105: The Broski Nation School of Fashion and Horror

(phone ringing) - Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski. - Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Damn, I'm on my light and shit, paved the road. Damn, I'm on my towmator, getting towed. Damn, I'm on my dark hudson. Piston cup. (laughing) Guys, welcome back to, hmm, hmm. Hmm, hmm. You guys wouldn't understand. You guys would understand that I just did a sort of Ian Freestyle about the movie cars. - Ultimately, that's for kind of the 1% of Broski Nation. And by 1%, I mean, Minza. I don't mean some, you know, socioeconomic status or pyramid rather. I mean, the 1%, the Minza population of Broski Nation, of which I don't believe there are any. (laughing) Guys, we prove over and over again that we're proud, we're not even touching Minza. We're not coming close to Minza, all right? And let's Google what the fuck do you have to do to be in Minza? Minza International. The largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardized, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence tests. Now that's funny because you know so many bitches online are like, "My chicken IQ test, I'm a genius." Okay, Google literally told me I'm a genius. So can I come to the meeting yes or no? And they're like, "No!" Because you took a Buzzfeed IQ test. You took me, you could come to the meeting. Okay, Google's talking to me. Damn, my mom, my Google shit. Listen in. Damn, my mom, my Lexus shit. Shut up. Damn, my mom, my AI shit. Please stop. (laughing) Damn, my mom, my chat GPT. Kill the world. Okay, guys, Minza International. If anyone in Broski Nation is Minza and I highly doubt it, please guys let me know because I've got some questions. I'd like to, I'd like you to call in. I'd like you to call in and I'd like to ask you some shit. Damn, my mom, my Minza shit. One percent. Sorry, two percent, 98th percentile. I'm actually, I scored the 98th percentile. ♪ I've got walls, call that guy, young phone ♪ That's huge act when singing Boba Boba. ♪ Where's the lady with the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ♪ Okay, moving right along. Next on the target is it's August, guys. I am doing my yearly rewatch of The Corpse Brain. One of my favorite movies ever made. Add it to the yearly rotation. You know, I usually do, and guess what I rewatch recently? Sherlock Holmes, a game of shadows. Yeah, I rewatched it because guess what? I'm teaching myself chess. How is that going? Bad. How is that going? I don't know how to play chess. And I'm not really in the mindset to watch The Queen's Gambit because that would mean I have to absorb new information. Why would I do that when I can just rewatch something I've already seen? You get me? The thing about Game of Shadows is there's this one scene at the very end of the movie where Robert Downey, Jr. is talking to Professor James Murray already. I forget the actor's name, but he's great. And he was in that other movie. You know the one. He, at the end, there's a scene where they're sitting at a chess table and they're going over, you know, that scene at the end of every fucking thriller action movie where they're revealing the big plot or they're revealing the plan or kind of how they pulled a fast one on each other and in doing that, part of the dialogue that the writer wrote in is they're playing, as they're revealing each step, they're also playing chess on the board. Okay, as that happens, someone gets up and then they start mentally playing chess. So he'll be like, so and so, you know, I tried to kill the doctor's wife, Rook to G4 or whatever the fuck the table is. And it's like, rock, it's genius. That sort of, I love shit like it's nerd shit. It's nerd shit where they're playing a game both of life and then an actual game of chess and both are reflecting each other. And it's to the point, Mensa, where they are mentally sparring with each other, where they're verbally saying the chess move. Guys, shit like that impresses me, I'm sorry. I know it's so Hollywood, it's such a movie. That's why we come to the theater. We go to these streaming platforms, the magic. - Me laid up in bed with a pinstripe suit watching Sherlock Holmes a Game of Shadows that came out in 2011. Yeah, that's actually called cinema. It's called the art of appreciating cinema. You wanna know cinema that I recently appreciated for the first time, you guys are gonna be, you guys are gonna yell at what I'm about to say. So just know that I'm bracing for impact and I'm also apologizing upfront, okay? I had never seen Coraline. I watched Coraline for the first time. Bitch, that movie is scary as fuck. That movie is scary. Why does she turn into a big scary spindly spider monster? You know, in the little metal hand, I did like the intro scene. The opening scene is the other mother, or whatever her name is, Belle Dam, which I'm wondering is that a, what is the word? Eniagram, not Eniagram, anagram. Is that anagram where you mix the letters up in a word? If I get this right, you know I'm minza, anagram. A word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another such a cinema formed from Iceman. I'm a genius. Is Belle Dam as a character supposed to be Bedlam? 'Cause Bedlam means like chaos. Come on guys. And I know that from Pierce Brown. 'Cause that motherfucker loves the word Bedlam. Bedlam definition, a scene of uproar and confusion. Yes, dude. Bed, Belle Dam, character, Coraline. God, that's scary as fuck. Look at her. Look at them. Look at her. I cannot believe. She is a malevolent interspatial, shape-shifting witch/fay-entity, who lures children into another dimension with the goal of consuming their flesh. Sure, let's make that a children's movie. And I'll greenlight it. Oh, but that first scene where she crawls into the, she crawls into the little hole. She goes down the hole and she finds her other mother and her other father. And it's just like, it actually made me emotional because I'm like, this is such a universal sentiment that I feel probably all kids have experienced, right? And that's part of, I guess, just growing up, maybe it's an American thing where your parents are so consumed with work that you kind of are like, yeah, I want to play. Like that sort of thing is such a, I was back in like my nine-year-old body like, yeah, and I was like, wow, it made me emotional because to go into this other world, me explaining the plot, essentially, going into this other world where everything is taken care of, dinner is exactly what you want. Your room is perfect. It's just an idealistic world, but obviously the point of Coraline is that she goes back to her real family because nothing is ever as good as it's promised and everything comes with strings, right? Like, I don't know, losing your flesh to an interspatial-fay monster. So you always run that risk, you know, and you run away from home as being eaten by an interspatial-fay monster. The beldum, also known as the other mother and referenced to her motherly disguise is the main antagonist in the 2002 book Coraline as well as the 2009 movie of the same name. Crazy, the animation is so, so good. And you know, I had kind of like a Mandela affection. I thought Coraline was a Tim Burton film, it's not. It's simply not. Coraline's animation style is primarily defined by its stop-motion technique, yeah. It blends handcrafted detail with digital enhancements. The film stop-motion was revolutionary for its time, particularly what, particularly, and its use of 3D and the level of detail. Yes! The work of Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Usugi and invited him to become the concept artist. Usugi's biggest influences were on the color palette, which was muted in the real world. Do you hear like the spaceship passing overhead over my house right now? Some days I think, if I looked up in the sky and saw one of the big fucking monster spaceships from Avengers, I'd be like, sure. I'd be like, oh, it's a routine checkover. Routine passover. 'Cause like, what are, what is supposed to shock me anymore? If I, if I went out to go take my trash out or check my mail and I looked up in the sky and there was a huge star destroyer in the sky, I'd be like, Like, it's probably a drone. You know what I mean? Like, I don't. Another fucking weather balloon. I don't give a shit. I gotta go film the podcast. Like, I just am so, okay. Sure. I went on a, I wouldn't even call it a date recently. And the guy was so fucking nonchalant. I was like, sure. Sure. He goes, we should definitely hang out again. Sure. You make the plan then. Oh, you're not going to? Yeah. Yeah. Go figure. Okay. Anyway. Coral and gagged me, girl. Because, yeah. This idea of being a child not having your needs met and thinking, surely it's better somewhere else. Or like the world that I'm dreaming up in my head, that'll fix everything. Also hilarious in her alternate world. Why be her friend or neighborhood friend? She has him nonverbal. Love that. She said, you could be my friend even though you're a boy, but you can't talk, sadly. So, and it was fine. They communicated exactly how they needed to without him being able to speak. Really beautiful in my eyes. So, I really enjoyed Coral line. I am, I'm on my gothic horror fantasy shit, y'all. I really am down this rabbit hole right now and I'm leaning in early. 'Cause you know already went to Bath & Body Works. I got me some fall candles. You know, I'm already switching my, you know, I'm doing Halloween ambience on the TV. I'm about to get out my pumpkin decorations. I got me a little peanut door. What's that called door mat? It's Snoopy and Charlie Brown. Charles Brown. Chuckie Brown. It's, it's I love this shit. I love this shit. I have to decorate this set. I'm gonna clear all this shit away and it's gonna be. ♪ Is that what's on everywhere ♪ ♪ Is there no way that a good scare ♪ ♪ Is there when we will see ♪ ♪ In the town of Halloween ♪ ♪ This is Halloween ♪ ♪ This is Halloween ♪ Except Hugh Jackman. ♪ Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween ♪ ♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ♪ ♪ La, la, la, la, la, la ♪ Who is the guy that does that on TikTok?

And don't even get me started on how predatory a lot of these Hollywood industries are because they see it and they snatch you up and then they shell view girl. Evil, evil incarnate. Let's go back, let's go back. Ew, dude, the bell damn. I need to know the origin of this name. She is described as a skeleton/arachnid creature. Her age is upwards of 150 years old. A simple deduction. Why is a their mother called Belldom? Oh, T. Okay, this is from AI Overview. In the story Coraline, the other mother is also known as the Belldom. This name is derived from the old English word Belldom, which can mean an old woman, a hag, or even a witch. Trust. Well, bring back Hag. Oh, we need to start calling people Hag. (laughs) An old woman, a hag, or even a witch. The name is significant because it foreshadows the other mother's true nature. Revealing her is a malevolent ancient being rather than a caring parental figure. So, so true. Okay, I need to. Oh, this is what I was gonna say. I've really been on my gothic horror fantasy shit, okay? I am very much, again, okay? It's important to me to keep talking about this because part of my mental process is coming on this podcast. And if I say things to Brosky Nation, I think inherently they will become true because that's how manifestation works. Number one, number two, speak the world that you want into existence. And three, it's almost like if I say it, that makes it real, okay? So with that in mind, I'm going through a shift right now. Beauty wise, self-acceptance wise, all these things, right? You can present as the most confident, self-loving, healed person alive, but at the end of the day, are you? And the reality of that situation is it's an ongoing evergreen process. You are always reinventing yourself and discovering untapped wells within you that only you can unlock. Maybe someone else can open up people, but you have to unlock it. So, something for me right now, I just did a carpet for, I was invited to a variety, event, a variety, power of young Hollywood, say. I mean, Finn Wolfhart, my little brother. We went to this and I worked with my stylist, Kat, and we were trying to pull a look together. And I was like, I'm really into this Gothic, like kind of Renaissance. It kind of fits in with the music a little bit, but kind of like this is just my style. And we pulled together this gorgeous look. And for glam, we were discussing and I was like, I wanna do something that's so not like every carpet. And I think this is just in general too. It's not just Hollywood. Going to an event, going on a date, going out to the club, going out to lunch with your friends, whatever. There is this inherent under the skin desire to be viewed, obviously, male gaze in mind, as desirable or as sexy. And we do certain things to achieve that, whether it's a snatched waste, whether it's, you know, doing your makeup a certain way, whether it's picking a fragrance that, you know, all of these things, right? The patriarchy just permeates every decision that a woman or Finn presenting person has to consider. And I am attempting, and I would say I've been successful absolutely in the majority of letting go of that shit. Dressing for what I think is cool, what I really like, what I think is high fashion, what I think is deeply artful. And all of these things kind of come to a head when it comes to an event like, you know, this variety event where we pulled this look together and bitch, I felt stunning. And we did a makeup look that was strange. I came in with the reference of like 1930s, that's kind of my go-to, because I have that eye shape. And I'm tired of trying to snatch my, you know, all these things like a thick brow with the overdrawn lips and the snatched eyeliner and just black everywhere. It's like, you don't need to do all that. You're hiding behind that. And what I am endeavoring to do is enhance how already bold my features are. There's a power in that I wanna look like a cartoon. Like I really do, I think that there's something really interesting and unique about that. And especially, oh my God, I love Meenali on YouTube. I'm just talking shit now. I love Meenali on YouTube. She really, I would say she influences me. She influences my way of thinking. I think she is so deeply intelligent. She has such great takes on things. And I watched this video recently that really makes you think, man, about the death of personal style. And how obviously I'm not gonna try to repeat what she said, but there are so many factors that go into who we are as people and how we choose to express ourselves through dress and through makeup and through presentation. And of course, the big albatross around the neck there is both capitalism, consumerism and the patriarchy. All three of those things influence everything. You think you're making a decision for yourself. You're not. A question has been made for you by 40 marketing executives in a room where it's like even these things that make me feel like an individual or like I am connecting to a part of myself through buying this thing, that is an empty endeavor. And we're all guilty of it. I shop, I love to shop, but that doesn't equate to really being in touch with and knowing who you are and what you like and what's the most authentic for you if all you're doing is chasing trends. Even on Pinterest, you know, like I love Pinterest, that shit is so overrun with ads that by the time I find something I like when I'm trying to put it on a board, it's an app. Like I think Mina really puts an emphasis, or at least she used to, I know her style has kind of changed. She puts an emphasis on obviously thrifting and buying vintage and second hand. And for a second, that was really her thing. And she loves the thirties kind of the way that I do. Like very vintage, inspired dress. And you know, it gets to a level with that too, where it starts to become kind of costuming and I went through that pandemic. I dress like I was from the '60s and I had this favorite brand called, I used to do pin up girl vintage or pin up girl, pin up girl clothing, I think is what it was called. And then unique vintage. And then Laura Burns, those were all three different like designers and stores that I used to love because they made vintage style clothes for plus size bodies period and they were well made it wasn't this cider she and team you shit well made long pants that were lined and it wasn't that you know thin cheap linen it was like very well made this was also when fine line had just come out so hairy was doing he was dressing like a grandpa and I was dressing like a grandpa. I would draw on the twiggy lashes I would do the big you know a bell sleeve tops I was I honestly look back and I'm like I see the vision maybe the execution wasn't great but I was so inspired by the 60s and 60s fashion and like I was on Pinterest putting in hours on Pinterest every day trying to curate a look and I would go thrifting and I would look for that shit there was just grandma clothes and I would wear it because I saw the beauty in it. Then you know it ebbs and flows you go back to kind of dressing for the mail gaze and then you tap in it yeah what the fuck am I doing this shit ugly and then I go back to like what's actually really cool and it's cool over the years because I was what 22 23 around that time now I just turned 28 damn and it's cool to now have settled on something of like I know what I appreciate from that era and there are certain things from that era that would compliment my features or you know my body type or whatever. But now it's like I found something better and that's so exciting and I'm the 30s not so much the dress but the approach to glam which is almost this tragic cartoonish womanly beauty that is just so soft but dramatic it's very dramatic the downturned eyes the like you know wanting shape of the eyebrows everything was really thin the lips were dramatized but not overdrawn it was just stunned so for this carpet that's what we decided to do and I came in with the reference of like I want to do a 30s beat like really dramatic downturned eyes shadow really thin brows and then the blush to connect to the I look and my makeup artist Tammy is so hugging period Tammy oh somebody yes she beat me she beat me she beats me on set not clickbait she beat that shit down I felt so cool I was also off the edible at that event so my eyes are kind of glazed over in the photos in the getty's not much I can do about it I was floating somewhere over there all right they were like pretty pretty pretty I'm somewhere over there man I'm talking to Drew way down the carpet right now but you're taking my photo right now I just love shit like that something interesting that is of note I guess is that I'm able to recognize there is like I'm saying this artful quality to pulling references from vintage things those things are not the BBL baddie that is on Instagram and there's something off the beaten path and a bit maybe it can be considered unattractive about it and I'm to a point in my life where I can genuinely say that doesn't bother me in fact I encourage it we spend our whole lives wondering am I attractive do I look attractive is what I'm doing attractive is everything life is so much bigger and wider than seeking validation for an external thing that quite honestly is out of your control you can try to control it but that only get you so far before you start endangering your life you know you'll know how I feel about getting work done and whatever and to each their own but I think no one is more unique looking and beautiful than you as you are and the features you were born with and accentuate that I want to see more drama on these carpets I'm tired of seeing a body con dress with a a mink lash and a slick back bun I don't want to see it I'm bored everyone's boring give me a perspective give me something artful bitch and let me while I'm on this topic started

of my life I never thought I would get to have five six years ago when I was normal but I was working a normal job is working with a stylist you always hear oh my stylist this my stylist that when celebrity talk about that shit dude my stylist cat to polo she is a living living breathing genius the collaborative spirit that we both have when we get in a room together we we kind of she compliments me and I compliment her and we get to this place that the look is always cool it's fun maybe it takes a risk but inherently across the board it's always me and it's always cohesive with you know if I'm doing a look for the variety event it's gonna be there's a through line through all the carpets that I've done through you know maybe the music how we dressed for the music with the drapery and with the color pallets everything is so intentional and I love that about the process and about it every detail matters down to you know if you're doing tiny little diamond stud earrings that's intentional because it's part of the look and it's because we're muting that because something else is bigger and that deserves more attention it's but like everything should even be like you're getting your toes done right yeah yes you don't want my yellow brown toenails out of the carpet bitch fuck you this is how I'm built the chillic that it's so important every single detail of a look so in that vein I kind of have my experience also just my love for drag like I've been watching drag race since I was 14 I watch the judges critiques I used to love project runway growing up I wasn't really an America's next top model girl because I was thought it was kind of mean and and crazy which and like but it's one of these things where you have to respect it it's how the industry is this is how modeling is you need to get used to it if you want to be a model and it's like hey you want to be on top Maybe I don't want to be on top. Maybe I want to be treated like a human with a human body. But Project Runway, to me, was always me and my mom, the, uh, Project Runway, because wow. And to listen to the judges' critiques and also to go back on some of the older seasons and watch and think, oh, how times change? And I do believe there is an evergreen taste level to the Project Runway judges, obviously, like Nina Garcia, Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, uh, and who was on it for the longest time? Was it Michael Kors or Kelvin Klein? It's like, of course, these people know what they're talking about. And part of fashion is being transient and being able to change with the times. And fashion is always seeking something new and interesting and revolutionary and how many different ways infinite possibilities of creating a silhouette and an interesting combination of textures and fabrics and materials and true creativity, which is why I love the drag race design challenges. Like true creativity, you are given 48 hours to use these unconventional, non-conventional materials to construct something that could go down a runway. And quite honestly, it's better than some of the shit that goes down the runway during fashion weeks. So wow, I've always had such a deep respect for the drag community and the inherent groundbreaking creativity that comes from an environment and a show like that. Project Runway is just a different side of the same coin to me of these are for real the best of the best. And of course, that's, you have to have a certain mindset to want to go on a show like Project Runway. I'm not saying Project Runway is the best of the best of young designers, not even young, just designers in the world. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the level of art, history that you see on Project Runway sometimes just gags and it's even more fun when it doesn't. 'Cause you get to be a fashion critic. I feel like Andre Leon Talley. I do and let me, okay, I have so much to say. I've been to all, there's only three episodes up right now. I think another one comes out this week. My love, Miss Utica Queen is on this season. Half the reason I started watching. From Drag Race and he is so just like, the attention to detail on the polish is amazing. And he's thinking about it obviously from already having been in a competition that is so high stakes. And it's so honestly like team-oriented, Drag Race can be because you have to work in teams. It's kind of a similar structure. But some of the looks that I've seen so far on this season, I'm like, some of them are ready to wear ready to walk down the runway, just truly stunning, unbelievable. I loved, Jesus did a look for the Athleture episode. It was stunning, all the judges were like, and as it came down the runway, I was like, oh, love. And then all the judges loved it. That's always a fun thing when you're like, I like that one. And then the judges are like, this was the best one. I'm like, yes. But sometimes I like stuff that the judges rip apart. And I'm like, you know what? To each their own. If it's interesting, and I do think flattering is a part of this conversation. But sometimes an art piece of a garment isn't always flattering, but here's what I love, okay? La Roche, a god to me. La Roche is a god to me. If you don't know, La Roche is in Daya's stylist. He's an image architect. He created that term just like truly one of the most. The word that comes to mind is anointed. Just anointed in his purpose of fashion. An art and living, breathing art because that's what fashion is. Fashion is fun, it's experimental, it is political, it's boundary pushing. All these things like La Roche understands that and communicates that and his critiques come from that place. And the episode season 21, episode three, that's what I just watched last night. The challenge was y'all are going to be given ugly boring material and it is your job as two separate teams to come up with a cohesive line made of this boring material that is wearable. And the winner, it was going to have their look worn by Sofia Vergara. Well, one of the materials is this like as they describe it, boring gray wool. And then the other team gets denim. And so the denim team is freaking out. Yes, denim, because denim is, you know, it's classic. So many things can be done with denim. Wool is a bit more bitch. They pulled it off so well that it was all the garments were so beautifully constructed. They killed it, I mean, with wool, a lot of them were kind of a business silhouette. And the denim team lost, it was all over the fucking place. And La Roche is sitting there that he's just observing and everyone's talking and it gets to him. It's time for his critiques. And he goes, I didn't come on this show to look at a bunch of ugly fucking clothes. I didn't. I'm sorry. This shit is ugly. And I go, oh my god. Oh my god, he's a god to me. He's a god to me. To have that level of candid, he goes, you don't get a participation medal for coming on this show. It has to be good. That's what the show is about. There's a winner. And I'm like, wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Because that's how you get better. Every opportunity where I have truly failed at something and decided to attempt it again or do it better, it's been for the betterment of myself as a person. And that is true for every person. If you fail at something, odds are the next time you try again, it's gonna be better. Just objectively, it's gonna be better because you know what you did wrong. That for me, learning in school was one of the pillars of my curiosity for learning and for life is if I got a bad grade on a test, I'm studying the ones I got wrong until they're burned into my brain because I can't believe I got that wrong. You know, there's definitely a bit of ego to it of like being gifted and talented student and how that kind of rots your brain. But that shit, like when I get something wrong on a test, I would only study those. And then you get better and you learn. And now forever, you know that shit. So with Law Roach judging and offering critiques, I think his advice is the most listen to him, girl. Because you know, love Nina Garcia. I love Heidi and they definitely are fashion experts, but there's something about Law Roach. I just, I think I'd freak the fuck out if I ever met Law Roach. Like I just think he's a genius. So yeah, but Project Runway, wow. Wow, some of the looks Utica did a look for the first episode where it was based on Disney princesses and Disney villains. Hey, I'm locked the fuck in. I'm paying attention. Disney princesses was one team flop. The second team was villains, they nailed it. They killed it, knocked it out of the park. Utica did a look that was this gorgeous dress, or maybe it was like a jumpsuit. It was a top and a bottom with this cool plunging V, but it was two plunging B's. And on top, it was a cape. But the cape connected at the head, bitch. It connected at the head. And as she walked down the runway, the movement in the fabric and the way it caught the wind was so stunning, it took my breath away. I have to wear that. Wow, I need to wear that. Maybe I needed to teach myself how to sew. I was gagged. I put it on my story. It was so good. I'm just like that shit where if I'm watching something and it moves me, that's like, oh my god, really stunt. I also watched this YouTube video recently on the Mason Margella Pat McGrath runway show from 2024, where they were kind of exploring the inspirations for it and how they achieved that glass skin, porcelain doll skin that Pat McGrath did just-- I mean, it's going to be studied. That's fashion history. Gwendolyn Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, she's a very tall woman, very beautiful and very fashion conscientious fashion, she walked in it and it was stunning because I'm finally-- obviously, I don't know where we are as a whole, but seeing these trends in the high fashion spaces where they're starting to incorporate a variety of bodies and a variety of beauty. And that, to me, is going to sell the clothes way more than a skinny tall white body ever could. And it's like, wow, I want to see this art on a canvas that can properly showcase it. And no, no, hey, did the skinny girls? No, hey, but wow, to see, especially like a Margella John Geliano, peace on a body. that doesn't look like a mannequin is just amazing and it really brings it to life in a way that is so deeply respectable. And so I watched this whole video on that of the inspirations and the experiments that they did with the makeup. And it's just what a fun. For people that say like fashion isn't important or it's a waste of time, you would never understand. You would never understand. Fashion is part of the human experience. We define generations and time periods. The clothing is just as important as the politics of the time, of the art and culture of the time, all of it's intertwined, how we express ourselves through dress. And that's reflective of what's allowed at the time, what's encouraged. It reflects how the people feel about themselves. When you go back to like 1700s, Napoleon or all these monarchs or aristocats, all these aristocats of the time, menus to wear high heels and wigs because it made them feel a certain way, right? There's a power that comes with walking in a heel or placing something on your head to signify you are important or you have the right to take up space here. All these things like fashion tells human history. It's a part of art history and it's a part of human history. So all these things combined, it seems silly when you take it out of context and think, you know, how does a fashion house have so much sway or why do people give a shit so much? Why is the Met Gala as important as it is? All these things, it's like, you'd never understand. You'd never get it. And I'm not going to be the one to explain it to you. And it also has to come from a deep rooted place of curiosity and interest in fashion and all the nuances of fashion, what works best for you, what might be topically trendy doesn't necessarily mean that that is the right decision for you. Also, we live in an age now. Again, please go watch Meena Lee's videos on fashion because she gags me. She can articulate this better than I ever could. COVID changed everything in terms of 24 hour trends, like these micro trends where by the time you're she in order comes in of your cardigan with bows on it, we've already moved on to something else. So might as well just drop that off a goodwill. These goodwill's overrun with fashion Nova and she in. It's just like, come on, come on guys. It's really upsetting because well-made garments, I mean, they're still being made. There are young designers everywhere. People just can't afford it. They cannot afford well-made, ethical, sustainably sourced clothing. And it's pitiful to be honest. And it really is detrimental for the environment. It's just, you know who I feel about it. OK. Meena makes these great video essays on her most recent one that I watched that I was like, God, she's a genius. She challenged herself. And it was also a kind of commentary on how transient we are as people and how we're always changing. And this was kind of that brought to life of she used to dress very eccentricly. And there's an identity factor wrapped up in that. You know, who am I? And how do I express that through my dress? How I dress? And she goes on to say, I tried for two weeks, or maybe one week, to only wear a black skirt, a black top, a white skirt, a white top. And she was referencing how a school uniform, or this concept of a uniform, is maybe freeing in a way that dressing for yourself or dressing to impress or dressing for attention is not freeing. You're almost more shackled to that than you are to just be like, here's a uniform. Maybe all you switch up is accessories. But it's fun to pull references from all these different things that I like that honestly are not cohesive. If I'm pulling shit from gothic horror that I like, and also ballet, and also like Sherlock Holmes, and also country because I'm from Texas, and also this, that the other, so many competing muses, and they don't always fit together, but it's fun to try. And it's fun to, the more you learn, mold that into what is inherently Britney. Damn, my mama, Britney shit, oops, I shit again. Right. Damn, my mama, my lightning shit, paved the road. That was cry, and you know, that was off the dome. I freestyled that at the beginning of the episode. I freestyled that because that's how much of a mince I am. Man, so cool. Damn, my mama, my Britney shit, oops, I shit again. Anyway, I'm doing this thing now where I were, I were, I bought these ugly fucking, I bought these ugly shoes. I'm going to pop a picture up here and these shit aren't, they came in the mail, I said, what the fuck? What the fuck? And I can't return them, I got them on sale. They are these slightly healed pink ballet lace up, like, just way too ambitious for a shoe about them, of course, because I was looking for a high-heeled ballet flat. With ribbons, I wanted it to look like a point shoe that I could wear with everything. Well, girl, my foot's so damn big, I look, I look like Tweety Bird. I'm bald-headed, big blue eyes and I've got big fucking feet. I look like Tweety, dude, I tried these shoes on, I looked at the mirror, I said, shit. I got mad, I can't return them and I got two. I got one that's a high-heeled pair with ribbons that lace up your thing and then I got just normal pink and it's not the right color pink, it's pissing me off. It's more salmon colored. You're going to put salmon on a skin tone like mine. I look like I have a disease. I look like SpongeBob when he had the suds. I truly, I got these in the mail and I got it. I try them on, I'm going to make them work. I'm going to make them work. Also, both of them, way too big for my feet, awesome. Sure, why not? I'm going to make it work. You can put those little heel things in the back for shoes that are a bit too loose. I did that, they fit okay. And so I have this vision in my head plan of like, I've got this sort of, who's that little French girl? Who's that little French girl? Lily Rose Depp. Madeline, Madeline. Wasn't she like a Coraline adjacent? Madeline. Madeline, French book. Yeah, cartoon. Yes, her giving very that, giving this. A little blouse or dress that's giving that little Peter Pan collar, maybe long sleeve, very fitted, a white skirt or a black mini skirt, tights, maybe pink tights, like ballet tights, and then these fuck ass shoes. That was what was in my head. And I'm pinning it on Pinterest. I'm doing all this and I haven't put it on yet because I know it's going to piss me off. It's going to be ugly. I'm going to look like a salmon. I'm going to look like a salmon in French class and that's going to piss me to fuck off. So I'm doing these. Look, you have to have some flops to have some wins. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I wanted to ask Rosky Nation. If I'm on my Edward Gory shit, if I'm on my like Corp's pride, Coraline, Frank and Weenie, Edward Gory, give me some recommendations in that realm of like fantasy, gothic horror, doesn't have to be animated, but preferably would be. Let me know, 'cause I know I've got some spooky bitches in the comments. Let me know on that because on the flip side, I've recently gotten into hammer horror. Y'all, shit's cooking in my brain, okay? Hammer horror is, it was a film studio, Hammer Productions, which was a British film studio started, I believe, in the '20s and '30s. And in the '50s and '60s, they made these really important horror films. And some women became popular or famous from being hammer horror girls, where it was like recurring women in these roles. It's like brides of Dracula, something cursed to the werewolf, Frankenstein. It's like all that in that realm, but it's from the '50s and '60s. So of course, the production value is crazy. And it's like these weird drop bats. And you know, it just looks horrible, but there's a campiness to it that I really like. So I watched brides of Dracula, how is locked the fuck in? That shit was kind of scary. Yeah, so, oh my God, I recently rewatched Nosferatu. You will bounce on it. Damn, I'm on my british shit. Nosferatu. Yeah, rewatched Nosferatu, it holds up. Lily Rose Depp, performance of her life. And Robert Eggers is doing the fucking, where we'll film with Taylor Johnson and Lily Rose Depp. You bet you're fucking ass. Robert Eggers, if you need me on that carpet, you let me know I'm coming in where we'll cosplay. I'm coming in where we'll cosplay, and I'm doing full bush. I'm doing full bush all over the body, where wolf cosplay. And for the Odyssey, Christopher Nolan premiere, I'm coming dressed as Odysseus. I'm coming shirtless in a toga, full beard, and I'm doing my thing barefoot on the carpet, nipples out. Let me know, Christopher Nolan. I know you watch. I know you watch this. Okay? And you know what? I didn't go to the Oppenheimer premiere, and that's probably for the best, because Oppenheimer was a very important movie to me. That is the recipe for a Britney Brosky hyperfixation. That type of fucking movie, that nerd shit, I love, I love, when this, you know, the movie theater over here by my house, they're already selling tickets to the Odyssey. It, I don't even know if they've released a premiere date. But sometime next year, like early, or mid to late next year, shit's already sold out. Fuck you bitches, you know I wanted to go, you know I wanted to see an iMacs, you're haters, you hate me. I truly, there are very few, like actual, that's a lie, I was gonna say, there's very few things that I actually geek out about, that's a complete lie. That is a total and complete but faced lie. Maybe the, the phrase is bold faced lie, and I, and I've been saying butt faced. But faced lie, bare faced lie, bald faced lie, but what the fuck? The phrase butt faced lie is a misspelling of bald faced lie, or bold faced lie. This, these terms describe a blatant shameless and unapologetic lie that's often told without any attempt to conceal the deception. Okay, bald faced? Me, bald faced, tricksy. Me when I'm a bald faced hoe. Anyway, I think that the werewolf, is that what it's, it's being called, werewolf cursive? Oh dude, I'm not gonna be normal when that shit comes out. I am not going to be normal, arguably I don't know if I'm ever normal, but I'm gonna, you're gonna hear about that movie on this podcast, you're gonna hear about that shit. What the actual fuck have I been talking about for 54 minutes? I could not tell you. I don't know what I've been talking about. Wow. Okay, sure. Let's get into my songs of the week. Oh my god, hold on, I have to tell you guys about my new favorite fragrance. I'm not a floral girl, y'all know that about me. There are a few exceptions I have. Do Sun by Dip Teak is my number one exception. I love that fucking fragrance. Do Sun by Dip Teak. Number two, I love Florgasm by Heretic Parfum, which is kind of a similar DNA to Do Sun, bitch. Heretic just released these florals. I forget what they're called, they're like midnight something. In this little sample set is a fragrance called Pistol Whip, hilarious, right? Pistol like, 'cause it's in a flower. But pistol whip, like hitting someone with the butt of a gun, ultimately that's funny and to play on words. Pistol whip is a floral, but it's creamy. I can't even describe it to you. I can read it to you. Pistol whip, Heretic Notes. And guys, the diarrhea is churning, I hate to tell you. Here are the notes for Pistol Whip. I am addicted to this fragrance. Also, I've started picking perfume for the season. I've started picking perfume that, like, okay, if you love Killian, Killian fragrances, you can't always wear year round. Like Angel Shayer, that's a very tobacco, cinnamon, warm winter. If you're wearing a Gormonde in the summer, oh, that makes me nauseous to even think about. Like that Gormonde mixed with just body sweat, I can't do it. So a fragrance like a floral or a clean fragrance or like any androgynous, I think that's the best for hot months. Pistol whip, here are the notes, oh, three of my favorite things, top notes, pink pepper, bergamot, coriander. The heart is tubarose, tiarae, gardenia, lang lang, Moroccan rose, and I don't like rose. Okay, so if you're going to do rose and make me like it, it's got to be very subtle like that. And then the base, of course, is vettiver, black tea, absolute, and ilamai, girl, I'm addicted. I don't know what it is that makes it creamy, but it's really, really good. Lush petals open while notes of rain and wet stone add dimension to this hypnotic masterpiece, gag. Yeah, that's been why, obsession lately, also they have one called midnight toker. That's another winter fragrance, y'all. Wow, if you're into like tobacco, vanilla, any of those notes in that realm, but like it's got smoke in it. It smells like smoke. I can't even tell you, and it's, it's, heretic does it very well where it's a balance of every single one of them is androgynous, every single one. It's amazing how they do it. And midnight toker is one that's like, yeah, anyone can wear this. It's really beautiful. Here are my songs of the week we're going to do moon over Montana by Jimmy Wakeley. I'm on my scary shit. Damn, I'm on my scary shit. Next is come and go by yeet. I love yeet. Y'all know I love yeet. And then fuck with you by Don Tolliver. I love Don Tolliver. I love Don Tolliver. If I ever saw Don Tolliver live, I'd freak the fuck out. All right, all next week we're going to discuss the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, and also keep you updated on my chest journey. If you want merch, go to broskey.shop and be on the lookout for something later this year. If you want to stream my music, just do it. All right, there's only two or three songs out. It's not Don Tolliver, you know. Go listen if you want. And then go watch The Corpse Bread. It's great. It holds up. Victor! Victor, where are you? Team, bye.
