Britney Spears Part 2
Given everything that is going on with Britney currently, or at least the TMZ version of it, it's time to look back at what has already been done to her. We can't let this happen again.

Remy Bond
Remy Bond is showing us the worlds that exist in the hearts of American girls, including halters adorned with pink flamingos, vintage barkcloth Hawaiian dresses, dolphin-inspired bra tops, and Haight Street-coded bell sleeves. Her hyper-high, reaching-closer-to-god wig is giving Dolly Parton with 1920s finger wave curls. Remy takes the dumb blonde imagery to the beach in her silver-screen mermaid garb and her deep understanding of a theme as the American way of life. The tropical destination as an escape from the daily grind is woven into how we approach leisure in this country, and she turns it into a candy-coated, teddy-bear-toting ritual that saves our collective souls, while still recognizing the inherent tragedy in being a girl.

Spring Breakers
Spring Breakers is essentially a teen exploitation film and has very little of the hyperrealism of his 90s cult classic, Kids. It is quite the opposite; the Tumbler-style image montage of a film appears to be a meditation on the vacuous and the deeply problematic areas of American culture, namely drugs, young girls, white rappers, and group sex. But the commentary on “aesthetics” as an indication of ideals unsaid is profoundly pertinent to girlhood in this country. The soundtrack, consisting of two Britney Spears songs at a time when her 5150 and subsequent conservatorship was embedded in culture, draws an unmistakable image of the freedom-seeking at the core of every neon bikini and ‘down to f**k’ branded pair of sweatpants worn in this film.

Wuthering Heights: 2026
Emeral Fennel’s 2026 adaptation of Wuthering Heights has become a cultural product of contention. The controversy has focused on the failures of her adaptation of Emily Brontë’s brilliant classic, but from the many, many things I have seen and read that adopt this stance, very few of them include any note to, or awareness of, any other film adaptation of the work. Including, most importantly, the 1939 adaptation, widely considered a classic and the standard-bearer. This is my comparison of all three works, with a focus on what has been lost in the heart of Fennel's version. Namely, real love.

DOUBLE INDEMNITY: Femme Fatale 101
This week, I discuss the most well-known and reviled femme fatale in film history: Phyllis Dietrichson, played by one of the most respected and beloved actresses in American film: Barbara Stanwyck. This episode was originally aired as part of my American Trash and National Treasures series. The video version is in reverence to the Double Indemnity house and in celebration of my upcoming move near it. 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. This and every episode of Window Dressing is written, performed, researched, costumed, styled, and filmed by Madelaine Jane Auble

Fiona Apple: MTV Series (VIDEO)
This week I bring you a video version of last year’s MTV Summer series. 2025 marked the end of MTV as we know it, although it is not completely wiped from the airwaves. I wanted to mark its cultural demise with a bang—more specifically, the fondled trigger of Fiona Apple’s gun. The video vixens, like Alicia Silverstone and Erin Everly, who lit up the visuals for rock gods, are the sisters of the siren writhing on the floor, mouthing vitriolic truths about gender dynamics.

About Window Dressing
Redemption arcs abound in this feminist-driven history-of-women-in-film-and-television podcast. Part film history, part cultural critique, and heavy with bejeweled gowns, I explore 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.
