"What turns you on?" Laura asks Charles. "Oh my god...so much!" There is a spectre haunting the consciousness of gay people and this week the girls are speculating about the size of that spectre. In this Patreon exclusive, Vanity Project takes on Troye Sivan’s new album, Something To Give Each Other. The album is surprisingly dense with provocation. Rush, the song about amyl-infused chemsex, naturally stimulated discourse about body positivity (see also: Lizzo) and got the girls to loosen their lips about Australia's sweetheart. The album’s promotion had some inciting remarks from Sivan about his own unbelievable positionality (see: topping and bottoming), and the music video for One Of Your Girls awakened something in Laura that she may never recover from. Vanity Project’s unique perspective is the only one that can decode it all. This is actually something we wanted to clear up. We think that, in the sort of consciousness of gay people, we’re some crazy power bottoms or something, which is just...not the case. Vanity Project is moving to fortnightly paywalled content.
