Explicit content warning
06/26/19 • 101 min
Peggy Noland is an American fashion designer and artist known for her eccentric clothes and cheeky critiques of consumer culture.
In this episode, Peggy discusses being a lifelong âtexture queen,â the biological underpinnings of our slime obsession and the thrill of crushing Tide Pods between her fingers. We get into her experiences teaching high school students, closing her iconic store in Kansas City and changing the vehicular aesthetic of Los Angeles one hand-painted car at a time.
We also talk about why she is so impacted by JOANN Fabric and how an early exposure to fast fashion factories in India changed her career trajectory.
Peggy counsels my imposter syndrome, describes the emotional experience of making projects alone and addresses learning from creative misses.
Peggy is a silly, supportive friend. Follow her on Instagram @peggynoland.

Jiz Lee, Lotus Lain and Mimosa - Coming Out
Jiz Lee is an award winning porn performer, queer porn superstar and author of the anthology âComing Out Like A Porn Star: Essays on Pornography, Protection, and Privacy.â This episode begins with two readings from the book, followed by a conversation with Jiz about the origins of their porn career, the importance of teaching porn literacy rather than arguing about âgood pornâ versus âbad porn,â not shaming someoneâs sexual fantasies and dispelling myths about porn production.
Then, we move into a panel discussion with Lotus Lain and Miss Mimosa. Lotus Lain is an independent porn performer, writer and activist who works with the Free Speech Coalition, the adult industry's trade association. Mimosa is an artist and sex worker with experience as a professional dominatrix, BBW porn performer and fetish content creator who spends most of her time in San Francisco in LA. She also works behind the camera in both adult and mainstream film, doing both casting and performer advocacy.
The group discusses diversifying who gets to feel sexy, their experiences disclosing their work to both friends and family and new acquaintances and the hypocrisy of the way Hollywood treats sex workers. Lotus speaks about being outed as a porn performer without her consent, the stigma of having sex for fun and how porn can be one of the safest settings to explore kink.
Mimosa remembers asking her mother about how she would react if she became a porn star at the age of ten and reflects on body positivity within porn.
âHaving a body thatâs different, for me, was always a source of power,â Mimosa says. âWhen youâre your own home, other people will want to be there.â
This episode was recorded live during Pillow Talk in the penthouse at the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles. Follow @jizlee and buy their book here: bigcartel.com/product/coming-out-like-a-porn-star

Michelle Badillo - S**y Besties
Michelle Badillo is a screenwriter and actor from Queens, New York. We are globally renown best friends. Michelle is a sexy television writer and humorist, best known for her work on One Day At A Time, the Netflix reboot of the original Norman Lear sitcom, and The Bold Type, a show about young journalists for which she probably drew great inspiration from my life.
You also might recognize Michelle from the steamy, non-binary facesitting scene in season one, episode three of the Starz show Vida. She's appeared in Vogue because modeling is very easy for her.
Michelle is so funny, so smart, so silly, so naughty, so sweet, etc.
We talk about The Hills: New Beginnings, especially how emotional Michelle became when Mischa Barton appeared on screen and how much we love Brandon Thomas Lee. We tell the story of how we met and our first impressions of one another â including lip rings, crowns, bodycon dresses, cigarettes, screenwriting, Facebook and early bedtimes. We also reflect on trusting our intuition, coming out after a GSA meeting and noticing childhood class dynamics.
We mock the trust fund kids we went to school with, including their helicopters home to La Jolla, self-driving sports cars and wack-job parents. Michelle has the nerve to disclose where we attended school and I covertly assert that I was too smart to go there. I finally admit that I was famous but bullied on campus.
We talk about the unique way moms talk about their daughters' bodies and Michelle teaches me how to become a successful screenwriter. I qualify multiple comments with "not to stigmatize" because I don't want to stigmatize. Michelle sings a couple of showtunes, lusts after Megan Fox and reflects on the more challenging aspects of lending her own teenage experiences as a queer woman of color to a character on TV.
Finally, we play "Tierney Answers," an incredible new segment where my guest interviews me about my many attributes and preferences.
