Episode 1 — “The Paris Xtravaganza”
On the very first drop of The Rectangles Podcast, Janackeh and Nick step onto the ballroom floor to dissect the twin documentaries Paris is Burning and I’m Your Venus. Their conversation zeroes in on three big threads:
- Style theft & fashion fallout – how everything from couture runways to fast-fashion TikToks keeps raiding Black queer aesthetics without paying proper dues.
- Pace of progress – why ideas, language, and acceptance evolve light-years faster inside queer spaces, and how that rapid change can spook the mainstream.
- The admiration dilemma – Nick’s candid disappointment when parts of Black queer culture still pedestalize white, straight norms more than their own rich heritage.
Along the way you’ll hear personal stories, shout-outs to legendary Houses, and a few sharp sidebars on allyship in 2025. Whether you already know every category or you’re just clocking in, “The Paris Xtravaganza” sets the tone for a podcast that’s equal parts critique, celebration, and community.
