And so I work with Meredith, Cynthia, Luiyanne, 21 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.719 Gretchen and Gerty. 22 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.439 And incredible, what an incredible group. 23 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:23.200 Yeah. 24 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.879 Yeah, because you know you might not be able to 25 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.400 and I mean, let's be honest, can they really afford 26 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:29.599 the air Mes bag either? 27 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.079 I don't know. 28 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.079 It depends what you read, right, so maybe you can't 29 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.439 have their bag or you can't have you know, a butler, 30 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.159 but you can get a blowout. You can get a blowout. 31 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.280 So I felt like to kind of make democratize if 32 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.200 you will, having a beauty squad come to your house. 33 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.920 We all need it. And when people would say, well, 34 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:53.799 who is your client, I'd say, a woman with. 35 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.200 A head is my client? 36 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:56.959 Right? 37 00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.760 We all have had you know, maybe you're not going 38 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.480 to go to a premiere, but you do have your daughter. 39 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.439 Your daughter might have a prom, or you have a 40 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.080 wedding or a hot date or you know xyz, or 41 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.879 maybe it's Tuesday and you just want to blow out 42 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.560 to last year for the week. You know. But everybody 43 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.840 should have the same access. It shouldn't be something that 44 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.159 you have to live in a special zip code to have. 45 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.199 You know, so your company, you do have lots of 46 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.719 housewives that are investors. And we're talking about this because 47 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.520 this is coming out on Thursdays, which is when I 48 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.759 do my Bravo episodes. And I was like, well, this 49 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.360 is a perfect tie in to talk about it because 50 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.800 you do have these housewives that are investors, and tell 51 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.319 everybody what you're doing at Bravo Con. Okay, you guys know, 52 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.520 I'm going to Bravo Con and I went the last 53 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.919 couple of years as well, and it is they have 54 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.039 all the panels and stuff guys at Bravo cons in 55 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.360 the rooms you can go into and meet, and the photo. 56 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.120 Ops and all that, But they also have all these. 57 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.960 Booths and I'd say ninety percent of them are selling 58 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.680 housewives somehow related products. So you're going to have a 59 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.599 boot the Bravo Con for your makeup artist, But tell 60 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.719 tell every about exactly what we're doing with the selfies 61 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.680 and all that, because I think it's a great idea. 62 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.120 Okay, I have never been to Bravocon before, but the 63 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.759 complaint that I would hear from everyone is waiting in line, 64 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.439 like yes, I have to meet this one, I have 65 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.479 to do this one. So this is really a very 66 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.759 VIP perk. We only have it for the first two 67 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.000 hundred people to do it because I don't want to 68 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:33.120 overwhelm my housewife investors and I don't want it to 69 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.919 be like so quick that you don't get your selfie 70 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.000 and I don't want to line.

You know, eventually 115 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.360 she's coming and you would see this door like really 116 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.600 far away in the convention hall open and these all 117 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.199 these people around, and Shannon would be coming, you know, 118 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.560 with people all around her, people are like screaming, screaming 119 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.079 and trying to rat trying to like take pictures like 120 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.319 over the the you know security that was walking her 121 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.959 to her booth, and then she just goes and stands 122 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.759 in her booth and holds the product and people just 123 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.240 walk by and take pictures.

So I thought, but 193 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.120 she knew lu Anne and we were in town, so 194 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.440 we went to dinner with her. 195 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.840 Oh and yeah, and so all of. 196 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.360 These women, I can't say any of them that I've 197 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.159 met in person in these situations where they're being paid 198 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.600 to be there to be nice. I've never run across 199 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.759 one housewife that was like rude or like hurry or 200 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.440 this is annoying. They're always so generous with their time 201 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.399 and so nice, and they always know the best angles 202 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.399 for the selfie so that you look good too, you know, 203 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:06.840 because this. 204 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.720 Is their job, right exactly. 205 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.679 I think it's a great tell me about the lash 206 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.240 bar because my lash is always detail. 207 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.679 Okay, So Mary Payne really loves working with Bravo, and 208 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.559 I hope they send you so many streamers and things. 209 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.600 Because we're just the best. 210 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:24.519 Good luck. 211 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.159 I actually have had kind of a hard time with 212 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.799 NBC and Bravo because, yeah, to try to figure out 213 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.799 what I was going to have in my bar, and 214 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.480 you know, I am a woman business owner and this 215 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.080 isn't a huge business like this is me and I 216 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.720 have like assistance, but like you know, this isn't We're 217 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:47.919 not talking about like some huge company here. I have 218 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.639 Unilever when Johnson and Johnson does not own me, right, 219 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:58.399 I can't compete with you know, millions and millions of 220 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.720 dollars of budgets, and I know it's just not going 221 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.080 to happen. So I had to come up with something 222 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.600 and that I could I could do at our Bravo 223 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:11.720 con bar because I was told hair that was not 224 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.360 going to happen. 225 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:12.919 I can't. 226 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.120 Again, these are huge, huge, massive companies, and we were 227 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.399 saying a little bit of gossip. Bravo con makes almost 228 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.799 as much money for NBC as the Super Bowl. So 229 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.159 these are like kind of the budgets you're competing with. 230 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.960 Yeah, I could tell you from just even trying to 231 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.639 get like a high noon that costs sixteen dollars. I mean, 232 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.279 you know, everything is so expensive. 233 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.279 It's expensive, and it's very expensive to be there. So 234 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.320 they were saying, you know, well, what are you going 235 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.039 to sell in your booth or what are you going 236 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.440 to do in your booth? And I had to come 237 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.879 up with something, and I said, really on the spot, 238 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.279 I said, well, well that's where we're going to have 239 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:55.080 a lash bar and that's where we're launching Viva lash Vegas. 240 00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:00.399 I'm like, I didn't have any lashes. So though I 241 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.000 didn't have any lashes, so I said Viva lash Vegas. 242 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.840 And then I thought, well, for people that don't want 243 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.080 to have these like really glamor Vegas eyes, I need 244 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.159 to come up with something else. So what I have 245 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.919 on right now is I have on the C suite 246 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.799 s E E S W E E T. And the 247 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.960 C suite is like for the day for zooms. You know, 248 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.559 if you don't necessarily need want to look like a 249 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.879 show girl, you know, the office nine to five, but 250 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.679 you want to look a little more awake, then that's 251 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.639 the c suite. So we have a night lash and 252 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.600 we have a day lash, and then we have our 253 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:39.480 very talented makeup artists, a lot of them. A lot 254 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.759 of our makeup artists, by the way, especially the girls 255 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.559 in our booth. One hundred percent of the girls in 256 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.559 our booth, I can tell you have worked on almost 257 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.639 all of the Housewives. So they're ones doing the smoky 258 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:54.159 eyes with our director, Rivyan Summers, who is amazing. So 259 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.360 that is that's what That's kind of the the backdrop, 260 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.840 you know, for our booth, and it's going to be 261 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.519 fun and. 262 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:03.600 So that is you can just come to that booth 263 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.960 and do that. And that has nothing to do with 264 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.200 the selfiesse that's like a special thing that you. 265 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:09.960 Have to know about. Actually, yes, you have to know 266 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.120 about that. To the hair makeup. 267 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.039 Yeah, And. 268 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.879 Are all of our stylists are they're interviewed, their audition 269 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.240 in their background checked. I've been working on this company 270 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.600 and staffing this company for two years. We really are 271 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.039 in every major city. If by some weird champs we're 272 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.519 not in your I would say we are within ten 273 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.919 miles of every major city.

Please don't hear this 277 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.879 podcast and then book it in one hour if you 278 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.639 live four hours outside of somewhere in North Dakota, because 279 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.200 that's gonna be hard. But you know what I'm saying, 280 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.240 we can work with you here. And I had the idea. 281 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.720 So I was telling Mary Payne that I have spent 282 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.879 some time in the South because my idea when I 283 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.200 was launching this this website. So it's a website Ring 284 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.039 my Bell and Bell is like Southern Bell with the 285 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.639 E at the end. Ring my Bell dot com and 286 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.279 we have an act on the app store rober So 287 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.480 it's like Uber but instead of a car, you know, 288 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.679 you get your stylist, your makeup art nice or your 289 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.799 spray tanner. And my genius idea was, I am going 290 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.200 to go and I'm going to really test this in 291 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.200 a small market. I'm going to go and test it 292 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.720 in Charleston, South Carolina. I had been living in LA 293 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.399 for twenty six years. The crime was not getting better 294 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.240 here and I needed a break. So I went down 295 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.720 to Charleston and I said, you know what, this is 296 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.039 like the number one or number two spot for people 297 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:52.879 to get married in America, many bachelorette parties. And I 298 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.840 was Sash, I'm going to do my beta testing here. 299 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.240 I'm going to live here. I'm going to make a killing. 300 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.360 It's going to be amazing. I've made friends with like 301 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.120 everybody that's on Southern Charm, so I love them too, 302 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.440 and they're all clients, so that's great. So here I 303 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.159 am with this new business and I launched my business 304 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.480 only to find out my business is illegal in South Carolina. 305 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.320 In Charleston. 306 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.240 Yeah, so I was like, wait, what year is it? 307 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.559 So the law was. 308 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.320 And I was able to change it for makeup artists, 309 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.799 I wasn't able to change it for hairdressers. So we 310 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.320 operate illegal. I'm like my or landscape. I have an 311 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.480 illegal business in Charleston. But I've put so much like 312 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.600 pressure on them. We were in People magazine and national 313 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:38.720 news and everything that they kind of have laid off 314 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.440 a little bit. But I was shocked to find out 315 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:47.039 that if you're a cosmatologist, I a woman, and you 316 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:52.320 work outside of brick and mortar salon in South Carolina, 317 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.360 you can lose your license. However, if you are a barber, 318 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.440 I e a man. You can work wherever you want 319 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.399 and that's fine. 320 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.000 Okay. So like Madison on Southern Charm. 321 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.600 Is a hairstylist. But so she goes to Patricia's house 322 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.559 sometimes and does her hair. You're saying she could lose 323 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.480 her license over that. 324 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.919 She Yeah, that's illegal. So I don't think Patricia's I 325 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.879 don't know that Patricia's paying her. And also I was 326 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.440 trying to kind of shame South Carolina with my People 327 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.279 magazine article. So People Magazine did a big article that 328 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.960 said beauty app founder goes to change sexist South Carolina law. 329 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.639 And I thought these men and men would go, oh god, 330 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.159 that's horrible and change, and instead they doubled down and 331 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.320 they were really mad that I called them sexist, and 332 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:44.120 it was a whole thing. So we Madison is fabulous. 333 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:49.679 And Madison told me that she gets offers all the 334 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.559 time for brides that are literally like I will pay 335 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.639 you fifteen thousand dollars to do my hair and makeup, 336 00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.919 Like my dream is for Madison to do my wedding, 337 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.120 and she turns them down because it's like she can't 338 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.119 because of who she is. 339 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.960 Yeah. 340 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.839 Wow, that's fascinating. That's fascinating. So Madison can go to 341 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.599 Patricia's house and do her hair as long as she's 342 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:17.079 not getting paid, correct, But if Patricia came to her salon, 343 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.559 then it would be fine. Like that's wild, that's a 344 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.359 crazy but I mean, hey. 345 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.039 Yeah, So so I'm back in LA now. I was 346 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.000 in Charleston for two years. I did my best fight 347 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.720 in it, but I couldn't win. So I'm back in LA. 348 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.200 But do we do They don't bother me.
