X-Men '97, House of the Dragon, and Alaska's "Revolution" with Kit D. Crooks and Marci Morningstar

This week on the It Girl Podcast, we dive into the creative and kooky minds of Kit D Crooks and Marci Morningstar who’s love for everything fantastical bonded them together. Marci shares her background of being a tattoo artist, dressing in cosplay, and how being an artist originating from Sin City informs her drag. Kit D Crooks comes from the military and jokes about how most of her army pals knew she was a drag queen before she did. She talks about doubling down on wearing her elf ears and how she maintains her joy and infectious positivity that she is known for in the West Hollywood scene. Marci delves into the background of her name as an homage to both her comic book sensibilities as well as her love for her mom who always knows how to have a good time. She talks about how nice it is to have other queer people in her family, even if they may caution her with being so out there as to not paint a target on herself. Both of these queens are chronically online and hysterically witty, which is why I knew they would be perfect for the podcast.Then we get into the It Girls of the Week:(Spoilers ahead!)·      Kit D Crooks getting to perform for KATSEYE and the theories behind Manon’s absence·      Zohran Mamdani’s political winning streak that continues to give us hope in dark times·      The Love Island bromance between Zach and Bryce heating up that has all of us screaming “Girth check!”Niche Girls:·      X-Men ’97 Season 2 – and the stories that resonate even more powerfully today·      House of Dragons Season 3 – and the upcoming stories about to devastate our timelines·      Alaska’s new song “Revolution” – and culture’s hunger for a revolutionary figureIt Girls Who Got Away:·      Tinashe, fighting for her space in the music industry tooth and nail·      The Baby Black Pegasus, from 1940’s Fantasia who needs a full franchise now·      Girlicious, from the Mastermind of the Pussycat Dolls Robin AntinIn this pod, we go down every wormhole imaginable.
