Haute Set

Back at it with Episode 5, with all the mean girls of Middle Earth. All the dirty tricks are coming out this episode and we are looking forward to where the story is going. We haven't done the reading so we are just along for the ride.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27580494/?ref_=tt_mv_close Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase 

This episode is a pretzel of various lines of thinking all twisting around each other, aka fitting for a time travel movie. We love the future fashion predictions and seeing characters at different life and fashion stages. And justice for poor Jennifer, they did her so dirty in this movie. We discuss trivia from IMDB and again take it for gospel fact because we didn't look anywhere else. Jump in t...

Pals, this is not Star Wars ok? It's totally unique and (for legal reasons)  any similarities to other events in a galaxy far, far away are purely coincidental. Besides, this movie has enough going on that you won't be sad. We've got a lot of alien attire to cover from terrifying robot dogs, multi-faced singers, polyester medieval costumes, and of course a lot of sweaty faces because this is...

We're back with episode 3! We've got a few new costumes we got to see in this episode. We also wanted to shout out a few specific costume artisans that contributed to the lush world of the show. Join us for a quick chat. See you when episode 4 drops at the end of the week. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27580490/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_1 Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

The Rings of Power Season 2 is here and we decided to take a little side quest over to Middle Earth to check it out. We're talking clothes, lore, and whether Sauron was a black tar venom monster for 1000 years? Our chat on Episode 3 will be coming out in a couple days. Thanks for tuning in!  Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase 

Ariel and Melinda are doing a bonus project!  In addition to our sci fi series, we are going to cover the new season of RIngs of Power, talking costumes and enjoying some fantasy content. We are also do a costume project where each of us has chosen a costume from the show to build IRL in a scaled down size. Check out this announcement for all the info!  Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase...

Buckle up friends because we were really on one for this episode. And how could you not be for a movie like Barbarella? This movie sent our brains into outer space. If you are looking to learn something, you will not find it here. What you will find are killer dolls, killer parakeets, killer organs, killer lakes, and a lot of killer costumes.

This is classic sci fi in so many ways. The flying saucer, the desert planet, the iconic robot (who's also a seamstress!) as well as skirts so short, you wouldn't believe it's the 1950's. Join us as we ask the age-old question- why are the men acting like that?  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049223/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_forbidden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet Mu...

Dr. Cyclops was a bit of a wild ride featuring- mad scientists, radium shrinking technology, colonial-nightmare chic outfits, and honestly some really nice design moments. Join us to hear all about it.  Info from:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032412/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_dr%2520cyclops https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0372128/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

We move forward to sci fi from the 1930's with the little-remembered Just Imagine. Billed as the first sci fi musical. Is that true? We did not look it up to find out! We continue our examination of costumes based on only what we saw and very little outside research. And we saw a lot.

We kick of 100 years of sci fi by looking at the costumes in Metropolis. This un-researched and un-serious exploration of the costume design won't answer any of your burning questions, but hopefully will be a fun time.
