You're Beautiful (no matter what they say)
Manage episode 400071322 series 2907557
We're baaaack! And we're feeling FIT, while also reassuring you that it's what's inside that counts.
Kasia and Dan return with a new series, where today we're talking about the beauty industry, vanity and gender, and - following a Cursed Objects outing to the Wellcome Collection's new exhibition The Cult of Beauty - early modern German wife-prettying windmill technology.
From the masterful make-up artists of Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star to the hall of rubbish mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, this episode has it all. We also hear about the beauty industry exhibits in the Museum of Transology – as liberatory objects that affirm a sense of self in a culture that would too often deny it to trans people.
Also: if pretty privilege is really a thing, shouldn’t the parliamentary Conservative Party be a party of hotties?
