Our studio flooded, so this week’s episode is coming to you criss cross apple sauce from Joel’s couch.
Before we get into the story, we discuss Widow’s Bay — spoiler alert — Joel’s trip to the Cartier exhibition at the NGV.
Then Joel takes the wheel and throws us into the ballroom world of 1990s New York and the extraordinary life of Paris Is Burning icon Dorian Corey. After Dorian’s death, friends clearing out her Harlem apartment discovered a mummified body hidden inside a trunk. It had been there for more than 20 years.
Who was the man in the trunk? What happened between them? And how did one of New York’s most beloved house mothers keep such an enormous secret for so long?
It’s queer history, drag and ballroom culture, an unsolved murder mystery and, as always, mummy dust.
