Philosophy vs. Improv   /     Fashionation with Sheri Flanders

Description

The actor/writer/comedian joins us to talk about the philosophy of fashion, from the ancients to the present: Is clothing a mode of self-expression or something more (or less)? What does retro fashion say about the current state of culture? Should you wear clothes that you have to be sewn into? If you only had one little piece of cloth to wear, where would you put it? Are philosophers anti-fashion, and is that sexist? What color wedding dress is best for an arranged marriage? Are improv scenes like tissues? Follow Sheri at @SheriFlanders and @sheriflanders. For a more elaborate treatment of this topic, see Partially Examined Life #245. Hear more PvI. Support the podcast! You’ll get all of our post-game discussions and other exclusive bonus content. You can choose to watch the proceedings unedited on video. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
