NO MORE WIRE HANGERS! Wire hangers make weird "shoulder nipples" on heavy garments when you hang them up. The rounded, padded hangers won't do that, which is why Joan Crawford said she treats the dresses poorly. On a side note, I always wanted to do a two-person halloween costume of that scene from Mommie Dearest. Faye Dunaway is so terrifyingly unhinged and a grown man in pajamas with a curly wig would be hilarious.
I watched this episode for the first time before listening, and my first thought when the Crying Game bit started was "oh no, is this going to be another transphobic joke?" Like you guys, I picked up that her design was likely intended to be a red herring of sorts, and it didn't help that there's already been a few transphobic jokes on the show. I know the show is a product of its time - and some of my favourite shows from this era don't hold help well in this regard either - but it's still disappointing to see.
