Can fashion kill? Join us for a chilling exploration into history's most dangerous style trends, where the quest for beauty often came with a deadly price. From the haunting allure of arsenic-laden green dresses that led to tragic fates like that of Matilda Schreier, to the mercury madness that defined the felt hat industry, we unravel the perilous choices fashionistas made in the name of style. This episode promises a spine-tingling journey through time, uncovering tales of toxic dyes, suffocating collars, and even radioactive makeup, all while pondering the bizarre and hazardous lengths people went to for the sake of fashion.

Laugh with us as we reflect on how modern fashion has evolved, thankfully prioritizing safety over mere aesthetic appeal. While reminiscing about corseted waists and fanny packs, we offer a friendly reminder to use a dash of common sense before accepting any trend that comes your way. With a playful nod to the past, we humorously caution our listeners to remember that while trends may come and go, staying safe—and stylish—should always remain a priority. So grab your favorite (safe) accessory and tune in for a captivating blend of history, humor, and heartfelt advice.
