Vanity Project

We don't know if you’re RED-y for this comeback… but Vanity Project have finally green-lit the return of their THREE COLOURS series! Charles and Laura uncover their taboo attraction to the colour that codes danger, gore, life, and death. What do Isabelle Huppert and Laura, a week before her thirteenth birthday, have in common? Bloody RED disaster! Like a poem said by a lady in RED, this episode wi...

Vanity Project are proud to present the first in the forthcoming trilogy of THREE COLOURS: White. In their first ever multi-episode saga Vanity Project daringly go where the likes of Aristotle and an exploratory lone monkey have gone before: to the White Material that made you. It’s an episode about semen, and the perfect recipe for how to increase your load. Through a textual and cultural analysi...

Who is the most famous Laura? It’s not the one in Vanity Project! In our Actress Double Feature reprise all eyes are on birthday girl Laura Dern. Four-time Academy-Awarded Best Actress Katherine Hepburn once said: "Show me an actress who isn't a personality, and you'll show me a woman who isn't a star." But what of a Best Supporting Actress? The supporting material this week is the holey epic Inla...

Vanity Project are back! And this year they’re finally cleaning up their act! For the first time in a long time, Laura and Charles are fully clothed and somewhat researched. Following their threesome themed third birthday, they return with a speculative ficto-critical question that demands an answer… The question at hand? …How can we imagine the world without internet porn? Is it a porno-utoptia?...

This is Vanity Project’s most UNIQUE episode so far. Fierce contender for the coveted Third spot, Lottie World, joins the podcasters and takes them to a very special place… A place where Phallic Mothers meet Vaginal Fathers and we all sing Kumbaya. Star singer, entertainer, and storyteller Lottie asks us, where did the megafauna go? How are you feeling about Liam Payne’s death? Should we bleep my...

Vanity Project are Looking For A Third, and the final judge to help them is none other than Janet Anderson! For the unitiated, Janet is a star of the stage and screen, occasional nightlife icon, and permanent effervescent beauty. Did you ever watch Glee? Or judge a fashion show in the Bronx? Have you ever imagined yourself on your hands and knees at your own star on the Hollywood walk of fame? Us...

Now three years and 100 episodes in, Vanity Project receive a mysterious unmarked letter, sealed with a loving kiss from The Queen. What happens at 100? Few dare to dream of reaching the milestone, fewer have the honour of telling the tale… It doesn’t matter if you joined Vanity Project at their “Go Piss Girl” or their “Neuter Naarm vs Sex Sydney” or in “New York City: The Lost Tapes” … they’re ju...

Charles and Laura and joined by not one, but TWO potential candidates for their lucky third. Vanity Project has been graced by the talents that are Gus McGrath and Marcus Whale in a four-way verbal spar that has you asking, who’s sitting in whose lap? You may know Gus and Marcus from their FBI Radio show, Sleepless in Sydney, their band, Perfect Actress, or their epic solo writing and music practi...

Good things come in threes, and in this week’s ménage a trois Vanity Project is joined by part-time Donatella Versace impersonator, full-time Darlinghurst correspondent Theo Lathouras!

Theo is the perfect VP candidate; with the sex-appeal of Monica Belluci, the...

Charles and Laura are joined by the second judge of Looking For A Third, Lily Golightly! Many have tried to wrangle Lily Golightly behind a mic, few have succeeded. But now that Vanity Project has her hostage, you’ll be begging “Lily GoHarder!” Lily makes Vanity Project into Woo girls as they talk fondling, writing, bussing, and painting. We ask our favourite DIY school and publisher, Flower Books...

Vanity Project are breaking their silence on threesomes, virgins, and their third birthday (you’re invited), with none other than Michael Sun! Michael is not afraid to say it like it is, which is why he will be the perfect adjudicator of Vanity Project’s perfect third. Listen to Michael’s waxing lyrical on sunning your yoni, Raecism, and why at a young age you need the guidance of a bossy gay boy...

This week, Vanity Project went to Queer Ppt at AGNSW, so that you didn’t have to! We are instructed: one must imagine your grandmother horny...which brings us to McKenzie Wark! We all remember where we were on 9/11, right? Well not Vanity Project, we were too young. But this year ex-Novacastrian, now New Yorker came back to the antipodes to export the post-ethnography of the transgender raves of B...

When did Charles become a fag? When did Laura become a hag? Together, Vanity Project explore a sexless, but very sexy dialectic: this time, in the form of an introductory reading for the “Fag/Hag” launch. The new book by Max Fox and Madeline Laine-MicKinley published by Rosa Press and launched on Monday the 26th of August in Sydney. “I’ve always had a fascination for gay boys, lesbians, and transg...

Vanity Project takes a trip down the golden mile, down the mineshaft, and into the trough (Proudly Presented to you by 357). Yes, Vanity Project visited the gay museum. Yes, there’s a gay museum in Sydney. What can you see through the arch window? The peep hole? The glory hole? Qtopia invokes police brutality, high school bullying, and the periodic table as a confused metaphor for the multiplicity...

It’s “The Met” as in “The Metropolitan Museum of Art” and not “The Met Gala,” you f****t. On the first Tuesday of May we turn our attention to the attendees of Vogue’s reason for the season. This year it opened an exhibition called The Garden of Time, based on a short story of the same name in which aristocrats are overrun by “an immense rabble.” Sound familiar? Vanity Project turn their attention...

This week, Vanity Project recover lost tapes from one of their perfect days in New York City. Laura and Charles are in need of a fresh perspective (one that isn't looking down at the crotch!). What can be said about the city that never sleeps? Join Vanity Project as they traverse the island of Manhattan, from celebrity spotting in the meat-packing district, meeting Marc Jacobs and his peers at...

Vanity Project split up! Last week a scene war was waged. One audience was divided over two venues. In a single evening more than sixteen tortured poets sang their sonnets (Jerk Off Instructions) between the Nicholson Building of Haymarket and the barren art school campus of Paddington. As dutiful correspondents, Charles and Laura attended the two events in order to bring you this very special cov...

After their controversial municipal polemic Sex Sydney vs. Neuter Naarm, Vanity Project cross the pacific to form a definitive thesis about Los Angeles.

"Who's Melly Meldrum?" the Queen of Melrose asked Vanity Project after the Madonna show. All rise for Queen Cosmo, LA icon, internet sensation, fashionista, Madonna-truther and friend of the pod. When Vanity Project met Cosmo in the line for the Kia Forum coatcheck, they didn’t know what hit them. Like Big Ange, she empowered us with her motherly spirit. Like Gwenyth Paltrow, she tau...

This week we ask, what does Daily Male mean when they say “Make Oxford St Great Again”? How do you get Cancelled Twice 💋? Can you wear the Rick Owens “URINAL” shirt to a family gathering? This episode Vanity Project is rewriting the slogan tee, and it says I ♥️ [hate] Melbourne.  We trace its history to I ♥️ NY, The Thatcher Years, and HIV/AIDS. The slogan T-Shirt is as timeless as Charles’ Miran...

This week, Vanity Project is asking what’s in a name? We have a sweet tooth, and we’re double dipping in Hard Candy (2005, 2008). In the countdown to their adventure to Tinseltown for the Madonna Celebration tour we remember the album Madonna has chosen to forget, and the infamous pedo revenge thriller of the same name. We ask, are all gyms gay? What is to be made of the now-gone but not-forgotten...

We are Vanity Project, whom no man will ever possess! We would be only too happy to become world dictators if only to fulfill our mission: the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood in the race to realign the sexes, thus reducing population, while increasing human happiness and preparing humanity for its next stage. Charles and Laura are back with a bookish transvestigatio...
