Pose Season 2 - Part One: Ricky Evangelista Wintour is America's Ass

Our Pose discussion continues with Season 2 of the series. We had LOTS to say, so we are breaking out our thoughts on the season over two episodes. We open with a chat about helpful life hacks for preparing adult beverages. In our segment on stuff we like, we celebrate Kristine learning how to swim and ponder the consequences of characters on True Blood wearing denim with no underwear. As for the stuff we did not like, we chat about the things we do for cute hairstyles and Karamo Brown.
We continue our praise for the show while acknowledging some of the second season’s growing pains. We kick things off with a chat about some of the weaker aspects of the season and storylines we still don’t quite know how to feel about. We cover everything from the writers exercising creative license with historical events, justice for Candy Abundance Ferocity, and the Ricky/Pray Tell pairing. We question the use of Madonna’s Vogue as a focal point for the start of the season and try to figure out how our ballroom faves are funding their fierce styles. Where are the sewing machines?!
Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult language.
