Pay Equity Now! With Costume Designers Ariyela Wald-Cohain and Whitney Anne Adams

Did you know that costume designers, the majority of whom are women, are paid nearly 30 percent less than other, male-dominated creative department heads? Despite costume design being a pivotal part of storytelling in cinema, it has been historically dismissed as "women's work," leading to the artisans being underpaid and under-appreciated in their industry. In this very special episode, we're covering the Pay Equity Now movement! Blaire chats with costume designers and friends of the pod, Ariyela Wald-Cohain and Whitney Anne Adams, who are co-chairs of the Costume Design Guild's Pay Equity Steering Committee, about this important initiative. Tune in now and learn how to support costume designers' fight for pay parity, because without them, there would be no us! #CDGPayEquity #NakedWithoutUs Follow Pay Equity Now on Instagram Follow CDG Local 892 Ariyela Wald-Cohain on Instagram Whitney Anne Adams on Instagram and Tales from a Costume Designer Podcast https://deadline.com/2024/01/costume-designers-launch-equal-pay-campaign-parity-1235804822/

Boudoir Chic and 'Ringmaster Red' in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)

Y'all come back now, ya hear? In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas movie musical, Dolly Parton is Miss Mona, the madam of the local Chicken Ranch, a historic and beloved brothel in a small Texas town. Sheriff Ed Earl (Burt Reynolds) helps out Miss Mona by looking out for the brothel, but the duo runs into trouble when TV personality Melvin Thorpe tries to expose the ranch. Dolly's outfits are a serious boudoir chic feast for the eyes, with ruffles, lace, feathers, sequins, and floor-length "ringmaster red" garments, costumed by the late, great Theodora Van Runkle (Troop Beverly Hills). As usual, we break down our favorite looks but also discuss Burt Reynold's hunkdom (and how we'd cast Pedro Pascal in his role for our imaginary remake). There's also chisme about Dolly and Burt hating each other during filming, so Blaire has a request for Ryan Murphy: to make the next installment of Feud be about their drama!
