Happy Thursday, Dolls!
This week we’re exploring Sofia Coppola’s filmography, the no-pants Miu Miu trend plus lots more! Lets get into it…
THE POLYESTER PODCAST (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
You've probably seen the thin green line of misogyny (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) - a new wave of infographics peddled by far-right twitter accounts and satirised by practically everyone else, highlighting incel-adjacent theories around gender and feminism. But while these images may be ready made meme material for most of the world; in the manosphere (a term we decode in this episode), these anti-feminist ideologies are growing quickly. Ione and Eden discuss.
Will you be rocking the no pants trend? Upasana Das explores the casual chic trend of Miu Miu in this essay.
The (Bad) Taste Test: What Is the Point of the Razzies? (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Have you heard of the Razzies? Sam Moore takes a look at the award ceremony that puts the spotlight on the ‘worst’ performances in Hollywood.
Layla Caradonna interviews pole dancer, instructor, and stripper Leila Davis on Blackstage (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), sex workers livelihoods, and the constant exclusion and harassment of queer and Black people in the arts.
For this month’s Film Fatale column, Charlotte Amy Landrum explores the ways Sofia Coppola represents girlhood so well on screen.
See ya next week!
XOXO,
The Polyester Team <3
