"World's Worst"… possibly. The winner? We're not saying.

In fact, we'll be trying not to say the name of She-who-shall-not-be-named, for the season. We weren't sad to see the eliminated girl sashay away, either.

Who was judging this week? There was Michelle, Ross and Carson. Oh and the brilliant Charo! And there was Vivacious. Wasn't there someone else? Wait, wait, let us try to remember. Oh yeah, Olivia Munn. Meh.

Like most everyone else concerned with limiting the spread of the coronavirus, Troy and Rick are adjusting to living with social distancing. That means relying on the Internet, news and social media to make sense of what's going on. Troy wonders how the pandemic will impact his research. In the meantime, Relevant Queer continues to give some much needed hope and inspiration.

In their first podcast of 2020, Troy and Rick talk about Greta Gerwig and Little Women (What? No nomination for Best Director?), Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit, and seeing Bianca del Rio in Everybody's Talking about Jamie. In upcoming episodes, Troy and Rick hope to talk about Madonna's Madame X now that they've seen the show twice, and the movie Joker, after Todd Phillips's Q&A at Odeon Leicester Square.

Troy describes the PhD confirmation process for his research project, and his recent presentation on his ontological investigation of fashion in social media. This leads the discussion into studying fashion as a practice. What does practicing fashion mean? Who does it? Why? Troy suggests that understanding fashion as a practice emphasises fashion's relation to the body and our social worlds.
