The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie & Lina
Welcome to The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie and Lina, a new weekly podcast hosted by DJ/activist Lina Bradford and fashion legend Connie Fleming, the show offers unprecedented access to the icons, secrets, and untold stories that shaped queer culture. Lina and Connie are both trailblazing women of transgender experience, with deep backgrounds hosting and performing in NYC’s most storied clubs—and pioneering on fashion runways. They bring their knowledge, stories, and relationships to “The Cutting Up,” offering audiences a backstage pass to authentic conversations that can only happen between true friends and industry legends. “The Cutting Up” goes deep on fashion, music, activism, and identity.

Warhol, Ryan Murphy, and Falling off the Catwalk: A Kiki with Dianne Brill
We jump right into the wars—the fashion wars! Connie and Lina break down the rivalry between big NYC fashion designers—which models could walk for whom? And who were you disrespecting if you sat with whom? Child, the anxiety lingers! And then—ding dong!—enter the fabulous fashion designer, model, author, O.G. club kid, and the forever “It” Girl, Dianne Brill! Dianne dishes on her pal Andy Warhol, the myth and the reality (and his endowment), the problem with Ry*n M*rphy (we don’t need to get sued, honey), and what it takes to be a Mugler muse and head judge on Drag Race Germany. And we go fishin’.
