Vanity Project

This week, for the fifth and final VPT2 interview, the girls are joined by the one and only Miski! Vanity Project: Terrible Twos is just one sleep away! It’s so close we can taste it!

This is a masterclass in talking courtesy of #voicesbymiski. The girls chitchat about birthdays, stand-up, comedy, funny ha-ha jokes, playing-it-straight, writing as practice, and so-called apophenia! Here come the drums, here come the drums!

Repeat after us: Miski. Is. Our. Supreme. Leader.

This week the girls sit down with artist, poet, and proud horse girl Elisabeth Sulich for the fourth installment of VPT2 interviews in the lead-up to June 7th! They wax lyrical about mother's milk and arrive back at the platitude that god is a woman after all. And so they are left asking the brave questions: does god have traction alopecia? Does she listen to Ariana Grande music on purpose? Was she raised on baby formula? Did she grow up in a household without a TV?

They discuss the movies that shaped their childhoods: Baby Mama (2008) and Daddy Day Care (2003) and soon realise that all roads lead to Bondi Junction car park.

As Nigella Lawson once said: You could probably get through life without knowing how to roast a chicken, but the question is, would you want to?

We are graced with HRH, the People’s Princess, proprietor of Sugondèse Film Festival, and proud owner of Triple F tits, Kate McGuinness. In the third of our series of EXCLUSIVE interviews we have the distinct pleasure of sitting across from another cofa alum, an ex-performance artist and comedienne on her artworld journey to and from seriousness, humour, and Parramatta.

We discuss Kate’s love for filmmaking, her return to trekking the entirety of Parramatta Road, and if it’s more Bear Grylls or Marina and Ulay of her, and… yeah! Hold tight through the ex-head-of-sculpture’s bum-hole… we’re taking a sharp left at Granny’s vagina, all in the lead up to Kate’s performance on JUNE 7th!

This week, for another very special VPT2 interview, the girls are joined by the fabulous Joel AKA Billie Posters AKA Berlin Joel. Ceramicist, filmmaker, performance artist, reformed lawyer and Kitkat-enjoyer sits down between us to chat everything from cofa to UDK and back.

We open up in an anti-circle-jerk of sorts regarding our troubles with institutions, the Sydney art market, and painting. Attention to form is key: whether it’s art school or the sex club we’re searching together for divine inspiration, like Fiona Apple holding a coat hanger to the sky and waiting for it to strike. There’s some kind of cultural interchange happening between Berlin and Sydney… and we can feel it in our panties!

On the first Tuesday of May (adjusted for time zones) we made ourselves breakfast and buckled into the live Vogue coverage of the MET Gala. Listen as Laura and Charles give a little more than their two cents on Karl: A Line of Beauty.

We give you the talking points you need to survive the media maelstrom of takes, take-downs, and gags of the gala’s red carpet. From Advanced Style and aging musty Chanel No. 5 smells to Nicole Kidman at the Fountain of Youth, Laura is entranced into a pheromonal firestorm that leaves her gagging! Charles can’t help but break down what exactly Karl Lagerfeld has to do with giving Kim Kardashian a pearl necklace AND, just this once, we go easy on Karlie Kloss and JW Anderson. Hear what’s changed the hearts and minds of fashion commentating’s most jaded semioticians.

For this very special 50th episode of Vanity Project, the girls are taking your calls! Watch the gay men go quiet when dialing 1800-Vanity-Project. The devoted listeners of the pod make their voices heard…literally! 

Laura and Charles field all your burning questions, like which Sydney art schools have cock shame and which ones have “pussy facing the world”? What are they putting on a sandwich? What is Vanity Project shoplifting? Can they find you a boyfriend? The answers live within this very special episode.

Vanity Project thank you for listening! And with that, the hotline is closed…officially!

Laura and Charles are joined by their dearest friends, Levent and Carmen, to speak about some upcoming special events! Vanity Project cordially invites you to the Fatal Crush: 037 issue launch ‘see-through’ on Tuesday the 18th of April at the Black Box UNSW A&D from 6-8pm along with Levent Kaya’s curatorial debut ‘Bonfire’ the following night from 6pm on Wednesday the 19th at Flow Studios in Camperdown.

Before recording this special four-way episode, Vanity Project flashed their press pass and got a sneak preview of Levent Kaya’s magnum opus. They spend the hour stroking their, and one another’s egos and admiring the cum on the walls à la Jackson Pollock. They discuss art school, drilling, pegging the patriarchy, auto-empowerment, student writing, mentorship, curation, and vision. Have your say, which motherfucker needs to speak up?

Strap in everyone because these shows are going to blow your cock right off! And because we’re feeling extra generous this week, we even included an untucked interlude and a sexy surprise strip tease narrated by Carmen herself! You’re welcome!
