Window Dressing

Madelaine Jane Auble

Part film history, part cultural critique, and heavy with bejeweled gowns, the podcast dives into the intersections between fame, glamour, fashion, and film. And the role they have played in constructing and influencing American culture throughout the last 100 years.

Tori Spelling Part 3

Window Dressing ·

2024/05/25

This week I wrap up my Tori Spelling discussion with the continuation of Donna and Ray’s tumultuous relationship. Ray chipped away at Donna's dignity through verbal abuse that escalated to physical abuse. But, Donna wins out in the end by standing in her Tori Spelling branded power source-her kindness.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madelaine-jane-auble/message

Tori Spelling Part 2

Window Dressing ·

2024/05/19

This week I focus on the later years of 90210—specifically season 5. The days where Donna’s storyline became the primary storyline and her hair went from long to short and her boyfriend changed from David to Griffith to Ray. Ray Pruitt played by Jamie Walters epitomizes the unstable nice guy so many of us have encountered in our dating life and Donna plays the lost lamb we have all stood next to on the slaughter house steps. --- Send in a voice message:

Tori Spelling Part 1

2024/04/30

In the next couple of episodes, I delve into one of the most influential teen dramas of all time— and a personal touchstone of my childhood: Beverly Hills 90210. Specifically Tori Spelling’s character Donna Martin and Tori’s life post 90210, including her very public divorce, her reality show True Tori, and her two podcasts Misspelling and 9021omg. This week I focus on one episode of 90210 in particular and its real-world subject matter—the international modeling market. --- Send in a voice

Jessica Fletcher Part 2

Window Dressing ·

2024/04/08

Jessica Fletcher Part 2 is a smorgasbord from which I cherry-pick a smattering of episodes and scenes from Murder, She Wrote to give a more holistic sense of the series. The episodes for this week are Truck Stop, Something Borrowed, Someone Blue, and The Magnum P.I. crossover episode Magnum on Ice. I recommend listening to part one before listening to part 2 for context about Angela Lansbury, her character Jessica Fletcher, and the show. --- Send in a voice message:

Jessica Fletcher (and Playboy) Part 1

Window Dressing ·

2024/03/24

This episode's topic is the Murder, She Wrote episode inspired by Hugh Hefner and Playboy. I focus on the personal toll the politics of the time, and Playboy has taken on women culturally through the lens of Angela Lansbury's famed portrayal of female protagonist Jessica Fletcher. The season 2 episode of Murder, She Wrote Episode inspired by Playboy: Christopher Bundy Died on Sunday is littered with references to stories that had been coming out of the mansion for decades by the time it

Heather Locklear-Amanda Woodward-Priscilla Davis: part 2

Window Dressing ·

2024/03/11

In part two of my Heather Locklear episode I pick up mid-series in Melrose Place and end with Texas Justice the 1995 made-for-TV mini-series starring Heather Locklear as the real-life Priscilla Davis, a victim of two attempted murder plots on the part of her husband, Texas millionaire Thomas Cullen Davis. Her portrayal of Priscilla didn’t win her a lot of fanfare but it did win her a special place in my heart. A few notes: No costume designer is listed in the credits or on the IMDB page for Texas

Heather Locklear-Amanda Woodward-Priscilla Davis: part 1

2024/03/03

This week on Window Dressing: American Trash and National Treasures is the first of a two-part episode dedicated to the queen of TV Heather Locklear. Locklear spent the entirety of the 1980s, 1990s, and part of the 2000s on hit Television shows. Specifically Aaron Spelling TV Shows. I focus on her role as Amanda Woodward in Melrose Place and her portrayal of Priscilla Davis in the true crime mini-series, Texas Justice. I also discuss Heather herself-her icon status and the construction and influence

Phyllis Dietrichson: Double Indemnity

Window Dressing ·

2024/02/19

This week I discuss the most well-known and reviled Femme Fatale in film history: Phyllis Dietrichson, played by one of the most well-respected and loved actresses in American film: Barbara Stanwyck. The 1944 film noir Double Indemnity is one of the shiniest, most monied film noirs produced in its time. The film is based on James M. Cain's book of the same name. The story itself is inspired by a true crime that is so American it smells like apple pie and fresh blood.--- Send in a voice

Alabama Worley: True Romance

Window Dressing ·

2024/02/05

It’s difficult to articulate Alabama’s, and by extension Patricia Arquette’s charm in the 1993 film True Romance. It’s somewhere close to a fairy princess that has fallen from her tower to earth and landed near a pack of Chesterfields, a cubic zirconia wedding band, and a hamburger stand in Hollywood. The only one for her is Christian Slater’s depiction of a midwesterner who drives a Cadillac, talks to Elvis, and literally kills for her love. If she is the dream, he is the one that prevents it from

Sydney Andrews: Melrose Place

Window Dressing ·

2024/01/08

I will discuss Laura Leighton’s character on Melrose Place Sydney Andrews. Sydney is cut from the same cloth as last week’s heroine, Kitty March, played by Joan Bennett. She moons and swoons over her sister's soon-to-be ex-husband Micheal Mancini the same way Kitty melted in the arms of Johnny Prince, her pimp boyfriend played by Dan Duryea. Sydney is a love-to-hate brand of soap queen that is the stuff of daytime and primetime legend. This particular femme fatale came with a large dose of

2023/12/17

Joan Bennett stars as Katherine (Kitty) March in the 1945 Fritz Lang film Scarlet Street. Her character is a unique kind of femme fatale- she is innocent and dripping with a sexuality that she is more than willing to use to her advantage, or more specifically her pimp boyfriend Johnny's (played by Dan Duryea) advantage. In this episode, I explore the strange yet deeply relatable struggle between the romance of innocence and youth and the grown-up desires of the flesh. All are easily exploitable

Vertigo (Season 2) American Trash and National Treasures

2023/12/03

This week on Window Dressing: American Trash and National Treasures I untangle the web of Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo. I take a deeply personal look into Madeline, Judy, Carlotta, and Midge's roles in the scheme of womanhood and romance. This is the second part of my first episode about the 1988 film Heart of Midnight, two very different films that fill similar spaces emotionally. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madelaine-jane-auble/message

Season two of Window Dressing: American Trash and National Treasures begins with the 1988 film Heart of Midnight. In this season I will discuss the women of American culture and cultural products that are either revered or reviled. I will put Lisa Rinna and Joan Crawford at the same level and give films like Vertigo and this episode's Heart of Midnight the same weight. As usual, every component of this podcast is created by me with love and genuine admiration for film and television and the

Klute and Heartbreak

Klute and Heartbreak is my more personal take on the 1971 Jane Fonda film Klute. This is a between-seasons "one-off" episode where I try to dissect what it is about this film that I find so comforting and relevant to my life today. I approach Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda's character) and her relationship with John Klute (Donald Sutherland's character) through the lens of modern womanhood and heartbreak. If you're interested in Jane Fonda's life and career during this time

I focus on Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt's characters, Julie and Helen as the archetypal blonde and brunette teen scream queens. --- Send in a voice message:

Holly Madison and Playboy

Window Dressing ·

2023/09/17

The season finale of Window Dressing: Glamour Girl Next Store: MGM to Playboy is all about Holly Madison and Playboy. She was the last star to come out of Playboy and the first one to successfully take ownership over the Playboy legacy through caring for it. She eclipsed Hugh Hefner from his own bed. In this episode I talk about her, Brigette Marquart, Kendra Wilkinson, The Girls Next Store and Holly’s place in the history of Playboy. --- Send in a voice message:

Cultural phenomenon and icon Pamela Anderson changed beauty standards and the conversation around female power sources in this country forever. She became the first Playmate to successfully cross over into the mainstream - only to have her new found power taken from her after the theft and release of her, and then husband Tommy lee's private home movie(s). Twenty years later she has finally told her own story, after an unsolicited television show forced her hand. In this episode I talk about the

Sharon Stone as Ginger

Window Dressing ·

2023/08/28

The character of Ginger in the 1995 film Casino is one of the best roles of all time (in my book). This week I come to the defense of the maligned character and make a case for the dripping in glamour women she is based on and all the woman Stone's portrayal has inspired. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madelaine-jane-auble/message

Alicia Silverstone

Window Dressing ·

2023/08/21

This week I talk about Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, Cryin, and Crazy. The latter two being early 1990s Aerosmith rock opera style music videos. I attempt to describe what she did for me as a young girl and what she represents to the culture - now and then. Teen girl icon doesn't begin to cover the impact she has had. She is one of my favorite people and it is a joy for me to talk about what she embodied for me growing up and honestly to this day. --- Send in a voice message:
