WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920 Welcome back to another episode of Excuse My Grandma. It's Kim and my cohost. 00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:04.720 Grandma Gail. 00:00:21.525 --> 00:00:29.620 Okay. I'm so excited because we have three amazing guests in our studio today. Also, I hope everyone had a very happy Mother's Day 00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:30.260 Yes. 00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:51.165 And celebrated with their families. Cynthia Rowley, the amazing designer, Kit Keenan and Gigi Powers who I know you've seen on social media. They're all New Yorkers living in Downtown New York City, and I've loved watching them create content. So I'm excited to get into our conversation. Welcome, ladies. 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.000 Thanks for 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:52.800 having us. 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:53.360 Thank you. 00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:54.480 We've never had 00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:55.360 be here. 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.640 Five women or anyone in the studio before. 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.120 Well, we had to redecorate the studio because this is not meant for five people. 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:06.015 You guys are very snug on the couch. I hope that's okay. Perfect. 00:01:06.335 --> 00:01:09.215 Perfect. We like to be close to each other. Yeah. 00:01:09.215 --> 00:01:11.215 Well, you all live together, so that makes sense. 00:01:11.215 --> 00:01:11.695 We all 00:01:11.695 --> 00:01:14.815 live together. How is the living situation? 00:01:14.815 --> 00:01:22.250 I call it the sorority house alpha alpha alpha because we're all Alpha. You know Alphas. 00:01:22.250 --> 00:01:23.130 Alphas. Yeah. 00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:24.090 Yeah. That's 00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:28.730 Yeah. Actually, I'm probably the least powerful of the trio. 00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:47.025 That's not true. But it's funny because I bought an apartment in the West Village in December. Mhmm. And I'm still working on getting permits for renovations, but I still live at home because of that. And we've had this extra time that we didn't think that we were gonna have. 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.000 So it's been really fun, honestly. It's like so great living together. 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.480 I was like, just rent that place. Yeah. Rent it out to Stay home. And stay here. 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:06.585 Yeah. It's probably nice knowing that, like, it's not forever and you're going to this amazing, like New place. New place that you're Yeah. Curating. But for now Yeah. 00:02:06.665 --> 00:02:07.625 You're in this spot. 00:02:07.625 --> 00:02:07.945 Yeah. 00:02:07.945 --> 00:02:08.105 Yeah. 00:02:08.105 --> 00:02:19.110 I love living at home because the three of us, we share everything. We share our clothes. We are, like, always together, maybe a little bit codependent, but in the best way. 00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:30.230 Maybe Bob's figuring out about the marketing and the cleaning and everything else. She's got that on her on her list of things that she takes care of. So when you start doing it on your own, it's not as easy. 00:02:30.405 --> 00:02:30.805 Yeah. 00:02:30.805 --> 00:02:32.245 Right. That's right. 00:02:32.245 --> 00:02:33.605 That's for sure. 00:02:33.605 --> 00:02:35.845 Access to the closet is huge, though. 00:02:35.845 --> 00:02:36.165 Yeah. 00:02:36.165 --> 00:02:41.685 But you all, like, have a little bit of a different vibe with, like, style. Right? 00:02:41.685 --> 00:02:42.980 That's true. Yeah. Yeah. 00:02:42.980 --> 00:02:43.220 But I 00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:50.260 feel like we all can experiment and, like, try new stuff. Mhmm. So last night, I wore a piece from everyone's closet, 00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:51.860 and I was so so old. 00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:53.220 Yeah. That's so good. 00:02:53.220 --> 00:02:56.340 BG skirt, my top, my mom's jacket. 00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:57.540 And shoes. Shoes. 00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:09.435 Yeah. For those listening, because it's probably a lot of voices and not just watching Mhmm. Can you, like, introduce yourselves and maybe say what your style aesthetic is? 00:03:09.675 --> 00:03:26.580 Yeah. I'm Kit Keenan and I think my style aesthetic is probably the most mature of our family. Like, I like dressing a bit more conservative, but it's just what makes me feel the most confident. 00:03:28.045 --> 00:03:41.760 I'm Gigi Powers, and I'm not really sure, like, how I would categorize it. Maybe you could help me with, like, describing it, but I feel definitely less conservative 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:42.320 Mhmm. 00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:46.400 And more Eclectic, maybe? 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.240 Maybe he's mixing a lot of vintage pieces in. Yeah. Well, 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:57.585 that's so in now. And and also, you're the youngest. Yeah. So you're you're still just starting out in style and figuring it out. 00:03:57.585 --> 00:04:05.025 New things. Exactly. And what, like, silhouettes I like Mhmm. And what makes me feel, like, com comfortable and confident. Yeah. 00:04:05.105 --> 00:04:08.460 So I'm really, like, still discovering. 00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:20.715 Yeah. By the way, Gigi, like, that's so relatable. Like, I have no idea still Yeah. What my style is and how I would describe it. And even if I felt good in something before, I, like, don't know how to replicate it. 00:04:20.715 --> 00:04:22.235 Yeah. So it's hard. And I 00:04:22.235 --> 00:04:35.120 feel like as I'm, like, trying out the new silhouettes, I feel like it changes so much depending on the season. So I can, like, go back to what I was wearing last year, and I probably wouldn't wear that now. 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:35.680 Mhmm. 00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:42.400 So it's hard to commit to an aesthetic for clothes if I, like, don't know. Totally. 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:57.215 Alright. I'm gonna ask them because she's creating the styles and has for years. What do you have for this season that would be the one or two second piece that you would have to have in your closet if you were advising these young girls? 00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:08.480 Well, my style is a mix of sporty and, like, kind of maybe too sexy, which I'm looking down at my skirt right 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.320 No, it's pretty. A little see through, it's pretty. 00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:27.815 Pretty see through piece. Anyway, but always a little sporty. Mhmm. So, I think pieces, like, I mean, we've been making these cargo pants forever, and I kinda can't really live without them, and there's just new iterations of them. Right. 00:05:28.215 --> 00:05:39.610 They and just our trousers fit really well for my style. Dress them up, dress them down. And then 00:05:41.185 --> 00:05:48.945 another piece, the must have. A must have. Would it be a sweater or a jacket for this season? 00:05:48.945 --> 00:05:51.265 Well, coming up to surf and swim. 00:05:51.265 --> 00:06:04.030 Oh, yeah. I'm a you know, a wetsuit would be Yeah. You know, swim or a wetsuit, something, like, actually functional. Active wear. Yeah. 00:06:04.030 --> 00:06:06.270 Yeah. But I do like the pretty dresses 00:06:06.430 --> 00:06:06.670 Right. 00:06:06.670 --> 00:06:19.205 Too. I like to have, like, my one, like, kinda special piece In the closet. That I know I can, like, pull out when I wanna look kinda Great. Stand out. 00:06:19.205 --> 00:06:47.495 Yeah. We can It's funny because people always assume that we help our mom with design, and it's a big misconception because I neither of us work on my mom's brand at all. She has done it herself. And it's funny because people, like, will see this mesh completely see through bedazzled dress and be like, oh my gosh. You guys must be helping her design this stuff. 00:06:47.495 --> 00:06:54.800 Mhmm. This is so, like, young and fun and, you know, basically like a clubbing dress. And we're like, no, that's what she wants 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.640 to That's right. 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:57.440 Yeah. 00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:05.120 It's I have age dysmorphia, I think, which That's can probably agree on that, like, in my brain you know, when people 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.400 ask you think you're young. 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:24.720 What age did you do you think of, you know, when you're thinking about in your head how old you are, and I'm always kind of like, like a 15 year old boy? Maybe. I don't know. No, but like, think it is like maybe 30. Right. 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:25.280 35. 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:26.400 What about you, Grandma? 00:07:27.280 --> 00:08:01.500 Oh, I don't know, Kim, because when I was young I tried every clothes were always something that I loved to identify with, but I was always even though I was always into some designer that I always attached myself to for whatever reason at that particular year, it was always sort of on the conservative side because I was small. So I couldn't go. A lot of my friends were who were very, very tall could carry off a look that I never could. So, I think when I was in my thirties, I wore a lot of Saint Laurent, and I loved I loved the way he made a skirt. 00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:02.940 But now you don't at all. 00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:15.335 No. I don't even go into that store. But, you know, that was the time. That was in, you know, the seventies that I really was experimenting with my style. Now I put on a white shirt and a sweater, 00:08:15.335 --> 00:08:15.575 and 00:08:15.575 --> 00:08:42.835 whoever's brand I like, I wear, and I always wear the same You look great, Well, not Tom Brown Tom Brown became this year's my favorite. I've sort of now bought out everything he has, and because I like it. I live in Florida in winter, and I live here for six months. So you always need lightweight clothes, and I can't wear the heavy jackets, which I love if I was living in New York. Of course, I was here for every one of the snowstorms. 00:08:42.835 --> 00:08:43.155 That's 00:08:43.155 --> 00:08:58.650 true. And I had to go out and get double layers of things. But, you know, style just evolves as you age and what you're doing with it. If you're, you know, living a sporty life, I don't need the fancy dress anymore. I don't find we wear it. 00:08:59.210 --> 00:09:02.885 Most closets probably aren't like Grandma Gail's closets, but 00:09:03.125 --> 00:09:10.245 Well, I'm also vintage. I never throw anything good out. Yeah. Nothing good. Chanel is still in my closet from thirty years. 00:09:10.245 --> 00:09:18.650 I don't ever get rid of the designers that I love, but I wouldn't perhaps buy them today, but I mix and match with them. 00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:24.010 I always say I can't wear vintage because it looks like I haven't cleaned out my closet. You know? 00:09:24.010 --> 00:09:35.875 You can't go into my closet. It's all vintage. Went down well, Kim and I went recently, we went downtown to a vintage show, and I said, it's all my clothes. Why do I need to come down here? 00:09:35.875 --> 00:09:44.330 It's so funny because I feel like I never put it together, like, seeing your outfits. And now that I go into a lot of stores, I'm like, that's literally grandma's sweater that she wore 00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:50.970 last sweaters. Yeah. And I just keep them. I just keep them very nicely, and everything is always good from season to season. Yeah. 00:09:50.970 --> 00:10:07.985 First of I don't think you wear things, you know, unless you're you're on the farm working with animals. You don't you know, if you live in the city, you you put everything hopefully neatly away from season to season, and I, you know, have them cleaned properly, and you store them. And they could wear good things should last forever. 00:10:07.985 --> 00:10:08.705 Agreed. 00:10:08.705 --> 00:10:10.545 I want we need a closet tour. 00:10:11.410 --> 00:10:15.090 We did we did one on YouTube. Excuse My Closet, we called it 00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:15.650 Oh, you 00:10:15.970 --> 00:10:21.330 a while ago, but we need an updated one. Right. And we need some other like, you've you've added some stuff. 00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:39.315 I think, Cynthia, I would like some of your things in my closet at this point. She's reshowing stuff from many, many years ago. I think I need an update. That's why I have to keep, I get a new couple of sweaters every, six months just to lighten it up and make it more fun because, it gets a little old, Kim. 00:10:39.315 --> 00:10:47.390 Yeah. Cynthia, can you take us back to your early days, like moving from Illinois to New York and getting started in fashion, what that was like? 00:10:47.390 --> 00:10:51.550 Oh my gosh. I mean, it was in the nineteen hundreds. 00:10:51.550 --> 00:10:53.230 Like, okay. Had to Why? 00:10:53.230 --> 00:11:31.445 It was a long time ago. I mean, it was a completely different time. You know, in a lot of ways, I think, because I was so naive, I think it was easier. But if I were to do it now, I think it would be 10 times easier. I think it's much easier now with all the tools we have at our, you know, all the information, all the data, all the, you know, to create an audience, to, like, have a great supply chain. 00:11:31.445 --> 00:11:47.660 Like, all these things were things that took years in the beginning, you know, to develop that network. And now I think it's, like, definitely more truncated, the whole process. 00:11:47.660 --> 00:12:05.515 And I think it's easier for women now. It wasn't easy when that easy when Cynthia started. I mean, I know my family was in the fashion business, and there were very few women, you know, Donna Karan perhaps and a couple of people that came before her, that were really out there, but there was mostly a male dominated 00:12:05.780 --> 00:12:06.980 fashion time. 00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:10.500 Now women have the same thing as men, same opportunity. 00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:17.860 I think people started to realize women know what women want. You know? And that was like a big 00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:18.260 I 00:12:18.260 --> 00:12:19.540 revelation, you 00:12:20.020 --> 00:12:36.320 mean, that was think, a little before I started. But yeah, I mean, I feel very, very lucky, very lucky to have survived and thrived and, you know, be able to do what I do every day, I feel so 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:37.680 lucky. So much fun. Mhmm. 00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:38.720 Yeah, so much fun. 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.840 And it's fun being in New York and doing that. Yeah. I mean 00:12:42.000 --> 00:13:09.470 I mean, it's really like I mean, I feel like it's like a magic trick that you get to have an idea and then make it a reality, and to be able to, like, share it with people. And I was in Chicago this past weekend and met all these women. We had, like, a trunk show. Met all these women, and they're it's they're so happy to be able you know, to have this 00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:29.465 come in and and who's got style, and, you know, you you get very jaded living here. I think here in LA probably have distinct styles, but when you go to other cities that are not quite into the fashion mode, they really are hungering for it. And I mean, they're very fashionable, but 00:13:30.185 --> 00:13:44.965 it's just like to be able to see the that you're bringing someone, and when they put something on and feel so good in it, and like, oh my god, you know, they're so happy about it. It's like you can really see the joy, 00:13:44.965 --> 00:13:56.325 you know? Now I was kinda curious about this because I see it myself in my own life. Do you find now that you're selling more online, or is it still brick and mortar? 00:13:56.540 --> 00:13:58.780 Oh, way more online. Online. 00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:06.380 Yeah. Well, that's what we all projected it would be a few years ago. Yeah. I mean, because it's so easy now to do it. 00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:13.255 But that's what I'm the difference between when I started and now, it's, like, crazy. It's so much easier. Yeah. 00:14:13.255 --> 00:14:34.260 Yeah. I like what you were saying about, like, thinking of an idea and just making it a reality. I feel like I really relate to that with, like, starting Excuse My Grandma and Our Brand because it is such a cool concept to be like I just one day was like, Grandma, let's do this thing, and now look where we are. And I think so many people should just, like, try to follow that. 00:14:34.260 --> 00:14:37.555 Just do it. Well, yeah, just do it. Wait. That's brand slogan. Yeah. 00:14:37.555 --> 00:15:01.530 It's not as easy as you guys. It's not easy, but I'm You saying, to have a concept. You have to have people behind you, you know, manufacturing and creating and doing a whole especially when you're creating a piece of clothing, it's easy to have the idea, but then you have to have the person in the factories to make it and the women to sew it and the men to sew it. So it's in a whole process, but we certainly have the ability to do it now. Right. 00:15:01.530 --> 00:15:02.970 Yeah. Which is wonderful. 00:15:02.970 --> 00:15:12.415 Yeah. Gigi and Kit, how were you feeling? Like, were there any rules around borrowing clothes and the closet? 00:15:12.415 --> 00:15:13.775 Out of your mom's closet. 00:15:13.775 --> 00:15:18.090 Yeah. Uh-oh. Honestly, no. Like, I think 00:15:18.170 --> 00:15:23.370 I mean, there's still stuff that actually, I was gonna ask you about this that leather jacket. 00:15:23.370 --> 00:15:26.810 Yeah. I have it. Okay. I have it. There are certain things that I 00:15:26.970 --> 00:15:29.930 That just disappeared years ago that I forgot I 00:15:29.930 --> 00:15:30.490 had. Yeah. 00:15:30.490 --> 00:15:40.705 Yeah. I think, honestly, at this point, we're, like, all around the same size. Gigi's a lot taller, but we're all around the same size. So we just 00:15:41.025 --> 00:15:41.825 Mix and match. 00:15:41.825 --> 00:15:52.340 Feel each other's clothes all the time. Yeah. Like, I will go into go into Gigi's closet and I'm like, oh, that's my corset that I love to wear out. And it's been in there for months. 00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:55.940 What's the best piece you think you've borrowed from each other? 00:15:55.940 --> 00:16:10.055 Probably the jacket that my mom is talking about. It's a vintage, like, navy blue leather Saint Laurent jacket. Sick. And maybe I've never been on to it for as long as possible. 00:16:10.055 --> 00:16:13.570 I bought it, like, cause I thought it was really special. 00:16:13.650 --> 00:16:16.850 Yeah. So Mhmm. Something you both 00:16:16.850 --> 00:16:19.890 got from your mom personality wise? 00:16:23.170 --> 00:17:20.325 I think the the way that my mom's brain works, the reason that she's been in business for so long is because she has the creative side and she also has the business side. And I think that's really hard in fashion to find because there are a lot of, like, startup brands that start with all business and then the product itself isn't, you know, beautiful or creative. But then she also has such a creative mind that she like goes to sleep at night with a pad by the side of her bed and like will wake up at three in the morning and sketch. And I think we both have both of those sides of our brain where like we're very hungry to make a career for ourselves but then on the other side I think we both have like a creative medium that we're drawn to and I think that's what you need to be successful 00:17:20.325 --> 00:17:26.085 in that. So Right. Yeah. For sure. Cynthia, is there something you love when your daughters wear? 00:17:26.085 --> 00:17:27.365 Like, you think they look the best in? 00:17:30.540 --> 00:17:31.180 Everything. 00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:32.940 I think they look good in everything, to tell you. 00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:42.620 I attribute them. Everything. Like, we I don't think we put a lot of emphasis on fashion, really, 00:17:42.620 --> 00:17:43.660 at home. Yeah. 00:17:43.660 --> 00:17:44.540 Is that true? 00:17:44.540 --> 00:17:45.500 That's true. Yeah. 00:17:45.500 --> 00:18:11.660 Like, we don't we get in our cozies at home, and I I just think it's never been, like, an obsession. Mhmm. You know, it's just something that's, like, always been there, luckily, but and maybe that's why it's not an obsession. But we don't, like, covet things or, like, talk about fashion. We don't even Interesting. 00:18:12.060 --> 00:18:14.300 Not relate to that. I feel like we talk about it a lot. 00:18:14.300 --> 00:18:16.380 You do. You do. 00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:19.015 I got because I'm always I always need your help. 00:18:19.015 --> 00:18:21.735 Cynthia, do you do a home collection as well? 00:18:23.015 --> 00:18:34.260 We just we do little collabs. Yeah. Like, we we had one launch last week with Pottery Barn that's tabletop and bedding and 00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:39.540 because I could see that happening, especially with her new apartment. Could see that. I wanna We've do 00:18:41.060 --> 00:18:50.665 done a lot of little collabs like that, a lot of, you know, small collections. But we're working on something. 00:18:50.665 --> 00:19:10.520 Yeah. Because I think people need help in that area. You know, a lot of the young people today, they look great, and they have a sense of style, but they can't do it in their homes. They're not so they don't have the confidence to do it in their homes, and I think that would be right up your alley because you know you're very good at that. 00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:12.760 Well, I would love to do that. I think it would 00:19:12.760 --> 00:19:14.145 be see? I'm gonna be your 00:19:14.145 --> 00:19:48.855 manager Let's go. No, I think that that is, you know, self expression. I think it is something that people should experiment with. You know, everybody's always like, well, I'm just gonna do white everywhere, And you that is great for some people. It's like, I mean, clarity of mind or whatever it is, but it's also, I think, a place that you can really, like, show what what your your style is. 00:19:48.855 --> 00:19:51.815 Mhmm. Yeah. Wait. Cynthia, I did beige everywhere. 00:19:51.975 --> 00:19:53.015 I just moved Well, I 00:19:53.015 --> 00:20:00.360 love beige. No. But I don't want it to be all beige. Now that it is, I'm like, it needs life to it. Can I do that with accessories and 00:20:00.360 --> 00:20:00.840 stuff? 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:08.040 Get, like, some Yellow. Beautiful painting, like a gorgeous painting. Yeah. Colorful paint, like, giant painting. 00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:39.970 But I totally relate to that because, like, the house that we grew up in, that we still live in, my mom has such a, like, creative sense of decorating that there's prints everywhere, and I'm trying to be as sensitive as possible. There's prints everywhere and, like, fun. We have, like, a huge yellow fur chaise lounge, and we, like, 00:20:39.970 --> 00:20:42.210 right in the walk in. Guys. Your mom was. 00:20:43.625 --> 00:20:49.225 Beautiful prints up the stairs, but, like, everything in color and crazy wooden paper. Yeah. 00:20:49.305 --> 00:20:58.310 Bit up the stairs onto the crazy print on the wall with, like, a bronze staircase, like, banister. 00:20:58.310 --> 00:21:04.470 Yeah. Custom banister. It's a lot. Red paint in the gym. Like, everything is 00:21:04.470 --> 00:21:05.910 hella I'm up. 00:21:05.910 --> 00:21:13.045 You're fired. But that's why Then, like, your apartment, you'll want to keep, like, very clean. 00:21:13.045 --> 00:21:13.285 Yeah. 00:21:13.285 --> 00:21:14.405 That's what I'm curious. 00:21:14.405 --> 00:21:42.895 But it's funny because people were commenting like, oh, this is definitely gonna be a beige influencer apartment. And I was like, you should go follow someone else if you want eclectic style because I want my apartment to feel like a hotel, honestly. Like, I love peaceful, clean energy. And then I think you can have fun, like, with the art or little touches here and there. But, like, for me, the main pieces will 00:21:42.895 --> 00:21:43.455 Would it be beige? 00:21:43.455 --> 00:21:46.815 Be beige or white. And I'm so sorry about that. 00:21:46.815 --> 00:21:48.335 What is an influencer apartment? 00:21:49.250 --> 00:22:02.765 An influencer apartment is, honestly, like, kind of the vibes of what we're sitting in right now. I was just really upset. Though. Really pretty. And usually, like, a lot of boucle, white. 00:22:03.165 --> 00:22:09.165 Well, it's hard to think because when you're like, you don't want it to distract from your or it's just 00:22:09.325 --> 00:22:39.925 Well, honestly, I like, my room at home, I get that comment sometimes too. And I think for me, a lot of it is because I'm filming for brands in that space and I wanna be able to change it Right. Easily. And also, there's a lot of issues around IP. So if you have crazy prints that someone else owns or art pieces that someone else owns the right for, you're gonna have to blur those out of the back of every video. 00:22:39.925 --> 00:22:41.020 So so true. 00:22:41.020 --> 00:22:45.820 It's actually if you're using your space as a studio to film content, it's something that 00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.780 Has to be neutral. 00:22:46.860 --> 00:22:47.340 Thinking about. 00:22:47.340 --> 00:22:54.075 Yeah. Such a good point. I feel like every time we film in Palm Beach, you you have a 20 foot wall with a big art 00:22:54.075 --> 00:22:55.515 piece on it. I keep saying. 00:22:55.515 --> 00:22:57.595 And I have to blur it every time or that, like, people get 00:22:57.755 --> 00:23:02.475 Well, I can't redecorate for your filming. I know. I know. Those things are there. What's on 00:23:02.475 --> 00:23:02.875 the wall? 00:23:02.875 --> 00:23:29.105 I wanna This is very contemporary. I got it of my when I had a home. There was a big contemporary home. I had this painting that I bought from the Rubell's, years and years and years ago, and when I bought it, he had for a while they had a studio in Palm Beach, and I walked in, and it's a triptych. And he said, Unless you take it, I'm not sending it over just for you to look at, you know, because it I was a said, Don't worry, I'm taking it. 00:23:29.105 --> 00:23:47.700 I measured it. And now I've often thought if I leave the space I'm in, I don't know what I'd have to give one panel to each child because nobody has walls or ceilings this high. Who's Artist. It's a fellow named Howard. He was a non entity, and I think he's even less of an entity now. 00:23:47.700 --> 00:24:04.950 I bought it thirty years ago. It's the one thing the Rebels probably didn't make money on, and I ended up with it. But, you know, I have very much what you were saying. I have all beige furniture, but I did it with the art around that's very, very colorful. And I like that. 00:24:04.950 --> 00:24:15.510 I find that peaceful for me. But your new apartment, first of all, it's all windows. So, it's very hard to put anything in there. Everything is glass. 00:24:15.510 --> 00:24:16.230 Have few walls. 00:24:16.230 --> 00:24:24.675 I don't know where. Do. It's like, you know, I would be I wouldn't look good in that apartment after a while because you see all the lines. 00:24:24.835 --> 00:24:26.115 What? You don't see your 00:24:26.115 --> 00:24:30.995 your reflection. Natural you I see myself in all those the light that comes in. 00:24:31.340 --> 00:24:32.140 I like a little 00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:33.340 yourself? Bit Yes. I like 00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:35.420 a little bit of tone down beige's. 00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:43.740 Oh, yeah. The shades down. Well, actually, when Zach and I went over to your apartment the other day, I mean this in the nicest way possible. When we went back to my apartment Yeah. 00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.220 It's a big 00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:52.035 to our apartment, we were like, oh my god. It's bright out. We thought it was nighttime at yours. It's dark in there. I like it. 00:24:52.035 --> 00:24:52.195 Yeah. 00:24:52.195 --> 00:24:53.075 That's what I like. 00:24:53.075 --> 00:24:53.395 I have 00:24:53.395 --> 00:25:00.355 certain only I have certain clothes that I only wear after dark. Because it's a little too short, but if it's dark Right. 00:25:00.355 --> 00:25:01.155 I wear it. High. 00:25:01.250 --> 00:25:01.650 Yeah. 00:25:01.650 --> 00:25:05.970 Yeah. Never in the Anything sheer. Bright sunlight. Mhmm. But at night. 00:25:05.970 --> 00:25:13.250 Yeah. So we're recording this right before Mother's Day. It will come out slightly after Mother's Day. Do you guys have any plans? 00:25:14.395 --> 00:25:14.795 Yeah. 00:25:14.795 --> 00:25:20.635 Yes. I think we're gonna go do some massages. No. That's It's fun. Mhmm. 00:25:20.635 --> 00:25:27.115 And then we're gonna have, like, do my mom's ideal Sunday on Sunday, and just 00:25:27.275 --> 00:25:41.320 I have a friend who is also a single mom of of three kids. So every Mother's Day, we always spend together. Oh, that's so For two moms and our collective five kids. 00:25:41.320 --> 00:25:42.040 Mhmm. That's lovely. 00:25:42.040 --> 00:25:47.525 That's And we always do, like, an early dinner. There might be three moms this time. 00:25:48.245 --> 00:25:48.965 Are getting And 00:25:49.045 --> 00:25:51.925 six kids, so we'll have to see how that goes. 00:25:51.925 --> 00:26:03.600 That's nice. That's nice. We're gonna try to go to the country and eat outside, but we'll see. We'll see. If the weather is not permitting, we'll do something inside. 00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:05.440 It's my favorite day of the 00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:05.680 year. 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:06.800 It's a lovely day. 00:26:06.800 --> 00:26:09.705 And I just visited my mom. 00:26:09.705 --> 00:26:11.145 Oh. I was just gonna ask that. 00:26:11.145 --> 00:26:16.665 Who is 89. Okay. So, I just visited her in Illinois. 00:26:16.905 --> 00:26:18.505 Oh, that's wonderful. It was great. 00:26:18.505 --> 00:26:19.305 How often do you see her? 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:24.040 Few times a year. She'll come here. 00:26:24.040 --> 00:26:24.680 Okay. Great. 00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:29.720 You still have family out? Does she have family in Illinois that is near her? 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.000 Yeah. My brother 00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:33.320 lives Oh, so that's perfect. Yeah. Perfect. 00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:35.720 She was here for the CFDA Awards, 00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:35.880 which 00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:41.345 was exciting. And so, yeah, we see each other. 00:26:41.345 --> 00:26:41.825 Is there a 00:26:41.825 --> 00:26:42.705 question funny. 00:26:42.705 --> 00:26:48.705 Gave you that, like, you feel like you've given to Kit and Gigi kind of passed down? 00:26:48.865 --> 00:27:17.235 I mean, my mom is one of the funniest people I know. She has that, like, doesn't care what you think. She always says stuff. Sorta like backhanded. Like, I was asked to do this charity thing for David Schwimmer's theater company, The Looking Glass, in Chicago, and she says, like, we're talking about it, and I said, you know, it's nice. 00:27:17.235 --> 00:27:31.500 I'm gonna you know, he asked me to come. And she's like, well, he must have asked a lot of other people first because, you know, you're you live in New York, and he's asking you. And I'm like Hello? What do you say? You know what mean? 00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:58.990 But she says stuff like that. Or she was like, I was saying I was gonna go to my high school reunion that's coming up, and she goes, Why? Well, there's, you know, I think there's a certain, like, a lot of people, once they get to a certain level, they don't really They don't really go. So I'm like, so what you're saying is I'm not famous enough to not go to my reunion. Is that what you're saying? 00:27:58.990 --> 00:28:00.830 I don't think she could have done like that. 00:28:00.910 --> 00:28:08.495 But she says stuff like that, and she thinks she knows it's funny. Right. But she also is like, she's giving it By a little to my 00:28:09.215 --> 00:28:18.120 the way, you're preaching to the choir. That's like GrandmaGale in a nutshell. Yeah. It's just like all generation. Spoken. 00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:19.800 Yeah. Or maybe it's a generational thing. 00:28:19.800 --> 00:28:21.560 Like, don't have a filter after a 00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:22.040 while. 00:28:22.040 --> 00:28:22.600 That too. 00:28:22.600 --> 00:28:24.440 Yeah. And things don't impress you. 00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.360 Right. You know? Very little impresses us at 00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:31.815 that Back in the day, was like, mom, I'm gonna be on Letterman. Oh, I can't stay up that late. 00:28:31.815 --> 00:28:33.975 Right. What? 00:28:34.535 --> 00:28:37.575 Like, literally right in my place. 00:28:37.575 --> 00:28:51.990 For us, I'm like, can I book us on not something as big as Letterman, but, like, you know, some other important interview, whatever? And you're like, can't. Like playing bridge with my friends that day. And you're just like 00:28:52.070 --> 00:28:55.830 I'm busy. Perspective. Come on. Yeah. This is a big deal. 00:28:55.830 --> 00:28:58.335 Well, bring on with the bridge game was important evidently. 00:28:58.335 --> 00:29:07.375 I get evidently. No. It's so funny. Is there anything you feel like any of you that mom should stop saying to their daughters? 00:29:09.135 --> 00:29:20.310 Well, one thing that we always had growing up, which I think is surprising because our mom is a fashion designer, is she was always like, wear whatever you want. 00:29:20.310 --> 00:29:21.270 Yeah. Was gonna say. 00:29:21.270 --> 00:29:37.795 Like, she always encouraged us to be creative with our style. Like, I wore a birthday crown every single day for a year. And Gigi wore a Barbie life jacket to her first day of kindergarten. Obviously. And I think it was just like 00:29:37.875 --> 00:29:39.075 a jacket like a vest. 00:29:39.075 --> 00:29:42.760 Yeah. A vest with like buckles. And kindergarten. 00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:42.920 I thought 00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.440 you were gonna be like to her first day of college. I'm like, oh, interesting. 00:29:46.440 --> 00:30:03.245 That was an interesting choice. But I think it's just about like embracing your child's style and however they wanna express that. So I guess it's just stop saying no to wearing things that they wouldn't wear. 00:30:03.245 --> 00:30:04.365 I like that. Yeah. 00:30:04.365 --> 00:30:15.140 I mean, self comp it's confidence. It's self expression. It's like you have to can't tell a child what to wear. Mhmm. You have to figure it out. 00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:23.220 Yeah. Exactly. Kit and Gigi, how open are you with your mom about, like, dating and relationships? 00:30:24.485 --> 00:30:36.485 Like, very open. Yeah. Very open. Yeah. I feel like I was single for pretty much all of my early twenties, so my mom, like, saw everything. 00:30:36.485 --> 00:30:55.805 Yeah. And in that time, I think we, like, got to a point where she just was, like, hearing about every single day and, like It's like us. If I was upset about something, like, would be there to listen. And I think we just have, like, a really open 00:30:55.885 --> 00:30:56.285 That's what? 00:30:56.445 --> 00:30:59.565 Dialogue. I think I give good advice. I like 00:30:59.565 --> 00:31:16.890 it because you both give very different advice. Okay. So it's nice to, like, take a little bit of both. Right. And we're so close, like, no one knows me better, that they have to know, like, who I'm seeing or whatever and see how they think, 00:31:16.890 --> 00:31:18.810 like, their advice is different? 00:31:20.385 --> 00:31:22.385 Well, I don't have the best track record, but 00:31:22.545 --> 00:31:31.745 You don't have the best track record, and I feel like you like to side with the boys. Oh. Like, you like to hear them 00:31:32.065 --> 00:31:32.625 trained out 00:31:32.625 --> 00:31:32.785 of 00:31:32.785 --> 00:31:33.440 that, though. 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:35.520 No. I know. Not anymore. 00:31:35.520 --> 00:31:45.520 Yeah. But you see more Somebody broke somebody broke me. You see, like, more both sides, maybe. Yeah. And you, at least in the past Harsh. 00:31:45.520 --> 00:31:48.525 Have been a harsher critic on the boys. Yeah. 00:31:48.525 --> 00:31:54.445 Alright. Like, you play devil's advocate. Yeah. And Kit's, like, one and done. Like, you get one shot. 00:31:54.445 --> 00:31:56.045 Yeah. Okay. Interesting. 00:31:56.045 --> 00:31:58.045 Also, I love having the boys around. 00:31:58.285 --> 00:31:58.765 Okay. 00:31:58.765 --> 00:32:09.360 Like, I love, like That energy. If everybody's all there at the house and all hanging out. Like, everybody leaves their shoes at the door. Mhmm. And when I come home, I'm like, who's here? 00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:10.880 Here. Here. Here. Yeah. 00:32:11.040 --> 00:32:14.995 That's so fun. Oh, okay. Now you're in a long distance relationship. Right? 00:32:14.995 --> 00:32:21.955 Yeah. Well, actually not anymore because my boyfriend finally has his visa Yeah. Which I'm really excited about. So he lives in New York now. 00:32:21.955 --> 00:32:22.515 Great. 00:32:22.835 --> 00:32:26.915 But, yeah, we did long distance for almost two years. 00:32:26.915 --> 00:32:27.955 Same as did that too. 00:32:29.930 --> 00:32:52.535 And it was definitely really hard at times, but I also think it built a lot of healthy communication and some fundamental just openness that you have to have for a long term relationship. So in that way, now that it's over, I can say it was probably a gift. 00:32:52.535 --> 00:33:10.750 Yes. I totally agree where it's like you almost built those skills like earlier than you would have if you were living in the same place. And obviously, you had to prioritize each other at times. And like, I went through all of that as well. And my boyfriend recently moved here. 00:33:11.695 --> 00:33:15.695 So then you feel like, okay, success story, but it could have gone a different direction, I guess. 00:33:15.695 --> 00:33:33.910 I also think I'm not someone who struggles with this necessarily, but I think a lot of people when they first start a relationship, they really lose their independence. And Yes. When you're in a long distance relationship, you have to maintain that. Like, you really have to focus on your friendships and 00:33:34.150 --> 00:33:34.470 Mhmm. 00:33:34.470 --> 00:33:48.985 Your community outside of your relationship because when that person's not in town, like, you are still doing all the things that you were doing when you were single. So I think that is also a great, you know, plus of 00:33:48.985 --> 00:34:01.140 it. Mhmm. And obviously, your dating life was, like, kind of on TV when you were on The Bachelor. Cynthia, what did you what were the feelings around that when when Kit did The Bachelor? 00:34:01.940 --> 00:34:20.980 I mean, it was during COVID. Yeah. So I understood that she was, like, dying to do something and get out you know, be with people, so I get it, but I did tell her I didn't think it would be 00:34:22.580 --> 00:34:23.140 idea. I 00:34:23.860 --> 00:34:39.245 don't wanna say I just said I'll never do hometowns. That was my one thing. I'll never do hometowns. So, and when she left, you know, there's no communication at all. So I didn't know Okay. 00:34:40.525 --> 00:34:51.760 How it was going, if she was, you know, was she still there? I knew she wasn't home, so, but they tried to, you know, they tried to get me and Gigi to go 00:34:52.160 --> 00:34:54.160 Wait, and did do you do hometowns? 00:34:54.160 --> 00:34:57.680 No. Okay. No, I didn't. I left, like, right before. 00:34:57.680 --> 00:34:59.120 The night before, right? 00:34:59.120 --> 00:35:00.800 So you took your mom's advice, kind of. 00:35:01.105 --> 00:35:05.105 Yeah. Well, I just I just 00:35:05.105 --> 00:35:08.545 said I wouldn't do it, but you Of could've course. You know. 00:35:08.625 --> 00:35:36.575 During it, honestly, I wanted to, like, do something outside of my comfort zone. And the whole time, like, in the back of my head, I had that idea that I would leave at a certain point. But actually, like, when you're there, I feel like you fall into it a little bit more. So for me, I really had to decide. Like, once hometowns came around, I really was like, am I going to do this? 00:35:37.055 --> 00:35:47.650 And at that point, I just decided, like, there are so many other girls there that were further down the line with their feelings. So I decided it was probably time for me Yeah. 00:35:47.730 --> 00:35:49.650 To leave. You would have came to the same conclusion. 00:35:49.650 --> 00:35:57.410 Yeah. You handled yourself so well So the youngest person to ever be on there. Right? Because she had just turned 21. 00:35:57.410 --> 00:36:01.415 So young. So crazy. It was fun, though. Yeah. It's a good experience. 00:36:01.415 --> 00:36:01.895 Yeah. 00:36:02.455 --> 00:36:06.295 And kind of introduced you a little bit to the whole media world. Right? 00:36:06.295 --> 00:36:27.900 Yeah. Well, I was already doing social media before that. Right. And I probably had, like, 30,000 followers just from showing my life in New York and my outfits and things. And then I did The Bachelor and that really opened me up to a whole other audience, which was fun for me. 00:36:29.100 --> 00:36:45.910 And then after that, since then, I've just been building my brand online separately. And it's funny because I feel like I've distanced myself a lot from the franchise, but I still appreciate what it gave me at the time. 00:36:45.910 --> 00:36:46.150 Yeah. 00:36:46.150 --> 00:36:46.310 So 00:36:46.470 --> 00:37:08.245 I feel like there's so many people who never get out of that. Like, I still think of them, oh, it's a bachelor person. Genuinely, until I sat down to write questions, I like forgot you were on it because I love like following you and your content is so like far from that now. So I think you're one of the few cases where it actually kind of worked where you were able to distance yourself. 00:37:08.245 --> 00:37:37.105 Yeah. I think I did it when I was so young and then I really, after that, took social media seriously because before that, I was just, like, for fun. Mhmm. And afterwards, I really was like, I think this could be a viable career path for me and so I'm gonna pour everything I have into it. And then I really create I worked on creating a brand for myself that was outside of writing and outside of reality 00:37:37.105 --> 00:37:50.390 TV. Mhmm.

Do you have a content schedule? Like, how are you following trends? 00:38:26.205 --> 00:38:49.050 So I just announced my cookbook this year Yes. Which has been a project that I've been working on for almost two years now. It takes a really long time to make a cookbook. And so my content strategy has changed a little bit around that. But I would say, like, for me now, my focus is on promoting the book. 00:38:49.050 --> 00:39:14.000 Yeah. And so it's just doing fun collabs with other creators and cooking from the book and showing, you know, all all of the fun recipes that I work so hard on. And other than that, it's like mixing in some some of that organic content that I know performs well for me and then mixing in fun trends. 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.400 Mhmm. Is 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.035 mom a good cook? Yeah. She's amazing. 00:39:17.035 --> 00:39:20.875 So are any of the recipes from what you saw at home? 00:39:20.875 --> 00:39:31.360 Yes. Definitely.

My grandma's an amazing cook, so a lot of the recipes are inspired by 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:46.805 my grandma. What are we gonna do when we don't when she moves But, 00:39:47.205 --> 00:39:49.045 yeah, they basically have the dry cook chef out. 00:39:49.045 --> 00:39:49.925 You have the cook home. 00:39:49.925 --> 00:39:50.165 Yeah. 00:39:50.165 --> 00:39:51.605 You're the in in house 00:39:51.605 --> 00:39:52.725 chef.

That would so cute. I would 00:40:08.980 --> 00:40:14.845 love that. We've been doing this segment not super frequently, but called Excuse My Cooking because 00:40:14.845 --> 00:40:15.965 we're not terrible. 00:40:16.125 --> 00:40:17.085 So we're like 00:40:17.325 --> 00:40:18.365 I can help you guys. 00:40:18.365 --> 00:40:19.805 Alright. Well, we need your help. 00:40:19.805 --> 00:40:31.830 Everything best. Everything in my cookbook is super approachable, super easy. You can do it, like, with absolutely no background or any professional cooking experience. So 00:40:32.150 --> 00:40:33.670 But we have aprons. 00:40:33.990 --> 00:40:34.950 Yeah. I I print 00:40:34.950 --> 00:40:35.830 the house out that. 00:40:35.830 --> 00:40:37.430 You're halfway there. 00:40:37.430 --> 00:40:39.030 We're halfway there. Yeah. 00:40:39.110 --> 00:40:49.165 Yeah. Our pink aprons, that's the only part I like about the whole. What do you all think every New York City girl should know how to cook? 00:40:50.685 --> 00:41:18.925 I think living in New York is a lot of times people don't have a lot of kitchen space and probably don't have, like, all of the fun crazy cooking gadgets. So, like, a one pan, one pot recipe is really what I think everyone should know how to make. Like, an easy one pot pasta or a sheet pan dinner. Thirty minutes. Thirty minutes. 00:41:18.925 --> 00:41:20.445 Quick. Perfect. Yeah. 00:41:20.445 --> 00:41:23.805 Yeah. Yeah. Because nobody has a lot of nobody wants to put a lot of time unless you 00:41:23.805 --> 00:41:24.605 are cook. 00:41:24.605 --> 00:41:37.220 Yeah. Unless you really are a good cook. But someone who is coming home from the office and really just wants to put something good on the table, they'd like to do it quickly. Wasn't that Rachel Ray's that's what made her famous, the thirty minute meal? 00:41:37.220 --> 00:41:37.620 Yeah. 00:41:37.620 --> 00:41:44.555 Think so. So, I mean, she's now in Tuscany, so she did very well with that thirty minute beef. 00:41:44.555 --> 00:41:56.700 If you're dating, I have a recipe in my book called wifey fettuccine Oh. Which I think is what made my boyfriend fall in love with me. So if you're dating, everyone should know how to make that too. 00:41:56.700 --> 00:41:58.700 That's that's a good one to hand out. 00:41:58.700 --> 00:42:08.060 Yeah. That is good. Oh, we have to try all of these. Cynthia, what do you think the biggest, like, hosting mistake is that people make? 00:42:08.620 --> 00:42:09.100 Mistake? 00:42:12.265 --> 00:42:13.625 I wanna hear your answer 00:42:13.625 --> 00:42:37.880 from Grandma. I think it's just being, like, too uptight about things. Like, I if people bring a guest or bring ex you just pull up another chair. Like, just Right. Be No big generous and open minded about everything and making it, like, I think Inclusive. 00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:45.455 Inclusive. The more, the merrier. That is always I always say it's not what's on the table. It's what's on the chairs. 00:42:45.455 --> 00:42:47.375 Right. That's a oh, that's one, That you 00:42:47.935 --> 00:42:48.655 I love. Okay. 00:42:48.655 --> 00:42:51.295 You're putting that on a plate, and it's in your homeware collection. 00:42:51.295 --> 00:42:52.335 Oh, that's oh, 00:42:52.575 --> 00:42:53.455 Artificing this. 00:42:53.720 --> 00:42:55.000 See? Thanks. I'm telling 00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:55.880 you, this is good. 00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:57.480 So, what do think, Grandma hosting mistake? 00:42:57.480 --> 00:42:58.440 That is a good one. 00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:25.880 Well, I think the biggest problem would be if you would be making something that was not really instinctive to you. You know, do something that you're comfortable with making because it is about sharing with the people around the table, and don't make it so complicated and so difficult that you're spending the entire time in the kitchen doing it. So it would be something easy for you to make like a one pot meal, which I always used to love. I I was with my family. That that was the best dinner. 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:31.160 Well, it ever came in the casserole. The kid everybody loved it. Serving with some rice or pasta was a perfect night. 00:43:31.160 --> 00:43:31.400 Mhmm. 00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:31.640 Yeah. 00:43:31.640 --> 00:43:35.080 So make it easy and fun. Yeah. Because we're not professionals. 00:43:35.175 --> 00:43:35.575 Yeah. 00:43:35.575 --> 00:43:40.535 You know, leave it to the professional over there. She can do a little more elaborate. For us, we have to keep it easy. 00:43:40.535 --> 00:43:50.520 Gigi, I wanna hear from you, like, having Kit as an example in content and, like, looking at what she does and, like, what your vision is for what your creation 00:43:50.520 --> 00:43:51.320 I used 00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:51.480 to be 00:43:51.480 --> 00:44:34.925 so scared and just, like, more shy. But I can't imagine how much scarier it would be if I didn't have you as a role model. And, like, see like, I think you're both of you, I think you guys are the coolest people ever. So, like, if you have no shame in whipping out the tripod in public and, like, filming yourself or putting yourself out there in a way that's very vulnerable and, like, open to feedback and criticism, like, that's something that I'm not afraid to do because I have, like, two role models that have put themselves out there. That's so So to be. 00:44:34.925 --> 00:45:00.085 It's been so so amazing. And I also think it's been a really great, like, growing opportunity for my personal life and, like, personal relationships being more confident. Like, if I'm sharing my life and, like, my days and, like, very vulnerable moments online, it should be easier to talk to people in person and, like, have a easier way connecting. 00:45:00.565 --> 00:45:26.180 Yes. Like, really quickly, I also relate to that because I feel like sometimes I would be nervous to go to social events, like, by myself or brand events or whatever. And then when there are people who will recognize you for your content and come up to you and feel like they can talk to you, whether they're a consumer or, like, a follower or another content creator, like, you end up talking to a bunch of people. You don't have to go up to anyone. And that's like the best feeling. 00:45:26.315 --> 00:45:31.595 And you make so many amazing friends. Yes. And it's like you really can carve out your own community. 00:45:31.595 --> 00:45:35.035 Mhmm. Yeah. I feel like, Kit, you've made a group of friends through content 00:45:35.115 --> 00:45:49.130 Yeah. Definitely. Which is so fun to see. It's such a gift. Like, I I think I've made it easier for Gigi also just because I'm so grateful for my job. 00:45:49.130 --> 00:46:14.510 Like, I always I tell everyone that they should try it if they have a tiny inspiration to post online because I like pinch myself every day that this is my job. I've been able to travel all over the world with girls that started out as complete strangers to me and now like we're all going, you know, on each other's bachelorette trips or to each other's weddings. 00:46:14.510 --> 00:46:20.270 Can we talk about the acquired style back in that for a minute? It was amazing. It was it looked amazing. 00:46:20.270 --> 00:46:27.535 It was, like, perfect from the moment we arrived, and I would not expect anything less from Bridget. 00:46:27.535 --> 00:46:27.935 Mhmm. 00:46:27.935 --> 00:47:20.100 But, yeah, it's like things like that that I feel it's so you know, a lot of times people have the that with their coworkers if they work in an office, like, become very close with those people. So it's the same, but then imagine, like, having incredible experiences traveling together. Like, in the beginning, before, like, a lot of us had a bigger following, we were, like, traveling everywhere, sleeping in the same bed, like, random trips. So I think those memories are, like, so special. And I think for Gigi, like, always say part of being an influencer is doing, like, a daily humiliation ritual because you're just sometimes, like, out on the street holding your phone out and, like, talking to it or, like, saying the same thing again and again. 00:47:20.100 --> 00:47:33.865 Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of it is cringe, but I think because of all of the amazing opportunities that I've had through my work, like, I never even think twice about it. It's beyond worth it. Yeah. 00:47:33.865 --> 00:47:39.410 And it it once you have been doing it for a long time, like, it gets less cringe. 00:47:39.410 --> 00:47:46.690 Yeah. Yeah. For Bridget's batch, how far in advance were were the outfits planned? 00:47:46.770 --> 00:48:21.605 There were a few other content creators that were on the trip Mhmm. That are just friends of Bridgette, but then a lot of the girls that were on the trip were just her friends from childhood or from high school. And I think that was really special because when you do what we do, sometimes there's opportunities through work to do to travel or, you know, go on a fun amazing trip that's all expenses paid and that's so lucky. But if you have a regular job, that's probably unheard of. Right. 00:48:21.605 --> 00:48:29.790 So getting to take, like, all of your closest friends on this amazing unforgettable trip, it was it was everything. 00:48:29.790 --> 00:48:32.270 Did it inspire your future one? 00:48:32.670 --> 00:48:35.150 Well, I'm definitely getting married in Saint Bart's. So 00:48:35.310 --> 00:48:36.830 Okay. So you can't do the bachelor? 00:48:37.150 --> 00:48:40.750 Can't do my bachelorette trip there, but it was incredible. 00:48:41.025 --> 00:48:43.825 Yeah. So you have a wedding date, or you're just talking about it? 00:48:43.825 --> 00:48:44.785 No. I'm just talking about it. 00:48:44.785 --> 00:48:49.665 I'm not talking about it. So the fellow has no concept that he's getting married and sick guards. That would be fine. 00:48:49.665 --> 00:48:50.785 But we're planning it. 00:48:50.785 --> 00:48:52.865 We're all planning. Okay. Exactly. So 00:48:53.025 --> 00:48:54.145 That's a beautiful place. 00:48:54.890 --> 00:49:12.975 I know we only have a few seconds left. I wanna play a really quick game, like a most likely to. So you guys will be a team kind of and will be a team. And for each scenario, you can just point to whoever in your family is the most likely to do that thing, and we'll do the same. 00:49:12.975 --> 00:49:14.335 Okay. So you started out. 00:49:14.335 --> 00:49:17.055 Okay. So I'll do, a three two one point. 00:49:17.295 --> 00:49:17.695 Okay. 00:49:17.695 --> 00:49:21.775 Okay. Okay.

I don't 00:50:11.275 --> 00:50:13.115 know. Literally none of us 00:50:13.195 --> 00:50:13.915 None of us would 00:50:13.915 --> 00:50:15.355 deal with them. I would either. 00:50:15.595 --> 00:50:20.140 We're very much like If It's over. It's over. Like, they're down Exactly. To 00:50:21.100 --> 00:50:22.700 Grandma agrees with that. 00:50:22.780 --> 00:50:28.780 I'm just curious sometimes what they're up to. Not that I wanna get back with them clearly, but like, I don't know.
