Mike White’s Wild Hallucination, Dolly Parton’s Jeans, and Shoulder Pads Are Back

In This Episode:

• Mike White Hallucinated Season 3 of The White Lotus – The show’s creator dreamed up the new season while hospitalized in Thailand.

• Dolly Parton Launches "Joleans" Jeans – The country legend is dropping a denim collection inspired by her hit song.

• ‘80s Shoulder Pads Are Making a Comeback – The fashion trend is back in stores after resurfacing on the runway.

Mike White Hallucinated Season 3 of The White Lotus

The entire third season of The White Lotus came to creator Mike White in a dream—or more accurately, a medical hallucination. While scouting locations in Thailand, he was hospitalized with bronchitis and put on a nebulizer, which sent his imagination into overdrive. After two sleepless nights, the entire plot came to him. Producer David Bernad confirmed that what White envisioned is almost exactly what made it to screen.

Dolly Parton Launches "Joleans" Jeans

Dolly Parton is expanding her empire into denim with a new line called Joleans—a clever nod to her classic song Jolene. The limited-edition collection, created in collaboration with Khloé Kardashian’s brand Good American, is available online and in select Nordstrom stores starting today. With sizes ranging from XS to 5X and prices between $64 and $229, Dolly promises these jeans “make any butt look good.”

Huge ‘80s Style Shoulder Pads Are Back in Fashion

Fashion history is repeating itself—big ‘80s-style shoulder pads are back. Financial Times and Vogue have both reported on the trend, which first gained popularity among women aiming for a powerful, metropolitan look. After making a return on the runway last fall, blazers, suits, and blouses with oversized shoulder pads are now hitting stores. The real question is: Are they here to stay, or will they disappear as quickly as they did before?

I have to google later. Dolly Parton has teamed up
with Chloe Kardashian, and while that seems like an odd hair,
it's actually surprisingly genius. So she's teamed up with Chloe
for her good American jeans. Her she's got denim, She's
got a Dnim line. And so now Dolly Parton's gonna

they run anywhere from sixty four bucks to two hundred
and twenty nine dollars.

But she's so cute.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
She's like, they make any butt look good, especially if
you have a good butt, then it'll look really good.
But even if you don't have a good but even
if you don't have a good butt, it'll still look great.
I like their jeans. I had one pair, but I
don't know where it went now. But I like good
Americans too. They do stretch out a little bit though.
And then lastly, we'll stay on the fashion tip. What
was old is now new again, and that's eighties style
