elle

Union and I'm here with luk to play it's a mood this dress was so it goes this will go down and like one of my all time favorite looks period it's this one uh , it's like a neon lime green Valentino ball gown, if you will, this was my homage to Bridgerton. I'm obsessed with the show. I love big ball gowns and yes, big pom pom ball gowns. of thing under the skirt, I'm obsessed, I snatched the little waist, um, yeah, and the hair was iconic, it was this big lightbulb, um, that they know Larry Larry Sims, my business partner, Fred Flawless, but you, that he created and is. looks like art oh my god so this was Halloween if I'm not mistaken I remember this hat because I think I kept it I have a blonde wig I feel like I was probably trying to channel Tara Reid uh at the time a lot of very low, very cheap black skirt , my underwear is exposed because that was a look, but I do it and clearly this is like a parody of an era, uh, my bra is showing too, I can't even see what my mountain is, it's a Mountain Dew short tank um yeah this is um that was uh Versace uh Met Ball this last year I love this dress this was uh inspired by I think it was a Diane Carroll dress if I'm not mistaken my brain has short circuited I love this dress yeah it's like a silver, studded Versace dress that has this beautiful red flower that we added and this Breakaway train that poor Thomas had to come pick up, uh, on top of these chairs, I can't go.

I came in, but you could come pick up that long line. My most memorable moment at the Met. I had gone with Iris a couple of years ago and the dress was a little more complicated than I had anticipated and trying to climb the stairs I ended up. looking like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings and yeah, I don't feel like it was my finest moment. I was posing and surfing and then trying to carry the damn dress up the stairs, my style is kind of I dress like me, um, because I need to relax.

I'm going to look like I just walked off the court from a WNBA game and sometimes I'm going to look like I just walked out of a 50's movie, it just depends on my My Vibe and on the days when I I feel sexy I'm going to be naked, this is, my Compton is my East Compton shamrocks outfit, yes, this photo was taken on the set of Bring It On, this was the championship, the day of filming we were there. in Oceanside on the pier and it was incredibly hot. I struggled to remember that

choreography

from today um, yeah, I don't have it, but yeah, I remember, I remember the panic afterwards, that was like the easiest scene and then I really had to like acting and matching with each other, after After filming we would all be together in the hotel in our rooms, like between different rooms and just talking and celebrating, a lot of partying, it was a good time, this is Paris Fashion Week. of men the men's show I don't remember what year it was 2017 Tom Brown I'm wearing a short suit set Short blazer matching a beautiful, it was a beautifully tailored white shirt that we added a brooch to the bottom to keep it taut, which which I'm a big fan of adding, it looks like you just add a thong to the bottom of your dress shirts and it keeps it in place and if you had a clip on the bottom of the thong you can go to the bathroom.

They got into a fight pretty easily over who was going to carry the dog bag, so we had to take turns carrying the dog, um, but I loved this look. I love going to fashion shows with Dee, my most treasured accessories, um, are my stack of wedding rings, uh, she began. not like a stack um I kept getting gifts like little rings that looked like my wedding band and I ended up with some of them that I thought I had lost my main band but I didn't tell my husband so I tried to replace it without for him to know and guess who had the ring the whole time waiting for me to ask him if he had seen it so I completely replaced it so the other bigger one wasn't the same size because I'm cheap but um yeah now I have five, oh my God, okay.

I remember this was a synchronized album release party in Hollywood. I went through a phase, a very strong phase of wearing what we called Derbies Derby hats at the time. a derby hat, I have the same kind of wavy weave that she had on uh she She she's All That Similar Vibes um. I bought this deep V striped blouse with similar circles and stripes at a vintage store in Ventura. I felt very well. I'm also rocking a choker which was standard at the time. I have no idea what that bag is or where it came from.

I guess someone gave it away and I thought, I'll take it, it looks like a The wedge looks like a deep, solid wedge and for now, girl, give us a wedge and we'll travel, so this is one of my favorite looks, this is Christopher John Rogers , uh, and not many people got this look, but this was a Paris trend. Week 2020 right before the pandemic started and everything shut down, but it's like a nice big orange Sunset bag, not a bag, um, but it looked like a gift, like a gift bag and I was the gift, no follow the trends, try to go out.

Set the trend in front, don't let the trend set you, um, that's a Spades reference, um, which is common in the black community, if you're ready, that means you step back, so don't let the trend makes you retreat, thanks for watching me play. It is a state of mind with
