Hello Kevin.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, I'm so excited for this podcast because it's not
one gleek, but two gleeks who have combined, who have
multiplied their gleekness to outdo a lot of other Greeks,
which is really saying something.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And also like to make your to find your way
into Glee in this way in particular is unique exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
So first we have Marissa, who is twenty four years
old from New York. She watched Glee when it first aired,
but didn't become an active fan until twenty thirteen, and
since then it's been such a special part of her life,
especially the wardrobe, which is what you were saying. She
runs at Quinn for Great Outfits online and recreates outfits
worn by Quinn.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And Marco is also here. And Marco is twenty three
and lives in Riverside, calif And he started watching Glee
right after the series finale in twenty fifteen, keeping it
alive again. He runs Kurt Hummel Outfits and he recreates
outfits worn by Kurt. They found each other through their
love for the costuming on Glee, which we all love
(01:18):
and appreciate our incredible wardrobe costume designer lou Eirik and Kevin.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You recently showed me them on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Right, Yes, that's how we found them. So on TikTok
they recreated every outfit from season two episode New York,
and the caption said, ten years of hunting down screen
accurate Glee costumes and we finally brought them to New York.
It's unbelievable. If you haven't seen that on TikTok, please
go look it up. They have so many great videos,
so good. So I'm so excited for you all to
(01:50):
hear exactly how they found each other and find currently
still finding a lot of these costumes. This is Marissa
and Marco.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Hi, guys, Hi, amazing, thanks for coming on the show.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Thank you for having us that awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I can't believe. Okay, I don't even know where to begin.
Marissa and Marco are incredibly talented and insane people, and
I mean that with love. I mean that with love.
So yeah, we recently saw your TikTok some of your
(02:28):
tiktoks where you recreate the outfit, especially the season two
New York one, Oh my Gosh, which took ten years apparently.
Can you just back it up for us?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
How did you come to Glee?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And then also at one point we're like, you know
what I'm going to do, I'm going to find these outfits.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Well, I started watching the show in like twenty fifteen,
like literally right after it ended, like maybe a month after,
and and I watched it through, but I kind of
gravitated towards the close of it. And so around then
is when they had the show auction, so I bought
a few things from there. Just I was really into
(03:11):
like the costumes. For me, that's what kind of hooked
me from the show. And I liked a lot of
the girls costumes, but Churs was the most interesting for the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Guys, superior to any of us, to be honest.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I kind of latched onto his outfits, and you know,
I just started collecting as many pieces as I could.
There was this old Tumblr page called Fashion of Glee
that I would that would find all the pieces from
an hour searching eBay, and so then I just started
posting them on Instagram. Just it was very very basic
(03:46):
at first, and then that's when I kind of around them,
is when I met Marissa and my other friend Savannah
who was Rachel in those videos on TikTok, and then yeah, Marissa.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Well, I guess my story is kind of similar.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
When I watched the show, immediately I was drawn to
mainly Quinn's fashion, but I loved Britain as well, and
I remember the first outfit that I really loved was
Queen's Alpha that she wore during last Friday Night.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I don't know if you guys recall that, but I
was obsessed with me.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I feel like if I saw it, I would yeah, It's.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Just it's so cute, It's like pink. I love it.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
So that was the first piece that I bought, and
from there my original vision was like I want to
get the outfits and recreate videos of me doing the dances,
but that never up, just collecting all wardrobe pieces and
then starting a collection. But I mean that was like
in twenty thirteen, so by the time the auction happened,
(04:49):
the only thing I was able to get from the
auction was like a cherio top right, and everything else
people were like reselling secondhand from the auction.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Right.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
I found Marco's Instagram because he had his accountant before me,
and I thought it was so cool and I was
so inspired by it and we can we can friends
through it.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So yeah, we can become friends through Instagram. Basically, we're
on opposite sides of the country.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Where are you both?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
I'm in California riverside?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'm in New York.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And do you guys like now help each other in
finding pieces?
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, we would help each other all the time. We
would give each other pieces like for birthday gifts and
Christmas gifts and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh my sweet, I love those.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
When Chris was it was season one. Chris wanted a
photo proof of all of his outfits, and so before
every scene, they take photos of us in our outfits,
which is probably seen. And so I got all of
his looks from season one and I printed them out
and I put them on a board for him. So
(06:00):
he had a full board all of his Kurt looks
from season one.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What an array?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I mean, surely we would like stare at his outfits
and be like give me that.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh my, that poor boy. I was telling somebody somebody
about this. The other day he would walk out of
his trailer. I would just start like touching him because,
like you know, from having his clothes, like the textures,
like the different like you know, I was wearing like
hand me down whatever, and he was getting like Alexander
McQueen on the Regular, and so like I was really,
(06:34):
I like, let me just touch what this money buys,
you know, I want to do you each have a
favorite Alec Merca? Do you have a favorite Quinn outfit?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Marco?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Do you have a favorite Kurt outfit?
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Toom?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
What is it?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Actually, it's one that was never identified by that Tumblr
page that mom talking about, and for years I searched
and searched. Finally I was able to get my hands
in it, her actual piece from the show. So I
have like the costume to Hag if you want to.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
See it, Yes, it's like such a small little outfit,
but to me it was everything.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh with the hat, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I remember that she.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Wore it originally at the end of the New York episode,
which is a circle almost, and then she wore it
again in the season three Nationals episode, So so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
She repurposed her outfit. Okay, but what about your favorite.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Let's see looking. I love this jacket from blame it
on the alcohol. Yeah, where's this when he and Bert
have the you know, the sex talk. Yes, that one's
my favorite. I wore this at school all the time,
back when.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
It also fits like you guys are the same size.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
There were such good finds. I would wear it, like
we would both wear these stuff just the school every day,
like it was normal.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I mean that's the other too. Well, it's also like
the clothes War relay to. I mean, Kurts get a
little crazier. But depending on like what you're into, like
all of the all these things can be worn out
in daily life.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Yeah, we just talked about your New York recreation, which
was eerily accurate.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We actually looked at what am I doing? Can you
take us through? You had said that this took ten
years to complete.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Can you just take us through like a brief overview
of like how that all came to be and how
you guys all got together.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Well, I would say for us kind of like like
earily similar to the show, like New York was kind
of our like our like goal, Like I used to
go to college there after high school, I graduated and
moved there. That was kind of always like we're all
supposed to like meet in New York. Obviously, like COVID happened,
so kind of tank that a little bit, But we
(09:06):
were always just so fascinated by like this is like
these outfits are just the epitome of the show, Like
this whole everything, and then the past couple episodes and
seasons have led up to this. It just kind of
like the epitome of what Glee is. And I think
it's probably the most iconic looks from the show too.
So it was really just were we loved in New York.
(09:27):
We loved the outfits. We just just felt like the
goal for us. But these things were so hard to find.
Like Quinn's jacket, it was impossible to find because it's
like vintage from the sixties. My jacket I finally found
a few years ago was like vintage lip Service. I
don't know if you remember that brand. Yeah, yeah, It's
like it was very hard to to kind of get
(09:50):
all these pieces together, and we knew we wanted to
do it right, we want to do it accurate. You know,
we could we could have.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Gone Yeah, it was so well done.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
And we'ressa kind of she really like went all in
with the props and you know, like the balloons and
the ice cream, ice cream and the pretzels.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
She's like, this is my backyard. I got it.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Yeah, that Rachel Berry jagg get too is so iconic,
like that moment, like the whole thing. It just like
pulls everybody together. You're like, oh, I know where they are.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I know what.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That's our friend Savannah. She also does Rachel outfits. She
lives here in San Diego. We also met through Instagram
through Glee. Instagram's. Yeah, that coat is like just the
most iconic from the show, I feel but Borsa, you
should talk about your Quinn coat.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Quin's coat.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I feel like it's such an iconic piece of her wardrobe,
even the war once, but I could not find it
for years. I've gotten so close and it just was
not the right one. And I'm convinced that it's just
like sitting somewhere like a house that they like rented
to use it for the show.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes, probably after the rented it back and they yeah,
or some other TV show has it somewhere.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You know, they go into those warehouses oh, I.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Decided it was time for me to find somebody to
make it for me.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
No way.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah, So I ended up reaching out to somebody who
lives in Canada if they knew anybody who could commission
it for me. And I'm gonna shout out that person
if that's okay. There were VMC designs on Instagram and
I found him through this other person and he only
lives like twenty minutes for me, so it was like
(11:47):
meant to be in my eyes. And yeah, he was
so open to making the coat and he didn't say
anything about it at first. I just kind of sent
the pictures. I was like, I just need a boat whatever.
And then like a month later I met up with
him and he's.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Like, so, what is this for? And I'm like, well,
do you know Glee.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
He's like, no, I knew exactly what it was when
you said I.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Was like, oh okay.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I was like, yeah, my friends and.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
I we do cosplay and this is like ten years
in the making, so I really appreciate you making this
for me.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Oh my gosh, did anybody say anything to you guys
when you were filming that TikTok?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Like altogether?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Because like I just feel like that is one of
those things where you you definitely draw attention to yourselves
and being in those costumes.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But it is the middle of Times Square and there's
a lot of crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
No one said anything, but there were so many looks.
Especially when we got to Central Park, everybody was looking
at us and they thought we were a show. They
kept asking us, like where the show was. Really well,
it was like, oh, it already ended. Sorry, wow wow, yeah,
but it was so hot that day. It was ninety degrees,
(12:54):
it was humid.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, it was summer.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Good job, guys, great planning. We couldn't wait.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It didn't look like it was too hot though.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Wow, you guys.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
We wanted to ask you guys about your time filming
those scenes.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Do you remember, Oh yeah, New York, like very very
specifically remember all of that.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, it was so fast because when you're on location
in New York, there's no laws against like paparazzi or
anybody like having to be some certain distance away from you,
and so we were just like hounded by the paparazzi
the entire trip we were there. In addition to like
(13:37):
a ton of amazing fans that came out because it
was just at the height of the show, so we
were hiding in our trailers and we would come out
to film and they'd be like, you have ten minutes
to film this before it gets like really crazy here.
So I remember doing TKTS in like ten minutes, I
mean maybe maybe twenty. And then when we did Central Park,
(13:59):
we were able to we got there early and they
kind of roped off this little area for us. So
I remember hanging out Diana and Kevin and somebody had
a balloon ball that they had gotten. And so you
may see some photos like on Google if you found them,
like of us just kind of wandering Central Park. But
the ones on the benches, like where you guys shot
(14:20):
that we created it. Those were really fast too, because
there were paparazzi literally and we didn't want too much
to get out from the episode, so we were trying
to like rush and get all this done, but there
were paparazzi standing next to our cameramen, like literally next
to them and then following us as we were like moving.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
With the cameras.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
It was so bananas, but definitely one of the most
memorable times we film was like in New York City.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I mean that was home and then.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It was so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
It was like our first it was our first like
road trip, field trip sort of thing where we were
all out together and there were free Yeah, we had
never seen like, you know, like hundreds of people like
waiting for us. It was weird to have people watching
us film because like we'd always done on a closed set, right,
And it was really cool to be like in New York,
like like you guys and like the show, like the
(15:11):
whole point of like getting to New York to get
to go do this for multiple reasons, and we were there.
It was like a dream of mine to be able
to film in New York, and so all of it
just felt really surreal. And they just do things differently
there as well, like the fact, you know, our trailers
were on the street and anybody can just walk up.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It was very It's a whole different experience.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
And I love watching the episode and you can see
just the lines of crowds in the background.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I was so concerned too, I'm like, you guys, what
are we going to do in the camera. We're like,
it's just how it is, like there's no way to
get around it.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
But everyone was shocked. The crew was shocked.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
It was.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We had so much fun.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Though.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I know, like in those numbers and things, I think
it looks like we're having fun, but anyday life it really,
it really was.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So much fun.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Did you guys film all those songs in like one
one day? All the all the scenes for that song?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Two days?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Really?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
No, No, as long as right was it we did?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I Love New York.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Was mainly in Washington Square, right, and then we did
like the TKTS thing, you know what, You're right, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think it was two days at Max because we
did Washington Square Park, Lincoln Center.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Is that was that one day, and then we.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Did GKT as it was another. Central Park was another day,
so maybe three days. But it was fat.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It was really really fast, and I feel like when
we left New York and came back to l A
were like did we even film an episode?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Because I feel like we did nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You know, we spent hours on scenes usually and these
were like minutes, I mean truly minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
They were like, Okay, we got it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Quest one was when we were walking down that like
laying with the benches and snow with Central Park.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Central Park, we had so fast.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
We were hanging out in Central Park for a while,
but when we actually shot it, I think we did.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Like minutes two or three takes.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
It was really quick.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
It was also hot when we shot too, and I
remember being in that beanie and that green jacket, like
I am, it is very hot here. I know. We
talked about the costumes a lot, and you guys, you're
sourcing of these incredible uh you know, recreations. I'm just
(17:39):
curious of like how the show, how you came upon
the show, and if you rewatched it all, or how
long it's been since you've seen it.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Oh my god, It's been a while since I've rewinded
the show. But I always come back and rewatch scenes.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Of course, which scenes to you? Like, would you say
you would come back and.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
Watch anything with Kevin and Grant? I love that And
I'm big Cooper Anderson.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
To watch a lot.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Masterclass is now my master class, Marko, what about you?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I haven't rewatched it in a while. I did get
into it, like right after an ended. My mom would
watch it and I remember, like, you know, sneaking up
watch a couple of scenes while she was watching at night.
But I used to study like all the scenes and
everything to find like exact outfits because sometimes you would
only see like a sliver of a shoe. So I
(18:50):
would study like scenes a lot, looking for like Kurt's outfits.
But you know, I think it's overdue for another rewatch.
I think it's been long enough. I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
We're not pressuring you. It's fine.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
But I still do listen to some of the songs though, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean Chasing Pavements is probably like I listen to
that every couple of days.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, yeah, all these ones that we're reminded of.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I know, this is this is why we love having
you guys on because it's like we don't know what
everybody has something a little different.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yes, how does it work with the sourcing of all
of these outfits?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm sure there's no one size fits all. I'm sure
it's a little every outfit has a different road to
finding it, but like, what does that look like for
you guys?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Well, since it's all online, it's like kind of have
to just hope it's gonna fit.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
You can ask for measurements from these sellers, and a
lot of these sellers actually have gone inactive.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Because these clothing items are from like twenty time.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Right.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Sometimes you'll get lucky and you'll find like the exact
piece you're looking for in your size, or maybe you'll
find it like a couple of sizes bigger, like I'll
just bring it to the tailor. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Of course, it's also crazy like searching for these pieces.
Like back when I first started, maybe like twenty fifteen
and sixteen, like a lot of it was a lot
easier to find because you know, there were these items
were just in the stores. The people are like just
now reselling them now it's like vintage forever twenty one.
I'm like, oh god, like it's scary, Like it's been
(20:32):
almost like fifteen years now and they're like vintage and
it's like overpriced. All right, Oh that's crazy like that,
I know. But yeah, a lot of just kind of
line searching, like a lot of things weren't identified too,
so you just kind of search up brands or maybe
like the pattern of it. I had like saved searches
(20:53):
on eBay and like Poshmark and all that. Yeah, it'd
always hurt when you would find like something on Poshmark
and it says like the seller has been the inactive
for like three years, like I'll come back message in
like every couple of months. Hello, I can take my
money please screaming.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I've never met anyone who like sort of their entry
point or like the thing they latched onto the show
was the fashion, like this the clothing, and I love that,
and like we think like Lou the clothing designer is
just the queen of all things, like she's unbelievable. Do
interview work in fashion or go to school for fashion?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Like was it?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Do you have an interest in fashion before this? Like
how did this sort of fit into your lives?
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I was really into fashion. I actually went to the
Fashion Institute Technology in New York amazing right after high school.
Uh I finished my associates there online after like COVID happened.
But now I'm getting into interior design, so still kind
of like on the design level. Yeah, yeah, I've always
had an interest in the fashion, and I do also
(22:00):
enjoy like TV like set costuming too, so I think
that's kind of why I latched onto maybe like the
more behind the scenes aspect of like you know, the
continuity sheets that actually have a couple if you guys
want to see. But we would like like these like
tags or like the costume tags.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Or like we needed those in case you had to
like go back in the archives to like recreate.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Or like this one would be like, oh, this is
pretty cool. I have like all of Sarah Jessica Parker's
ones from Makeover.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Oh my gosh, well you'd never get any of her
clothes because she.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Has Yeah she kept them off. Yeah, brilliant. Yeah, I
do love that aspect of it, like the set costuming part.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
What about you, Mersa.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I mean, I'm definitely into fashion, but not the way
Marco is. For me, it was more so I just
wanted to, like I said, recreate the dances.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That's how it.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Yeah, I mean I like to perform. I like to act,
so that that's more of.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
What I latched onto.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
And I was like, I'm going to be the character.
I need to embody the character. For me, it's the
wardrobe that helps me.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah, that's kind of what started it for me.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
My gosh, you guys are so cool.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Did you guys think that the videos were or that
the pictures were Like, were you guys at first when
you were looking at Oh? Yes, yeah really.

saw it's like you guys are facing away, all the
girls are like facing away, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (23:45):

Speaker 2 (23:46):
I was like, I was like, oh, yeah, what is

who are those people?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (24:00):

Speaker 4 (24:01):

tag using clips all the time. You're like and you
just have to like look one step closer and you're like, right,
that's not us. But you guys look like really good.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's I mean, nothing has been done that close before.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Like that was by far the most accurate obviously yea
ever been because like, you know, there's like people who
do like Halloween and things. This is not that you know,
this is no, no, no, this is not that.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Marissa Versa and I actually did the the Curtain Blaine
Halloween costumes. If you remember that, the Snookie in the situation.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, did you guys hang out, Like do you guys
meet up every couple of years to see each other.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
We first met at her parents took her or her
grandma took her on a road trip to meet my
family in Pennsylvania, and I flew to her. We went
to prom together at her school and we did.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Where we wore Quinn Santana and Kurt's Season three Problems
because my sister went to prom with me as well.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
It's so good, I love.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
And it was like an opportunity for us to be together.
So we were like, yeah, let's just wear the outfits
and go to my problem take.

Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
It is the moment. You then have the sets as well,
you're like on set.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
And then after COVID we kind of we didn't see
each other for a couple of years, but I've gone
back to New York a couple of times in the
past few years, so we've been hanging out a little
bit more recently.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Amazing And actually before COVID, we actually went to the

facets there are to the Glee fandom and how it

accurate costumes.

Welcome to you and That's what you Really miss podcast.
Gleig is the Week.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hello Kevin.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, I'm so excited for this podcast because it's not
one gleek, but two gleeks who have combined, who have
multiplied their gleekness to outdo a lot of other Greeks,
which is really saying something.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And also like to make your to find your way
into Glee in this way in particular is unique exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
So first we have Marissa, who is twenty four years
old from New York. She watched Glee when it first aired,
but didn't become an active fan until twenty thirteen, and
since then it's been such a special part of her life,
especially the wardrobe, which is what you were saying. She
runs at Quinn for Great Outfits online and recreates outfits
worn by Quinn.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And Marco is also here. And Marco is twenty three
and lives in Riverside, calif And he started watching Glee
right after the series finale in twenty fifteen, keeping it
alive again. He runs Kurt Hummel Outfits and he recreates
outfits worn by Kurt. They found each other through their
love for the costuming on Glee, which we all love
(01:18):
and appreciate our incredible wardrobe costume designer lou Eirik and Kevin.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You recently showed me them on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Right, Yes, that's how we found them. So on TikTok
they recreated every outfit from season two episode New York,
and the caption said, ten years of hunting down screen
accurate Glee costumes and we finally brought them to New York.
It's unbelievable. If you haven't seen that on TikTok, please
go look it up. They have so many great videos,
so good. So I'm so excited for you all to
(01:50):
hear exactly how they found each other and find currently
still finding a lot of these costumes. This is Marissa
and Marco.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Hi, guys, Hi, amazing, thanks for coming on the show.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Thank you for having us that awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I can't believe. Okay, I don't even know where to begin.
Marissa and Marco are incredibly talented and insane people, and
I mean that with love. I mean that with love.
So yeah, we recently saw your TikTok some of your
(02:28):
tiktoks where you recreate the outfit, especially the season two
New York one, Oh my Gosh, which took ten years apparently.
Can you just back it up for us?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
How did you come to Glee?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And then also at one point we're like, you know
what I'm going to do, I'm going to find these outfits.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Well, I started watching the show in like twenty fifteen,
like literally right after it ended, like maybe a month after,
and and I watched it through, but I kind of
gravitated towards the close of it. And so around then
is when they had the show auction, so I bought
a few things from there. Just I was really into
(03:11):
like the costumes. For me, that's what kind of hooked
me from the show. And I liked a lot of
the girls costumes, but Churs was the most interesting for the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Guys, superior to any of us, to be honest.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I kind of latched onto his outfits, and you know,
I just started collecting as many pieces as I could.
There was this old Tumblr page called Fashion of Glee
that I would that would find all the pieces from
an hour searching eBay, and so then I just started
posting them on Instagram. Just it was very very basic
(03:46):
at first, and then that's when I kind of around them,
is when I met Marissa and my other friend Savannah
who was Rachel in those videos on TikTok, and then yeah, Marissa.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Well, I guess my story is kind of similar.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
When I watched the show, immediately I was drawn to
mainly Quinn's fashion, but I loved Britain as well, and
I remember the first outfit that I really loved was
Queen's Alpha that she wore during last Friday Night.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I don't know if you guys recall that, but I
was obsessed with me.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I feel like if I saw it, I would yeah, It's.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Just it's so cute, It's like pink. I love it.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
So that was the first piece that I bought, and
from there my original vision was like I want to
get the outfits and recreate videos of me doing the dances,
but that never up, just collecting all wardrobe pieces and
then starting a collection. But I mean that was like
in twenty thirteen, so by the time the auction happened,
(04:49):
the only thing I was able to get from the
auction was like a cherio top right, and everything else
people were like reselling secondhand from the auction.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Right.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
I found Marco's Instagram because he had his accountant before me,
and I thought it was so cool and I was
so inspired by it and we can we can friends
through it.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So yeah, we can become friends through Instagram. Basically, we're
on opposite sides of the country.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Where are you both?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
I'm in California riverside?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'm in New York.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And do you guys like now help each other in
finding pieces?
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, we would help each other all the time. We
would give each other pieces like for birthday gifts and
Christmas gifts and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh my sweet, I love those.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
When Chris was it was season one. Chris wanted a
photo proof of all of his outfits, and so before
every scene, they take photos of us in our outfits,
which is probably seen. And so I got all of
his looks from season one and I printed them out
and I put them on a board for him. So
(06:00):
he had a full board all of his Kurt looks
from season one.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What an array?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I mean, surely we would like stare at his outfits
and be like give me that.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh my, that poor boy. I was telling somebody somebody
about this. The other day he would walk out of
his trailer. I would just start like touching him because,
like you know, from having his clothes, like the textures,
like the different like you know, I was wearing like
hand me down whatever, and he was getting like Alexander
McQueen on the Regular, and so like I was really,
(06:34):
I like, let me just touch what this money buys,
you know, I want to do you each have a
favorite Alec Merca? Do you have a favorite Quinn outfit?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Marco?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Do you have a favorite Kurt outfit?
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Toom?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
What is it?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Actually, it's one that was never identified by that Tumblr
page that mom talking about, and for years I searched
and searched. Finally I was able to get my hands
in it, her actual piece from the show. So I
have like the costume to Hag if you want to.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
See it, Yes, it's like such a small little outfit,
but to me it was everything.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh with the hat, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I remember that she.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Wore it originally at the end of the New York episode,
which is a circle almost, and then she wore it
again in the season three Nationals episode, So so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
She repurposed her outfit. Okay, but what about your favorite.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Let's see looking. I love this jacket from blame it
on the alcohol. Yeah, where's this when he and Bert
have the you know, the sex talk. Yes, that one's
my favorite. I wore this at school all the time,
back when.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
It also fits like you guys are the same size.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
There were such good finds. I would wear it, like
we would both wear these stuff just the school every day,
like it was normal.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I mean that's the other too. Well, it's also like
the clothes War relay to. I mean, Kurts get a
little crazier. But depending on like what you're into, like
all of the all these things can be worn out
in daily life.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Yeah, we just talked about your New York recreation, which
was eerily accurate.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We actually looked at what am I doing? Can you
take us through? You had said that this took ten
years to complete.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Can you just take us through like a brief overview
of like how that all came to be and how
you guys all got together.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Well, I would say for us kind of like like
earily similar to the show, like New York was kind
of our like our like goal, Like I used to
go to college there after high school, I graduated and
moved there. That was kind of always like we're all
supposed to like meet in New York. Obviously, like COVID happened,
so kind of tank that a little bit, But we
(09:06):
were always just so fascinated by like this is like
these outfits are just the epitome of the show, Like
this whole everything, and then the past couple episodes and
seasons have led up to this. It just kind of
like the epitome of what Glee is. And I think
it's probably the most iconic looks from the show too.
So it was really just were we loved in New York.
(09:27):
We loved the outfits. We just just felt like the
goal for us. But these things were so hard to find.
Like Quinn's jacket, it was impossible to find because it's
like vintage from the sixties. My jacket I finally found
a few years ago was like vintage lip Service. I
don't know if you remember that brand. Yeah, yeah, It's
like it was very hard to to kind of get
(09:50):
all these pieces together, and we knew we wanted to
do it right, we want to do it accurate. You know,
we could we could have.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Gone Yeah, it was so well done.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
And we'ressa kind of she really like went all in
with the props and you know, like the balloons and
the ice cream, ice cream and the pretzels.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
She's like, this is my backyard. I got it.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Yeah, that Rachel Berry jagg get too is so iconic,
like that moment, like the whole thing. It just like
pulls everybody together. You're like, oh, I know where they are.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I know what.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That's our friend Savannah. She also does Rachel outfits. She
lives here in San Diego. We also met through Instagram
through Glee. Instagram's. Yeah, that coat is like just the
most iconic from the show, I feel but Borsa, you
should talk about your Quinn coat.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Quin's coat.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I feel like it's such an iconic piece of her wardrobe,
even the war once, but I could not find it
for years. I've gotten so close and it just was
not the right one. And I'm convinced that it's just
like sitting somewhere like a house that they like rented
to use it for the show.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes, probably after the rented it back and they yeah,
or some other TV show has it somewhere.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You know, they go into those warehouses oh, I.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Decided it was time for me to find somebody to
make it for me.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
No way.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah, So I ended up reaching out to somebody who
lives in Canada if they knew anybody who could commission
it for me. And I'm gonna shout out that person
if that's okay. There were VMC designs on Instagram and
I found him through this other person and he only
lives like twenty minutes for me, so it was like
(11:47):
meant to be in my eyes. And yeah, he was
so open to making the coat and he didn't say
anything about it at first. I just kind of sent
the pictures. I was like, I just need a boat whatever.
And then like a month later I met up with
him and he's.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Like, so, what is this for? And I'm like, well,
do you know Glee.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
He's like, no, I knew exactly what it was when
you said I.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Was like, oh okay.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I was like, yeah, my friends and.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
I we do cosplay and this is like ten years
in the making, so I really appreciate you making this
for me.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Oh my gosh, did anybody say anything to you guys
when you were filming that TikTok?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Like altogether?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Because like I just feel like that is one of
those things where you you definitely draw attention to yourselves
and being in those costumes.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But it is the middle of Times Square and there's
a lot of crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
No one said anything, but there were so many looks.
Especially when we got to Central Park, everybody was looking
at us and they thought we were a show. They
kept asking us, like where the show was. Really well,
it was like, oh, it already ended. Sorry, wow wow, yeah,
but it was so hot that day. It was ninety degrees,
(12:54):
it was humid.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, it was summer.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Good job, guys, great planning. We couldn't wait.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It didn't look like it was too hot though.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Wow, you guys.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
We wanted to ask you guys about your time filming
those scenes.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Do you remember, Oh yeah, New York, like very very
specifically remember all of that.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, it was so fast because when you're on location
in New York, there's no laws against like paparazzi or
anybody like having to be some certain distance away from you,
and so we were just like hounded by the paparazzi
the entire trip we were there. In addition to like
(13:37):
a ton of amazing fans that came out because it
was just at the height of the show, so we
were hiding in our trailers and we would come out
to film and they'd be like, you have ten minutes
to film this before it gets like really crazy here.
So I remember doing TKTS in like ten minutes, I
mean maybe maybe twenty. And then when we did Central Park,
(13:59):
we were able to we got there early and they
kind of roped off this little area for us. So
I remember hanging out Diana and Kevin and somebody had
a balloon ball that they had gotten. And so you
may see some photos like on Google if you found them,
like of us just kind of wandering Central Park. But
the ones on the benches, like where you guys shot
(14:20):
that we created it. Those were really fast too, because
there were paparazzi literally and we didn't want too much
to get out from the episode, so we were trying
to like rush and get all this done, but there
were paparazzi standing next to our cameramen, like literally next
to them and then following us as we were like moving.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
With the cameras.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
It was so bananas, but definitely one of the most
memorable times we film was like in New York City.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I mean that was home and then.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It was so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
It was like our first it was our first like
road trip, field trip sort of thing where we were
all out together and there were free Yeah, we had
never seen like, you know, like hundreds of people like
waiting for us. It was weird to have people watching
us film because like we'd always done on a closed set, right,
And it was really cool to be like in New York,
like like you guys and like the show, like the
(15:11):
whole point of like getting to New York to get
to go do this for multiple reasons, and we were there.
It was like a dream of mine to be able
to film in New York, and so all of it
just felt really surreal. And they just do things differently
there as well, like the fact, you know, our trailers
were on the street and anybody can just walk up.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It was very It's a whole different experience.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
And I love watching the episode and you can see
just the lines of crowds in the background.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I was so concerned too, I'm like, you guys, what
are we going to do in the camera. We're like,
it's just how it is, like there's no way to
get around it.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
But everyone was shocked. The crew was shocked.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
It was.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We had so much fun.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Though.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I know, like in those numbers and things, I think
it looks like we're having fun, but anyday life it really,
it really was.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So much fun.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Did you guys film all those songs in like one
one day? All the all the scenes for that song?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Two days?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Really?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
No, No, as long as right was it we did?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I Love New York.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Was mainly in Washington Square, right, and then we did
like the TKTS thing, you know what, You're right, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think it was two days at Max because we
did Washington Square Park, Lincoln Center.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Is that was that one day, and then we.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Did GKT as it was another. Central Park was another day,
so maybe three days. But it was fat.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It was really really fast, and I feel like when
we left New York and came back to l A
were like did we even film an episode?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Because I feel like we did nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You know, we spent hours on scenes usually and these
were like minutes, I mean truly minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
They were like, Okay, we got it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Quest one was when we were walking down that like
laying with the benches and snow with Central Park.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Central Park, we had so fast.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
We were hanging out in Central Park for a while,
but when we actually shot it, I think we did.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Like minutes two or three takes.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
It was really quick.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
It was also hot when we shot too, and I
remember being in that beanie and that green jacket, like
I am, it is very hot here. I know. We
talked about the costumes a lot, and you guys, you're
sourcing of these incredible uh you know, recreations. I'm just
(17:39):
curious of like how the show, how you came upon
the show, and if you rewatched it all, or how
long it's been since you've seen it.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Oh my god, It's been a while since I've rewinded
the show. But I always come back and rewatch scenes.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Of course, which scenes to you? Like, would you say
you would come back and.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
Watch anything with Kevin and Grant? I love that And
I'm big Cooper Anderson.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
To watch a lot.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Masterclass is now my master class, Marko, what about you?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I haven't rewatched it in a while. I did get
into it, like right after an ended. My mom would
watch it and I remember, like, you know, sneaking up
watch a couple of scenes while she was watching at night.
But I used to study like all the scenes and
everything to find like exact outfits because sometimes you would
only see like a sliver of a shoe. So I
(18:50):
would study like scenes a lot, looking for like Kurt's outfits.
But you know, I think it's overdue for another rewatch.
I think it's been long enough. I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
We're not pressuring you. It's fine.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
But I still do listen to some of the songs though, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean Chasing Pavements is probably like I listen to
that every couple of days.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, yeah, all these ones that we're reminded of.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I know, this is this is why we love having
you guys on because it's like we don't know what
everybody has something a little different.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yes, how does it work with the sourcing of all
of these outfits?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm sure there's no one size fits all. I'm sure
it's a little every outfit has a different road to
finding it, but like, what does that look like for
you guys?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Well, since it's all online, it's like kind of have
to just hope it's gonna fit.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
You can ask for measurements from these sellers, and a
lot of these sellers actually have gone inactive.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Because these clothing items are from like twenty time.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Right.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Sometimes you'll get lucky and you'll find like the exact
piece you're looking for in your size, or maybe you'll
find it like a couple of sizes bigger, like I'll
just bring it to the tailor. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Of course, it's also crazy like searching for these pieces.
Like back when I first started, maybe like twenty fifteen
and sixteen, like a lot of it was a lot
easier to find because you know, there were these items
were just in the stores. The people are like just
now reselling them now it's like vintage forever twenty one.
I'm like, oh god, like it's scary, Like it's been
(20:32):
almost like fifteen years now and they're like vintage and
it's like overpriced. All right, Oh that's crazy like that,
I know. But yeah, a lot of just kind of
line searching, like a lot of things weren't identified too,
so you just kind of search up brands or maybe
like the pattern of it. I had like saved searches
(20:53):
on eBay and like Poshmark and all that. Yeah, it'd
always hurt when you would find like something on Poshmark
and it says like the seller has been the inactive
for like three years, like I'll come back message in
like every couple of months. Hello, I can take my
money please screaming.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I've never met anyone who like sort of their entry
point or like the thing they latched onto the show
was the fashion, like this the clothing, and I love that,
and like we think like Lou the clothing designer is
just the queen of all things, like she's unbelievable. Do
interview work in fashion or go to school for fashion?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Like was it?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Do you have an interest in fashion before this? Like
how did this sort of fit into your lives?
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I was really into fashion. I actually went to the
Fashion Institute Technology in New York amazing right after high school.
Uh I finished my associates there online after like COVID happened.
But now I'm getting into interior design, so still kind
of like on the design level. Yeah, yeah, I've always
had an interest in the fashion, and I do also
(22:00):
enjoy like TV like set costuming too, so I think
that's kind of why I latched onto maybe like the
more behind the scenes aspect of like you know, the
continuity sheets that actually have a couple if you guys
want to see. But we would like like these like
tags or like the costume tags.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Or like we needed those in case you had to
like go back in the archives to like recreate.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Or like this one would be like, oh, this is
pretty cool. I have like all of Sarah Jessica Parker's
ones from Makeover.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Oh my gosh, well you'd never get any of her
clothes because she.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Has Yeah she kept them off. Yeah, brilliant. Yeah, I
do love that aspect of it, like the set costuming part.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
What about you, Mersa.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I mean, I'm definitely into fashion, but not the way
Marco is. For me, it was more so I just
wanted to, like I said, recreate the dances.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That's how it.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Yeah, I mean I like to perform. I like to act,
so that that's more of.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
What I latched onto.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
And I was like, I'm going to be the character.
I need to embody the character. For me, it's the
wardrobe that helps me.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah, that's kind of what started it for me.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
My gosh, you guys are so cool.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Did you guys think that the videos were or that
the pictures were Like, were you guys at first when
you were looking at Oh? Yes, yeah really.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Because I forgot who sent Somebody sent it to me.
Somebody sent me one of the videos something and I
saw it's like you guys are facing away, all the
girls are like facing away, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I was like, I was like, oh, yeah, what is
this from? I just assumed it was us, didn't even
like I looked at it. I was like, oh, this
is from the show. And then I started playing. I'm like, wait, like,
who are those people?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, because we're just used to seeing clips, like people
tag using clips all the time. You're like and you
just have to like look one step closer and you're like, right,
that's not us. But you guys look like really good.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's I mean, nothing has been done that close before.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Like that was by far the most accurate obviously yea
ever been because like, you know, there's like people who
do like Halloween and things. This is not that you know,
this is no, no, no, this is not that.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Marissa Versa and I actually did the the Curtain Blaine
Halloween costumes. If you remember that, the Snookie in the situation.
Speaker 2 (24:43):

meet up every couple of years to see each other.
Speaker 5 (24:52):

grandma took her on a road trip to meet my
family in Pennsylvania, and I flew to her. We went
to prom together at her school and we did.

each other for a couple of years, but I've gone
back to New York a couple of times in the
past few years, so we've been hanging out a little
bit more recently.
