This week, Leonora talks to her dear friend and one of her biggest career-supporters, Maggie Mackay. Maggie is a vital part of the film industry, and is the head of the Vidiots Foundation - which may be the key to saving the industry entirely! In this episode, we talk about equity and accessibility in the arts, why film is essential to being a human being, the joy of watching our kids gain autonomy over their personal taste, and why physical media matters. And: is Maggie mad at Leonora??

While the July 1988 cover goes hard for American-flag style (...and, okay, so does Sassy Club), the rest of the fashion in this issue is not overly patriotic. We're going to Arizona -- or somewhere very dry and hot -- for a swimwear spread. We're in an old-timey cottage for some undergarment looks. And then: stripes. So many stripes. We're also learning about hot-weather hair help, products from the beauty closet the Sassy staff swears by, how to look like a skateboarder (and possibly get called a poser in the process), and so much more. Stick some American-flag toothpicks in your hair -- or don't -- and join us! Visual Aids

In this Roundtable, we are joined by Patty Polinger and Cathy Tauber, the founders of the iconic Los Angeles video store, Vidiots. Vidiots opened its doors in Santa Monica in 1985 with a mission to provide access to art house films and rare titles. During its tenure, it served as a community space with events and became a mecca for cinephiles. Vidiots had to close its doors in 2017, but has found a new home at the Eagle Theatre in Eagle Rock. Construction will begin this summer with a plan to open its doors in the first quarter of 2022. The Eagle Theatre location will include a video store, a 250 seat cinema, as well as a 40 seat micro cinema, a bar, and an event space.  We sat down with Patty and Cathy to discuss the history of their beloved store, the steps they took trying and ultimately succeeding in saving it, and their hope for the future of the theater experience.  You can find a link to a virtual tour of the Eagle Theatre with renderings of what the finished space will look like, as well as a link to donate to the Vidiots Foundation below: https://www.vidiotsfoundation.org/donate (https://www.vidiotsfoundation.org/donate) https://vimeo.com/wylde/review/530978837/0c6ef872f6 (https://vimeo.com/wylde/review/530978837/0c6ef872f6)
