Vanity Project

Laura and Charles

Loose-lipped libertines, Laura and Charles are balls-deep in their search for the last taboo. Vanity Project is a place for indefensible obsessions. It’s an aphrodisiac! It’s a confession! It’s a pillow fight! It’s a kiss! If artists are here to disturb the peace, then podcasters are here to bring peace to the disturbed. You're going to feel it in your panties!

    GOSSIP: LIVE from AGNSW

    What do you call a group of women? Charles and Laura are recruited to articulate gossip, that which determines a social fabric, which was so threatening to patriarchal order that it sparked the witch trials, and may take up the majority of our speaking lives. We talk 16th century torture devices, manicures in the era of grooming, monkeys, and feminism. This episode was recorded live at the Art Gallery of NSW's Sydney Cinemathèqué. Thank you to Michael Sun for including us in his elegantly programmed series, Gossip. This podcast was recorded preceding our introduction for a screening of George Cukor's The women (1939).

    Three Colours: Red

    We don't know if you’re RED-y for this comeback… but Vanity Project have finally green-lit the return of their THREE COLOURS series! Charles and Laura uncover their taboo attraction to the colour that codes danger, gore, life, and death. What do Isabelle Huppert and Laura, a week before her thirteenth birthday, have in common? Bloody RED disaster! Like a poem said by a lady in RED, this episode will have you asking yourself, do the curtains match the drapes? Am I ginger by blood? There's only one way to find out! Remember what to do at the RED light? STOP everything, and listen!

    Three Colours: White

    Vanity Project are proud to present the first in the forthcoming trilogy of THREE COLOURS: White. In their first ever multi-episode saga Vanity Project daringly go where the likes of Aristotle and an exploratory lone monkey have gone before: to the White Material that made you. It’s an episode about semen, and the perfect recipe for how to increase your load. Through a textual and cultural analysis semen is the fulcrum for a new discourse on race, the cultivation of male sexuality, and the last funny movie, Bridesmaids. We brave The Colonial Cumshot, Images of Bliss, and Edmund White on Robert Maplethorpe. We ask, is cum kind of a gay guy thing? Where were you when Diddy threw the first White Party?

    The Most Famous Laura

    Who is the most famous Laura? It’s not the one in Vanity Project! In our Actress Double Feature reprise all eyes are on birthday girl Laura Dern. Four-time Academy-Awarded Best Actress Katherine Hepburn once said: "Show me an actress who isn't a personality, and you'll show me a woman who isn't a star." But what of a Best Supporting Actress? The supporting material this week is the holey epic Inland Empire (2006), the late David Lynch’s last feature, and confounding literary bio-flick JT Leroy (2018). What’s in a name? Laura and Charles attempt naming the unnameable genius of facial contortionist Laura Dern. When was the Dernaissance exactly? With Dern’s pre-historic Hollywood pedigree, she's fought worse Dinosaurs for years in Tinseltown!

    2025: A Chaste Odyssey

    Vanity Project are back! And this year they’re finally cleaning up their act! For the first time in a long time, Laura and Charles are fully clothed and somewhat researched. Following their threesome themed third birthday, they return with a speculative ficto-critical question that demands an answer… The question at hand? …How can we imagine the world without internet porn? Is it a porno-utoptia? Are we having more sex? Where’s Kim Kardashian? Is anybody listening to Vanity Project? It’s an X Rated Four Corners special, and VP have ventured into the unknown. Are they on the edge of something great, or are they just edging? Who’s to say!
