Hi friends, 

Maggie went to a naked dinner party and we saw the Wicked film at the Melbourne premiere. 

Next, what the hell happened on night two of the Melbourne Dolly Alderton show? Hugh van Cuylenburg, known for his work on healthy masculinity, vulnerability and motivational speaking through The Resilience Project, apparently “hijacked” the conversation with Dolly sparking disappointment from attendees. 

We reached out to the Culture Club listeners who were there to hear their first-hand thoughts and discuss why it's sparked such a local conversation on gender. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write and voicemail. 

Post-US election, the internet is ablaze with cultural conversations around the fashion of the past few years and how it indicated a Republican landslide. From old money to coquette to Americana, the trend cycle has been perpetuating conservatism for a while. 

We quote a TikTok by Elysia Berman, reference the substack Fashion's Alt-Right Flirtation from I Heart Mess and read from a 2018 VICE article titled Learn To Spot The Secret Signals Of Far-Right Fashion. 

For recommendations, Maggie continues the US politics theme with the podcast America’s Young Men Are Falling Behind – And Shifting Right by Plain English with Derek Thompson. Jas enjoyed a newsletter from The Foreword titled So You’re In A Comparison Spiral by Lilith Hardie Lupica for the career newsletter The Foreword.

Thank you to Australian period brand Scarlet and their new rae heat pad for sponsoring this episode. 

Chat next time!! Jas & Mags xo
