Brittany Broski
Foreign. From the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California, this is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski. Damn, I'm on my lightning pave the road Damn, I'm on my tow material getting told. Damn, I'm on my Doc Hudson Piston Cup. Guys, welcome back to. 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 Minsa. I don't mean some, you know, socioeconomic status or pyramid, rather, I mean the 1%, the Mensa population of Broski Nation, of which I don't believe there are any. Guys, we prove over and over again that we're pro. We're not even touching Mensa. We're not coming close to Mensa. All right, and let's Google, what the fuck do you have to do to be in mensa? Minsa 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 test. Now, that's funny, because, you know, so many online are like, I took an 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 doesn't mean you can come to the meeting. Okay? Google's talking to me. Damn my mama. Google shit. Listen in. Damn my mama Alexa shit. Shut up. Damn, I'm on my AI. Shit. Please stop. Damn, I'm on my chat. GPT. Kill the world. Okay, guys, Mint International. If anyone in Broski Nation is men and I. 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. Damn my mama minsa. 1%. Sorry, 2%. 98th percentile. I'm actually. I scored in the 98th percentile. I've got Rog fun. That's Hugh Jackman singing Bo Ma. Okay, moving right along. Next on the docket is, it's August, guys. I am doing my yearly rewatch of the Corpse Bride, one of my favorite movies ever made. Add it to the yearly rotation. You know, I usually do. And guess what I rewatched recently? Sherlock Holmes, a Game of Shadows. 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. 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 is this one scene at the very end of the movie where Robert Downey Jr. Is talking to Professor James Moriarty, who. 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 part thriller action movie where they're revealing the big plot or they're revealing the plan or. Or kind of how they pulled a fast one on each other. And in doing that, part of the dialogue that the. 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. Then they start mentally playing chess. So he'll be like, so and so. You know, I. I tried to kill the doctor's wife. Rook to G4, or whatever the fuck the table is. And it's like, fuck, 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. 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. That's why we come to the theater. We go to these streaming platforms for 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 want to know cinema that I recently appreciated for the. You guys are going to be. You guys are going to yell at what I'm about to say. So just know that I'm bracing for impact. And I'm also apologizing up front. 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, the little metal hand. I did like the intro scene. The opening scene is the other mother or whatever her name is, Beldam, which I'm wondering, is that a. What is the word Enneagram? Not enneagram. Anagram. Is that anagram where you mix the letters up in a word? If I get this right, you know, I'm Mensa anagram. A word, phrase or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as cinema. Formed from Iceman. Ice. I'm a genius. Is Beldam as a character supposed to be Bedlam? Because bedlam means like chaos. Come on, guys. And I know that from Pierce Brown because that motherfucker loves the word bedlam. Bedlam. Definition, a scene of uproar and confusion. Yes, dude. Beldam character, Coraline. God, that's scary as fuck. Look at her. Them look at her. I cannot believe she is a malevolent, interspatial, shape shifting witch slash Fae 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. You, dinner is exactly what you want. Your room is perfect. You know this, that 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 Fae monster. So you always run that risk, you know, when you run away from home, is being eaten by an interspatial fey monster. The Beldam, also known as the Other Mother, in reference 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 what's. I had kind of like a Mandela effect. Shit. 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's stop motion was revolutionary for its time, particularly. What? Particularly in 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. Because, like, what. What is supposed to shock me anymore if I look, 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, 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 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, Coraline gagged me, girl, because, yeah, this idea of being a child, not having your needs met and. 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, Wybie, her friend, her neighborhood friend. She has him nonverbal. Love that. She said, you can 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 Coraline. 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 because, you know, I already went to Bath and 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 peanuts door. What's that called? Doormat. It's Snoopy and Charlie Brown. Charles Brown, Chucky Brown. I love this shit. I love this shit. I have to decorate the set. I'm gonna clear all this shit away and it's gonna be everywhere without a good scare. And we will see. In the town of Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. Except Hugh Jackman, who is the guy that does that on TikTok. It's the funniest shit I've ever seen. He did American Requiem by Beyonce. I laughed so hard I cried. He's so funny. There is such untapped talent 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 shelve you, girl. Evil. Evil incarnate. Let's go back. Let's go back. Ew, dude. The beldam. 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 Other Mother called Beldam? Oh, t. Okay, this is from AI Overview. In the story Coraline, the Other mother is also known as the Beldam. This name is derived from the old English word beldam, which can mean an old woman, a hag, or even a witch. Trust. Bring back hag. Oh, we need to start calling people hags. An old woman, a hag, or even a witch. The name is significant because it foreshadows the Other Mother's true nature, revealing her as a malevolent ancient being rather than a caring parental figure. So, so true. Okay, I need to. Oh, this is what I was going to say. I've really been on my. 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 Broski Nation, I. 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, my. I'm going through a shift right now. Beauty wise Self acceptance wise, all these things, right? Like 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, you know, open a peephole, 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, Variety power of young Hollywood slay. Me and Finn Wolfhard, 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 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 want to 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 waist, 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 femme presenting person has to consider. And I am attempting, and I. 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, like, 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 in. Oh, my God, I love mina Lee on YouTube. I'm just talking shit now. I love mina Lee 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. 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. That decision has been made for you BY, you know, 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. And I'm like, I think Mina really puts an emphasis, or at least she used to. I know her style's kind of changed. She puts an emphasis on obviously thrifting and buying vintage and secondhand. And for a second, that was really her thing. And she loves the 30s 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 costumey. And I went through that in the Pandemic. I dressed like I was from the 60s and. And I had this favorite brand called I used to do Pinup Girl vintage or Pinup Girl Pinup 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 sheen 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 Harry 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, 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. That 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 male gaze, and then you tap in it, yeah, what the fuck am I doing? This shit's ugly. And then I go back to, like, what's actually really cool. And it's cool over the years because I was, what, 20, 20, 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 complement my features or 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 such a 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 eye look. And my makeup artist, Tammy is so fucking period. Tammy Ill. 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 Gettys. Not much I can do about it. I was floating somewhere over there. All right. They were like, really? Really? 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 if, 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'll only get you so far before you start endangering your life. You know, y' all 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 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 Project Runway. Oh, we're so back. This episode is sponsored by zocdoc.

Hungryroot.com Broski code Broski a joy 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 celebrities talk about that shit, dude. My stylist, Kat Tapaldos, 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 going to be. There's a through line through all the carpets that I've done through, you know, maybe the music, how we dress for the music, with the drapery and with the color palettes. 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. She'll even be like, you're getting your toes done, right? Oh, yes. Yes. You don't want my yellow brown toenails out of the carpet, bitch. Fuck you. This is how I'm built. That shit like 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, where it's like I. I watch the judges critiques. I used to love Project Runway. Growing up, I wasn't really in America's Next Top Model girl, because I always thought Tyranny Banks was kind of mean 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, ew. 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 loved 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. Duh, Heidi Klum. And who was on it for the longest time? Was it Michael Kors or Calvin 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 is better than some of the shit that goes down the Runway during Fashion Week. 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 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 because you get to be a fashion critique. I feel like Andre Leon Talley. I do. And let me. Okay. I have so much to say. I binged all. There's only three episodes up right now. I think another one comes out this week. My love. Ms. 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 and the polish is amaze. And he's thinking about it, obviously from already having been in a competition that is so high stakes and is 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 athleisure episode. It was stunning. All the judges were like. And I. 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 Roach a God to me. La Roach is a God to me. If you don't know, La Roach is Zendaya'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 and 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 they're episodes Season Season 21, episode 3. 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 gonna 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 Rocha's sitting there, and 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 this show is about. There's a winner. And I'm like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Because that's how you get better. You know what I mean? 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's. That is true for every person. If you fail at something, odds are the next time you try again, it's going to be better. Just objectively, it's going to be better. Because you know what you did wrong? That for me, learning in school was one of the. The kind of 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 as well, of, like, being a gifted and talented student and how that kind of rots your brain. But that shit, like, when I would 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 La Roche judging and offering critiques, I think his advice is the most. Listen to him, girl, because, you know, love Nina Garcia and 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 La Roach. Like, I just think he's a genius. So. Yeah. But Project Runaway. 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 bees. And on top, it was a cape, but the cape connected at the head. 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. I lit it, took my Breath away. I. I have to wear that. Wow. I need to wear that. Maybe I need 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 Margiela 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 gonna 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 like fashion. Conscientious. Conscientious of 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 more like a variety of bodies and a variety of beauty, and that to me is gonna sell the clothes way more than a skinny, tall, white body ever could. And it's like, wow. I wanna see this artist on a canvas that can properly showcase it, you know, and no hate to the skinny girls. No hate. But wow. To see especially like a Margiela John Galliano piece 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, you know, Napoleon or these, all these monarchs or aristocrats. Aristocats, all these aristocats of the time, men used 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, 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 Mina 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 your 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 at Goodwill. These Goodwill's overrun with fashion. Nova and Shein. 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 how I feel about it. Okay? Mina makes these great video essays on. She did 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 eccentrically. 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, you know, mold that into what is inherently Britney. Damn, I'm on my Britney shit. Oops, that shit again, right? Damn, I'm on 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 mensa I am. Minsa core. Damn, I'm on my British. Yups. I shut again. Anyway, I'm doing this thing now where I wear. I wear. I bought these ugly fucking. I bought these ugly shoes. I'm gonna pop a picture up here. These shits are. 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 heeled pink ballet lace up like just way too ambitious for a shoe. I bought them, of course, because I was looking for a high heeled ballet flat with ribbons. I wanted it to look like a pointe 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 in the mirror, I said, sh. I got mad, I can't return them. And I got two. I got one that's a high heel, 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 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 go, I tried them on. I'm gonna make them work. I'm gonna make them work also. Both of them way too big for my feet. Awesome. Sure, why not? I'm gonna 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 planned of like I've got this sort of. Who's that little French girl? Who's that little French girl? Lily Rose Depp. Who's that little French girl? 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. A black mini skirt. Tights, maybe pink tights, like ballet tights and then these 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 and 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, the offense. So I'm doing these. Look, you have to have some flops to have some wins. Yeah. Oh, I wanted to ask Rosky Nation if I'm on my Edward Gorey shit. If I'm on my, like Corpse Bride, Coraline, Frankenweenie, Edward Gorey shit, 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 because 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 a. 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. Curse of 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. I was 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 Britney shit. Nosferatu. Yeah. Rewatch notes for auto. It holds up Lily Rose Depp performance of her life. And Robert Eggers is doing the fucking werewolf film with Aaron Taylor Johnson and Lily Rose Depp. You bet your fucking ass, Robert Eggers. If you need me on that carpet, you let me know. I'm coming in werewolf cosplay. I'm coming in werewolf cosplay and I'm doing full bush. I'm doing full bush all over the body. Werewolf cosplay for the Robert Eggers premiere and for the Odyssey. Christopher Nolan premiere mirror. 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. That is the recipe for a Britney Brosi hyper fixation. 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. It's 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 iMax. Y' all are 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 butt faced lie. Maybe the. The phrase is bold faced lie. And I. And I've been saying butt faced, butt faced lie, Bare faced lie, bald faced lie. Bull. 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 Trixie me. When I'm a bald faced hoe. Anyway, I think that the werewolf. Is that what it's being called? Werewolf Curse of the. 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 going to 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 Doon by Diptyque is my number one exception. I love that fucking fragrance. Dosun by Diptyque. Number two, I love Florgasm by Heretic Parfum, which is kind of a similar DNA to Dosun. 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, because it's in a flower, but Pistol Whip, like hitting someone with the butt of a gun. Ultimately, that's funny and it's a 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 Share. That's a very tobacco Cinnamon. Warm winter if you're wearing a gourmand in the summer. Oh, that makes me nauseous to even think about. Like that gourmand mixed with just body sweat and mud. I can't do it. So a fragrance, like a floral or a clean fragrance, or like an 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 tuberose, tiare, gardenia, ylang Ylang. 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 vetiver black tea absolute and Ilamay girl, I'm addicted to. 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 my 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. 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 Wakely. 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 Toliver. I love Don Toliver. I love Don Toliver. If I ever saw Don Oliver live, I'd freak the out. All right, y', all, next week we're going to discuss the difference between art nouveau and art deco. And also keep you updated on my chess journey. If you want merch, go to Broski 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. I don't care. You know, Go listen if you want and then go watch the Corpse Bride. It's great. It holds up. Victor. Victor, where are you? All right, team, bye.
