This week on the pod, Connie and I are doing what we do best: talking fashion, reliving auditions we absolutely should have booked, and unpacking the absolute circus that is today’s news cycle. We get into door‑knocker earrings (obviously), guilty pleasures, iconic roles, and the very real gymnastics trans actors have to do just to exist in Hollywood.

We’re joined by the fabulous Matthew Breen, who helps us connect fashion, media, and those unforgettable NYC nightlife moments (yes, Jackie’s 60, we see you). From MTV memories to club chaos, TikTok trends, bottle service nonsense, and why House of Style still deserves a comeback — it’s all here.

Think: fashion talk, career flashbacks, nightlife lore, and unfiltered banter — aka a backstage pass to our brains.

Press play, grab a snack, and don’t forget your accessories, Sugar.
