Happy Thursday, Dolls!
This week we’re chatting to author Margot Douaihy, looking back at Spring Breakers, asking why the girlies love cars and lots more! Let's get into it…
THE POLYESTER PODCAST (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
This week, Ione and Eden are examining the history of how we treat working class aesthetics - from the demonisation of ladette culture, and the knowing irony that so often infiltrates blokecore, to whether this new iteration of popularisation signals the return of a dreaded, populist type of neoliberalism that demonises the working classes at every opportunity.
Spring Breakers and the Radical Teenage Girl (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Amber Rawlings explores Spring Breakers, the Harmony Korine 2010’s modern classic that turned Disney stars into Florida party girls.
Editor Eden Young sits down with author Margot Douaihy to discuss her new queer nun noir book Scorched Grace: A Sister Holiday Mystery.
Let’s Ride: Feminist Revolution or Half-Baked Dissidence? (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Why are all the pop girlies obsessed with cars and motorbikes? Lucy Lawson investigates.
Anita Slater is asking if the influx of ‘digestible’ feminist pop psychology books do more harm good.
See ya next week!
XOXO,
The Polyester Team <3
