Camp kids, unite! It’s Fishnet Flix for tha children with our first ever kids-themed episode! Marie’s nephews, Mason and Grant, requested we watch the 1994 summertime comedy Camp Nowhere.

In Coming to America, Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) decides to venture from his Zamunda palace to New York City’s Queens, with the hope of finding his own queen to marry. This 1988 classic comedy is not only blessed by Murphy’s comedic genius, but also Deborah Landis’s costume mastery. Blaire and Marie fawn over the extravagant fur shawls, gold lace gowns, and oversized scrunchies before the episode goes off the rails and they start talking about aliens, Glenn Danzig, and Blaire’s (new) online shopping habit.

We're going straight to the sequel for I Know What You Did Last Summer specifically for the presence of Ms. Brandy Norwood, and we're so glad we did! Costume designer Daniel J.

There may not be a ton of outfits in this late '90s slasher, but the ones we have are daaamn good. Even Marie, a typical beige-hater, loves J-Love's uber neutral 'fits. What are you waiting for???

A surreal horror film, with costume design by Jo Thompson, about ​an "artery-red gown" that transforms the lives of the wearer. We loved it but nothing prepared us for the gowns home, the sales people, the twists, or that mannequin scene. You can hear the shock in our voices BUT everyone should absolutely see In Fabric! Trailer: https://youtu.be/biHUTtV4K40 From Jo Thompson: https://bit.ly/2ItavIQ
