In this episode, Madeleine is joined by Joseph Harwood, a British model and artist, who talks about their childhood growing up in a church with a Grandad who was a preacher, about how they parlayed success on Myspace into modelling for McQueen, and about turning the inevitable disappointments that pepper every career into something better.There's also a fair bit of love for sentimental products, with Joseph talking especially about MAC and Max Factor.The episode was produced by Rich Jarman, with artwork by Sung Lee.

Emma Willis
In this episode, Madeleine is joined by the broadcaster Emma Willis, who takes me through her beauty journey from her childhood, where her heroes were Sandy from Grease and Kylie Minogue, both of whom she says appealed because they have that girl next door thing about them, through her years of smoky eyes while working at MTV, all the way to today, where she’s more focussed on health and discussing the realities of how she safeguards hers.Emma also talks about the effect being pregnant had on her body, her favourite brown mascara, and the joy of Nez Hasan's microblading skills.

Bay Garnett
In this episode, Madeleine is joined by the stylist Bay Garnett, the celebrated stylist who pioneered second hand clothing and made thrifting part of mainstream culture again.We talk about that, and many other things from the skinny culture that still prevails in fashion, why some fashion people are a bit snobby about make-up, the Charlotte Tilbury mascara tip she live, and her views on injectables. Bay is a perfume person, and her list of favourites she shares during this episode is testament to her excellent taste - as is her assertion that ‘no one was more stylish than Elvis’ - a sentiment I am wholly behind.The episode was produced by Rich Jarman, with artwork by Sung Lee.

Ella Ward
In this episode, Madeleine Spencer is joined by the writer Ella Ward, who, in Ella's words "has worked in advertising for 22 years. This means she has a proclivity for profanity and doesn’t respect punctuation. In 2018 she was hit with the cancer stick, which apart from being rather frightening also encouraged a foray into oversharing on Instagram, and then – magically – writing. Her first book, 27 Letters to my Daughter, was released through HarperCollins Australia in 2022. A novel is on its way. Ella lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband, child, dog, cat and many neuroses."During the episode, we touch on all those things, and others besides - the joy of bright pink lipstick, especially. You may find some of the topics triggering, so do please be aware of that when listening.The episode was produced by Rich Jarman, with artwork by Sung Lee. Hosted on Acast.
