In previous episodes, we discussed how pop culture has long served as a powerful space for gay men to find representation, expression, and community, offering both a reflection of their struggles and a source of empowerment. Within this space, dolls and collectibles further provide a medium for gay men to explore themes of identity, often becoming symbols of empowerment and nostalgia within queer culture.In this episode, Chris Angelo, a Bratz collector, joins us to discuss the intersection of his queer identity with collecting and why pop culture collectibles provide a source of community for LGBTQ+ people.Additional Resources:Follow Chris Angelo on InstagramFollow The Bratz Barista on InstagramSupport the showGet Your Merch

The world is divided into two types of people: Bratz girls or Barbie girls, and Dom falls firmly into the former category. This Bratz archivist, historian, preacher and devotee began his journey in the early 2000s as the girls with a passion for fashion provided him with a sense of belonging and escapism during a challenging period of transition. Fast forward twenty-something years and he has cultivated this affection into an expansive collection of dolls and memorabilia, as well as a series of thriving online platforms which celebrate the iconic toy line. Join the conversation as we discuss cold, shiny, hard plastic, manifesting holy grails, unreleased products at flea markets and much more!Follow Dom on Youtube, Instagram and TikTokVisit LookinBratz.comWatch a video version of this episode by clicking here.Send Buychiatry a Text MessageTheme music: Sunshine by Karl CaseyFollow Buychiatry on Patreon, Youtube, Instagram & TikTok Click Here to see a list of Buychiatry prescribed medication!Also hosted by Damien DysaniaWhatever The Hell "This" IsCuriosity, existentialism and chaos come together in this unserious attempt to make sense of life and other enigmas. Damien Dysania is an introspective, imaginative and anxiety-ridden millennial who is sick and tired of trying to solve the mysteries of the universe on his own.

Banger or Bop? After we get a text asking to play more classic bangers instead of today's pop songs, we decided to give the texter a call to find out what ‘classic banger' he wanted to hear. Well his answer was the song ‘Bullet Proof' by La Roux. However after playing the song, the show couldn't decide if that song was an actual ‘banger.' After debating on-air we all concluded that it was more of a ‘bop' and not a ‘banger.' Leading us to play Justin Bieber ‘Beauty & The Beat' to make up for it! We also go around the room and find out there was a secret cameo of Bratz Dolls in The Barbie Movie and we also bring on a teacher to talk about our campaign ‘Write 4 Teachers' with BIC which you can find the details for on ElvisDuran.com!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Queen of TikTok, Instagram und Co ist heute zu Gast: Max ist nicht nur auf Social Media entertaining, sondern auch auf den Drag Bühnen Wiens. Wovon seine Drag Persona Alison Serpent inspiriert ist und den Weg von der Idee zum fertigen TikTok, erzählt uns Max in dieser Folge. Sit back and press play.ALISON SERPENT / MAXRYTA TALE______________________[ DICTIONARYTA ]CONTOURINGDarunter versteht man das Schattieren und Aufhellen bestimmter Gesichtspartien, um Teile des Gesichts hervorzuheben oder in den Hintergrund zu rücken.RUPAUL'S DRAG RACEIn dieser Reality-Show treten Drag Queens in verschiedenen Challenges gegeneinander an. Gehostet wird die Serie von RuPaul, einer Drag Queen, die mit diesem Format die Kunstform Drag quasi salonfähig gemacht hat.TITTI TITTI BANG BANGDie queere Clubbing-Reihe hat sich über die letzten Jahre als Party für vorwiegend lesbisches Publikum etabliert. Fixer Bestandteil der Party sind eine Drag Show und die Glitzerfee.FISHYDieser umstrittene Begriff beschreibt Drag Queens, die besonders weiblich aussehen und als ‚Cis-Frau‘ durchgehen könnten.GLOW CONDie ‚Glow‘ ist eine österreichische Beauty Convention, die von der Drogeriekette DM veranstaltet wird. Hier kommen nationale und internationale Beauty Influencer:innen und Fans zusammen, um sich auszutauschen.BRATZDas Konkurrenzprodukt zu den Barbie-Puppen kam erstmals 2001 auf den Markt. Die Puppen dienen einigen Drag Queens als Vorlage, wenn es um Make-up und Looks geht.WINX CLUB‚Winx Club‘ ist eine Zeichentrickserie von Nickelodeon produziert. Mittlerweile gibt es 8 Staffeln, 3 Kinofilme, 2 Spin-offs und eine Realverfilmung.MONSTER HIGHDie Monster High Puppen unterscheiden sich von den anderen Modepuppen insofern, dass sie von Horrorfilmen und Schauerliteratur inspiriert sind. Sie werden wie die Barbie Puppe von Mattel produziert.L.O.L. SURPRISENeben den Bratz Dolls brachte die MGA Entertainment Inc. auch die Baby Born und die L.O.L. Surprise Puppen auf den Markt. BARBIEDie Barbie-Puppe gilt als eine der bekanntesten und meistverkauften Puppen der Welt und gehört damit zu den Spielzeugklassikern. Fun Fact: Ihr eigentlicher Name ist Barbara Millicent Roberts.GEN ZAls Generation Z bezeichnet man Personen, die Mitte der 90er-Jahre bis Ende der 10er-Jahre zur Welt gekommen sind. Sie folgt der Generation Y, auch Millennials genannt.LGBTQIA+LGBTQIA+ ist die Abkürzung für lesbisch, schwul, bisexuell, transgender, queer, intersexuell und asexuell.

Dabei ist es unabhängig davon, welches Geschlecht der Person bei der Geburt zugeteilt wurde.GENDERFLUIDDie Ausprägung ‚genderfluid' bewegt sich zwischen den Geschlechtern männlich-weiblich (oder weiteren).CIS GENDERWenn die Geschlechtsidentität mit dem im Geburtenregister eingetragenen Geschlecht übereinstimmt, spricht man von Cisgender.

Depressionen und Angststörungen sind meist Anzeichen und beeinträchtigen Betroffene stark im Alltag. Sowohl Gesprächstherapie als auch Medikamente können zur schnelleren Heilung beitragen.MOBBINGUnter Mobbing versteht man die psychische Gewaltausübung auf andere Personen.BODY SHAMINGViele Menschen werden aufgrund ihres Körpertyps oder ihres Gewichts verachtet und von der Gesellschaft ausgeschlossen. Dabei kann Body Shaming sowohl auf übergewichtigen als auch bei untergewichtigen Personen zutreffen.VERHALTENSTHERAPIEIn der Verhaltenstherapie werden durch Gespräche weniger lebensgeschichtliche Entwicklungen analysiert, sondern der Fokus liegt mehr auf dem aktuellen Verhalten der Person. Es ist auch eine Form der Gesprächstherapie.BODY POSITIVITY / BODY NEUTRALITYDie Bewegungen Body Positivity und Body Neutrality setzen sich für die Abschaffung unrealistischer und diskriminierender Schönheitsideale ein.BORDERLINEDiese Form der Persönlichkeitsstörung ist durch Überempfindlichkeit in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen, die Instabilität des Selbstbildes und Impulsivität charakterisiert.______________________[ HONORABLE MENTIONS ]VALENTINA FOX / BORISMETAMORKIDMENORAH TEAARIEL VERSACEVALERIA VIPERHONEY S.

Using Lisa Guerrero's 2009 article “Can the Subaltern Shop? The Commodification of Difference in the Bratz Dolls” as a framework, Carrie and Ellie discuss MGA Entertainment's introduction of the Bratz line in 2001 and the alternative vision of femininity and style it offered young girls in the new millennium. Guerrero explores four spaces of critical inquiry: the Bratz' paradoxical investment in racial identities, gender and sexuality politics, the influence of consumerism/commodity culture, and the "street cred" culture that provided white suburban girls a "tourist opportunity of the urban imaginary space." The sisters also contextualize the Bratz line within the y2k emphasis on multiculturalism and the specious understanding of America as a "post-racial society" in the late 20th century. Other topics include the McBling aesthetic, the "browning of America," and (as always) neoliberal postfeminism. Works cited include Danzy Senna's 1998 piece "Mulatto Millennium," Michele Elam's 2011 work The Souls of Mixed Folk: Race, Politics, and Aesthetics in the New Millennium, Molly Rosner's Playing with History: American Identities and Children's Consumer Culture (2021), Walter Johnson's 1996 article “The Strange Story of Alexina Morrison: Race, Sex, and Resistance in Antebellum Louisiana” as well as his 1999 book Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market, and (just barely!) Jill Lepore's 2018 piece in the New Yorker, "Valley of the Dolls: Barbie, Bratz, and the end of originality." Passing narrative films Carrie mentioned were Showboat (1936, 1951), Pinky (1949), and Imitation of Life (1934, 1959).

First up in today's episode is me trying to puzzle through some weird advertisements I've been seeing around the city. Do we really need marketing for public goods? Then I share what I think men missed during the "Me Too" movement and critically analyze serial killers through a feminist lens. Later, I'm taking everyone back to my childhood, where I tried and failed to be trendy in any way. I come up with some unorthodox parenting strategies -- I'll be giving my kids a prehistoric childhood and no one can stop me.
