This week on Fashion Is My Foreplay, I’m joined by Ben, the creator of Brighton’s brand new monthly queer night: Dirty Talk

This episode is a little different, more of an event special, where we talk all about what Dirty Talk is, why Brighton needs more queer nightlife spaces, and what you can expect from the launch night this Friday 6th February at CHALK.

We cover:
– The vision behind Dirty Talk
– Drag, pole, go-go dancers + runway moments
– Building inclusive, accessible queer spaces
– Brighton nightlife culture
– What to wear, who it’s for, and why you should come dance

PART 2 of my conversation with Violet (@imissviolet) goes deeper, into politics, protest culture, trans survival, sexuality, confidence, and what it actually means to build a livable future while you’re exhausted.

We talk about:
– Protest culture, burnout & why communities turn on themselves
– ACT UP, AIDS history & what’s been erased from collective memory
– Being trans in the current political climate
– Experiencing hate crime & navigating safety
– Gray sexuality, desire, communication & sex as “drag”
– Confidence, self-love, affirmations & building yourself up
– Foreplay as ritual, music, comfort & care

This episode is raw, funny, heavy at times, and deeply human.

This is PART 2 of a two-part conversation.

Welcome back to Fashion Is My Foreplay, and we’re kicking off with Violet (@imissviolet) for a chaotic, honest, hilarious conversation that covers everything from London Fashion Week shows to identity, hormones, dating, and why pretending to be “normal” is overrated.

– Modeling, TikTok, agencies & unexpected fashion moments
– Burnout, politics, community, and creating more than you consume
– Gender fluidity, pronouns, hormones & the reality of being perceived
– ADHD/autism, oversharing, and being real online
– Dating, falling fast, open relationships & communication

This is PART 1 — PART 2 is coming next week!

Adult themes, sex & relationships, gender identity / trans experience, body image, mental health, eating disorder mention, neurodiversity discussion, discussion of surgery (FFS), and some strong language.
