considered
- 28:38Speaker 3: this movie had had you not thrown in my way.
- 28:41Speaker 3: So I think I think I may, I may get
- 28:43Speaker 3: my get my butt to an AMC if I can
- 28:45Speaker 3: find a body to watch it with.
- 28:46Speaker 4: You should you should find a fellow Stubb anista.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Yeah, fellow Stubb anista, but you are no longer sad faced.
- 28:53Speaker 4: I did. I told my my friend who I went
- 28:56Speaker 4: to the movie with, I said, I'm making dinner reservations
- 28:59Speaker 4: for us after because we saw it Alamo and I said,
- 29:02Speaker 4: There's no way I can eat dinner while watching something
- 29:05Speaker 4: that gory and like we couldn't.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Even eat the popcorn. That's how stomach journey it was.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Here's the thing, Rose, you know, we chatted a little
- 29:14Speaker 3: bit about the Mechala. If there is someone who is
- 29:18Speaker 3: like the girl that's gonna respond to every every single
- 29:22Speaker 3: component of Megala coverage, it is a one. Mikel Street,
- 29:25Speaker 3: our dear friend and former co worker, Mikel Street, is
- 29:30Speaker 3: actually like the person to get into my DM saying well, actually,
- 29:35Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like actually loves she loves
- 29:39Speaker 3: a well actually and like I did actually post something
- 29:42Speaker 3: on my story last night about the Mecala and Mikel
- 29:45Speaker 3: was like, well actually, and I'm like, come on, do
- 29:47Speaker 3: you have to be right about like everything?
- 29:49Speaker 4: And he does, and she is here today to give
- 29:53Speaker 4: us a well actually about Anna Wintour HBI C of
- 29:58Speaker 4: the met Gala and the magazine and basically the entire
- 30:02Speaker 4: fashion world. So that's going to be very exciting, and
- 30:06Speaker 4: I think we're gonna learn a lot.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Yes, and we recorded this a while ago, so you know,
- 30:11Speaker 3: no Megala coverage from my caw. But we well we
- 30:14Speaker 3: talked about all things Anna and sempergreen.
- 30:17Speaker 4: Fashion context exactly. I'm so cold, I'm so grown, I'm
- 30:40Speaker 4: so real life, I'm so show off my diamonds designed
- 30:44Speaker 4: to twinkle with light as the valley fills with darkness.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Shadows chase and run around in the morning. I cheer
- 30:51Speaker 4: for sunshine and I feel, but I don't feel enough
- 30:53Speaker 4: in the midnight hours.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I try to This is winter. That was Oh my god.
- 31:02Speaker 3: I knew exactly what because I was listening, but I
- 31:05Speaker 3: was just like, sounds like Edgar Allan Poe and she's
- 31:09Speaker 3: giving lyrics. She's giving, she's giving darkness.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Do any of those lyrics resonate you as a as
- 31:16Speaker 4: a fan of person. I don't know.
- 31:20Speaker 1: I didn't really listen. Clocked out, was like, where's you
- 31:24Speaker 1: listen to? My women are talking? Well, what hath was?
- 31:27Speaker 3: No?
- 31:28Speaker 1: I just like I I don't remember any of them.
- 31:33Speaker 4: Well, it's about being cold, being you know, like a
- 31:37Speaker 4: fashion bitch.
- 31:39Speaker 3: No I I I will say best song or maybe
- 31:42Speaker 3: top three for me.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I try not to have best Azalea songs.
- 31:48Speaker 3: You don't really do top threes, top fives in general,
- 31:50Speaker 3: I don't.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Yeah, you would need a top fifty.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Yeah, you're you're like a you're a fat girl.
- 31:56Speaker 1: I try to be so nuanced, and I'm like, well,
- 31:58Speaker 1: it depends on how we're funny.
- 32:00Speaker 5: Thing, The thing is, you don't.
- 32:02Speaker 3: You don't try to be nuanced. You have a nuancing compulsion.
- 32:05Speaker 3: You are compulsorily. Yeah, I want and therefore cannot say
- 32:09Speaker 3: any You will not You cannot say or accept any platitudes, Yeah,
- 32:13Speaker 3: any any sort of like flat statements. You will be
- 32:16Speaker 3: like now wait a second. Yeah, And that is how
- 32:18Speaker 3: we're going into this conversation, dear virsions. So every time
- 32:21Speaker 3: Rose and I say literally anything, Michael will probably be like, well, actually.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Well actually, but what happened was but no, I mean
- 32:30Speaker 1: I think that like, yeah, that kind of idea of
- 32:33Speaker 1: like being cold or even being perceived as really cold
- 32:37Speaker 1: and like you don't care about people's feelings, I think
- 32:39Speaker 1: is absolutely something that like people associate with Anna, and
- 32:44Speaker 1: also that like I with and mostly because like I
- 32:52Speaker 1: think that Anna, well like that growing up, I looked
- 32:57Speaker 1: up to specifically women like Anna Winter, Kelly Coutron, and
- 33:03Speaker 1: oh my god, there's another that I am not thinking of.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Kelly Cotrone is a mother to many. Who's Kelly Catron?
- 33:08Speaker 1: Oh my god. She's like a PR fashion icon. She
- 33:12Speaker 1: had a show called kell on Earth. Oh if you
- 33:14Speaker 1: did you watch The Hills or the OC. She was
- 33:17Speaker 1: Lauren Conrad's bossy.
- 33:19Speaker 4: She also did an iconic interview magazine issue recently talking
- 33:22Speaker 4: about all these TikTok fashion girlies who show up at
- 33:25Speaker 4: fashion week, like thinking there's somebody and she's like, no,
- 33:28Speaker 4: you're nobody, Like.
- 33:29Speaker 1: We don't care about you.
- 33:30Speaker 4: So is she?
- 33:31Speaker 5: So she is in PR. She's not like a socialite,
- 33:34Speaker 5: she's not.
- 33:34Speaker 1: She produces fashion show she used to produce like she
- 33:38Speaker 1: used to her PR firm used to be the PR
- 33:40Speaker 1: firm for London Fashion Week, like not just individual shows,
- 33:44Speaker 1: and so she's done a lot of I think she
- 33:46Speaker 1: used to have rough Rucci. She introduced a bunch of
- 33:49Speaker 1: like Spanish and like other sort of international designers to
- 33:52Speaker 1: New York Fashion Week and to the New York Qushian scene. Anyways,
- 33:56Speaker 1: she has a book called If You Have to Cry don't.
- 33:59Speaker 1: I mean, if you have to cry, go outside, Like
- 34:01Speaker 1: that was one of her mantras and wodows, and she
- 34:04Speaker 1: would always give her interns this speech that like like
- 34:08Speaker 1: I don't care about your feelings. We're here to do work.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Like I'm here to do a job, and like, if
- 34:13Speaker 1: you have to cry, go outside, I don't want to
- 34:14Speaker 1: hear it. If I tow you like. She also can't
- 34:17Speaker 1: deal with this generation because she's like, if I toe
- 34:19Speaker 1: to do something, do it, Like I just do It's
- 34:22Speaker 1: I'm not going back and forth. Yeah, and so she
- 34:25Speaker 1: was very like cut through anyways. So like the two
- 34:29Speaker 1: of them and there's somebody else that like I'm for
- 34:31Speaker 1: some reason, I can't think of who they are right now.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Kind of really taught me the three of them and
- 34:38Speaker 1: Grace Connington a little bit, but kind of shove so
- 34:42Speaker 1: good and also very different like not but I want
- 34:46Speaker 1: to read this quote from Kelly Catrone. We keep a
- 34:48Speaker 1: lot of list.
- 34:49Speaker 4: This is from I'm an interview magazine interview that she
- 34:51Speaker 4: did recently. We keep a lot of lists. But this year,
- 34:54Speaker 4: my team is really small, and she's talking about New
- 34:56Speaker 4: York Fashion Week. I'm doing everything with four or five people.
- 34:59Speaker 4: That doesn't include the people, but all of the interview requests,
- 35:02Speaker 4: pre interview requests, post interview requests, celebrities, fake celebrities, fake
- 35:06Speaker 4: ass fucking people who think their major who aren't. And
- 35:10Speaker 4: I feel now that it's my job to tighten up
- 35:12Speaker 4: the reins a little bit and say, sorry, I know
- 35:14Speaker 4: you think you're in the fashion business because you have
- 35:16Speaker 4: two million followers on TikTok, but you're not. You're a
- 35:19Speaker 4: little kid from Laguna Beach or Orlando, Florida who has
- 35:23Speaker 4: some kind of great skill with getting attention on the internet.
- 35:26Speaker 4: But that doesn't make you a fashion influencer.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's I don't even want to go into that,
- 35:31Speaker 1: but ye honestly, that's all you can talk about that
- 35:33Speaker 1: for like another hour. And so I'm wondering, is.
- 35:36Speaker 4: This like this idea of the cutthroat leave your feelings
- 35:42Speaker 4: of the door fashion diva, is that an archetype that
- 35:47Speaker 4: predates Anna.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Or with Diana or yeah? No, absolutely, I mean Diana
- 35:54Speaker 1: was no that Diana was like very eccentric.
- 35:57Speaker 5: And Diana Freeland for the versions.
- 35:59Speaker 1: And I'm sure that like there has always existed this
- 36:02Speaker 1: idea of this like woman who's like extremely ambitious and
- 36:08Speaker 1: like cutthroat and like I'm sure that pre dated and
- 36:11Speaker 1: was in fashion before Anna, but I it was. I
- 36:17Speaker 1: respected Anna growing up. I like got into like voge
- 36:21Speaker 1: at a very very young age. I mean I also
- 36:22Speaker 1: got into fashion at a very young age. You remember
- 36:24Speaker 1: how old you were. I can tell you the way
- 36:27Speaker 1: that I try to explain to people how early I
- 36:29Speaker 1: got into fashion was in the second or third grade.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I believe it was the third grade. We had to
- 36:35Speaker 1: write our first research paper, and I wrote a research
- 36:38Speaker 1: paper on Charles Frederick Worth, who was widely considered to
- 36:42Speaker 1: be like the father of couture. And like I remember obviously,
- 36:47Speaker 1: like I was in the second or I think I
- 36:49Speaker 1: was in third grade, and so I don't know anything
- 36:51Speaker 1: about like photo rights and stuff like that. But I
- 36:54Speaker 1: remember going to Google dot com and typing in his
- 36:57Speaker 1: name and then just going to Google images and like
- 36:59Speaker 1: pulling in onto like my cover letter, so I could
- 37:02Speaker 1: have these like images of dresses. Now you would be
- 37:04Speaker 1: sued over exactly Obviously I didn't know anything about it.
- 37:07Speaker 1: You did not have account but like that's how early
- 37:12Speaker 1: I became cognizant. Well that I can show that I
- 37:16Speaker 1: knew that I was interested in and that and was.
- 37:18Speaker 4: It was it like the clothes themselves or the culture
- 37:23Speaker 4: of fashion.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Well, I think that like the I think this is
- 37:25Speaker 1: for everyone with fashion. I think like you first come
- 37:27Speaker 1: to the clothes and like that's the thing, and then
- 37:30Speaker 1: like you realize like everything else. And I think so
- 37:33Speaker 1: many people from the youngest age you were interested in
- 37:36Speaker 1: the clothes, and so you might draw the closer like
- 37:38Speaker 1: where you know, try to style things which obviously are
- 37:41Speaker 1: you wear them. You try a blanket around your exactly,
- 37:44Speaker 1: and a ball all of those kinds of things. And
- 37:47Speaker 1: then I think that once you become exposed to like
- 37:50Speaker 1: learning like oh there's magazines. Oh there's this other thing.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Oh there's this, and then you start being like, oh,
- 37:55Speaker 1: actually I mentioned in the clothes, but like I don't
- 37:57Speaker 1: want to design them, like I want to do this
- 37:59Speaker 1: other thing. And I like very quickly became aware of
- 38:02Speaker 1: magazines and so like when I was in high school.
- 38:06Speaker 1: When I was in middle school, I started a blog.
- 38:08Speaker 1: But when I was in high school, I like started
- 38:10Speaker 1: like stealing magazines from the library same because we couldn't
- 38:16Speaker 1: afford them. And then like when I was able to
- 38:19Speaker 1: like some kind of way started making money. I started
- 38:21Speaker 1: getting these subscriptions, and I remember that my mother was like,
- 38:25Speaker 1: you cannot have more than eight magazine subscriptions because there's
- 38:29Speaker 1: no way for you to read. I'm tapping eight magazines
- 38:32Speaker 1: a month, and you did. But you did though, But
- 38:34Speaker 1: I mean I would read them all everything I went,
- 38:37Speaker 1: and I when I moved out to go to college,
- 38:42Speaker 1: we I had these like bookshelves that were just all
- 38:47Speaker 1: of my magazines. Like I can't justide there was so many.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Very carry Bradshaw with all the vogues that she used
- 38:55Speaker 4: to buy instead of food because she felt they fed
- 38:58Speaker 4: more very bad. I love that your fashion origin story
- 39:01Speaker 4: is also an origin story about you know, how you became,
- 39:05Speaker 4: how you fell in love with the complex world of
- 39:09Speaker 4: photo licensing. And I love that that is just you know,
- 39:13Speaker 4: because that is you know, part of your person. We
- 39:15Speaker 4: are meant to be a journal No, I don't think
- 39:18Speaker 4: you guys quite understand.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Like I ran this blog and I was like, do
- 39:23Speaker 1: you want this blog? I had I don't know, multiple.
- 39:27Speaker 4: Time.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Yes, I had multiple blogs when I was younger, and
- 39:29Speaker 1: then like I knew that I wanted to be a
- 39:31Speaker 1: fashion writer a journalist so much, and I wanted to
- 39:35Speaker 1: like review fashion shows, and so I would I was
- 39:38Speaker 1: so like directional that, like I was like, I know
- 39:41Speaker 1: this is what I want to do, so how can
- 39:42Speaker 1: I do a version of that now? So back then
- 39:46Speaker 1: I was like, I want to be like Tim Blinks.
- 39:48Speaker 1: I want to be like Kathy Horn. I want to
- 39:49Speaker 1: be I want to go to these shows and review them.
- 39:51Speaker 1: And I know that like so much of that as speed,
- 39:54Speaker 1: and so like I would tell myself like I had
- 39:57Speaker 1: like a specific amount of time after photos came out
- 40:00Speaker 1: back then style dot Com from the time Photos came
- 40:03Speaker 1: out to write a review on my blog and like
- 40:05Speaker 1: I was like, and so that is actually way you
- 40:08Speaker 1: savage in your reviews.
- 40:10Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you were like setting trash down the runway
- 40:14Speaker 3: middle school.
- 40:15Speaker 1: And I was like so dead serious about like this
- 40:18Speaker 1: is what I want to do with my life and
- 40:20Speaker 1: like this is how I get there, and so like
- 40:21Speaker 1: then it was nothing. When I like moved to New
- 40:24Speaker 1: York and I like met this person who worked at
- 40:27Speaker 1: the site at the time called now Fashion and they
- 40:30Speaker 1: do a lot of the fashion photography runway photography at
- 40:32Speaker 1: fashion shows. But at the time they were building essentially
- 40:36Speaker 1: what now so many publications do, which was they would
- 40:39Speaker 1: shoot the the the shows, but then they would I
- 40:44Speaker 1: don't know how they did this, but stream essentially stream
- 40:46Speaker 1: the shots so like you could watch photos come pop
- 40:49Speaker 1: up on your screen as they were going down the runway.
- 40:52Speaker 1: And they started to build a team of writers to
- 40:56Speaker 1: write reviews for them, and our deadline, I believe was
- 40:59Speaker 1: three hours after a show ends.
- 41:01Speaker 4: We had to have a review, and well, tund especially
- 41:05Speaker 4: for your first.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Job, and well that was It wasn't most writers, it
- 41:08Speaker 1: was not, but it was mine, and it was easy
- 41:11Speaker 1: because like I was like, oh, I haven't known this
- 41:13Speaker 1: for years. Yeah, like I wasn't at the shows, but
- 41:16Speaker 1: like I have been doing this kind of stuff. And
- 41:17Speaker 1: then this is also what made me like so like
- 41:22Speaker 1: big on like taking opinion and like sticking with it,
- 41:25Speaker 1: which is also something I learned for Ann that I learned,
- 41:27Speaker 1: you know, watching things with Anna Winter was my editor
- 41:31Speaker 1: at the time. She was like, every you were writing critiques,
- 41:34Speaker 1: you were writing criticism. So every piece you write has
- 41:37Speaker 1: to have a piece of Every review you write has
- 41:39Speaker 1: to have a piece of criticism in it. It does
- 41:41Speaker 1: not necessarily have to criticize the designer or the designs.
- 41:45Speaker 1: It can be criticism of the industry. It can be
- 41:47Speaker 1: a criticism of whatever. You don't have to say something
- 41:50Speaker 1: as bad, but there needs to be some part of
- 41:53Speaker 1: criticism in every review you write, and you need to
- 41:56Speaker 1: be able to like stand behind that and like you know,
- 41:59Speaker 1: write through it. And so that's what I did for
- 42:02Speaker 1: my first, like really my first job in New York City.
- 42:07Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's what I remember going to like that,
- 42:12Speaker 1: I got to go to crazy shows with that. I
- 42:14Speaker 1: went to a Valentino Valentino Couture show when they came
- 42:16Speaker 1: to New York City. I went to the Door show.
- 42:19Speaker 1: But my first big deal show the first time that
- 42:22Speaker 1: I was ever intimidated. Mind you, I had been writing
- 42:24Speaker 1: for her for maybe a year of shows, I think,
- 42:27Speaker 1: but the first show that was ever intimidated, I went
- 42:29Speaker 1: to a Mark Jacobs show, and I was intimidated because
- 42:32Speaker 1: I knew that, like my review was going to be
- 42:35Speaker 1: coming out with like everyone who's anyone in fashion who
- 42:39Speaker 1: was writing reviews at the time, we're going to be
- 42:41Speaker 1: We're at this show and we're going to be writing
- 42:44Speaker 1: and like my review was going to come out at
- 42:47Speaker 1: the same time or before there, and so like I
- 42:50Speaker 1: was paranoid about it was for the first time. I
- 42:52Speaker 1: was paranoid about being wrong that I would like have
- 42:55Speaker 1: about his show and like critique it and then like
- 42:59Speaker 1: everyone else's piece would be like talking about something completely different.
- 43:02Speaker 1: And so I wrote my review and I sent it
- 43:05Speaker 1: in and it was the first time this has ever happened.
- 43:07Speaker 1: I sent it in and she sent it back and
- 43:10Speaker 1: she was like, you were grouped. She was like, this
- 43:13Speaker 1: is not a review, this is a description because you
- 43:16Speaker 1: didn't you were too soft. I didn't know because I
- 43:18Speaker 1: did exactly which I just described what happened, and she
- 43:21Speaker 1: was like, we have pictures we can see. So I
- 43:27Speaker 1: had to like sit down and like she was like
- 43:30Speaker 1: and she was like, I don't know what's going on
- 43:31Speaker 1: with you, like because she had an opinion. So she
- 43:36Speaker 1: was like, I don't know what's going on, but you
- 43:37Speaker 1: have a few hours.
- 43:41Speaker 3: If Rose and I were talking to you and someone
- 43:43Speaker 3: brought up something, you know, if someone brought us something
- 43:45Speaker 3: about fashion and you didn't say something, I would be holding.
- 43:48Speaker 1: My hand to your four half be like are you okay?
- 43:51Speaker 1: Go towards the light. But yeah, so like anyways, I
- 43:56Speaker 1: say all this to say, but all of that also
- 43:59Speaker 1: was kind of instilled in me. Even like my management
- 44:01Speaker 1: style for better for worse, I feel like I got
- 44:04Speaker 1: from like watching like the September issue and watching Boss Women,
- 44:09Speaker 1: which was like this, which Anna is. Yeah, they had
- 44:13Speaker 1: an episode on her, and it was about like, don't
- 44:17Speaker 1: like mess around, don't be unsure about what you want.
- 44:20Speaker 1: You need to be extremely direct with people and tell
- 44:22Speaker 1: them exactly what you want. And they might be upset
- 44:24Speaker 1: with you, but as long as they understand what you're
- 44:26Speaker 1: going for, then like it's going to be for the
- 44:28Speaker 1: better in the end. And like if you're direct with
- 44:32Speaker 1: them and you communicate well enough, you can let them
- 44:35Speaker 1: go do what they do, Like you need to tell
- 44:37Speaker 1: them what you need. And like I think that, like
- 44:40Speaker 1: obviously I have had to learn like how to finesse that,
- 44:44Speaker 1: but I think that that has always been at the
- 44:47Speaker 1: core of like how I try to manage people, is
- 44:49Speaker 1: like I try to identify the best people in the room,
- 44:51Speaker 1: which I think Anna, you know, to her credit that
- 44:53Speaker 1: I don't think that people give her credit for being
- 44:56Speaker 1: able to like identify Grace and Andrea and hey man
- 45:00Speaker 1: and like all of those people and people like Anna's
- 45:02Speaker 1: not creative, like she has no sense of style. Blah blah, blah.
- 45:04Speaker 1: She doesn't have to because she she identified all of
- 45:07Speaker 1: those people and like brought them together. And then the
- 45:11Speaker 1: reality is that American Vogue is what it is not
- 45:14Speaker 1: because of the creativity. It's because of the fact that
- 45:16Speaker 1: it's a commercial It realizes that fashion is a commercial business,
- 45:20Speaker 1: like it's a retail business, and like, how do we
- 45:23Speaker 1: channel all this creativity and like artsy, fartsy whatever, which
- 45:27Speaker 1: I love, But how do we channel that into selling garments?
- 45:31Speaker 1: And I think that like that's why she she you know,
- 45:34Speaker 1: she doesn't have to do that. She can have grace
- 45:36Speaker 1: and you can have them fight and grace skin. Oh
- 45:38Speaker 1: I want this, I want this, And like Anne's like,
- 45:40Speaker 1: oh that's great, but like we're selling coachs this season,
- 45:43Speaker 1: so like these three photos have to go. Where where
- 45:47Speaker 1: do you think that comes from?
- 45:48Speaker 4: With her?
- 45:49Speaker 1: Well, I mean I don't know. I mean like I
- 45:52Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, Like I know little bit
- 45:55Speaker 1: about her origin story, but like it's interesting because her
- 45:59Speaker 1: family was all like her. They all look down on her.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Oh like her family is all like now that sounds right,
- 46:07Speaker 1: well because they're all like serious, like intellectual or like whatever.
- 46:13Speaker 1: So like her, I think her little brother was like
- 46:17Speaker 1: at one point was like the politics editor of like
- 46:19Speaker 1: the Telegraph, and her father was like this great editor
- 46:22Speaker 1: and like, so they were like serious people and so
- 46:26Speaker 1: like for the long time, there's this rumor, and I
- 46:29Speaker 1: believe it that like she was trying to like become
- 46:34Speaker 1: an ambassador. Uh, And I always thought that it was
- 46:38Speaker 1: because she really wanted validation from like her family, her family.
- 46:42Speaker 1: But she came up in this family that at the
- 46:44Speaker 1: very you know, we don't know what happened in that family,
- 46:46Speaker 1: but we know that like all of those kids were
- 46:49Speaker 1: like high achieving, like mostly serious. And she says in
- 46:53Speaker 1: the September issue, she's like when they ask her about
- 46:55Speaker 1: her family and what they think of her work, they're like, oh,
- 46:58Speaker 1: they think it's what did she say? They think it's
- 47:01Speaker 1: what I do is silly? I think is it like
- 47:03Speaker 1: the word? And like also you get this deeply un
- 47:05Speaker 1: serious basically and like but basically she was like, they
- 47:09Speaker 1: think I play games. It's like, well, she well, these
- 47:12Speaker 1: belts are exactly the same.
- 47:15Speaker 4: Then it kind of makes sense that she has turned
- 47:18Speaker 4: her place in this industry that could be seen as
- 47:21Speaker 4: very silly or frivolous into one that is extremely.
- 47:24Speaker 5: Serious, the most serious, and.
- 47:26Speaker 1: That's why I've always that's also why I think that
- 47:29Speaker 1: I gravitated towards her over everyone else. And like, obviously
- 47:32Speaker 1: I don't know maybe there were other editors who were
- 47:34Speaker 1: doing this, but like when I was like watching the
- 47:38Speaker 1: September issue in particular, the things that were like so
- 47:42Speaker 1: impressive to me was like I was like, I want
- 47:45Speaker 1: to be in a position where like I am able
- 47:47Speaker 1: to like a mango comes to me and ask me
- 47:51Speaker 1: who they should work with next, right, like and I
- 47:53Speaker 1: can be able to say, oh, to Kuon is the designer,
- 47:55Speaker 1: or like I want to be able to like have
- 47:57Speaker 1: lunches with like these retailers and like have conversations about like, oh,
- 48:02Speaker 1: this is these designers are doing really great things, like
- 48:04Speaker 1: what is the disconnect? You know, how can we make
- 48:07Speaker 1: this industry like work in a way that's like better
- 48:11Speaker 1: for the entire industry? And like I've always been interested
- 48:14Speaker 1: in that kind of state craft, which is what I
- 48:16Speaker 1: think was she was into and.
- 48:18Speaker 5: Diploma diplomacy, Yeah, that's really what it was.
- 48:21Speaker 1: And and and I think I have always been cognizant
- 48:25Speaker 1: and interested in like that. And I think that like people,
- 48:30Speaker 1: you know, sort of reduce it to just like Vogue
- 48:32Speaker 1: as the magazine or whatever, but like she really sees
- 48:36Speaker 1: it as the global industry that it is, and like,
- 48:38Speaker 1: what is it the rising tide raises all shifts and
- 48:41Speaker 1: like how do I like do things that help the
- 48:44Speaker 1: entire industry, which Vogue will obviously profit from, right, And
- 48:48Speaker 1: so I think that's why I always I've always been interested. Obviously,
- 48:51Speaker 1: I don't think that she's been extremely like personally creative
- 48:56Speaker 1: or whatever, but I'm like, you don't need to be,
- 48:58Speaker 1: because this is also just as much a business and
- 49:02Speaker 1: like about numbers and about diplomacy and like all these
- 49:05Speaker 1: things and anything else.
- 49:06Speaker 3: I think that diplomacy like makes her someone who is
- 49:09Speaker 3: able to like straddle a lot of worlds at the
- 49:11Speaker 3: same time, please a lot of people at the same time,
- 49:13Speaker 3: manage a ton of relationships.
- 49:15Speaker 4: And I think part.
- 49:15Speaker 3: Of like what you you're like outlining with her relationship
- 49:19Speaker 3: to the fashion industry, I think shows that she came
- 49:22Speaker 3: into it and she really like templatized a way of
- 49:26Speaker 3: working and being in fashion that is now how a
- 49:30Speaker 3: lot of mainstream magazines work. Like she institutionalized I think
- 49:35Speaker 3: publishing and also just like a way of being an
- 49:38Speaker 3: editor that just permeates every job, every publishing job will
- 49:42Speaker 3: ever be at. So even if I've not, I personally
- 49:44Speaker 3: have never like been on Conde's payroll, but.
- 49:47Speaker 1: Like a lot of the places I've worked at.
- 49:49Speaker 3: You know, have a cone de kind of sensibility of
- 49:52Speaker 3: working because of how Anna gets it done.
- 49:55Speaker 4: And I feel like.
- 49:57Speaker 3: That this like archetype or this kind of card tune
- 50:00Speaker 3: that people paint her as sometimes, which I think is
- 50:03Speaker 3: like an accurate cartoon, comes from her, like her institutionalization
- 50:09Speaker 3: of like fashion, like it comes from her leading with
- 50:12Speaker 3: the character before trying to be like really personable, I guess,
- 50:16Speaker 3: and not even just.
- 50:17Speaker 4: In fashion, like she is she is this hold over
- 50:22Speaker 4: of a of a bygone era of the magazine industry,
- 50:27Speaker 4: Like she is the last of a dying breed of
- 50:30Speaker 4: high powered magazine editors who like now kind of only
- 50:35Speaker 4: exist in fiction.
- 50:37Speaker 1: It's interesting because I on one hand, I'm like Anna
- 50:40Speaker 1: is very much the last and also in waghs the first.
- 50:45Speaker 5: But because she has so many children, because she is.
- 50:50Speaker 1: I think that like in many ways she is the
- 50:52Speaker 1: last of like a generation of editors. But yeah, like
- 50:56Speaker 1: I think that like everyone is trying to wrap the Kate,
- 51:00Speaker 1: the kind of influence and power that Vogue has in
- 51:03Speaker 1: like their own ways and like in influencing their industries
- 51:07Speaker 1: or you know whatever, like in their own ways, And
- 51:09Speaker 1: I don't you know obviously, I like, I'm not going
- 51:12Speaker 1: to try to say that, like I have like a
- 51:14Speaker 1: comprehensive idea of like how all editors are and were
- 51:19Speaker 1: prior to her, But I think you've got a pretty
- 51:21Speaker 1: good idea.
- 51:21Speaker 6: Girl, Like, well, yeah, Rose, do you remember like your
- 51:44Speaker 6: first like or some of your like what your earliest
- 51:48Speaker 6: like impressions of Anna might have been or Vogue.
- 51:53Speaker 4: I think for me, growing up as a little pre
- 51:57Speaker 4: woman gay kid in Florida, I think I understood that
- 52:05Speaker 4: fashion was something that, as a queer person, I was
- 52:08Speaker 4: supposed to be interested in, and because of that, I
- 52:12Speaker 4: would buy Vogue and try to like manufacture an interest
- 52:18Speaker 4: in it. And like, don't get me wrong, like I'm
- 52:20Speaker 4: interested in fashion.
- 52:21Speaker 1: I think I'm more.
- 52:22Speaker 4: Interested in the cultural aspect of fashion than like even
- 52:26Speaker 4: the I mean I like clothes, sure, but I don't
- 52:30Speaker 4: care about fashion in the way that that you do.
- 52:34Speaker 4: But I it felt like, you know, we were talking
- 52:41Speaker 4: when we did our Missus Doubtfire episode, we talked about
- 52:44Speaker 4: how like I talked about how one of the things
- 52:46Speaker 4: I loved about that was the scene where they're giving
- 52:49Speaker 4: Roma Williams the makeover and they're like referencing all these
- 52:53Speaker 4: things that like there's this like shared queer language, and
- 52:56Speaker 4: I guess that's what I kind of felt like Vogue
- 52:59Speaker 4: was and what being interested in fashion was, it was
- 53:03Speaker 4: being part of that shared queer cultural language. And so
- 53:08Speaker 4: I think that's probably when I started understanding who Anna
- 53:12Speaker 4: Wintour was. But it was definitely the Devil's Product that
- 53:15Speaker 4: was That was the thing, Oh that made me know
- 53:17Speaker 4: who she was because I read the book when it
- 53:19Speaker 4: first came out, and it was like this huge, like
- 53:23Speaker 4: publishing sensation. And I think the first time I really
- 53:27Speaker 4: knew who she was was when I read the book
- 53:29Speaker 4: and someone said, oh, that's about Anna Wintour.
- 53:33Speaker 1: I don't.
- 53:34Speaker 5: I think this was pre Devil War's product Slash.
- 53:37Speaker 3: I didn't watch Doubles product until years after it came out.
- 53:40Speaker 1: But I think one of my.
- 53:41Speaker 3: First one of my earlier fashion memories, I was trying
- 53:46Speaker 3: to think of the first Vogue that I ever bought,
- 53:48Speaker 3: and I'm I want to say it was the one
- 53:51Speaker 3: with Gaga on it, the huge McQueen gown.
- 53:55Speaker 5: It was a very gray cover. She had gray hair
- 53:57Speaker 5: at the time.
- 53:59Speaker 3: And I remember either in this issue or around this issue,
- 54:04Speaker 3: Annie Leebowitz was doing all those Disney recreations.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Of photos with celebrities so good. Was that for Vogue
- 54:11Speaker 1: or was it? Yeah, that's pretty sure.
- 54:13Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure was for Vogue. Okay, So that's like
- 54:15Speaker 3: one of my earliest memories. And I because of that
- 54:19Speaker 3: series started to like idolize any Libuwitz back when she
- 54:22Speaker 3: was relevant and like it captured my imagination at an
- 54:26Speaker 3: access point that made sense to me as like however
- 54:29Speaker 3: old I was. And I think that that is probably
- 54:32Speaker 3: something that they were thinking about when they were doing
- 54:34Speaker 3: the shoot. They were like, this is something that kids
- 54:36Speaker 3: understand and that adults also think is cool.
- 54:40Speaker 1: It's interesting because I think that, like I, I mean,
- 54:42Speaker 1: I have actually never like said this out loud, So
- 54:45Speaker 1: we're going to see how it goes. But yeah, it's
- 54:48Speaker 1: interesting to me because years ago, like obviously, fashion was
- 54:53Speaker 1: like so fantastical and like this the things that Annie
- 54:56Speaker 1: was doing and Grace was doing, and like all these
- 54:58Speaker 1: people were doing, Like I I was going back to
- 55:00Speaker 1: watch the September issue and like thinking about like the
- 55:04Speaker 1: twenties shoot that they did and like, and I think
- 55:07Speaker 1: it was interesting because it was at a time where
- 55:09Speaker 1: people were not necessarily interested in fashion for clothes, and
- 55:16Speaker 1: so they had to do all of this other stuff,
- 55:21Speaker 1: would like make sure that it told this great, big
- 55:24Speaker 1: story on this extremely large scale to get people interested.
- 55:28Speaker 1: But I think that because more people are interested simply
- 55:32Speaker 1: in fashion and like the clothes themselves, I think that
- 55:36Speaker 1: that has allowed Vogue to be a little less like
- 55:40Speaker 1: they don't have to go that far because people are
- 55:42Speaker 1: also simply just coming to look at the clothes as
- 55:46Speaker 1: well as the celebrities that are involved. And so I've
- 55:48Speaker 1: never said that like out loud before. And obviously this
- 55:51Speaker 1: also has to do with like budgets being slashes, so
- 55:53Speaker 1: there's simply not budgets to like do all of that.
- 55:57Speaker 1: And it has to do with the fact that it
- 55:59Speaker 1: takes so much more to convince the celebrity to like
- 56:04Speaker 1: give in to a creative brief because of social media
- 56:08Speaker 1: and the fact that like they don't need to do
- 56:09Speaker 1: that in order to be like and be in front
- 56:13Speaker 1: of and speak to their consumers. But I do think
- 56:16Speaker 1: that that the general publics, like increase in fashion knowledge
- 56:22Speaker 1: largely due to Vogue, has allowed Vogue to like scale
- 56:27Speaker 1: back and because people will just look at the images
- 56:30Speaker 1: for the pieces as opposed to like needing to necessarily
- 56:34Speaker 1: be transported in everything.
- 56:37Speaker 4: Yeah, it does make me wonder, like what in twenty
- 56:40Speaker 4: and twenty three is the function of Vogue and is
- 56:43Speaker 4: the function of anointur.
- 56:46Speaker 3: Because like, I don't know, I'd be curious to know,
- 56:48Speaker 3: like your trajectory, like how you would analyze the trajectory,
- 56:51Speaker 3: because I feel like a lot of people would say
- 56:53Speaker 3: that like Vogue's like golden age is like over for
- 56:58Speaker 3: to put it flatly, which you'll probably nuance for me,
- 57:00Speaker 3: But like, I feel like a lot of people are
- 57:04Speaker 3: feeling like, especially in a social media era where everyone's
- 57:09Speaker 3: you know, holding people accountable and like problematizing images online
- 57:13Speaker 3: immediately that because Vogue is now under so much content
- 57:19Speaker 3: constant scrutiny along with like every other media brand.
- 57:21Speaker 5: It's like lost its luster.
- 57:23Speaker 3: It feels like it's not a lot of times, it
- 57:25Speaker 3: feels like it's not on trend. I'm thinking about that, Harry,
- 57:30Speaker 3: was it the Hairy Styles cover that was like these
- 57:33Speaker 3: gender fluid icons or whatever, or like things like that's
- 57:36Speaker 3: like a kind of that's a superficial example.
- 57:39Speaker 1: But things like that, I think that was That's what
- 57:43Speaker 1: it is.
- 57:43Speaker 4: Gig insane.
- 57:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it's really interesting. I think that, like,
- 57:48Speaker 1: I think two things are true. I think that, like
- 57:51Speaker 1: people have these expectations of Vogue, particularly people who live
- 57:57Speaker 1: in New York in or hyper online, these expectations of
- 58:01Speaker 1: Vogue that Vogue is going to be forward thinking because
- 58:05Speaker 1: when they were younger, Vogue was forward thinking. But the
- 58:09Speaker 1: thing is, when they were younger, they weren't hyper online,
- 58:12Speaker 1: and they weren't in New York. They were in South
- 58:14Speaker 1: Carolina and Oklahoma.
- 58:16Speaker 3: And with no iPhones, no social media, no nothing, and
- 58:19Speaker 3: so Vogue.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Was ahead for them. And I think that the reality
- 58:22Speaker 1: is that like for people who are not hyper online
- 58:26Speaker 1: and who are not in these big cities, Vogue is
- 58:28Speaker 1: still ahead.
- 58:29Speaker 5: It's still ahead.
- 58:30Speaker 1: And so I think that like people just have a
- 58:33Speaker 1: different because the Internet, people have a different unders like
- 58:36Speaker 1: people who are in these cities who are hyper online
- 58:39Speaker 1: or like much further than they were, and so they're
- 58:41Speaker 1: now in the same place that someone in New York
- 58:43Speaker 1: is and so they're like, oh, this is so behind. Yeah,
- 58:45Speaker 1: but it's like, well, Vogue isn't actually for you specifically,
- 58:48Speaker 1: Like it's actually like a mass magazine, and so like
- 58:51Speaker 1: when people say things like, oh, like I look at
- 58:54Speaker 1: American Vogue, and I look at Vogue Talia and British Vogue,
- 58:57Speaker 1: and like all the other vogues are so further ahead
- 59:00Speaker 1: than American Vogue, And it's like, I don't really know
- 59:03Speaker 1: that the average American consumer is thinks that, well, yeah,
- 59:08Speaker 1: it thinks that or is like as like editorially and
- 59:11Speaker 1: visually ahead as some of these other places, Like I
- 59:14Speaker 1: think I just don't. It's I was talking about this
- 59:17Speaker 1: with someone online the other day, but not about vote
- 59:19Speaker 1: but about another topic. I just think that, Like I
- 59:22Speaker 1: think it's important to really like understand like who the
- 59:26Speaker 1: customer of the product is that you're judging. Yeah, I
- 59:29Speaker 1: think that like the line chair of the customer for
- 59:32Speaker 1: Vogue is not where most of the critics are. That's
- 59:36Speaker 1: a way of putting it.
- 59:38Speaker 4: It does feel very in a way kind of like
- 59:40Speaker 4: Middle America, like it is because that market is so
- 59:44Speaker 4: much bigger. Like I actually, for Christmas this year got
- 59:49Speaker 4: a gift of a coffee table book of Vogue images
- 59:53Speaker 4: and it was like.
- 59:56Speaker 1: It was such a mom gift, you know, it was not.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: It was crazy.
- 1:00:02Speaker 4: It was like And I also gave a coffee table
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: gift as a as a gift to someone, and I
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: gave them a Jill Sander coffee table book, and I
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: was like, Okay, this is like the difference.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: You know, these are the two genders.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: I'm also realizing that maybe even pre dating the Double
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: Wars product is the episode of Sex and the City
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: where Carrie goes to Vogue and she drunk. I'm drunk
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: at Vogue and she gets paid two dollars and fifty
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: cents a word.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Oh my god, never watched Sex and the City. But
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: I do know that you never watched Sex and this stuff.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: You ever worked somewhere where you got paid per word.
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: We need like a Sex and the City induction program,
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: like we need actually it's just come over to my apartment,
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: yehide pay and like there are a lot of people
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: who have never seen in the City.
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: We look versions we at we at Loretta LLC.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: The name of our business, are here to tell you
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: that if you know someone in need who has never
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: seen the sex, I'll give you.
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: We will give you friends h because there are too
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: many people, you see.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Yes, we will, we will. We we're here to we
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: call it mutual aid. Yes, we love a support group.
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I do want to talk about because I think
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: you can't have a conversation about Anna and about Vogue
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: without talking about the Met galat.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: You know, the Met Gala.
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: In recent years has really become something different than I
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: think a lot of us remember it as being a
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: It is the Halloween Adventure, you know, the musical. What
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: is What would your dream Met Gala theme be?
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I have no clue. I mean I think,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: think about it, think about it, think about it. We
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: can come back. What do you think of the What
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: do you think of this year's theme? The Carl Lagerfeld? Yeah, oh,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: I mean it's whatever. It's like when we have these conversations,
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: it's like so important like also acknowledge that like these
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: events and like the progression of them do not happen
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: in a vacuum. And so like just like we're saying,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: like these are different than we are used to you
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: also have to like remember that, like celebrities are very
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: different than they used to be, and so like I
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: think like some of them like are not going to
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: go out there and like try these things, and some
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: of them are and like some of like I just
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: they that they have a sense of independence in ways
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: that like they may not have in the in the past.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: I think because like social media, because of social media,
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: and I just I don't know, I mean, I it's
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: it's always really interesting to me to see the Magala looks.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: Do you have a favorite of the past or like
- 1:02:48Speaker 5: a fave Metcala look.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: Or at least favorite or a met Gala No not
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: to have Mecala. I don't, I mean, I don't. I mean,
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: like I love the exhibits. They're like always really great.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: And then China if it was so good. I still
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: think about the McQueen exhibit. Oh my god, that was.
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: I actually went the last day it was open, was
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: on my birthday, and I went and the line was
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: five hours long. And thankfully someone I knew was a
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: docent in the museum and saw me in line and
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: like plucked me out wow and took me and I
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: got to cut the line.
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: That was so jealous. That was I never got to
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: go because the lines were so crazy.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: For that speaking of like sort of like the homonormativity
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: of it, all Like I did think it was so
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: hilarious when I moved to New York that like if
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: gays thought themselves to be fashionable or edgy, they all
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: had the Alazon McQueen book.
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: Yeah, or the Scar or the scar they have either
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: Alzon Queen, Like there's two books for like fashion art gays.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: I was in McQueen. Tom Ford they have one of
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: them and then they're there. They're two different types of gays. Okay,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: what are you? What are your coffee table books? Yeah,
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: I have a lot of them. Actually I do have.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: I have the China one. Okay, that's I have a
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: tom Ford book. But also actually on the coffee table
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: is none of those books. On the coffee table is
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: a door book, which is a fashion book. But then
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: I also have a tom Finlin book, which is I
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: need two of them? Are me?
- 1:04:22Speaker 4: That is you I need some more porn for my
- 1:04:25Speaker 4: coffee table. I do have two DVDs that I picked
- 1:04:28Speaker 4: up in the desert. Twink Light is on my coffee
- 1:04:31Speaker 4: and whatever the I think, like the some bisexual porn one.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Good to know that you're.
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: Looking for some more of porn.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: That is my you know category.
- 1:04:41Speaker 4: Yes, I also have a Vivian Westwood coffee table book.
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: I have.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: What else is there?
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: There's like, oh, I have the Sex and the City
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: books that's bound in pink faux crocodile skin.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Antoine's book that is actually on my coffee table. Okay, okay,
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: sorry for the listeners. It's The Black Black Guard. It's
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: a great photography book. But you were talking about DVD's.
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: I have.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: I own like four.
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: DVDs and like vintage porn DVDs.
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, just DVD's period. And three of
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: them are born. No, just kidding, I mean they're not far.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: They're Andy Warhol films. They are the Joe dallas Andro trilogy. Wait,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: is that the pornographic one? The one they're they're the
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: ones that were there. That's why I was like, they're
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: not born, but.
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: But they were.
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: They were banned because they were pornographic, right, Oh, I
- 1:05:34Speaker 5: have no clue.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: And I took a fucking Warhol in film class when
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: I was in college and fell in love with those
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: in my hustler too, And so then I was dating
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: someone and he knew that I was such a fan,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: and so then he because I watched one of them,
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: and then he bought me all three of them. And
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: then my other film was Oh, j Edgar, j Edgar.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: It's about j Edgar Hoover, but it's like the gay storyline.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: What's his name? Armie Hammer I think plays his lover
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: the gag there's a gay our favorite. I love Armie Hammer.
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: I need to get a DVD player so I can
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: watch twink Light. I've also been considering getting the double
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: vhs of Titanic to have on my coffee table.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Oh that's the way. I have Endless Frank Oceans DVD.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: I bought that. I don't have a DVD player, so
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: I just have all these DVDs, like for Clout, they're
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: art that what they call par exactly.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: I have not actually read a lot of these coffee
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: table books.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Yeah for me, coffee table No.
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: The Vivian Westwood book I have is when my friend
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: got me for my birthday and when he came over
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: to my apartments, heute, He's like, oh, have you read this? Yeah?
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: I was like, it's a coffee table book, it's just
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: on the table. I haven't cracked my Tom of Finland.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: I have that, like so my friend Ron Takman love
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: you bought it for me and it's like the double
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: lexcel book.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: It's not this one. It's the double cell one. Okay,
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: we're yeah, okay.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: And so I think the double XL because a lot
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: of the small books are actually like sections of this book,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: which is like the full big book. And I refuse
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: to open it because I'm like, I know the second
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: that I open it, I'm not gonna I'm just going
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: to keep opening and those pages are going to get sticky.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: I don't know about, but like I can just like
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: see like smudges and like the spine, and like I
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: was like, I'm going to have to buy.
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: Coffee table books are not meant to be read right there.
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: Just sit there and put coasters on your coffee.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: You coasters on. Someone put up coaster on my Tom
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: with the then book and I told them to get out.
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: I was like, get oh, I.
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: Do it all the time with my Vimy and Western
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: one and that's bound in tweed.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: That's how they got to wear badly. I just I
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: just decided I'm going to buy another Tom of Fine
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: and I'll open that one.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: The anti Leibowitz coffee table book that was I think
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: given to me because I asked for it on like
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: a middle probably at middle school. High school birthday was
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: also bound in tweed. And let me tell you it
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: was nice and I did read through it even though
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: I didn't really understand a lot of was that's actually
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: something that I think is interesting about, like the Vogue
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: industrial complex and its relationship to people that are not
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: in New York or like not regular consumers, like fashion culture,
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: like in fashion capitals. Is that like I was fully
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: subscribing to something that I actually did not know anything
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: about because of yes, and the brand is an allure
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: of that thrives and makes money off of, for lack
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: of a better word, exclusivity. Like I don't want to
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: make vogues like as insidious is like, because that's just
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: too easy.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: But like it is.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: Like there is a kind of like you don't understand this,
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: you can't have this. This is a world beyond yours,
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: and that's why everyone wants to Yeah, you don't understand
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: why these two belts look different. You don't understand why,
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: you don't understand who these designers are, and yet I
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: want to be a part of this.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: You know, I didn't really know who any Leewits was.
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: Did you cannot fashionable in high school.
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: No, not really, but I probably was voted most fashionable and.
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: I was in the in the yearbook.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: No, it literally is just like that class bagage. Yeah,
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: class Yeah. And I wore a Juicy Gutur sweatsuit. Harry, Yeah.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: I used to have a Juicy Gutur sweatsuit and now
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: grew in and gave it away.
- 1:09:49Speaker 5: I'm so sad.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: I mean, two thousand and six, what else was to
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: wear that.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: Is the pinnacle of fashion in two thousand and six.
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: Juicy Tour. Absolutely, But just remember.
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: I think that Vogue, like I think that like vogue
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: selling point was that there is this like world that
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: like you can't excess, that you can't understand that you
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: can't all these things, and we are your window into that,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: the gateway, your gay way. And so I think that
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: like that is what they have kind of like leverage
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: is like the whole brand. And back to a point
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: that I don't think I actually addressed that Rose is
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: making like or maybe it was your friends, that like
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Vogue has kind of like fallen out of favor or
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: like try or whatever. And I think part of the
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: reason that has been happening is because there are so
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: many other windows now and so you don't need Vogue
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: to be that window. And so like like Vogue obviously
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: like did not do their transition to digital. Well, like
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: the girls are catching up, they are their paywall scenario
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: is not right. Well, they have a lot of issues,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: like because like back in the day, like Vogue was
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: like the spot where like people would go but like
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: particularly for like exclusive and all that stuff, like even
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: pr but like now it feels like people go to
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: Vogue to say they were in Vogue because that has
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: a cultural cachet, but they don't go there to reach
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: the consumer.
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: And so you go to vote and so like no,
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: you can go directly, you can do all these other things.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: And so like when people get a cover of Vogue,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: it's more so about like I'm on Vogue again, Like
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: if Rihanna gets another cover of Vogue, it's about Rihanna's
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: on Vogue. When Cardi b had her I mean, like
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: it's rarely, I think you rarely hear people talking about
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: the story. It's more about the cultural cachet of like
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: simply being on or in Vogue. Like even I don't
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: even listen to him, but I know this lyric because
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: I wrote about someone in teen Vogue and then they
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: use the lyric for a caption, but like Drake has
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: that song and he says like, are you a model
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: if you haven't been in Vogue?
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: Yea?
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: And you know, I mean like it's that that is
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: the cultural cachet of it all, and I think that
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Vogue also unders stand that today that like it's literally
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: like and that's what they have at this moment, is
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: like it is the cultural cachet of just simply being
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: like related to the brand as opposed to like people
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: you know, actually reading.
- 1:12:15Speaker 4: Well, it's like the whole thing that happened with that
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: new HBO show The Idol where Rolling Stone wrote this
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: story about how it's like this really embattled production and
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: like a lot of shit is going wrong with it
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: because of San Levinson in the weekend, and then the
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: Weekend like as an Own posted a clip from the
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: show of them basically talking about how irrelevant Rolling Stone
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: is in the show, and it's like not really quite
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: the own that he thinks it is, because in the
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: scene he who in the show, he's like this cult
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: leader and he is saying to this pop Stars publicist, like,
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: what's the point of her being in Rolling Stone she
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: has like ten times the Instagram followers that Rolling Stone has.
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: But like, the point he's missing is there is still
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: that cultural cachet to for a rock star or a
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: pop star to being on the cover of Rolling Stone
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: that you can't just having a lot of followers is
- 1:13:11Speaker 4: not the same thing as validation. It is exactly a
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: validated So it's a it's also that's what it is, right,
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: it's a validation of those ten million followers. Yeah, and
- 1:13:19Speaker 4: it's putting you in conversation with all these people with
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: the legacy of the people who have been on the cover, which.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: Is why I was gonna let this sit, but I'm
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: going back to it. Yeah, you mentioned Annie Leibovitz, and
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: like all the discourses, that's why. That's what all the
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: discourse around Annie Leibovitz like doesn't understand, is that a
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: part of the thing with the images that Annie creates,
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: the reason why she keeps getting booked, is it's partially
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: because people want to be associated with having an Ani photo.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: They want to be in conversation with the canon of
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: images that she has taken.
- 1:13:53Speaker 5: Honestly, sorry, no, that's honest.
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: On a conversation of like covers in general, which I
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: think that the three of us like might have a
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: lot of opinions.
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: On people also don't understand why people are on the cover.
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: Like most of the time, it's like there's so many
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: different like political and financial like mechanations that go into
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: why someone is on the cover, And a lot of
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: times there are like six or seven people that were
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: reached out to first.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: Before that cover, are booked before that cover. I've heard
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: those conversations.
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: We've heard those conversations, and it's like that when when
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: covers come out and people were like, well, why this person,
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: It's like, actually, there's seven hundred reasons why this person
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: isn't usually.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: Because there were like five people who weren't available or something.
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of the time, or also it's just
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: because of something political or something deeply internal to Vogue
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: or whatever magazine that where it's just like the editor
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: had a relationship with this person or this person you
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: know has been on doc for a really long time,
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: or like I'm thinking about like when Rue had her
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: cover or whatever and was like everyone was like finally,
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: It's like most people don't know that, sorry alloydedly that
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: Ru had been asked to do a.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Cover of Vogue for like been on the cover of Vogue.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: Oh I thought he was on the cover. No, no, no, no, yeah,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: he had a spread and that was this is what
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: I'm talking about, the Nuance, but that was the Kim
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: Kardashian cover. The camp also was scrutinized. It was scrutinized
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: because people were like, Roue should have been on this cover. Oh,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: that's why, that's why, that's why it was a camp.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: And the shoot looked like it could have been a
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: cover and it was. It was. It was the camp
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: like it was for that exhibit, and it was like
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: the photo of Kim was like this, like she what
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: I think she's like wet hair or something like is
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: this camp or whatever? The fuck?
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: It's like it's not.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: But so then like that story with Rue is I
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: think it's so hilarious, which also was shot by Annie,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: But did you like read the story which she.
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: Like about how she tried to get her and he was.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Like, take off the crown and Ru was like no,
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: She was like, it's a whole different thing. If I
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: take off the crown, I'm not taking off.
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: The But apparently Ru had been asked to be on
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: Vogue many many times and declined. Same thing with SNL
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: and Rue had been asked to be on SNL MA anytime.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: I probably I mean with Ru. Rue is also like
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: even before social media and like people were like and
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: more celebrities became more independent and like would say no
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: and decline. Rue would. Rue was very specific about, like
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: the ways in which she wanted to be portrayed and
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: on what platforms. So for example, I could see Ru
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: being like, I'm not doing Vogue in this track or
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: like I want to do it like you know, this way,
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: and like them being like, well no, we want control,
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: and Ru being like that's great, We're just not gonna
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Yeah, she's always from
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: my understanding is it for a very long time she
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: has been very specific about like what she will and
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: will not do, and if she doesn't think it makes sense,
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: she just won't do it. As much like Anna.
- 1:16:44Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, Ruin and Anna are very similar.
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: Also, like you think they've explored each other's body. Honestly,
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: I am fascinating. I would be fascinated to hear the
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: conversations that have probably had that have been had between
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: them at least at some point in time. But like, yeah, no,
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: it's they're like, if us, if it's about control with Rue,
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: about not wanting to do it, if it's not about that,
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: it's it's like Ru's like, oh, I'm sorry, Vogue, I'm
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: very busy being the host of a game show, a
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: live Tic tac toe game show, and that is actually
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: more worth my time higher episode.
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: Yeah we should.
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: At some point we will wait, have you ever met
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: have you ever met Anna?
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Yes? I interviewed.
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: Okay, wait, what can you so without disclosing you know,
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: is h without disclosing any details.
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: You don't want to?
- 1:17:31Speaker 5: What was the experience?
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: Like?
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: What did you wear?
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: First of all, I don't remember, no, no, no no,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: I literally do not remember.
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: No no, no, no, I don't. I don't. I really don't.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: But I think I wore my like blazer, and then
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: I know I wore a wide trouser. Did I wear
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: the black version of this? I think I wore like
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: I'm wearing jack Miss trousers now, and I probably wore
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: like the black version of these. They're like these wide
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: leg trouser. I'm pretty sure I wore that and like
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: a blazer, but I mean it was fine. The thing
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: is that like I've always been told she's extremely straightforward,
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: straight to the point, and she is. I walk in.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: I think she's with her seven assistants, No, just one.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: Like they reach out to me like and we're like, hi,
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: we're like looking for someone for this role. We were.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: Anna was told that like you would be good for it,
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: she would like to meet with you. And I was like, okay,
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: and you've been summoned. No, that's how I feel.
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: It feels like a summoning. It's meant to feel like
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: a summoning. They do that on purpose.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: And I emailed because they understand it and yeah, and
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: so like I I think I emailed something. I think
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: I guess it's okay or something. And they were like
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: this day this time.
- 1:18:45Speaker 5: I was like yes, yes, yes, doesn't matter.
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: So then you're like canceling, like you like nephews like
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: bar Mits or whatever.
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: You're like, I'm sorry my birthday. So I go into
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: the meeting. She she wasn't in there, like someone that
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: came brought me and sat me down, this like very
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: nondescript from not her office. And she comes in. I
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: shook her hen she has her sunglasses on, she has
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: her resume.
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: My resume she has.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: Printed out scary and I had brought it just in
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: case because I was like, she's an older no offense,
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: she's an older lay fast, no fash. Yeah, I just
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: just like she probably would like to see. And I
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: was like, I'm not gonna assume that she looked at
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: it already. And so she sits down and the first
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: question she asks me is literally I'm not gonna say
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: the exactly, but she's like, oh, I see that this
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: is not on your resume. Like the background check.
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: That I did on you doesn't quite light her up
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: with the things that are on this is that kind
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: of No.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: She was basically saying, like, this skill that is needed
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: for this job resented on your resume. She was like,
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: but I do have your sniffiest profile there, and so
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: like like that was the first It wasn't like was
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: the meeting fifteen minutes? No, no, no, we I think
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: we were in there for like forty. They did tell
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: me that it was going to be like everybody was like, oh,
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: it'll be very abbreviated, but it was.
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: But Anna decides how long it is, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: And you go in assuming that it's going to be
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. Yeah, she believes that most meeting should be
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: fifteen minutes.
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: And I assume that it was gonna be a fifteen
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: to twenty minute meeting. We got in there, it was
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: I think it was like thirty or forty, which was
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: like I was like, oh, maybe I did like fine,
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: And then I thought that I completely bombed it because
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: she like at the end she was like, oh, can
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: you do this thing for me? And I thought she
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: just like did that out of habit and like whatever.
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: But then I had to talk to like the head
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: of people or hr there and they were like, no,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: if Anna didn't like you, she would have asked you
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: to do nothing. Yeah, she would have said, they would
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: have gotten back to you.
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: So you're asked for a material, Yeah, she was. He
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: was like, Sarah asked you to do a thing for her.
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: Then like you're still thing. She was like, you're still
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: very much in She's like she's not going to waste
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: her time looking at a thing.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: You did you were you nervous?
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: I was extremely nervous. So what did you what was
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: like your body?
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: Well, how did do you remember anything about like how
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: you felt or like when you walked out and you're
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: like I bombed that, Like what else from the experience
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: can you glean from her mannerisms or like.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: I mean, I mean she just wears the same thing.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: She's like this little dress, like.
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: She wears the same like kind of Flora's like.
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: Yeah most of the yeah. And so she looked great,
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: she looked she looked very much like the That's the
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: thing is like it's not like she gets in this
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: caricature when she like goes she every day with the
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: shades and so like thinking about that, I was dagging
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: about was I was like, she's really in this interview
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: with these shades. I was gagging.
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: I'm thinking about that clip of her when that that
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: woman asked her for her.
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: I d outside of the car or whatever she was.
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: She was like like you no wait, Michel came to
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: the studio with no idea, which like everybody, I you
- 1:22:07Speaker 3: were any character girl, you were you were doing.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: And I'm saying, I never go anywhere with an I
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: D like you are winter unless I'm going to a club.
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: I'm like, why do I I need papers?
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: The virgin and the virgins can't see you right now,
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: but you are wearing like wrap around chanelle shades and.
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: You know, a bob like this is a way to
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: sort of like wrap up, like, what is your your
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: Anna Wintour look like I was when you solidify the
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: fran look that you want to be burned into people's memories?
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: What is it?
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: Did I ever have a uniform?
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: Yes, you all know, like when we work together, I
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: you know, wore all black. It was a very easy
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: way to make Zara look expensive. It was a very
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: easy way to you know, not let people see my outfit,
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: not to judge me based on what I was wearing.
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: And you're also colorblind, yes, and I'm colorblind. So it's
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: just like, you know, a layer of things that I
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: don't have to worry about in the more. And like
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: also like with editors, like our day starts at like
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: six or seven, and so it's just like I don't,
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: like my brain didn't have the capacity to like put
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: an outfit together. Since then, I am now have ENUF
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: for raid into color, And I don't know what my
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: uniform is. I am like a kind of big, big pants,
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: tiny top kind of girl, which is like basic, basic
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: and tiktoki.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: But I don't know if I necessarily.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: Have a uniform now, But I would like to you
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: have a uniform, I tell.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: I kind of do, and I kind of don't. I
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: mean I think that if I was like a like
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: I mean, I yeah, I love a very I like
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: a wide leg trouser. I like a smaller top, and
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: then I like a huge coat over it all because
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: like I kind of love the idea and like I
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: love like something that's a little bit a line when
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: like you have the coat on, because I kind of
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: love the idea of being like completely ensconced in this
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: thing and like people can't really like tell what's going
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: on with the figure. And then my the reveal of
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: like no, this is bigger, you just see this waste.
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: And then also like everything below the waist is like
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: quite imorphously because it's this huge trouser, but like it's
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: like this small torso like waste. And then like, Okay,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: this is a great silhouette, which is hilarious because it's
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: just like the silhouette of like having a long skirt
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: like a woman. But that's what I've always like really
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: been obsessed with.
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: But you, I mean, you look great in an oversized
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: fit and also like wearing all black witch you frequently
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: do like forces you to just think about silhouettes, Yeah,
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: which I think is like texture. I think that that's
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: on the like fashion and styling front. The thing that
- 1:24:43Speaker 3: like most people don't understand when they're like putting an
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: outfit together or styling themselves.
- 1:24:47Speaker 5: It's like it's like the silhouette matters a lot.
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: Yeah, particularly yeah, if you take especially if you take
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: color out of this situation, it doesn't matter a lot.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: And like even this, like I love like little things
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: that are like because if you generally were all black,
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: you get a few like colored pieces in it. Like
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: obviously they do a lot of work. So like today
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: I have one like black shoes like this black polo,
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: this black huge overcoat from Acne, and these like green
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: jacquesess like wide leg trousers, and the effect when I'm
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: walking down the street and i have my coat on
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: because the code so long, it's like you really don't
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: see the whole trouser. You see like five inches of
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: the trouser. But it's like a little skirts little people.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: But then it's also like when I'm walking, like if
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: the co opens, you see these flashes of green of
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: and like I think about that, I'm like I'm like
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: that's so shiite, Like I'm literally walking down thinking about
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: the effect that it's having up like, oh yeah, you're
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: having your ant.
