(Recorded April 9, 2025) On this episode of Queer Temple, host Thalia Lash dives into the world of fashion, identity, and self-expression with a lineup of creative, style-savvy guests from Temple’s LGBTQIA+ community.

Anfisa Blyumina (She/Any), Sally Thistle (She/Her), and Terrel Bundy (He/Him) kick things off with a conversation about thrifting, queer style, and how clothing can be more than just fashion — it’s a statement, a shield, and a celebration of identity.

Next, Laila Page chats with fashion historian Eleanor Medhurst, creator of the blog Dressing Dykes, for a deep (and very cool) look at lesbian fashion through the decades — and how those style choices helped shape queer identity and visibility.

To close it out, Thalia sits down with artist Nic Lovejoy (He/Him) and Beauty Birds Co-President Ariana Droz (She/Her) to explore how art, fiber, and fashion can spark conversations, shift culture, and make space for authentic LGBTQIA+ representation.
