1-900-VERY-FAMOUS: Debbie Reynolds’ 1990 Workout Tape

Things that made us go “wow!” this week:

📽The Chandelier Delight of Do It Debbie’s Way—Writer Rachel Syme discovered that all of Debbie Reynolds’ 1983 exercise video Do It Debbie’s Way was on YouTube, and it is a true, campy gem. There’s a set that looks like a Barbie Dreamhouse, big-band music playing in the back creating a sensually surreal retirement community environment, and Shelley Winters in the back refusing to do the exercises while wearing a sweatshirt that says “I’m Only Doing This For Debbie”. They gossip about Marlon Brando and, at one point, Debbie asks how many of the women have slept with Howard Hughes. It’s a video that feels almost too perfect in its campiness, and that’s all I’ll say because perhaps this deserves a separate story. Thank you to Carly Jordan for alerting Very Famous to this!

👽Moschino x The Sims

The pop-culture candyland factory of Jeremy Scott’s Moschino have sent out into the world a Moschino capsule with the theme of The Sims 4. The photos of real-life models inserted in Sims environments are just fab.

👄Happy 20th Anniversary, Nars Orgasm!

I remember first trying on a swatch of Nars Orgasm, feeling daring while doing so, during a high-school trip to Sephora. It felt seductively adult and still does! “I actually first created the name, then the shade — I wanted something shocking,” François Nars tells Allure of the shade he dreamed up in 1999. It’s peachy-gold-pink luv!
