  • Blakely Thornton on Pop Culture as Sociology, Gay Beauty Standards, and What Makes An It Girl

    Blakely Thornton on Pop Culture as Sociology, Gay Beauty Standards, and What Makes An It Girl
    Oct 5 2026

    Blakely Thornton is an original. A self-described Pop Culture Anthropologist and Out 100 Honoree, Blakely has built a digital career that uniquely spans comedy, entertainment, and style. On social media, fans flock to him for his honest, no-holds-barred commentary on their favorite topics. Others tune into Yestergays to hear him and his podcast co-host critique fashion and celebrity culture with his signature wit. Celebrities are smitten with him, often tickled by their engagements at red carpet events like the Met Gala and ultra-exclusive gyms. This very public, creative life wasn't what Blakely imagined for himself as an athletic kid growing up in Dallas, Texas. Blakely was a closeted football player at UPenn, majoring in finance and hoping to follow in his parents' footsteps into a respectable, stable career. Headed towards a traditionally corporate career, Blakely worked at Ralph Lauren and pursued the corporate finance life until he didn’t.

    Eventually, Blakely decided that he wouldn’t spend another twenty years as anything other than his full self, and it has paid off. Instead of trying to find ways to inject creativity into a 9-5, Blakely leverages his taste and honesty into a living. During our conversation, we cover everything pop culture, from GLP1s to what makes an It Girl to how much attention Zendaya is actually generating for films and fashion houses. We cover the other side of being very popular online, like the mean comments on Reddit, being seen only as a product, and being expected to carry the emotional weight of a fanbase. Blakely is open about the mental and emotional safeguards he needs to manage the opinions of hundreds of thousands of fans, and why he turns to working out to maintain his peace of mind. We also chat about misogynistic beauty standards, how he makes friends with so many celebrities, and why Heated Rivalry was so impactful.

  • The Truth About Hair Restoration, Growth Supplements & Protective Styles ft. Trichologist Ashley Zsaton

    The Truth About Hair Restoration, Growth Supplements & Protective Styles ft. Trichologist Ashley Zsaton
    Sep 28 2026
    Ashley Zsaton, DNP, ACNP-AG, learned about hair politics early. Growing up biracial in Milwaukee, she wasn’t always accepted for wearing her natural curls. Her search to understand what people meant by "good" and "bad" hair led her to become a board-certified nurse practitioner and hair loss specialist. As co-founder of the Hollywood Hair Institute, California’s preeminent hair transplant & aesthetic treatment center, Dr. Zsaton established herself as a leading hair restoration specialist and trichologist. Her medical background also includes supporting patients in critical conditions in the ICU and in ophthalmology, where her research led to the national publication of a school-based vision screening program. But before she began her medical career, she was trying to develop a healthy relationship with her own hair. A move to the Dominican Republic opened her eyes to the incredible beauty and versatility of naturally curly hair. In the Dominican Republic, Dr. Zsaton was exposed to a country filled with curly hair styled and cared for in all manner of styles. She brought this newfound passion for hair back to the States, and when she decided to pursue a career in medicine, her husband encouraged her to follow her interest in scalp care towards medical aesthetics. Fast forward to now, and Dr. Zsaton is changing lives by helping people access the hair restoration treatments that are best for them. During our conversation, we discussed every hair restoration treatment from PRP to Follicular Unit Extraction to Minoxidil. Dr. Zsaton walked us through what a good surgical candidate profile looks like, and which alternatives may be a better fit for her patients. In fact, Brooke walked us through the exact routine Dr. Zsaton prepared for her and detailed how effective each product has been in growing her hair. Dr. Zsaton doesn’t hold back when it comes to telling us which hairstyles may be causing the most damage, for men and women, and which products aren’t doing anything helpful at all. She gives us a peek into the aesthetic innovations she’s explored in Turkey and Korea that she’d like to offer her patients here in the States. Dr. Zsaton offered an unfiltered, honest look at the limits and possibilities of hair restoration.Tune in as we discuss:(0:00) Welcome Ashley Zsaton, DNP, ACNP-AG(1:45) Scalp Care's Rising Popularity(3:00) How Good Hair vs. Bad Hair Conversations Impacted Her(3:30) Her Hair Health Journey(3:45) How the Dominican Republic Inspired Her Natural Hair Journey(4:00) What Inspired Her Medical Career(5:40) Defining Hair Terminology(8:30) Which Hairstyles May Cause Hair Loss(9:00) What To Do When Your Braids Are Too Tight(11:40) Differences In Types of Hair Transplants(15:00) Determining Hair Transplant Candidacy(17:10) How Iron Impacts Hair Thickness(19:25) Determining PRP Candidacy(22:25) Why Minoxidil Is Underrated(24:00) Why Ashley Hates Biotin(25:25) Hair Loss Starts Earlier Than We Think(27:24) Which Hair Conditions Cannot Be Fixed(30:20) Tips For Men With Hairline Concerns(32:00) Brooke's Full Hair Restoration Protocol(39:30) Why Keratin Treatments Can Be A Good Solution(43:43) Aesthetic Innovations in Turkey & Korea(47:15) Ashley's Haircare Regimen(49:40) Caring For Healthy Bleached Hair(52:00) When Ashley Feels the Most BeautifulRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.

  • KJ Dillard on Skateboarding Aesthetics, Sunscreen, & Getting Emotional as a Man

    KJ Dillard on Skateboarding Aesthetics, Sunscreen, & Getting Emotional as a Man
    Sep 21 2026
    KJ Dillard is the definition of a multi-hyphenate. Before he became a Summer House fan favorite, KJ was a professional skateboarder, genre-defying musician, and model. How has he managed to achieve all of these dreams so fervently? He won’t allow anyone to put him in a box. Growing up in Kansas and Arizona, KJ learned early on how to adapt to different circumstances. Initially, he was part of a well-to-do community, but his parents' divorce shifted everything, and he soon found himself in an entirely new world. KJ leaned into his interests and started a band with friends from church, where he rapped and sang as their frontman. He also began to take skateboarding seriously, even though it wasn't very popular. KJ became engrossed in skate culture, obsessing over its rebellious nature and style. His interest blossomed into a nearly ten-year career as a professional skateboarder, during which he inadvertently invented a never-before-seen trick and attracted the attention of the entire skating community. Like that accidentally career-defining moment, KJ seems destined for greatness, no matter the medium.As the first Black male Summer House castmate, KJ had to learn to navigate the new world of reality television with millions of eyes watching. Ever graceful, he’s taking the lessons and carrying them into another season. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to give yourself grace when you live and date in the public eye, and how he manages the pressure of being “the first.” KJ models the kind of transparency he hopes inspires other men to open up and share more deeply about what they’re feeling. He opened up about his childhood experiences with living with undiagnosed ADHD and having to live with his grandmother. KJ shares that his love for skateboarding has never left him and now serves as a space for self-care. We also cover his return to music and how excited he is to try a new genre and sound. As is his nature, KJ is turning back to the creative outlets that brought him joy as a kid, except now he’s sharing them with the world.Tune in as we discuss:0:00 Welcome KJ4:05 Preparing For The Spotlight5:00 Growing Up In Arizona and Kansas5:25 How His Parents' Divorce Changed Their Lives6:25 His Early ADHD Symptoms7:25 KJ’s Relationship With His Grandmother8:10 Comparing His Life To His Cousins9:35 Why He Chases Success10:00 KJ’s Introduction To Skateboard Culture11:50 The 90s Black Skateboarders Who Inspired Him12:45 Unspoken Skateboard Rules 13:30 His Favorite Skateboard Looks15:50 Iconic Skateboard Brands17:45 Accidentally Inventing A Skateboard Trick20:25 Navigating Reality Television23:15 His Awkward Tyler The Creator Meetup30:00 Pre-Public Appearance Prep30:45 Why KJ Gatekeeps Some Things31:50 His Signature Look33:45 When He Became Interested In Music39:15 Microagressions In The Fashion Industry40:12 Dating In The Public Eye41:25 What He’s Learning About Himself 42:20 Emotional Vulnerability Among Friends43:55 KJ’s Self-Care Routine45:45 When He Feels The Most BeautifulRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.
