Fishnets & Cigarettes: How music and fashion changed the world
Where opulence and decadence reign supreme, and the pursuit of beauty is a way of life...
More is more, and more is definitely better, right?
In this episode you'll learn more about us, your hosts Stan and Bella, and why we became so obsessed with the decadence of the past. We believe by embracing it, decadence can help us escape the mundaneness of the modern age and the time we are living in... intellectual hedonism at its finest. We may or may not have thrown in a couple of Kinks references for good measure.
In this week's episode we start our journey into decadence by taking a look at Marie Antoinette, Beau Brummel, Oscar Wilde, La Belle Epoque, and the Bright Young Things ... You'll learn important things like: If you're destitute and chic, you should probably flee to France, that champagne can be used to polish your boots (if you're Beau Brummel that is), and why you probably shouldn't fall out with the prince when he's paying for your champagne habit.
Stay decadent.
* Apologies: You can't hear Stan very well in the first 5 minutes, but it improves afterwards. This is our first episode so we are still getting the hang of everything. Bear with us!
