Sharlene Hector: Touring the World with Basement Jaxx, Finding Theatre, and Owning the Spotlight

It's the season 6 finale of 'AnotherLook', and you can't stop the beat! We welcome Will's fiancée Robyn back to the pod as a special guest to share her love of this memorable 2000s musical, and we examine the similarities and differences between the theatrical revamp and the original John Waters' classic. Listen up!

Today's guest is more than a hitmaker — she's a creative force who has shaped the sound of a generation. From penning chart-toppers like “Thank U, Next” (Ariana Grande), “High Hopes” (Panic! at the Disco), and “Love Lies” (Khalid & Normani) to building her own label, publishing company, and artist career, her story is a masterclass in reinvention, resilience, and longevity.And the writer is… Tayla Parx!In this episode, Tayla sits down with Ross to unpack how she's navigated more than a decade at the top of the music industry — from her start in Hairspray to writing with Babyface, to becoming one of the few Black women with a #1 country song. She opens up about:Surviving the pressures of back-to-back sessions and industry burnoutTurning setbacks into fuel for her artistry and business venturesWhy branding yourself as a songwriter matters as much as the songsThe art of staying relevant without chasing trendsHow to keep building a catalog that pays you for decades to comeFor every songwriter, artist, or creative grinding to build a career that lasts — this is the blueprint.

Pepper finds away to talk about all the inappropriate things he would do with his clone. Do you also fantasize about sleeping with yourself? Anytime Pepper's mom joins the show, the audience welcomes her with open arms. This time, she tells the story of the time using hairspray saved her life. We are swept up in the Netflix documentary "Unknown Caller" and how crazy the story is. We do our best not to give any spoilers but we had to talk about it. We argue about cheese pizza. A little fact about taste buds.

Voici un film coloré, gay, et fort bien coiffé, jʹai nommé Hairspray, de John Waters, une comédie sortie en 1988. Mais comment dire…. Hairspray est une réalisation du pape du mauvais goût, du cinéma trash américain, qui, ici, met de lʹeau dans son vin ou de la laque dans ses cheveux, pour proposer un film un peu plus familial que ses œuvres précédentes. Mais ça reste particulier. Hairspray est un film qui va vous interpeler. Déjà parce quʹil vous donnera envie de danser. Cʹest un film qui se moque des émissions de télévisées des années 60 où des jeunes gens, blancs si possibles et pas trop moches, se trémoussaient sur un Madison, un Mashed Patato, un Twist, ou toute autre danse du moment. Ensuite, parce quʹil résonne bizarrement. Derrière la danse, le glamour, les paillettes et les coupes de cheveux incroyables, se cachent des réalités sociales et sociétales que John Waters dénonce : le racisme et lʹexclusion des gens différents du paysage médiatique, en lʹoccurrence, mais également de tout un pan culturel contemporain. Les années 60 à Baltimore, la ville de John Waters, ne sont pas tendres pour les Afro-américains ni pour les obèses ou les personnes en surpoids. Hairspray est un film criard, avec des comédiens et comédiennes un peu brut de décoffrage, avec pas mal dʹartistes reconnus comme  Sonny Bono, ex-compagnon de Cher, Debbie Harry, la chanteuse de Blondie, avec Ruth Brown, chanteuse, the Queen of R&B, avec Pia Zadora et plein de jeunes gens dont Ricki Lake qui interprète le personnage principal. Hairspray, premier film grand public de John Waters est aussi le dernier de Divine,  son acteur fétiche, un travesti obèse décédé peu après. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons des archives, des interviews, des extraits, et beaucoup de musique. Place à la critique sociale, au pastiche et à la danse dans Travelling.

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter sits down with independent, brand‑agnostic educator Brenda Amaral to unpack the chemistry truths that help stylists cut waste, get predictable results, and stop fear‑buying shelves full of “just in case” tubes. Brenda pulls back the curtain on the tariff panic, “stock up now” messaging, and ammonia‑free buzzwords that keep colorists spending more than they need to.From why endless glazing can actually speed up fading, to putting the “filler” directly in the bowl instead of double processing, to how a 5‑minute heated test strand can save an accidental color correction, Brenda shows how understanding base chemistry gives you freedom: leaner inventory, cleaner formulas, faster decisions, and longer‑lasting color your clients notice. They also hit the sneaky ways aerosol hairspray sabotages fresh tone before the client even checks out—and what to do instead.Key Takeaways:Fear Selling vs Facts: How tariff talk and “shortage” messaging push unnecessary bulk buying—and how to audit what actually moves.Glossing Myth Check: Why routine clear glossing on already colored hair can swell the cuticle and flush pigment instead of “sealing” it.“Put the Filler in the Bowl”: Skip the dated two‑step fill—add controlled warmth directly to the target formula and verify with a quick test strand.Ammonia‑Free ≠ Damage‑Free: MEA and other substitutes don't just vanish—what residue reactivation means for cumulative stress and fading.Hairspray: The #1 Fresh Color Killer—Why high pH + alcohol right after a service accelerates fade, and smarter finishing swaps.Inventory Condensing: One adaptable line + chemistry knowledge can replace rows of single‑purpose SKUs (and clear literal and mental shelf space).Test Strand Speed Hack: An inch of hair + a capful of developer + heat in 5 minutes beats guessing (and wasted tubes).Why You Should Listen:If you're watching color costs climb, battling mid‑cycle fade, or feeling buried under duplicate shades “just in case,” this episode hands you the framework to trim inventory without trimming creativity. You'll walk away with immediately usable tweaks—how you finish, formulate, and problem‑solve—that protect profit, boost client loyalty, and make formulation feel intentional instead of reactive. It's not about buying a new system; it's about finally leveraging the chemistry behind the one you already own.Check out what Brenda has to offer with the resources below:https://www.instagram.com/truehaireducation/https://www.truehaireducation.com/Let's connect on Instagram!Join us on the Modern Hairstylist Tour!

Writer, director, actor, and artist John Waters has been making avant-garde cinema since the 1960s. His movies have pushed boundaries and shocked audiences with their wild characters and surreal storylines, even as they offer piercing insights into popular American culture and society. While he experienced mainstream crossover success by the 1980s and into the 2000s, and has been embraced by many in the entertainment industry, John Waters is inherently an outsider –- and he wouldn't have it any other way. He is a unique, visionary queer voice in American cinema. So for one of our 2025 Pride specials, the Great Pop Culture Debate looks back on 8 of The Pope of Trash's most notable movies and attempts to name the Best John Waters Film. Movies discussed: Hairspray (1988), Serial Mom (1994), Pink Flamingos (1972), Cry-Baby (1990), Female Trouble (1974), Mondo Trasho (1969), Polyester (1981), Pecker (1998). Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Jonny Minogue, and special guests Erin Marlow from the It's a Fandom Thing podcast, and Joshua Grannell AKA Peaches Christ, alternative drag icon and host of the Midnight Mass podcast, as they discuss 8 of the most notorious John Waters films.

Richies, for Pride Month we bring you a true hero to - and champion of - the queer community. A filmmaker who brings an oddball sensibility and counter-culture vibe to the mainstream. Director John Waters has been marching to the beat of his own drum since he was little boy, doing twisted puppet shows at birthday parties and drawing with black crayons. Born and raised in a Baltimore suburb, John knows early on that he's different. And he embraces it. His early films like “Pink Flamingos” are so deliberately gross and funny that they earn him the nickname “The Pope of Trash.” But behind the shock value is a real artist. He eases his way into the mainstream flicks like “Polyester” and then “Hairspray.” John Waters' lasting film legacy is to embrace and celebrate society's weirdos.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
