In this episode, we meet with the 2025–2026 Executive Committee President of the Arizona Costume Institute (ACI), Donna Johnson, and dive into how this fashion-forward nonprofit has grown, evolved its mission, and built a vibrant community around fashion preservation and design. From discussing how ACI became part of the Phoenix Art Museum ecosystem to exploring what drives its members, what makes it unique in the Arizona arts scene, and how the organization continues to elevate fashion education, this conversation covers it all. Don’t miss out- join ACI at their annual Holiday Luncheon on Monday, December 8, 2025, at the Arizona Biltmore to support fashion exhibitions, acquisitions, and education programs, and secure your seat today.

How fitting is our luck that today's episode is numbered with all twos, we have two special guests returning to us. After some time apart and away from social media they have come back together better than ever. In life, there are moments where you have to separate yourself to find yourself. We get to hear the story of how these two twins made it through a hard time and have come together again to bring to light strength in femininity. Their style is always unique and they always have a fun time with us, so sit back and relax and enjoy this episode.
