"She always felt like half a person. Half a person with half a soul." We're closing out stripper month with the 2007 Lindsay Lohan cult classic I Know Who Killed Me (aka Parent Trappin' per Blaire). Lohan plays a college student who is tortured by a sadistic serial killer, then when she is found, claims to be a stripper named Dakota. This movie has everything: Twin Peaks vibes, a decent amount of gore for horror heads, the woman who plays the nun in The Nun, an Art Bell cameo for Coast to Coast fans, two Real Housewives, and a Sphynx cat with big balls. Costumes by Rachel Sage Kunin (Jane the Virgin, Dallas).

"Do you care for the Artist Formerly Known as Prince?" For this week's Stripper Month-themed episode, we're heading back to 1996 to hang out at the Eager Beaver! Demi Moore made headlines for her portrayal of a single mom-turned-exotic dancer in Striptease. The Oscar-winning costume designer Albert Wolsky (Grease, All That Jazz, Bugsy, Revolutionary Road) dressed Moore in sequin bikinis, platform go-go boots, and feather boas, but let's not forget about style icon Burt Reynolds and his Vaseline-filled cowboy boots! We also discuss weird TikTok cooking videos and Jennifer Coolidge's caftans in White Lotus.

Get your legwarmers out, Fishies! We're talking about Flashdance (1983) on this episode! Jennifer Beals's looks effortlessly go back and forth between Lycra and Lugz, dancewear and construction clothing, since she plays a welder by day, dancer by night. Costumes were by award-winning designer Michael Kaplan who did the OG Blade Runner, Clue, Burlesque, Armageddon and so many!

We also discuss Paris Hilton's Netflix cooking show, fake cakes, and Blaire Moi spills her own tea about an encounter with the hotel heiress…

It's stripper month here at Fishnet Flix and we're kicking things off with Zola! We've been waiting for the "Thotyssey" to come out 4-eva and it did not disappoint. The costumes designed by Derica Cole Washington that Taylour Paige and Riley Keough wear throughout the movie are perfection. Vintage Dior, Fashion Brand Company, Zara, even some ASOS in there, and the lowkey homages to Wizard of Oz, Clueless, Romy & Michele are brilliant. We're adding vintage LV Speedys to our carts, thank you! Tune in now and let us know what you think on the socials.

Today on the pod, Blaire and Marie are discussing the iconic What A Way to Go,! which starred Shirley MacLaine as a four-time widow dressed to the nines, courtesy of thee Edith Head! Head was one of the most prolific costume designers of her time — a true legend, and this film was one of her best. We're talking over 72 costumes (including that head-2-toe pink number that was all over our Tumblr feeds back in the day), at a budget of over half a mil, with $3.5 million in Harry Winston bling. Just DE-GORGEOUS! We also discuss Blaire being accidentally babysat by Shirley MacLaine and Paul Newman's fine ass...

It's the episode the world has been waiting for! Blaire and Marie cover the fashions of The Fast and the Furious (and 2 Fast 2 Furious)! We're celebrating the sleeveless man-tops, mesh tanks, chunky flame boots, big silver chains, and pink chaps seen in the best film franchise of all time! As longtime members of the Fast Fam, this episode has been in the works for a while. Shoutout to the wonderful costume designer Sanja Milkovic Hays who has done every Fast film (as well as Blade, Captain Marvel, and the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home).

We also introduce our new top of the show segment, Obsessed Much, where we talk about our current obsessions, shopping and otherwise. (There may or may not be a callback to Simply Irresistible's Crab Napoleon...).

Congrats to Blaire for today's episode, because she has been requesting we do Simply Irresistible for a while! It's her favorite movie, and you'll soon learn why...it takes place in a world where a magical crab turns a crappy chef (Sarah Michelle Gellar) into an amazing one whose food makes everyone horny! This movie may have gotten a 16% at Rotten Tomatoes, but it gets a 100% for costumes who are by Janie Bryant (Mad Men, Why Women Kill, It). But that's not all! None other than Todd Oldham is responsible for all of Sarah Michelle Gellar's looks!!! So grab yourself a plate of Crab Napoleon, sit back and relax, and enjoy the show.
