All things dragtastic, vulgar, and fabulous in classic movies, pop culture, and television. Friends and desperately 'real' housewives Dr Gaby Malcolm (writer and pop culture obsessive) and Sarah Musselwhite (teacher and pop culture obsessive) push everything through the Camp Culture filter and see what comes out of the other side!
Faking it through your children. Gaby and Sarah discuss how fame and fortune has affected three different families in the showbiz and reality arenas.
What is the impact of early childhood fame, and what if your father refuses to let you go to school? Dream come true, or recipe for a nightmare?
Diversions include the restoration of hairdressers and beauticians as the UK lockdown eases!!

Episode #3: Faking It - 'It's Britney, b**ches'.
Gaby and Sarah resume their exploration of faking it in popular culture and the media. How camp does that make you - if you have to maintain a facade from childhood onwards for the sake of other people's bank balances - and at the cost of your own sanity, sometimes?
With diversions into rose-gold Rolls Royces, as well as which Gaby plugs her appearance on Channel 5's 'In Jane Austen's Footsteps' (Viacom UK) and also forgets what a vocal fry is for the whole episode and then salvages it at the end.

Episode #2 - Fakenicity
What makes a person from a privileged, well-off, white family turn their identity into that of a different nationality or ethnic group - and one that might have traditionally been more disadvantaged? Is it just the attention? The money? And what about the pressure to keep the pretence going??
Gaby and Sarah look at some recent high-profile cases from Rachel Dolezal to influencer Hilary "Hilaria" Baldwin. Diversions along the way involve just how desperate we are for pedicures!
