Happy holidays! I hope you're able to relax, and to take some time to reflect on the last year and think about what is upcoming. I'm processing a big change myself, because in two weeks the storefront I've been in and loved for six years will no longer be mine. This is where I've grown my business, and I'm feeling a bit displaced.I've definitely been emotional, and I've been playing Dolly Parton's Hard Candy Christmas on repeat. When you find your little corner of the world where you feel large and in charge, and it's steeped in memories, it can be hard to let go. It's tough to feel uncertain during the holidays, but answering your questions always brings me joy. This episode, I answer questions about... [9:11] Where to purchase large paintings and framed photographs (Stephanie) [15:24] Choosing a color palette for a bathroom remodel (Vanessa) [20:09] Keeping a room cohesive (Diana) [24:56] Updating a kitchen without doing a full remodel (Diana) To see the accompanying pictures, make sure you head over to affordableinteriordesign.com/links and check out the YouTube channel or our social media pages.

In this episode, Jason talks about the lessons to be learned from Dolly Parton and one of the greatest Christmas songs ever written.
Supply chain issues are on everyone's lips and minds this holiday season, so Christopher and Eric turned to you, our Party People, to find out how you were coping with a holiday gift buying season in which your gifts might end up stuck on a cargo ship that will still be anchored far off shore come New Year's Eve. We share your advice, ranging from the witty to the practical, your unique gift giving (and buying) ideas, and Christopher once again gets to complain about and explore the mysteries of how perpetually and uniquely prepared Eric is for the holidays.
"Santa Baby" has gone through some changes. When Eartha Kitt recorded it in 1953, it was controversial because women--and particularly black women--didn't talk about desire so bluntly. It was a cool artifact from one of Christmas' back rooms until Madonna covered it in 1987, and that seemingly put the song on the radar of a generation or two of women performers including Arianna Grande and Kylie Minogue. This week, I'm joined by three strong women to discuss what makes Kitt's track special, and what changes when others perform it. Journalist and critic Alison Fensterstock contributed an interview with Rickie Lee Jones to Mojo earlier this year, and she is a regular contributor to NPR.org among other places. Singer Dayna Kurtz's passion and passions are clear in her work, whether the projects explore her personal life, her musical life (as part of Lulu and the Broadsides), or her activist life (as in the case of "What Would Jesus Say"). Alexandra Scott appeared on 12 Songs last year to talk about Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas," and singer Alexandra Scott has always made songs that sound like direct communications with the listener, whether the lyric reflects her innermost thoughts or something more fabricated. Even musical exercises sound meaningful when she sings them. In the episode, I talk about Pearl Bailey's "Ten Pound Box of Money." That's the song from 1958 adjusted for inflation. When Bailey recorded it, the title was "A Five Pound Box of Money." Sorry for the confusion. Maybe a 10 pound box of money reflects my needs and desires more than Bailey's since that's the lyric I sing in my head when I think about the song. This episode also starts to pay attention to the releases scheduled for the 2021 Christmas season starting with Brett Eldridge's "Mr. Christmas." The album by the same name won't be out until November, but the title track is out and we give it a first listen.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Sexism, sex work, small-town prejudice. Hey, y'all, welcome back to 80's Ladies! This week Vin LaBate (The Chimera, The Exquisite Lich) joins us for one of the most wholesome films ever made about sex work. Seriously, we kick off the movie with Jim Nabors, Gomer Pyle himself, and even his character isn't a full on ridiculous caricature. This isn't a perfect movie, by any stretch of the imagination. The story is a whole mess, it's very long and strangely complicated for a movie built on a premise and a couple of plot points. But what a premise, and what a cast - this movie is stacked with star power, even if those stars don't always live up to their hype. There's never a truly boring moment in the movie, and that's saying something considering how much of a hot mess this movie is. Make your reservation with Miss Mona and head on out to the Chicken Ranch as we continue our 80's Ladies series with The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!

Our attempt to win Kenny over to Country Music continues. Who can refuse the Christmas Classic from Dolly Parton "Hard Candy Christmas".
When I first conceived of “The 12 Songs of Christmas,” I imagined singer Alexandra Scott as my co-host. That didn’t happen because she wanted to be a singer more than a co-host, and it wouldn’t have worked because she moved from New Orleans to Virginia, but the first episode of Season Three is a glimpse of what might have been. This week, Alexandra joins me as a guest to talk about one of our favorite semi-modern Christmas songs: “Hard Candy Christmas.” We trace the history of the song from the Broadway soundtrack album for the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas until we reach the much-loved Dolly Parton version, discussing what’s gained and lost in each version, and what Dolly brings to the song. En route to Dolly’s version, we play the version from the film adaptation with audio grabbed from this video since there is no album that includes it. We then move on to two more stellar takes of “Hard Candy Christmas” by British singer Tracey Thorn and the combination of RuPaul, Barbara Mitchell and Michelle Visage. Both are exceptional for very different reasons. Along the way, we talk about nostalgia, musical theater, stardom, and whether or not the song is a Christmas song at all. For more on Alexandra Scott, you hear and buy her music at her Bandcamp page.
