Summary

Jess has a glorious kiki with Queer Eye OG Carson Kressley where we go deep on his relationship to the Housewives (including filming WWHL w/ Alex McCord) & his fave franchises. We chat about his days & nights in NYC in the early 1990s which led to his first career as a fashion show producer & advertiser for Ralph Lauren. Carson reflects on the sparse Bravo landscape back when Queer Eye debuted in 2003, and how the show led the way for Top Chef, Project Runway, Sheer Genius, Work Out etc. We also touch the Wendy Williams and Dolce & Gabbana controversies, judging Drag Race, NY vs. LA fashion, how to elevate your wardrobe & apartment on a budget & much more!
