Speaker 1: So I've been thinking about all the housewives and how
Speaker 1: many of them had an identity connected to their marriage.
Speaker 1: How Sonya was married to a Morgan hall Awayne was
Speaker 1: married to account how um Dorinda was married to somebody
Speaker 1: who had political ties and he passed away. And uh,
Speaker 1: Camille Grammar was married to Kelsey Grammar. And women's identities
Speaker 1: being tied to men, and then had they break through
Speaker 1: and break free afterwards or don't or hang onto it
Speaker 1: and think about it and are just constantly in the
Speaker 1: shadow of their former life, and they they're chasing the
Speaker 1: dragon and wishing they still had that life. And I
Speaker 1: was thinking about Avanna who died, and it's just just
Speaker 1: falling down those tragic stairs, hitting her head, blunt force trauma.
Speaker 1: Those scares were the stairs were scary. I'm sure maybe
Speaker 1: she was medicating. She was home for two years. It
Speaker 1: just you know. And I watched this documentary on her
Speaker 1: and Trump. I didn't realize that because of her connections
Speaker 1: as a model and being international and being in New York,
Speaker 1: that she kind of brought him into those circles. Happens
Speaker 1: a lot. I know other people where one member of
Speaker 1: the couple has the money and the other one has
Speaker 1: sort of the the panash, either the street cred or
Speaker 1: the social status, and the combination can be very strong.
Speaker 1: And it seems like he signed up for a wife
Speaker 1: and she really elevated and helped him, and he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be on the appartisan wouldn't have been the president without him.
Speaker 1: But then she also became like a business partner, so
Speaker 1: they probably were only talking about business. And we saw
Speaker 1: that Gucci story where the wife like started being a
Speaker 1: powerful figure and getting strong and and and not that
Speaker 1: the male figure doesn't always want that. If you watch
Speaker 1: The Crown. Uh and by the way, tough shit. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying, I'm just talking about it. If you watch
Speaker 1: The Crown, how it seems to have bothered Charles that
Speaker 1: Diana was the sparkly favorite, right, so now Ivanna is
Speaker 1: this darling? And now their partners, and they were on
Speaker 1: I think it was Oprah And someone asked Trump, I
Speaker 1: think it was Oprah, I really do. Who said, well,
Speaker 1: does Ivanna get paid? And he said she could buy
Speaker 1: as many dresses as she wants, and apparently gutted her
Speaker 1: because she felt like an equal and she was smart
Speaker 1: and she was shrewd. So they get divorced. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that it's all his fault because they probably
Speaker 1: and she had a shitty prenup. Uh, they get divorced,
Speaker 1: and you know, he signed up to have her be
Speaker 1: a plus one. She was a model and beautiful, and
Speaker 1: he liked all the panels she gave him. But he
Speaker 1: wanted her to stay in her place, and she wanted
Speaker 1: to be an equal business partner, and he didn't want
Speaker 1: a business partner. He wanted a wife. And they both
Speaker 1: sort of agree on the whole entire thing. She says,
Speaker 1: don't get magget everything. She didn't get everything. She got
Speaker 1: like ten million dollars and she had a shitty prenup,
Speaker 1: and it seems like she's always been a bit scorned
Speaker 1: by it, like that ruined her. I know women that
Speaker 1: that that divorce really fucking gut punches them. You know,
Speaker 1: Sonya has been public on the show like that divorce
Speaker 1: really really fucking gut punched her. And I just think
Speaker 1: it's interesting women whose identities are attached to their husbands
Speaker 1: and then their marriages and their status, and then they
Speaker 1: get divorced and the afterlife and some people really move forward,
Speaker 1: break through and shine, and some people get stuck and
Speaker 1: pulled back, and it's very sad. We hear a lot
Speaker 1: about Megan and Harry in the media. I want to know.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Paul. I was saying to Paul,
Speaker 1: did Megan and Harry, like, if we're playing a game,
Speaker 1: like if we're playing tennis, did they are they up
Speaker 1: right now? They're in the casino? They up right now?
Speaker 1: Meaning like, let's say they just stayed in the Royal
Speaker 1: Family and we're miserable and we get that they wanted
Speaker 1: to get out and all of that. Let's just say
Speaker 1: that Megan and Harry stayed in the Royal Family and
Speaker 1: we felt about them the way we feel about Kate
Speaker 1: and Will and they're they're okay, So let's take that score.
Speaker 1: Then they leave UK, you know, and and and the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail and the New York Post and and a
Speaker 1: lot of the media can't stand them. No matter what happens.
Speaker 1: She goes to visit victims, they all think it's a
Speaker 1: photo up anything she does, whereas the privacy they do
Speaker 1: a big, massive, multi kajillion dollar deal at Netflix, and
Speaker 1: she's telling Bob Iger who wants to be in a movie,
Speaker 1: and and Harry's pitching her for you know, the voice
Speaker 1: of some Disney character and anything they do, it seems
Speaker 1: you know, they go to the they go to the
Speaker 1: Queen's jubilee, but they sit they sit several rose back.
Speaker 1: That's wrong, that's right. That you know, it's up and
Speaker 1: down with everyone. You know, Harper's bizarre and the liberal
Speaker 1: media will say, you know, it's wonderful. Then the Post
Speaker 1: and and and the Daily Mail and Page six and
Speaker 1: the UK publications you she's the devil incarnate. So and
Speaker 1: of course this is new, like this isn't like Willis
Speaker 1: Simpson and the Duke of Windsor where you found out
Speaker 1: you know where it took a long time and that
Speaker 1: was many years ago. Have these two one or not?
Speaker 1: They're on the outs with them, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham.
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem great. When she was having her bridal
Speaker 1: shower and giving everybody away suitcases and got in trouble
Speaker 1: for being at the Carlisle having you know, giving people
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollar gifts, then she got in trouble.
Speaker 1: And when she was like had a no more Zara party,
Speaker 1: she got in trouble. So she was always a little
Speaker 1: in trouble. And my question is net net what's the score?
Speaker 1: Remember when she was hanging out with a moll and George.
Speaker 1: They don't seem to be part of this. David Beckham
Speaker 1: and Victoria don't seem to be part of this. So
Speaker 1: what's the net net score? I just want to know,
Speaker 1: like was it? Because they they're in big business now
Speaker 1: and they're doing a lot. They don't have the security anymore. Uh.
Speaker 1: They did the Oprah interview that didn't seem to be
Speaker 1: that great of an idea in the aggregate in my opinion,
Speaker 1: for family matters. So all in did they Are they
Speaker 1: up in the casino or they down? Like are they
Speaker 1: trying to win back chips? Or they're up? And it's
Speaker 1: just gravy. I just want you to tell me if
Speaker 1: Megan and Harry Marry are up or down, doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: it's it's literally pertinent to nothing. I just want to
Speaker 1: know because I was talking about it, and I come
Speaker 1: to you when I want to talk about it. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I went to my fiance's birthday party that his
Speaker 1: parents threw him in Nantucket and there were women that
Speaker 1: were in their fifties and they were very I rate
Speaker 1: about the Kardashians just as a concept in general, like
Speaker 1: just as it going on and on and never are ending.
Speaker 1: And they were irate at and a win tour for
Speaker 1: like playing in this social media space, you know, like
Speaker 1: they felt that it was sort of a sellout for
Speaker 1: everything that she had stood for and represented. And they
Speaker 1: they thought that people like Ellen Degenerous, who are BFFs
Speaker 1: with the Kardashians and Christi Jennera that like, these are
Speaker 1: people that can't can't fight the funk. They weren't initially
Speaker 1: close with this group, but you can't ignore the numbers,
Speaker 1: that the numbers don't lie, and that basically everybody can
Speaker 1: be bought. There saying that every you know, bartenders to
Speaker 1: get a good job, they look at their social media followings.
Speaker 1: Like if you're not performing from a social media standpoint,
Speaker 1: then you have a much it's so sad, you have
Speaker 1: a much um fewer, a much lesser possibility of getting
Speaker 1: a job, job, or being in a magazine or probably
Speaker 1: even being on a television show. Think about it. You
Speaker 1: want to work, you want to get a play on Broadway,
Speaker 1: They're going to take the person who has a higher
Speaker 1: social media following. You want to do a TV show,
Speaker 1: same story, you want to work at a bar, you
Speaker 1: want to work at a restaurant, you want to work
Speaker 1: at a magazine, you want to work at an insurance company.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the place take the person with the greater
Speaker 1: social media numbers? And is that right or is that wrong?
Speaker 1: You know, people were pissed that Addison Ray and like
Speaker 1: the Demilias were at the met Ball because isn't it
Speaker 1: supposed to be super exclusive? And while I'm at at
Speaker 1: people are getting pissed that all over TikTok. So many
Speaker 1: people have access to these luxury brands that used to
Speaker 1: have these very bespoke, private special handbags and only certain
Speaker 1: people could get and now um everyone has access to
Speaker 1: them there more and and I saw an article today
Speaker 1: with a girl saying, that's not what the luxury brands want.
Speaker 1: They don't want all of these TikTok influencers talking about
Speaker 1: how you get a bag, how the system works, like
Speaker 1: Arams has a system that you know won't share because
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, but that they have a
Speaker 1: special system as to how you get coveted items and
Speaker 1: they are an elevated brand and they don't want TikTok
Speaker 1: talking about that all the time. In addition, I bet
Speaker 1: these brands are not thrilled about all over social media
Speaker 1: people buying fakes bags, talking about them, saying where they
Speaker 1: get them, and you can actually buy them through social media.
Speaker 1: I'm floored. It's crazy, like Canal Street is on social media.
Speaker 1: So what does that do for value of items? Does
Speaker 1: that increase the value of your luxury items because more
Speaker 1: people are talking about them, want them know about them,
Speaker 1: or being educated on them, or does it decrease the
Speaker 1: value because they're not as bespoke and unique. And I
Speaker 1: remember years ago when Chanelle all the girls on the
Speaker 1: Hills were wearing Chanel bags and I was thinking, is
Speaker 1: that good because so many people are watching and then
Speaker 1: they're going to go in and buy the little makeup
Speaker 1: bags and the non difficult bags to get, or is
Speaker 1: that bad because it makes it more accessible. I literally
Speaker 1: don't know. I think there'd be there could be a
Speaker 1: business class on that. I think it's fascinating and I think, um,
Speaker 1: I think these brands are doing a decent job navigating that.
Speaker 1: To be honest, I am I am an air Mes fan.
Speaker 1: I think it is high quality. I think it is
Speaker 1: very expensive, but it's one of the expensive brands where
Speaker 1: the quality of the item it will outlive you. Chanelle
Speaker 1: has high quality leather, and there are items that you
Speaker 1: could have there there will also outlive you. And also
Speaker 1: people go by the fake ease and then you buy
Speaker 1: a fakey and what are you gonna do with that?
Speaker 1: You want to get rid of it, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna You're not gonna resell it, what are you're gonna do?
Speaker 1: Give it to give it to somebody? Like then you're
Speaker 1: giving away fake And they call it dupes now, And
Speaker 1: I hate that word so much. I hate the word
Speaker 1: dupe because it means knockoff. It means sort of fake,
Speaker 1: and it means that the originator isn't getting like the
Speaker 1: person in the company that's copying the original. It could
Speaker 1: be in makeup, it could be in bags. It's all
Speaker 1: over Amazon. The company copying the original is getting all
Speaker 1: the credit for making a dupe of something that was
Speaker 1: an original. And listen, I was a victim of Cheetah brands,
Speaker 1: of the Skinny Girl, Margharita. It was copied. It's unnecessary evil.
Speaker 1: But I don't talk about quote unquote dupes on the
Speaker 1: beauty space, on my beauty Reviews, on TikTok because I
Speaker 1: think it's disrespecting the originator. I don't love every single
Speaker 1: makeup that Charlotte Tilbury has done, but I respect that
Speaker 1: she's been the first and that she's an inventor and
Speaker 1: she's the originator. So I'm not running around promoting copycats
Speaker 1: of hers. Doesn't mean that other people can't do a
Speaker 1: similar color of something. I mean that does happen to
Speaker 1: inspired by, but it just means a complete knockoff. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It never it's right with me, It never
Speaker 1: sits right. But but but but it's it's a fraud
Speaker 1: because I'm sitting on a couch right now. That is
Speaker 1: you know, it's the it's the Anna wind Tours speech
Speaker 1: in Devilware's product. To be honest, I'm sitting on a
Speaker 1: couch right now where Miranda Priestley Miranda Priestle's speech by
Speaker 1: by Meryl Street. I'm sitting at a couch. It's like
Speaker 1: a linen. It's somewhat looks like a slipcover. It's probably
Speaker 1: inspired by a restoration hardware. I don't think it's a dupe,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure that the reason this couch was designed
Speaker 1: was because of restoration hardware, so we're all part of it.
Speaker 1: I guess it's just calling things a complete exact knock off.
Speaker 1: Maybe that loves me the wrong way, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: What do you think
