Did you know that costume designers, the majority of whom are women, are paid nearly 30 percent less than other, male-dominated creative department heads? Despite costume design being a pivotal part of storytelling in cinema, it has been historically dismissed as “women’s work,” leading to the artisans being underpaid and under-appreciated in their industry.  In this very special episode, we're covering the Pay Equity Now movement! Blaire chats with costume designers and friends of the pod, Ariyela Wald-Cohain and Whitney Anne Adams, who are co-chairs of the Costume Design Guild’s Pay Equity Steering Committee, about this important initiative. Tune in now and learn how to support costume designers' fight for pay parity, because without them, there would be no us! #CDGPayEquity #NakedWithoutUs Follow Pay Equity Now on Instagram Follow CDG Local 892 Ariyela Wald-Cohain on Instagram Whitney Anne Adams on Instagram and Tales from a Costume Designer Podcast https://deadline.com/2024/01/costume-designers-launch-eq

The Brothers Sun hive, rise up! The show’s costume designer, Vera Chow, joins the pod to tell us how she dressed Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, Sam Song, and the rest of the cast for the new Netflix series. If you haven’t binge-watched this hilarious, action-packed show yet, it tells the story of a Taiwanese triad gangster who goes to LA to protect his estranged mother and improv-wannabe brother. Vera talks about how growing up in Asia helped prepare her for the gig and how she highlighted API clothing brands and sourced from thrift stores, Chinatown, designers, and Amazon for the characters' looks. She also created custom pieces (including a $6,000 corset belt for a character who dies right away), used tons of symbolism, put in costume design Easter eggs, and so much more for this epic series.

My colors are blush and bashful! We’re ending Dollyuary, our month-long Dolly Parton celebration, with a classic…Steel Magnolias! After having emotional breakdowns from watching this tear-jerker movie, we get into the fashions of these strong southern belles! Costume designer Julie Weiss (Frida, American Beauty) put this deliciously talented crew of women (Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, and Olympia Dukakis) in big shoulder pads, cat-eye glasses, fur coats and overalls, and church hats galore! We discuss the alleged Mob Wife trend and thee armadillo cake; Blaire celebrates Ouiser’s (Shirley’s) eccentric Southern Lady glam, and Marie attempts to make Truvee’s (Dolly’s) cuppa cuppa cuppa cake (1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 fruit cocktail with the syrup).

Y’all come back now, ya hear? In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas movie musical, Dolly Parton is Miss Mona, the madam of the local Chicken Ranch, a historic and beloved brothel in a small Texas town. Sheriff Ed Earl (Burt Reynolds) helps out Miss Mona by looking out for the brothel, but the duo runs into trouble when TV personality Melvin Thorpe tries to expose the ranch. Dolly's outfits are a serious boudoir chic feast for the eyes, with ruffles, lace, feathers, sequins, and floor-length “ringmaster red” garments, costumed by the late, great Theodora Van Runkle (Troop Beverly Hills). As usual, we break down our favorite looks but also discuss Burt Reynold’s hunkdom (and how we’d cast Pedro Pascal in his role for our imaginary remake). There’s also chisme about Dolly and Burt hating each other during filming, so Blaire has a request for Ryan Murphy: to make the next installment of Feud be about their drama!

Welcome to Dollyuary! It’s Dolly Parton’s birthday month, so it was only natural that we kick off 2024 by paying homage to our country queen, Dolly Parton!

Violet (Lily Tomlin), Judy (Jane Fonda), and Doralee (Dolly) are all coworkers who have HAD it with their sexist jerk of a boss (Dabney Coleman), and things get out of hand after their revenge fantasy goes awry. There are serious layers to the ladies' costumes that you won’t want to miss. Before we get into the movie, we discuss Stanley cups, Jeremy Allen White’s Calvin Klein campaign, The Iron Claw movie (shoutout to costume designer Jen Starzyk!), and also play a message from a listener with a FAB gym bro vampire suggestion (from our Interview with the Vampire episode, if you recall....).

Up your ziggy with a wa-wa brush! In All I Wanna Do, our girl Kiki Dunst is a rebel at a 1960s all-girls high school with Gaby Hoffman, Monica Keena, Heather Matarazzo, and Rachel Leigh Cook. The girls are part of a secret club called D.A.R. (Daughters of the American Ravioli), in which they share their post-graduation dreams and vow to help each other attain them no matter what. Once the school threatens to become co-ed, the girls decide to take matters into their own hands and raise some hell! The private school looks are retro cute and inspire us to want to wear berets, knee socks, and 60s dresses. Costume design by Ann Hould-Ward and Julie Whitfield! Tune in now!

I said, Brrr! It's cold in here! Grab your pom-poms because it's time for Bring it On! For our first film for Dunstcember, we’re discussing this 2000 cheer-com starring Kirsten Dunst as the captain of a high school cheerleading squad who discovers her team’s legacy has all been a lie! Costume design is by the amazing Mary Jane Fort (Mean Girls).

To finish October, we’re talking about 2000's Ginger Snaps on the pod this week! The film, which Marie describes as the Canadian precursor to Jennifer’s Body, is about two sisters named Ginger and Brigitte who are super close (and super angsty!). One day, Ginger gets her period for the first time, AND bit by a werewolf, and becomes a real ravenous b****! There are a lot of parallels between this and Jennifer's Body, such as the opposites-attract dynamic between the sisters, the blood-hungry transformation, and even the makeover moment reveal that happens during an iconic slow-motion, walking down the hallway scene. Costume designer Lea Carlson put Ginger and Brigitte in oversized cardigans, maxi skirts, thin choker necklaces, and animal skull jewelry. Forgot Gilmore Girls fall fashion, it’s all about Ginger Snaps werewolf-girl style! We also talk about House of Usher Raymond and the Y2Kills exhibit at Mystic Museum in LA, and we reminisce about going to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Night back in the day

Keeping with our October whores4horror theme, this episode is on the feminist horror flick Run Sweetheart Run, one of Blaire’s faves! Cherie (Ella Balinska) is a single mom and secretary at an LA law firm who has to go to dinner with her boss’ client. Sure, he may be hot and rich, but he’s actually a bloodthirsty demon who chases her all around the city. Dating in LA is hard! Costume designer Nadine used touches of symbolic red throughout the film and other interesting choices, like a decorated military jacket and karate suits. Other things we discuss? Oh, just the great Hoe Bag vs. Slut Kit debate, men in gray sweatpants, and Blaire reminisces about her interesting night at Schwartz and Sandy’s (for all your Vanderpump peeps). Tune in, now!

The next installment of Marie and Blaire's horror faves for October is "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with costume design by Catherine Adair (Desperate Housewives, Fate: The Winx Saga, Perry Mason). We've already done the sequel (as we sometimes go backward on this here pod), but now is the time to celebrate our Croaker Queen Helen Shivers's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) totally modern cut-out dress and sophisticated New York-inspired 'fits. We also talk about Julie's (Jennifer Love Hewitt) cozy sweaters, crop tops, and Paddington Bear hat, Barry's (Ryan Philippe) preppy sweaters, the '90s trend of dog tag necklaces and military fatigues, and the risks of wearing tons of jewelry when you have a vengeful, hook-swinging killer on the loose. Then for Cosmic Costumes, Marie tries to analyze Helen and Julie's sun signs. Other topics of discussion include Marie’s week of being Ms. Goop Paltrow, her 24-hour trip to see Lady Gaga sing jazz in Las Vegas, and her psychic medium reading, while Bl
