WEBVTT - Walter Emanuel Jones Meets World 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:24.439 I couldn't have loved my costumes on Dancing with the 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.280 Stars anymore as you can imagine. I mean, the whole 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.680 process of being involved in you know. 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.960 Do they bring you options like how does it work? 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:34.640 Okay? So here's how it works. 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.720 A week before you are doing a dance, there's the 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:43.320 production meeting. You meet with the production team and they 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.839 show you what they're thinking of. They go, okay, so 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.160 here are the lights. We're going to use these lasers. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.120 We're going to have a smoke. We're going to try 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.160 a smoke thing maybe. And it isn't like we're going 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.560 to try the smoke thing because now that we've heard 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.640 your idea for the dance it works in It's just 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.440 like we have the ability this week to use this 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.440 cool smoke or fog machine, and so we're going to 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.479 try to put it into as many dances as we can. 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.000 And then you know, knowing that, is there a way 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:10.880 for you to incorporate it somehow? 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:11.600 Okay? 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.480 And part of this production meeting is then a wardrobe 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:21.160 page where Daniella and Steven the male and female. You know, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.560 Stephen does all the guy's costumes and so even for 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.880 the pros and Daniella does all of the celeb costumes. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:32.280 They I'm sorry, is this a different Daniella than dancer Daniella. Correct, 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.959 there was multiple Daniella's. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:38.520 Yes, Daniella Cara Gosh, Pasha's wife is a Daniella spelled 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.520 like my name, but with so two l's and an 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.080 a at the end, Daniella Goschwender. The wardrobe is Daniella 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.080 with one L, and then there's me Danielle Williams on 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.040 Board Meets World. Okay, yes, it was rather confusing, especially 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:58.640 for Pasha. I like, but so then they get a 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.840 page and Daniella is a wonderful artist, and so she 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.400 has drawn a sketch of what she wants your dress 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.000 to look like, and then there's usually already a fabric 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.200 swatch attached to it, so she can tell you made 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.880 out of this material. And you know, I literally never once, 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.919 That's not true, I literally all but once. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:20.919 It just was like. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.920 Gorgeous lovel And then one one week I was like, 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.200 can we make the cha cha Halter?

It was like another dancers 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.640 and it just happened to fit me, and then they 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.960 added more fringe to it and mine it was yours exactly, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.720 and so I had just worn it and it was halter, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.400 and I felt really comfortable in it. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:45.480 I felt very confident. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.119 I felt attractive, and I was like, if we're doing 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.799 another hot pink dress for cha, Cha, I'm gonna let's 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:51.400 make it a halter. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.799 And she was like okay, and she was like, I was. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.760 You know, doing these straps, and she kind of explains 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.600 to me why, and I listened to it, and I 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.080 was like, okay, but I think I want a halter. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.320 And then I try the dress on and it's a 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.800 halter and I go to do my chat chaf for 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:13.040 the first time during the dress rehearsal and it weighs, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.640 no joke, thirty pounds. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:16.080 Oh god. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.240 It has so much fringe and so much beating. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.919 And because it's halter and the only thing it has 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.760 to hang on is my neck, it is pulling on 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:25.480 my neck. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.120 The whole thing. Now it feels like a diaper. My 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.960 it's slipping off of me. I'm wiggling it up and 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.760 I have to take it off after dress rehearsal. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.560 I'm like, I cannot physically do the dance of this, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.120 and she goes, I'll change the straps. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:37.720 Sure enough, she. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.880 Does the straps she originally wants in between dress rehearsal, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.000 which goes from two to four, and then the live 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.760 show's five to seven. So I take it off at four, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.360 and somehow before the live show at five, they've already 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.560 changed it from a halter to two thicker straps that 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:53.360 then fit me perfectly. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:54.880 Wait a second, I'm sorry, I just I want to 0:03:55.360 --> 0:04:00.120 talk very quickly about something you said.

It was 0:13:58.440 --> 0:13:59.200 about this big. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.600 Oh god, it was so little and I put it 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.400 on and my mom was like, oh, I mean, you 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.240 look so cute in that, but I don't think that's 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.880 good for eighth grade graduation. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.480 And I said, yeah, I don't really know where i'd 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.240 wear this, and he goes, girl, you wear it to Ralph's. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.840 You wear it to Ralps. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.520 And you walk up and down the aisles and you say, look, 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:16.760 at me. 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:18.240 Oh, that's what you do? 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.320 You wear it to Ralph's And I wow. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.680 I've thought about it forever anytime I. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.120 Have like something only rock and roll. Ralphs on Sunset though, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:29.840 and that's. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:30.680 The one he was talking about. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.600 Can I can I ask a question that's going to 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.840 be weird and off putting. Why would one need a 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.160 nude panty? So? 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.640 Because there's lots of kicks and the dress is very high, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.040 so it's it's basically like a one piece body suit 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.000 under there, so that when we kick that nothing's seen 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:50.400 on TV. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:51.920 Right, So they rhymes done. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.840 It they wanted to. But nude means like a brown color, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.360 doesn't it? Like, wouldn't they match. 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.760 The Technically technically nude is whatever color you're skin is 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.400 so naked it blends into your skin. So like Jordan 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.160 and I would have two different versions of nude, okay. 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.240 But then why wouldn't Why wouldn't it just the crotch, 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.520 which is one of the greatest words ever. Just match 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.480 the color of your. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:18.600 Dress because then it then it looks like so like 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.080 my in that case, my dress was teal. So if 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:22.880 I had a teal thing on under and then I 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.120 kicked you would then like your eye would be to 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:29.280 like my crotch is teal as opposed to flesh colored. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.400 It just you don't really notice anything. 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:35.960 Is that your favorite? 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.160 Instead? I had a rhymestoned crotch. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.880 That rhinos. It was exactly, it was vegasized. That's nice, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.000 that's perfect, It's perfect. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:52.440 How roached. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:00.040 Did I? 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:00.560 That? 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.400 Just do it for every catchphrase. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.840 Oh, welcome to pod Meets World.
