Victoria has a little secret...she's a sapphic. For 5 decades, Victoria's Secret has held the role of the arbiters of sensuality, or rather the fantasy of female sexuality, showing women what they should look like to be deemed sexy by the male gaze. At first look, Victoria’s Secret seems like a company for straights by straights. But with a closer look, we can see the secret held so dearly by Victoria.This episode, we’re unearthing that secret and digging into the camouflaged lesbian subtext of the brand, the hyper femme Angels, the real relationships, and the VS cruising culture that is hidden in plain sight.Subscribe to my Youtube: hereCheck out my Patreon: here

Who really was the real Elizabeth Taylor? With Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl releasing next week, Hailey explores the inspiration behind Taylor naming one of her unheard tracks "Elizabeth Taylor." Does Taylor relate to Elizabeth's toxic relationship with fame? Is she inspired by her star power? Is she intrigued by her long list of husbands (specifically SEVEN)?This week, Hailey dives into the life of Elizabeth Taylor: her career, her seven husbands, her possible queerness, and if she was the real Evelyn Hugo.Bonus content on my Patreon!Subscribe to my Youtube!

My unfiltered thoughts on the ENGAGEMENT: here!Wow. Just wow. Taylor Swift announced that her new album, TS12, will be called The Life of a Showgirl! With fans around the world rushing to find Easter Eggs in her announcement posts, one thing seems obvious (even to Tayvis stans distracted by The New Heights podcast): that Taylor Swift is embodying Ophelia on the album cover.Will her fate, or rather, the showgirl version of herself’s fate, end up just like Ophelia’s? What if Taylor is BOTH Ophelia AND Hamlet in her story? And what if these connections don’t end at Hamlet…this episode, Hailey uncovers a whole new meaning to the statement: “Taylor Swift is the modern day Shakespeare.” Need support?

Last week, Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce stepped out at numerous events together, where the paps were quick to take their picture. But they weren’t alone. They were joined by Travis’s rumored boyfriend, Ross Travis... Is this all a beard/PR relationship? If so, it's not the only one in Hollywood right now. This week, Hailey talks about how the “Lavender Marriages” of Old Hollywood still continue today. This episode, she covers: Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, and of course Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce.Join my Patreon for bonus content: here!Check out my merch: here!

It’s Pride, and what does that mean? It means the bisexuals and lesbians are fighting. Again. Last week, almost as if TRYING to increase the tensions, Fletcher, the famously sapphic singer, “came out” as having a boyfriend by dropping her song, "Boy"–much to the aghast of fans and sapphics alike. Lesbians have called out Fletcher for her “trad-wife” marketing and poorly timed announcement, while bisexuals have called out lesbians for their reaction, saying it’s biphobic. This week Hailey is joined by her close friend, Fletcher superfan, and fellow sapphic, Lexi, to weigh in on all of the controversy.Subscribe to my Patreon: here!Link to my merch: here!
