There was a time where nostalgia was a word that brought forth a sour vibe. One that deeply related to someone that was for lack of a better phrase, stuck in the past. As though all they could hold onto and celebrate was yesterday and well, that was and remains a silly view. Because there is nothing wrong with enjoying what made us happy in the past nor is there anything wrong with celebrating pop culture moments that are iconic, and it is a wonderful thing that such judgment is no longer prominent. Since it is allowing for those celebrations of yesterday to pop up often now and put a smile on our faces, and it is so engrained now in our culture… that it even helps to launch new chapters and stories in the pop culture landscape.
 
Take for instance, the recent announcement trailer that WOW Presents Plus brought forth onto the internet. For Symone and Gigi Goode, the winners of Season 13 and Season 12 of RuPaul’s Grace, respectively, along with the crew of The House of Avalon, looked to nostalgia to announce the arrival of AVALON TV (Which premieres October 9, 2023 exclusively on WOW Presents Plus with a new episode airing every Monday). By paying tribute to the Spice Girls and the cult classic Spice World, and that was quite the epic way to let us know that this show is going to be, per WOW Presents Plus, “an off-the-wall, over-the-top, and under-the-wig series that takes you inside the brains of LA’s hottest creative collective, The House Of Avalon. Whether it’s fashion, nightlife, drag, art, comedy, or media – this chosen family is creating one iconic pop culture moment after another, and skyrocketing to success by their own set of rules.”
 
Courtesy of segments that are part sketch-comedy, part follow style documentary. Since we will follow Symone as she attends her first Met Gala, and we will even follow Gigi through her transition. Not to mention there will be a talk show segment that will bring about conversations with celebrity guests, such as Abby Lee Miller (Dance Moms), Taylor Hale (Winner of Big Brother Season 24), Fenton Bailey, Ts Madison, Nicole Byer, Trixie Mattel, Sasha Colby, Rickey Thompson, Shawn Breathwaite (Astrologist), Colton Haynes, Orville Peck, Dominique Jackson, and Isis King. All because this crew is eager to entertain us, wow us, and keep it real through a show that is clearly designed to offer up a unique and refreshing viewing experience.
 
If anything, it is safe to say they have our attention, courtesy of that nostalgia fueled, shot-for-shot teaser, one that we are now going to share with you. To help spread the word about a new series that will undoubtedly be as fun and as engaging as that teaser, courtesy of a group of artists that are ready to shake things up and surprise us, every single time we tune in.
