Speaker 1: many years ago? Was that like seven years? Yeah, I

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: was just talking about this with someone. I think it's

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: six or seven years. Oh my gosh. Yes, So shewn By.

24

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: long and we were we met. I remember meeting you

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: the first job. It wasn't Austin. It was the windiest

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: job we've ever done, which I was super stressful for me.

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm dark Sis groomer and that situation was terrible. Remember

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the hair. I was stressed out the whole time. He

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: kept trying to block the wind. That was his album cover.

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: So that was our first meeting. And I mean, I

32
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: feel like it's been a love story ever since. I

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: fell in love with Kelly immediately, and vice versa, vice versa.

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: But if you want to know more about Annie, you

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: can google her because I did this. Did you know

36
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I did you know you have an IMDb d V page.

37
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: It can't be accurate? Well, I know, I didn't know that.

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I think that it is accurate. And the reason I

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: say that is when you get on the page, it

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: first talks about maybe a couple of films you've worked on.

41
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: It talks about the stuff you've done with Madonna? Really

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: is true? Correct? Okay, yeah? Correct? Then the first headline,

43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: You're Gonna die. There's a headline. The headline like it

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: has movies and like clips, and then it goes down

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: into the headlines and news stories, and the first headline

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: is Chris Pratt has his man boobs blow dry. Oh

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: my god, what you don't remember this? His man boobs?

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: You don't remember this? He posted that. No, I know

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: I was drawing his arm packs. But I'm like, first

50
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: liked Chris Pratt does not have man boob. Absolutely not

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: know he's so hot. Um. But second of all, that's

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: the article that your mind or so who puts together

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: that IMDb page? Not somebody very intelligent. It can't be

54
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: anyone who knows me personally. Definitely not. They have not

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: interviewed you. Thank you for alerting me, first of all,

56
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: because I had no idea that I even had an

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: IMDb page. I didn't either. Well. The cool thing about you,

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: this is one of the coolest things about Annie to me,

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: is she works with all these huge celebrities, she's a

60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: amazing stylist, and she does not even have a social

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: media page. Well, no, no, no no, I'm sorry, you have one. Well,

62
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: I have an Instagram account. I just like not really

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: being present on it at all. But the funny thing

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: is that I have followers. You know, you totally have followers.

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: And actually, if you search the tag Annie Saltires, which

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: I'll put her name in my blog because none of

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: you will ever guess how to spell it. But if

68
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: you search your tag, it's all these pictures of you

69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: like that justin post or like other clients of yours,

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: and they tag you but you haven't posted, which to

71
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: me is brand deering, and it just it speaks a

72
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: lot to your character because you really don't care what

73
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: people think. You just do what you love. That's exactly right, Kelly.

74
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: That's my motto. That's your motto, and that's my life,

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: my life hack. Did you always know you wanted to

76
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: be a stylist? Was that like something you grew up

77
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: wanting to know are wanting to do? Well? I kind

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: of grew up doing it in a way because I

79
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't go to college. I'm not recommending that to any

80
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: young people listening, Okay, but when I graduated high school

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: about a hundred years ago in the nineties, um, I

82
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: graduated high school just to give you some context, And

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: when I graduated high school, I really didn't want to

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: go straight to college. I just I really wanted to

85
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: sort of start my life and I didn't want to

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: do another four years of school. I just wanted to

87
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: kind of get into the workforce and get my own apartment.

88
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: I just kind of wanted to be independent and just

89
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: like I said, art my life. So I said, well,

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I didn't want to totally disappoint my parents. I wasn't

91
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: ready to completely disappoint them. So I said, well, I'll

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: just take a year off, you know. So in that

93
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: year off, I I went to m Santa Monica City College,

94
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: which was just literally to only appease my parents. I

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: took English, jazz appreciation, and ceramics. Yeah that sounds like

96
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: a really nice quite the curriculum. But in the meantime,

97
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: I got a job. I told everyone I knew that

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to start working. And I was always sort

99
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: of artistically inclined. I kind of debated going to art school. Um,

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: but my sister I grew up in Los Angeles. So

101
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: growing up in Los Angeles, you're just surrounded by the

102
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: entertainment industry. Even if you don't try I mean, I

103
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't grow up connected by any means. My parents are

104
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: from Greece. They don't They're not in the business at all.

105
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: But my sister had a friend whose husband was an

106
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: art director and he design sets and did art direction

107
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: for music videos and commercials. And it was the nineties,

108
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: so it was like the golden age of music videos.

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: I did a lot of music videos and kin and

110
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: she said yeah, and um, so this woman said, well,

111
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: my husband's looking for an assistance, so you know, maybe

112
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: you should meet him. And you know, I was really young.

113
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: I was just out of high school, and I started

114
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: working for him and doing scenic painting and making props

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: and um, working on music videos. I'm trying to think

116
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: of some did you ever work on a white snake video?

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: About that's a little before. For some reason, when I

118
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: think of the epic days of music videos, white snake

119
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: is like the first thing that always comes to mind.

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I wish I could say that I worked in a

121
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: white scenic video, but I did not. I was still

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: in high school and okay, sorry, I just age to

123
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: do Yeah, that's okay, Um, so I work. I did

124
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: that for a few years and then I saw what

125
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: the stylists were up to and I thought, oh, I

126
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: think I'd be really good at that. I was always

127
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: sort of the friend that would help you with your

128
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: prom outfit or I can't think about that for a second,

129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: because I think that that is fascinating because I have

130
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: personally never seen you in a dress. Like, let's talk

131
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a little bit about your style, because as a stylist,

132
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: I think people imagine that you would be over the

133
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: top and always dressed like what's the words the ninety nines,

134
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, just like super trendy and pushing all

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: the barriers of fashion. Well, there's a lot of stylist

136
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: like that amazing and they're super cool. So how do

137
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: you describe your style? Then? Oh, my style is you

138
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: can describe it using too items of clothing jeans and

139
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: a T shirt exactly. My style is really really simple. Yeah. Um,

140
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I think it might have to do with the fact

141
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: that I went to Catholic school and I wore a

142
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: uniform every day, which I loved, and when we had

143
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: a free dress day, it was really exciting and you

144
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: got to choose whatever you would wear, you know, So

145
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: I really did like put thought into my outfit. Um,

146
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: but ultimately I really really enjoyed that uniform vibe, and

147
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: I kind of you kind of operate that way that way. Now,

148
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that, but that's a really

149
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: you have your uniform, I mean you you switched a variation.

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: You always have a really good pair of jeans, though,

151
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: I've got a few good pair of jeans, A really

152
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: good fitting T shirt yep, mostly a Vantage T shirt.

153
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: I also dabble in that vantage very much so. And

154
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: you'll do a really good pair of boots. I will

155
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: sometimes today I'm wearing red wings. I like vintage military boots.

156
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: I also live in like really comfortable nikes. This is true, yes,

157
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: because working, you know, m I work really long hours

158
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: and so I have to be I basically have to

159
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: be really comfortable. That's the only thing I really care about.

160
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: So a lot about function. Yes, every single thing I

161
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: wear is very functional. So you were saying that when

162
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: you first got your start, you got you worked for

163
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: this guy in the art department, you saw the stylists,

164
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: and then what was your first styling job, Like, how

165
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: did you transition into that? So I told everyone I

166
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: knew I want to work with stylists. I'll work for free,

167
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: I'll do any job. I just want to assist stylists.

168
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: I was probably twenty years old because I told everyone

169
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I knew, if you hear of anyone who needs an

170
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: assistant or needs any sort of styling help, I will

171
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: do it. And so people introduced me. I had a

172
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: couple of really great mentors. Well. The first, the first

173
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: job I ever did doing clothing was a short film

174
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: that a friend of mine was doing a friend of

175
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: a friend, and he said, I really need someone to

176
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: do the costumes. He was just kind of like a hipster.

177
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: He was doing this short film and he said, you

178
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: someone to do the costumes. Have you done costumes? And

179
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: I said, uh huh, of course I had never, never, never.

180
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: I didn't even know like how to do it or

181
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: where to start or where to get closed. But I

182
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: just kind of figured it out and it was really

183
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: a crash course, which, by the way, every job I

184
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: do even to this day is figure it out. Where

185
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: is it going to come from, what does this client need?

186
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: Where am I going to get it? How do I

187
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: get it? Of course, this was literally before the internet. Yeah,

188
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: what did you do? Put on an encyclopedia girl, I

189
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: pulled out like the yellow pass. No, I'm not kidding, like,

190
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, Like the Internet may have existed, but

191
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: only like NASA used it. You know, it's not like

192
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: you could just google where to get a pair of

193
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: shoes or or you know, like a uniform or or

194
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: some like a nurse costume or you know, you couldn't

195
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: even And I didn't even know what to do at

196
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: your house before you left because you didn't have a

197
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: cell phone. Hell no, I didn't have a cell phone.

198
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: I think I may have had a page. Did you

199
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: have a paper? No? I remember like this this short

200
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: film that I did. It required a nurse's uniform. That's

201
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: why I said nurse. And I was like, where am

202
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: I going to get a nurse's uniform? And I went

203
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: to like a uniform store and I said, could I

204
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: run a nurse's uniform? And they were like, sweetheart, we

205
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: don't rent things. You'd buy things here. And I had

206
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: to go outside and I went to the pay phone.

207
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: There was a giant Yellow Pages hanging from it. And

208
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: I went into the Yellow Pages and looked up uniforms,

209
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: and some kind soul finally said to me, like, I

210
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: think you're what you want is a costume house That

211
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 1: rents for movies. Said, yes, that's what I want, And

212
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: I flipped to a different page and found like, you know,

213
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: costume houses where you can rente costumes from movies. And

214
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean I literally just learned a little bit at

215
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: a time every time. UH learned everything the hard way, basically. Yeah,

216
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I think that's a's so interesting about both of our

217
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: jobs is every job is so different, Every client is

218
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: so different, every situation is different, everyone's needs are different.

219
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Even when we're talking about in Austin, it was like

220
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: the weather conditions for instance. I mean those are not

221
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: things that I don't think I had been in a

222
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: situation before that to anticipate something like that. Sure, you,

223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: but you once you experience it, you learn and you

224
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: do different the next time or whatever. So that's so

225
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: interesting to me. I didn't even know this about you

226
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: that you didn't go to You didn't go to school,

227
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: You just started working, right. So I took a year

228
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: off quote unque, and I remember my my measily little

229
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: class load suffered so badly. Actually, appreciation class was awesome,

230
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: but I didn't even do that well because I remember

231
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: I had to miss the final because I had to work,

232
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: like I was already working, and I was so into

233
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: my job and just loved it so much. And in

234
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: our business you have to take especially at that time

235
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: I was so young. I took every single job that

236
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: came my way, and sometimes they come with the last second,

237
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: so you have to drop everything and just do anything.

238
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: And so I missed so much school because I was

239
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: were not up to part of it. Oh my god.

240
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Actually I made the most amazing shoe out of clay.

241
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: It was Adida Shelter again the nineties. It was in

242
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: Adida Shelter. I'm gonna take a picture of it, Incid.

243
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: It's super friend. I was really I was good at it.

244
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: But I remember like I got an A on that,

245
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: but then I got like an F on the next

246
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: project because I wasn't there. I just messed it all together,

247
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: you know. So so you know, it became pretty clear

248
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: to me that my calling was not school. My calling

249
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: was just to get out there in the workforce and

250
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: start my life, which I did and I'm really glad

251
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: I did. So. This is something else I think you

252
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: brought up as really interesting is that you worked for

253
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: free for a while. Like people always asked me, how

254
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: did you get your start? And It's hard for me

255
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: to remember sometimes because I remember at the beginning, I

256
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: got an assistant position, probably like similar to what you got,

257
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: and you just start busting your ass Like I was

258
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: making no money. I was answering phones at a wrestling

259
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: company to pay money. I love that story. And then

260
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: I would get these jobs and you, just like you said,

261
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: figure out as you guy. So how long did you

262
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of work for free before you got where did

263
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: you get your first like a real gig that you

264
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, maybe this is going to happen. Do

265
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: you remember? Well? I spent the first year I was

266
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: still living in my parents house, and maybe one out

267
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: of every well maybe two out of every ten jobs

268
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: I took, I would get paid a few hundred dollars

269
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: right Like. It wasn't like you were making bank making bank.

270
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: But I didn't need a lot. I was really young,

271
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: so I saved money and my goal was to get

272
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: an apartment, and I actually ended up moving into an

273
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: apartment with my boss at the time, Tim, the guy

274
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: who gave me the job was the art director and

275
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: his girlfriend and I lived in a room. My rent

276
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: was two hundred fifty dollars a month. Wow in l

277
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: a that's like crazy again. A long time ago, now,

278
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: that would be like two right right, my little shoe

279
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: box would have been like um, and I didn't need

280
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: a lot, you know. I was just happy to just

281
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: have my my little room. And you know I ate

282
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Cereal and top Ramen and God Ramen. I mean I

283
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: still do that once in a while. Maybe it was

284
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: a year the good old days, but um, you know,

285
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: I just hustled and scraped by. You know, I was

286
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm proud to say that I never really had to

287
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: ask anyone for help, and I just did what I

288
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: had to do. You know, I just took like even

289
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: low paying jobs, you get five low paying jobs, it

290
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: amounts to a little something. And you know, I didn't

291
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: spend any money on clothes. Every single thing I bought

292
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: was from a thrift store, which was cooler anyway. I

293
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: was gonna say, that's your style anyway, that's my style anyways.

294
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: Like like you said, I live in vintage T shirts

295
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: and I have three pair of jeans that I rotate,

296
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: and that's the way I like it anyway. Um So

297
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: I just made it work. When when, when? Where? What

298
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: was I guess would be the question, what was your

299
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: first gig that you've really felt like, Okay, I'm a stylist.

300
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm starting to move in that direction of making this

301
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: a career. Well okay, so I started assisting people. I

302
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: had some really great mentors. Some of them taught me

303
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot about how to do my job. Some taught

304
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: me a lot to not do my job. Um. But

305
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I had one um mentor named Arian Phillips is a

306
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: huge stylist and costume designer like Oscar nominated costume designer

307
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: and a stylist. Did you meet her? Just through? You know?

308
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: It's like this job is like you meet one person.

309
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: They introduce you to one person, and then that person says, oh,

310
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: you need to meet this person. Then you meet this

311
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: person and they say meet that person. So. Um. I

312
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: worked with a producer on a music video, a Casey

313
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: and Joe Joe music video. My god, I used to

314
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: love Yes Girl and he was the producer. I'm sorry,

315
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: you just gave me such a flashback. I used to

316
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Explorer where I had a Zach Morris like. I thought

317
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: I was so cool and would jam out to Casey

318
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: and Jojo. They were good. So I can't believe you

319
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: worked on a video I worked on a few of

320
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: the videos, I cannot remember a single name, and if

321
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: he gave me a multiple choice, I could figure it out.

322
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: But anyway, the producer on one of their videos was

323
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: um nice guy named Jim and he I just got

324
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: to talking to him one day and I said, you know,

325
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: I really want to one day assist Arianne Phillips. And

326
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: he said, oh my god, she's my roommate because because

327
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: there was like a short list of stylists and I

328
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: really admired and she was on the list. And so

329
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: we got to talking. I told him, you know, she

330
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: was on my list, and he said, oh my god,

331
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: I'll introduce you to her. So he did, and we

332
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: hit it off, and she hired me and I worked

333
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: as her assistant for a long time and that was

334
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: like my master's program really, you know, working with her.

335
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: She works with a lot of big people. We worked

336
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: with Madonna, Madonna and uh Justin. Timberlake hired her to

337
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: style him when he broke out from mincenc and was

338
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: doing this thing. Okay, so this is like his first

339
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: first album cover. Yeah, So he hired ari and I

340
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: was assisting her, and you know, she was super duper busy.

341
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: She has the list of her A list clients is like,

342
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, it's just too long to even name. So

343
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: I ended up taking on a lot of the responsibility

344
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: with Justin and traveling with him when he was doing

345
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: album promotion, and you know, I would be on set

346
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: with him if she had to go somewhere else, and um,

347
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, eventually she kind of got a little too

348
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: busy to be his too. I mean, he had so

349
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: much going on. He was like, he hit it so hard,

350
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: he had so much going on, he needed so much styling.

351
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: And eventually, I mean, the level of generosity of this woman,

352
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: she basically said, if you need to, if you want

353
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: to style him, go ahead, I mean, really magnanimous of her.

354
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: Most people would not do that, especially someone who's exploding.

355
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Is that's as as a freelance person like we are,

356
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: when you see someone's career taking off, you want to

357
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: stick with him because that means consistent work for you,

358
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's just going to keep coming. You gotta

359
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: roll with it. Yeah, I mean, so that was amazing,

360
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: And so didn't you at that point when she kind

361
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: of handed him over You went on the road with

362
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: him and went on the road with him. Yeah, I

363
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: went on tour with him on his first tour, and

364
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: we were traveling doing all kinds of you know, album

365
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: press and going to all these different countries and and

366
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: it was such a great time. And it just kind

367
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: of happened really naturally that I made the transition to

368
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: styling him, and I've been working with him like on

369
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: and off ever since. I mean that wash how about

370
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: two thousand one two two? Still my favorite Justine album?

371
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: Such a great album, so good. Okay, So earlier today

372
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: I posted on Instagram and asked some of my followers, like,

373
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 1: what do they want to know from you? So I'm

374
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna ask you some of those questions. Okay, okay, So okay,

375
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: this one I love because I think this is probably

376
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have a funny story. But what's the

377
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: most awkward situation you've been in wild styling a celebrity? Well, okay,

378
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: I remember one time, a long, long time ago when

379
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I was assisting Arian Phillips and we were on a

380
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: promo tour with Madonna, who I adore. By the way,

381
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: I need to pause before you answer the question. I

382
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: need to know a little more about Madonna. Is this

383
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: like an amazing She's awesome she's like an icon. She's

384
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: so awesome. Is she as brilliant creatively as I think

385
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: she is? Probably more? Really, she's just the badst that

386
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: works all the time. Beyond badass, I mean badasses, not

387
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: even suffice. Wow, she's a boss for sure. Yeah, super smart, creative,

388
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: just one of the smartest people would ever meet. Yeah,

389
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: she's just the best. Yeah, okay, continue. So you're with Arian.

390
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: I had just started working with them, with Arian and Madonna,

391
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: and we were on this promo tour. I was very young. Yeah,

392
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: I literally had just started. I was like very green

393
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: to say. I had a little experience, but not a

394
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: ton of experience. And I was in a situation where

395
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: Madonna wanted to try something on and Aria wasn't around,

396
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: so I had to settle the clothes out myself. And

397
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: I was terrified because I wanted to do a good job,

398
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, I set everything up and

399
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: I was trying to like think one step ahead of everything,

400
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: and I wanted to do like a really amazing job.

401
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: And she walks in the room. She says, um, Okay,

402
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: where's the mirror? And it was like, you know, when

403
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: you're experience something shocked, you're experiencing something shocking and like

404
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: a wave, like a rush of fear. Just it starts

405
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: at your forehead and goes all the way down to

406
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: your toes. I'm nodding my head because yes. And you're like,

407
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: uh yeah, oh my god, her insides and your outside

408
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: have to look completely different. And that's right. You're like,

409
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: stay calm, and stay calm, stay calm. Yeah. Anyway, I

410
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: forgot the mirror and I remember saying to her like,

411
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry there's not a mirror in her yet.

412
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: That was an oversight on my part. And she said

413
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: something like yeah, I'll say oh. And I was like,

414
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean she was right, you know, and and and

415
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, I remained calm and I figured it out,

416
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: and you know, she was really cool about it. But

417
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: it was like a really tense moment there for a second.

418
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: How could she how did she even try and close

419
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: if she couldn't see them? Well, she couldn't. I feel

420
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: like she had to go back out and do her

421
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: sound check and then come back later. And you know,

422
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: I did not I'm wasting this woman's time. It's freaking Madonna,

423
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, thank god, she was great

424
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: about it, but oh my God. Yeah, the Madonna is

425
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: not the person that I wanna be on my own

426
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: with for my first job. Like that is like, I mean,

427
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: I was just very green, and you know, I was

428
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: just trying. So she could see that I was trying

429
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: really hard, and so of course that that was very

430
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: kind of her to be kill about it. Well, all

431
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: these years later, we still work together sometimes, so something right, Yes, Okay,

432
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: what's your love this one? What's your biggest pet? People

433
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: in the red carpet? Oh? So many? You and I

434
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: talk all day about this. All we talk about every

435
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: Red carpet is like our gossip sets. Oh my god.

436
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: All we do is sit there and judge everyone. I know,

437
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: it's really rude of us. But here's the thing. You know,

438
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: everyone's working hard, and everyone's doing their and everyone's wearing

439
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: what they is what makes them happy, which is great, right,

440
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: That's true. As long as you feel good, that's really

441
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: what red carpet and stuff should be about. The only

442
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: thing that really upsets me is when things don't fit properly.

443
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: Like even if something's like a crazy outfit that I

444
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: would never she for my clients, or you know, if

445
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: it's something really wacky're out there If someone's owning it,

446
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: that's awesome totally. If it doesn't fit right, that's not okay. Okay,

447
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: So the tailoring, that's a big thing. It's all about Taylor. Yeah,

448
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: so okay, this one is This one's really good. How

449
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: do you stay stylish on a budget? I think that's

450
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: really easy. Actually, I think it's easier then. I actually

451
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: think it's easier to be stylish with very little budget

452
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: than with like all the money in the world. In

453
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: a way, I guess you did mention thrift store stores

454
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: earlier when you were talking about when you were broke starting. Okay,

455
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: so what else? Um, first of all, you could go

456
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: to top Man and get the coolest outfit ever for yourself.

457
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I love top Man. I love top Man. When there's

458
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: top Shop for girls, of course, top Shop for girls. Yeah,

459
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: I mean this is more our conversation is more skewed

460
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: towards men because that's what I do. But um, top

461
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: shops great too, top shops awesome for girls. I think

462
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, you're like, I don't wear it,

463
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: but no, it's great, it's great, it's good. But if

464
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: you want to be stylish, I mean, first of all,

465
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: style is mostly about fit and proportion more than anything else.

466
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: If you're a guy and you want to look cool,

467
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: get like the get a great T shirt that fits

468
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: you properly, and a couple of great pair of jeans

469
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: and Chuck tailors, and you have a good outfit. I mean,

470
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: you can keep your style really really simpue. Just keep

471
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: it simple. There really is no other staple to me

472
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: that's more important than a really good pair of jeans

473
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: because how many times do you wear this over and

474
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: over and over and it works in so many different ways. Yep.

475
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 1: If you have a good pair of jeans, you can

476
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: wear with a T shirt, you can wear with a

477
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: nice blazer and yeah, you know. I just think if

478
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: you want to have a good stylish closet, you really

479
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: only need like five things. You don't need to be

480
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: super on trend or wearing exactly what's in right now.

481
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: You can have a few of those things, and I

482
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 1: think those things are good. But who can keep up

483
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: with that? Who wants to keep up with that? Especially

484
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: if you're a guy. So it's more about keeping it

485
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: simple and just finding a really good stuff. Yes, shirts, basics,

486
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: make sure that that stuff fits you properly, right if

487
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: it fits you properly, people are gonna think you look

488
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: good and they won't even realize why. Yeah, it's just

489
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: if you wear an outfit that fits you properly, it's

490
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: going to be pleasing to the eye in general. Yeah,

491
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: I never thought about that. And so don't be afraid

492
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: to wear clothes that fit you. Okay, okay, that's a

493
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: really good Guys get afraid sometimes to wear clothes that

494
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: fit them, especially tight jeans. I watch you battle with

495
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of but whenever they get on, I'm like,

496
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, you look so hot. They literally do.

497
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing is you always convinced Darks, for instance,

498
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: to put on a tighter a little bit of a

499
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: tight and he has a great figure, like he works

500
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: out all the time, so he should be wearing tight jeans.

501
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: I know all the women appreciate you. You're welcome, ladies

502
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: have It just takes people a minute to adjust to

503
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: something new, especially guys. You know, they get really comfortable

504
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: wearing a certain thing. Yeah, you know, it's it's nerve racking.

505
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: Were something different, and then people notice, and sometimes even

506
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: if they're complimentary, it's still embarrassing. Oh my god, Oh

507
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: my god. Yeah, Okay, this one's hilarious. It just goes

508
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: to show how much well one that I talked about

509
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: this on my inste stories and too that my followers

510
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: just know me, and this is what they asked. You're

511
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: going to appreciate this. Have you ever styled Taylor Kitch?

512
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: And you think that he and I would be a

513
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: match made in heaven? And then they said, and then

514
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: if so, tell her to say, if I could, I would,

515
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: I swear. Well, the thing that's so funny about all this,

516
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think people understand I've told this story

517
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: a little bit. But do you remember we just did

518
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: these movie promos Stirks. So when we were with Dirks

519
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: when was this less than six months ago? For the

520
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: movie Only the Brave? He wrote the song for it,

521
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: Taylor Kitches in this movie. Yes, so we were on

522
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: every red carpet with him. You knew his groom? Yes,

523
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: I've never to answered your question. I've never styled him. Now.

524
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: I actually don't know whose stylist is. They do a

525
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: great job. Yeah he was. It's awesome. And um, I

526
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: am friends with his groom or Christine Nelly, and she

527
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: adores him and she says he's the nicest guy ever,

528
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: and what I wouldn't give to hook him up with you, Kelly.

529
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: The thing is is, I actually don't know if I

530
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: ever want to meet him. We've talked about this. It's

531
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: kind of that thing where you're like, I'd like to

532
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: have a crush and I need my celebrity crush, and

533
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: actually being in the close vicinity with him, I was like, oh,

534
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: I gotta go, but like, actually meet him, it's a

535
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: very unnatural way to meet someone. Oh right, I mean

536
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: in my work, like, you know, ready to work and

537
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: he's on the right carpet. It was just not the

538
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: right It's awkward. I mean, think about Taylor. He's when

539
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: he walks into a room, everyone knows who he is.

540
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to talk to him. Yeah, and up walks Kelly.

541
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't know who she is, but she knows who

542
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: he is. It's awkward. It's very awkward. Actually don't know

543
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: anything about who he is. I know everything about who

544
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: Tim Reggan this, which is the character that I'm in

545
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: love with. So that just goes to show you why

546
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I really actually want to meet Taylor. Right,

547
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: Can you just see Tim Riggins? That's not fair to Taylor. No,

548
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to have amazing, but he's not going

549
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: to be Tim Riggins. He's never going to be Tim

550
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Riggan Skill. Okay, So just to close out, I have

551
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: this segment I like, I'm kind of wanting to start

552
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 1: with this podcast where basically listening to your story in

553
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: your life. I mean, it's so exciting, it's so glamorous.

554
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: You work with Justin, Timberlake, Madonna, all these celebrities, um,

555
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: But you and I talk about this all the time

556
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: because as glamorous as everything seems are, as much as

557
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: social media, which you're not on but most people are,

558
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: can make life seem there's just so much more, and

559
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: there's so much more going on. And something that I

560
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: have experienced with you because we've known each other so long,

561
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: was your battle with cancer last year and that was

562
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: a huge shock and wake up for all of us,

563
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: and so I just kind of wanted to get real

564
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: for a moment and talk just a little bit about

565
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: reality and life and how in the midst of all

566
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: this glamorous, amazing stuff, how you balance at all, and

567
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: how you kind of bring it back around full circle

568
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: to really focus on growing and becoming a better person

569
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: because I know that's what's really important to you. Tube,

570
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: So okay, talk is through the whole thing that happened.

571
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: I remember when you emailed me about this and you

572
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: were like, hey, I've got breast cancer. Yeah, so what happened? Like,

573
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: how did you even find out what? We'll just give

574
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: you the reader's digestions, so sum it up for us.

575
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: I found a lump myself, so I would encourage every

576
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 1: woman out there to get to know your body and

577
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: do your own breast exams. That's how I found it. Um.

578
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: I was on the birth control pill for a long

579
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: time and I decided to go off of it. I

580
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: was forty years old, and my doctor said, you know,

581
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: you've been it alone time. Maybe you should give your

582
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: body a break. I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so.

583
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: And he said and and by the way, you should

584
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: start getting mamograms your forty I said, okay, yeah whatever,

585
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: got the prescription for the mamogram, threw it on my

586
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: desk and think twice about it, and went off the pill.

587
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: Two and a half weeks later, I find a lump.

588
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: It was like one day I had no lump, the

589
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: next day I had a lump. And you know, I'm

590
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: convinced it had something to do with my pill. I

591
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: think my hormones just went crazy. I'm sure it had

592
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: been there a long time. And maybe, you know, when

593
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: my hormone started changing after I went off the pill,

594
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: maybe it made it worse. I don't know, um, but

595
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: I know that my pill had something to do with it.

596
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: So I would encourage everyone to not mess with your hormones, ladies.

597
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, that was a huge shock. Went to the doctor,

598
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: had biopsies. It's cancer huge. I mean to say it's

599
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: a shock, obviously is an understatement. You know. I was

600
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: not expecting that. I'm really young, you know, oh my gosh,

601
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: considered very young to have breast cancer. And up until

602
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: that time, I wasn't really balancing my life very well.

603
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: I was working super super hard. When I was diagnosed,

604
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: I had to stop and really think about my life.

605
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: Had to really change everything, you know, and also what

606
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: I do for a living and what you do for

607
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: a living too. It's really you have to give a

608
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: lot of your stunic. You know, you really are taking

609
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: care of people all the time. You know, I'm very

610
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: much caretaker. I think you are too. In my personal

611
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: life and my work life. You know, make sure everything's

612
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: perfect for everybody. You know, nobody has to ask for anything.

613
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Your step ahead of everyone all the time, and then

614
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: it takes a toll on you. You You don't even realize it.

615
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: And so I finally had to stop and say, Okay,

616
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: it's time to take care of myself. That was something

617
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: I had to learn how to do. Yeah, I really

618
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: didn't know how to do it at forty years old.

619
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: At forty years old, I really never learned how to

620
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: take care of myself. And in a way not to

621
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: sound cheesier cliche, but it was really blessing, you know,

622
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: because my life is so much better now. Yeah, and

623
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: it forced me to take a break from work, like

624
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I obviously didn't work for a couple of months. I

625
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: mean I had. It all happened super fast. You go,

626
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: like biopsy, Mamma Graham m rr okay your surgeries in

627
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: two weeks. You know. I had two surgeries. I had

628
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: a partial lumpectomy, no, a partial mass actomy slash lumpectomy.

629
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: So they removed the lump, but they had to remove

630
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: like half of one of my breasts and maybe not half,

631
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: maybe a third, but still, yeah, I had to have

632
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: two surgeries to do it deal. Um, so obviously I

633
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: couldn't work. It was really tough recovery. But um, lucky

634
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: for me, everyone in my life totally rallied and took

635
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: care of me, and it was really great. And I

636
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: just said to myself, I am not going to stress

637
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: anymore about work. I'm just not going to. If I

638
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: find myself stressing, I'm just gonna stop. Andy. Thank you
