Episode description
Pre-Dead Girl, you better WORK! This week, Max and Dorian discuss the weird practice of dressing a corpse - ranging from the baptism clothes of the early Christian church, to the stuffy suits we all know, to the more casual and innovative practices today. They also get outside of their comfort zone with topics like Marilyn Monroe's funeral dress… then get right back in it with how clothes affect decaying and bloating bodies. Gross!
