Haute Set

Bonjour ma cherie! Welcome to the new season of the show! We are embracing color and big design. What better way to kick it off than the movie that spawned a million twee alt girls? Amelie is a style role model who is deep in her vigilante era. And the world she lives in is a place of beauty. The harmony of costumes, sets, and props in this movie is absolutely stunning. A must watch. 

And hopefully this episode is a must listen.

Welcome to the Season 2 Finale! We're getting some color and vibrancy and really wild textiles to finish out this season. We praise aliens, people who work with vinyl, and the majesty of Ruby Rhod. And the Diva, can't forget about the diva. Climb into your pods and don't forget to tip your flight attendants, she's got to keep that wig in tip-top shape!

We're taking a few weeks off before we return for season 3 with a whole new theme. End Transmission!

It's dark, it's moody, there are suits everywhere, it must be Batman. This episode we delve into 2 versions of Gotham that reflect the times they were made in. And the gangs all here, most notably The Joker. But he's got enough style to fill a whole gang. The costumes in both movies help delicately walk the line between the real world and cartoon world. 

Season 2 is rapidly coming to an end! You either die a hero, or you pod long enough to become the villain.

This episode is a sucker punch right to the ear. 

Melinda finally gets revenge for having to watch Hook earlier this season by making Ariel revisit a movie she never wanted to see again. In keeping with the themes of this movie, it's the most contentious episode to date. But it's a clean fight. At least something that can be agreed on, the costumes here are perfect.

Let's travel to a pretty suburban 1950's fantasy world full of NPC's as they discover free will. And I think we all know what a suburban fantasy of this time looks like (W H I T E). Truth, courage, art, and sexuality make the world transform from gray to technicolor. Grab your umbrellas, its getting stormy out.

These movies have everything: The British colonization of India, pretty hair bows, sad rich white children, severe emotional neglect, a stunning rococo-esque garden, racism, all green everything, child labor, beautiful natural textiles. What more could you want?

Friends,  you have no idea where this episode is headed. We didn't know when we picked this movie. This episode is nothing less than investigative journalism in the form of looking at the first page of google results. There's nothing more to say, just listen.

There might also be some background noises in this episode. Don't forget this is the season of forgiveness.

The power of the color pink is in full force here! These movies are about the same thing; how you dress will determine how people see you and what they think you're capable of. And you better own it. The early 00's were a wild time in Girl World, and not just because of the crazy fashion trends. 

But we're inviting you to sit with us for this episode. And we don't do that a lot, so you should know that this is, like, a really big deal. This is gonna be exactly like senior year, except for funner!

Friends, this one was a bit FRAUGHT. While as kids we loved and delighted in the adventures of Mr. Henry Jones Jr (alias Indiana Jones) it's hard to ignore...so much in these movies. Join us for an unmoored traipse through the original trilogy with only a brief cameo by Temple of Doom because you know why. We don't really need to say it. 

This is about as un-researched as it gets. And in that way we have upheld our promise to you.

The American high school experience is so universal, even Shakespeare wrote about it. Or is it the other way around? There's only one way to find out! This movie delivers all the best fashion looks you could ever want from 1999. It was the age of limited hair/makeup skills but limitless personal style and confidence. Where do you fall on the princess -- shrew spectrum?
