Speaker 1: been here before, the Peculiar Princess for an inspiring conversation
3:16
Speaker 1: about building companies, breaking barriers, and empowering individuals to embrace
3:22
Speaker 1: their unique building. So let's get into it now. Stephanie
3:26
Speaker 1: has been having a little bit of problems trying to
3:28
Speaker 1: get in of course, she's in South Carolina and I'm
3:31
Speaker 1: not sure how the weather is. I'm gonna talk to
3:34
Speaker 1: you a little bit about mineling. You know, growing up,
3:36
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to be models. They want
3:39
Speaker 1: to be the next I guess Naomi Campbell, Twiggy, Tyra
3:45
Speaker 1: Banks and that's just the name of few. But models
3:50
Speaker 1: come in all shapes and sizes. They have plus sized models,
3:54
Speaker 1: and they are breaking the runway. They are running that
3:57
Speaker 1: runway like no other beautiful, beautiful, plus sized models and
4:04
Speaker 1: they're doing their thing on the runway. Now, I know
4:07
Speaker 1: that I've been seeing lately little girls modeling, and they're cute.
4:13
Speaker 1: They're cute little kids if they're in their little Shirley
4:15
Speaker 1: Temple's shoes and their little fluffy skirts and whatnot. But
4:19
Speaker 1: what I've come across is some little girls that are
4:22
Speaker 1: in heels. They're walking the runway in heels, and they're
4:26
Speaker 1: no older than seven and eight. And I understand that,
4:29
Speaker 1: you know, little girls like wearing their parents' shoes and
4:31
Speaker 1: they play dress up, but these little girls are walking
4:34
Speaker 1: a runway. They're putting their hands on their hips, they're
4:38
Speaker 1: throwing that hand, they're moving that dress in that skirt,
4:41
Speaker 1: and they're doing their thing going down the aisle. But
4:45
Speaker 1: my question is to you, you do you think it's
4:48
Speaker 1: appropriate for these little girls to be already running that runway?
4:55
Speaker 1: Nation that thanks for joining me tonight, and yes they are.
4:59
Speaker 1: When you say yes they are, do you think that
5:01
Speaker 1: they are that it's good for them to be doing
5:04
Speaker 1: that at such an early age, or do you think
5:06
Speaker 1: that they should go at least by ten because some
5:09
Speaker 1: of them could barely walk and those heels they're pretty high.
5:13
Speaker 1: Some of them look like they're higher than the ones
5:15
Speaker 1: that I even were, and I could throw on some stilettos.
5:19
Speaker 1: But these little girls they're walking it. You know. I
5:22
Speaker 1: don't know whether this is just some kind of plaything
5:26
Speaker 1: that they're doing with these little girls or whether they're serious.
5:29
Speaker 1: But when you look at the expression on the face
5:31
Speaker 1: of these little girls, they main business. They're working that runway.
5:36
Speaker 1: They're turning those heads, they have that little attitude. They
5:39
Speaker 1: head over their shoulder and this is what they're doing. Well.
5:45
Speaker 1: My guest tonight, Stephanie Johnson, brains she has been running
5:51
Speaker 1: this runway and hers is unique and it is different
5:56
Speaker 1: in you. You really have to tune into her shows.
6:02
Speaker 1: I follow her on Facebook. She has I think she's
6:06
Speaker 1: developed the met gallant in South Carolina, and I keep
6:10
Speaker 1: saying that I'm gonna come down there to watch it.
6:13
Speaker 1: But it's her style that got me. It's not the
6:17
Speaker 1: average modeling school, nor is it the models that walk
6:25
Speaker 1: her runway. When you see her style, she puts on
6:32
Speaker 1: more than just the walk of the runway. She gives
6:34
Speaker 1: you a show. She gives you a show and you
6:37
Speaker 1: sit in her face. You see that in her hair.
6:42
Speaker 1: You know, she has these ban two knots that she
6:45
Speaker 1: has and they's so colorful, and she embodies it with
6:49
Speaker 1: a small frame and she's so beautiful. Now, I can't
6:52
Speaker 1: wait for you guys to meet and to see her
6:55
Speaker 1: and to see what I see. But her models are
6:59
Speaker 1: plus because they're walking that runway and they're working their thing.
7:05
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see yeah. Shenette says, I believe it
7:09
Speaker 1: is too soon for them to be wearing heels. Let
7:11
Speaker 1: them be little girls first. Yeah, Because just like I'm
7:14
Speaker 1: watching them and seeing these little girls walk the runway
7:18
Speaker 1: in those heels, someone else is watching them as well.
7:22
Speaker 1: So be careful with your little girls. I'm not saying
7:24
Speaker 1: that you're raising your little girls wrong. I'm not saying
7:27
Speaker 1: that you're doing the wrong thing. It may just be
7:29
Speaker 1: fun for them to do, and I get that. But
7:32
Speaker 1: I have somebody here tonight that can tell you all
7:34
Speaker 1: about working that runway. My guess, the Peculiar Princess. Hey, Sweedie,
7:41
Speaker 1: I'm so late. I was able to join us and
7:47
Speaker 1: I can see a picture, but I'm not sure if
7:49
Speaker 1: she can come up on your screen yet. But I
7:53
Speaker 1: was giving them a little bit of insight of what
7:55
Speaker 1: I know. And I'm not a professional at all. I
7:58
Speaker 1: just I love watching it. I love watching the fashion.
8:02
Speaker 1: But this woman is walking it. She is I think
8:05
Speaker 1: she's designing her clothes. She's having these model strut they
8:08
Speaker 1: stuff with her with her designs, and it's just it's
8:13
Speaker 1: just something that I've never seen before. So I'm hoping
8:16
Speaker 1: that others are paying attention because I think she's the
8:19
Speaker 1: one to watch a little bit of microphone problems. But yeah,
8:28
Speaker 1: just like I said, you know, they always said boys
8:31
Speaker 1: will be boys, and not just saying girls will be girls.
8:34
Speaker 1: But it's it's a little different. You know, boys will
8:37
Speaker 1: be boys. They play, they play rough, they do things.
8:40
Speaker 1: As a young girl, we are raised more so to
8:44
Speaker 1: be nurturis, but we're breaking barriers and I get that
8:49
Speaker 1: I understand it. But if you have a little girl,
8:52
Speaker 1: and it's just my opinion a mother of six girls
8:55
Speaker 1: and six boys, let them little girls be a little
9:00
Speaker 1: girl for as long as they can, because when they're
9:02
Speaker 1: an adult, they're an adult for the rest of their
9:05
Speaker 1: life and they can't turn that back around, no matter
9:07
Speaker 1: how much they would say, Oh, I wish I was
9:10
Speaker 1: fifteen again, or I wish I was this age again,
9:12
Speaker 1: because I'm just gonna go back to twenty five. I'm
9:14
Speaker 1: not gonna go before that because those years it wasn't
9:18
Speaker 1: that it was a struggle. It was just that I
9:20
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to high school school. I
9:23
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to all the beginnings, and
9:26
Speaker 1: I don't want to go back to all those labor pains.
9:29
Speaker 1: I think I can hear you, Hey, Stephanie, howire misprincess.
9:37
Speaker 1: I think she's off and online. I can hear you
9:41
Speaker 1: a little bit. But as I was saying, yeah, keep
9:45
Speaker 1: your little girl a little girl for as long as
9:47
Speaker 1: you can give her the tools that she needs to
9:53
Speaker 1: grow up. You know, play makeup, fine, putting on mommy's
9:59
Speaker 1: shoes on a Saturday morning, cute walking at one way
10:03
Speaker 1: with the hands on their hips. That's just my opinion.
10:11
Speaker 1: I think it's just a little bit too much for
10:14
Speaker 1: them to be at that age to be able to
10:16
Speaker 1: do things like that. You know, they got gymnastics, they
10:18
Speaker 1: got what we did when we was in school, double dutch,
10:21
Speaker 1: We played tag, We played with dolls. Shoot, I'm telling you, sho,
10:25
Speaker 1: I played with dolls fourteen years old, and I ain't
10:28
Speaker 1: see nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact,
10:29
Speaker 1: I still got some of my my baby dolls upstairs,
10:33
Speaker 1: and I tell my grandkids, don't touch them. Don't touch
10:36
Speaker 1: those dolls. Those dolls are older than you. Don't touch
10:38
Speaker 1: those dolls. Someday they may be able to either play
10:40
Speaker 1: with them or have them. But I think I was
10:43
Speaker 1: well rounded in that way of playing with dolls and
10:47
Speaker 1: well at least some part of my life of being
10:49
Speaker 1: a little girl and enjoying the things that I was
10:52
Speaker 1: able to enjoy trying to get in my sister's close. You,
10:56
Speaker 1: I wanted to be grown and with her stuff. She
10:59
Speaker 1: was a little older than me, and yeah, would sneak
11:02
Speaker 1: some of her stuff and try to wear it, and
11:05
Speaker 1: I got caught a couple of times. But I never
11:07
Speaker 1: worked outside, you know, just in the house and just
11:09
Speaker 1: having fun and that was I guess in a different
11:12
Speaker 1: era and maybe I need to catch out. But again
11:14
Speaker 1: I would just ask that, you know, ask your daughter
11:18
Speaker 1: that's something she wants to see if that's something she
11:22
Speaker 1: wants to do. Don't live your life through your daughter
11:26
Speaker 1: by having her on stage because you wanted to do
11:29
Speaker 1: or not when you were younger and you wanted to
11:31
Speaker 1: be a pageant Because when were younger and you didn't
11:34
Speaker 1: either get the opportunity or it didn't work out for you,
11:38
Speaker 1: maybe there's something that she doesn't want to do. Definitely,
11:42
Speaker 1: are you with us yet and you're still having problems
11:46
Speaker 1: coming over? Because I wanted to ask that when about
11:53
Speaker 1: her journey, you know, to she had a little bit
11:55
Speaker 1: about her journey and what inspired her to start her
11:58
Speaker 1: modeling school because she she just seems to be taking
12:02
Speaker 1: over the South. So there's a modeling school that you
12:06
Speaker 1: your young one to go to and just start off,
12:09
Speaker 1: you know. And don't get me wrong, because a lot
12:11
Speaker 1: of model on the schools start them off with poise.
12:16
Speaker 1: They do poise, and they teach them how to walk,
12:18
Speaker 1: and they teach them at they do add a lot
12:21
Speaker 1: of that to that. So I'm not just saying that.
12:24
Speaker 1: I'm not saying d On the schools are bad and
12:26
Speaker 1: not saying it's a bad choice because they do learn
12:28
Speaker 1: other things. They do learn social skills as well in
12:32
Speaker 1: the Miderling school. So don't let you know that be
12:35
Speaker 1: the focus. For Sometimes you put on the shop and
12:38
Speaker 1: that might just be a fashion and that could be it,
12:42
Speaker 1: but there's somebody dead on it that every time you
12:46
Speaker 1: turn around there on that stage being a man. There's
12:49
Speaker 1: one young lady that I'm gonna be honest, I've been
12:53
Speaker 1: following her and she she's doing a great job at it,
12:57
Speaker 1: and she looks like she's enjoying herself for the family
12:59
Speaker 1: says be very supportive. But I do still tend to
13:04
Speaker 1: learn that you know when she got started and if
13:08
Speaker 1: this is something that she wants to continue to do.
13:10
Speaker 1: But she's a beautiful young lady and she's strutting her
13:15
Speaker 1: stuff down. I see you're still trying to come in
13:18
Speaker 1: and say something. I can't hear you, but I know
13:21
Speaker 1: that you're trying to show you picture of it earlier.
13:26
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, my but I also would like for
13:29
Speaker 1: you to share what it means to be as the
13:31
Speaker 1: peculiar Princess. Now I've gotten to know the peculiar Princess
13:37
Speaker 1: last year, and I think that that name suitsa I
13:44
Speaker 1: think being called the peculiar Princess suitor because you have
13:47
Speaker 1: to follow her social media to see why she's considered
13:53
Speaker 1: a peculiar princess. H I'm and I still hear some
14:01
Speaker 1: moving around. And then I wanted to know, how did
14:03
Speaker 1: you How does she break into the modeling industry and
14:06
Speaker 1: what challenges did she face along the way. You know,
14:10
Speaker 1: breaking into the model industry is not easy, and I
14:14
Speaker 1: know there was a time that they wanted the girls
14:16
Speaker 1: to be a size zero and if they if they
14:21
Speaker 1: was a size street, they would consider true fact. And
14:24
Speaker 1: when they do that and gymnastics, and they do that
14:26
Speaker 1: in other sports where they would they would tell these
14:29
Speaker 1: girls these stays and some of them some of them
14:33
Speaker 1: from what I know of the Peculiar Futures modeling school,
14:36
Speaker 1: it's come as you are. And that's what I like
14:39
Speaker 1: so much about her program. It's coming as you are.
14:42
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what good size you are if you
14:45
Speaker 1: feel as though your ability to make it down that
14:48
Speaker 1: aisle and make it back without breaking on that because
14:50
Speaker 1: I know that's what probably something that I would do,
14:53
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to make it halfway down without asking
14:55
Speaker 1: somebody to help me walking into the levels on a
14:57
Speaker 1: regular basis that I don't know. I also wanted to
15:04
Speaker 1: find out from who or what has been her biggest
15:07
Speaker 1: influence in her career, because she's doing more than just
15:11
Speaker 1: the model. She's doing more than just having at the school.
15:17
Speaker 1: She's doing so much more. And I see your picture,
15:20
Speaker 1: here are you? Are you live with me now? She
15:28
Speaker 1: usually has so much to say and when she gets going,
15:33
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the princess she she just she'll
15:37
Speaker 1: take you there. She will definitely take you there. But
15:43
Speaker 1: what I also wanted to know was what was one
15:45
Speaker 1: defining moment in her career that shaped her to be
15:47
Speaker 1: the person who she is today. It's like I said,
15:53
Speaker 1: to get to know Stephanie, you're getting a known awesome
15:58
Speaker 1: person because she's real. She's gonna lay it out there.
16:04
Speaker 1: She's gonna tell you just how it is, and she's
16:07
Speaker 1: not gonna hold back. And I think that these young
16:10
Speaker 1: ladies that's going to her school is very lucky to
16:13
Speaker 1: have her because she's being honest with them. You know,
16:16
Speaker 1: if you're making a mistake. She's gonna let you know
16:18
Speaker 1: about it. If she's telling them, she's gonna tell you
16:22
Speaker 1: that this is not for you. Maybe come back next year.
16:25
Speaker 1: She's not gonna be I'm not gonna mention this name
16:28
Speaker 1: is black t shirt. And some people are fearful of
16:31
Speaker 1: her when they go on certain singing shows. But she's
16:35
Speaker 1: not gonna be that harsh. She do care about you,
16:39
Speaker 1: She do want you to be the best, but at
16:41
Speaker 1: that point in time, it might not be for you
16:44
Speaker 1: at that moment. But she's willing to work with your
16:47
Speaker 1: now because she's worked with some awesome young ladies and
16:51
Speaker 1: I've seen them. I've seen them work that one way.
16:55
Speaker 1: You know. To what sets her modeling the school apart
16:58
Speaker 1: from others in the industry, I think that. I think
17:03
Speaker 1: it's the authenticity from her being original, not holding back,
17:09
Speaker 1: not being afraid to take chances, and to keep going
17:15
Speaker 1: no matter what anybody says. She just keeps going. How
17:22
Speaker 1: would she help her students build confidence embrace their uniqueness
17:28
Speaker 1: by being an example? See I'm answering these questions because
17:33
Speaker 1: I think I know her well enough to know because
17:36
Speaker 1: I see these things in her by being an example,
17:42
Speaker 1: there's one picture that I have of her, and I
17:46
Speaker 1: just love that picture and I just look at it
17:48
Speaker 1: and it's a green background, and I just love that picture.
17:51
Speaker 1: But she has a picture and she has this she
17:54
Speaker 1: has this dominant face where she's standing on this I
17:59
Speaker 1: think it's like a rock or something, and it's a
18:02
Speaker 1: beautiful background. But you don't notice that background because you
18:04
Speaker 1: see her, And I think this is what she exudes
18:08
Speaker 1: when she's talking to the young ladies that's in her
18:12
Speaker 1: modeling school. And I know when I ask what age
18:16
Speaker 1: group or demographic does her school primarily focused on, I've
18:20
Speaker 1: seen them come from just about everywhere. Young, older, I'm
18:26
Speaker 1: not gonna say old, I'll say older. And are you
18:33
Speaker 1: here with me, Stephanie, Yes.
18:35
Speaker 3: Can you hear me?
18:37
Speaker 1: I can hear you, Sweedie, I can hear you. Thank
18:41
Speaker 1: you so much for I hope I've been covering you.
18:44
Speaker 4: You made me sound so good, and sometimes you need
18:50
Speaker 4: to because you are.
18:52
Speaker 1: It's a whole.
18:53
Speaker 4: Like people see the photos, they see the glamour, but
18:56
Speaker 4: it literally is work. It really is that you're putting
19:00
Speaker 4: yourself into something to get an outcome. So and just
19:05
Speaker 4: when you said I watch her, then you said I've
19:08
Speaker 4: got my favorite picture of her. It genuinely shows that
19:11
Speaker 4: you truly support and a lot of people will invite
19:15
Speaker 4: me because most of the shows are outside of South Carolina.
19:19
Speaker 4: I travel a lot and now don't have like a
19:22
Speaker 4: person in the seats, you know what I'm saying. So
19:25
Speaker 4: a lot of times people are like, Okay, well you
19:27
Speaker 4: got to sell this many tickets, and I have to
19:28
Speaker 4: let them know up front. I don't have a lot
19:31
Speaker 4: of people that travel with me like that. They would
19:33
Speaker 4: like to, but they are not able to, and so
19:36
Speaker 4: it just it made me. That was my favorite thing
19:39
Speaker 4: when you said, I sit there and I watch them,
19:43
Speaker 4: there is no age limit. I've seen them come from
19:45
Speaker 4: all walks of life that she's honest and straightforward with
19:49
Speaker 4: you because it shows that you genuinely have your own
19:53
Speaker 4: personal investment and the person that you met and connected
19:58
Speaker 4: with on this pot cast, and I love you even
20:01
Speaker 4: more for that.
20:02
Speaker 3: I think that's awesome. That's awesome.
20:05
Speaker 1: I think you're awesome. I think from the first day
20:08
Speaker 1: that I met you, I said, if it was something
20:10
Speaker 1: in the voice and the things that you were saying,
20:12
Speaker 1: and then some of your little quirky side shows, I said,
20:16
Speaker 1: one you just had me from that moment on, I
20:19
Speaker 1: said that that's that right there, that's it. But the
20:23
Speaker 1: journey with the modeling. I was watching it because I said,
20:25
Speaker 1: it is different. It's different than what I've seen. I've
20:29
Speaker 1: seen you working with your models, and I said, that's
20:32
Speaker 1: just so different. And I haven't been around a lot
20:35
Speaker 1: of individuals who have modeling schools. I know. I took
20:39
Speaker 1: my nieces to modeling school, but that was more for
20:42
Speaker 1: etiquette and everything else. But they see the modeling in there,
20:45
Speaker 1: and that was a plus. Then that was a plus.
20:47
Speaker 1: They wasn't walking in heels at that time. That was
20:51
Speaker 1: many years ago. And I understand that culture has changed
20:54
Speaker 1: and everything, but I see that you still teach them.
20:58
Speaker 1: You know that there's still little girls, they're still teenagers,
21:03
Speaker 1: and you keep that age appropriate. And that's what I
21:05
Speaker 1: like about it. Correct id it? And I said, my god.
21:10
Speaker 1: I saw when you had advertised for the little girls.
21:14
Speaker 1: I said, I wonder what she's gonna do with that.
21:16
Speaker 1: And then when I saw them come out and I
21:18
Speaker 1: saw them just in regular clothes, I said, oh my god, Yes, yes, yes,
21:24
Speaker 1: this is what I'm talking about. Yes, a thousand times. Yes,
21:28
Speaker 1: you don't see all of this big lipstick on them,
21:32
Speaker 1: not unless it's in character correct. I love it, you know,
21:36
Speaker 1: and I just I can't get enough of it. That's
21:39
Speaker 1: just that I have. And I still look at the picture.
21:41
Speaker 1: I'm not going to show it because I don't want
21:42
Speaker 1: to share nobody. But I just put it on Facebook
21:47
Speaker 1: when we spoke the first time, and I said, that's
21:50
Speaker 1: my favorite picture and I still have it. But can
21:53
Speaker 1: you can you walk us through what a typical day
21:56
Speaker 1: at your model and school looks like?
21:58
Speaker 4: Okay, I get a lot of interest in it. I
22:04
Speaker 4: God told me to start that modeling agency like four
22:07
Speaker 4: years ago, and I'm gonna tell you, Blake Dowamond, I
22:09
Speaker 4: didn't want to. I felt like I had enough on
22:11
Speaker 4: my plate. I felt like that's dealing with more people.
22:14
Speaker 4: But after I started it, the interest is still growing.
22:17
Speaker 4: I still have people that's asking, I still have people joining.
22:20
Speaker 4: But the typical day is first of all, we meet,
22:25
Speaker 4: we will come together. We will talk about upcoming shows,
22:28
Speaker 4: We'll talk about past shows, because we'll talk about things
22:31
Speaker 4: that happened that does not need to happen again. Because
22:35
Speaker 4: it's a certain level of professionalism. Even though we might
22:38
Speaker 4: consider a certain model amateur like it's our first time walking,
22:42
Speaker 4: but there are certain things that we expect out of
22:44
Speaker 4: that individual as a model. A lot of them all
22:49
Speaker 4: they need is to get their own swag. It's too
22:53
Speaker 4: many of them that are listening to other people instead
22:56
Speaker 4: of just being or becoming who they are. Meet will
23:00
Speaker 4: discuss the past shows, we'll discuss the upcoming shows, and
23:05
Speaker 4: then we'll discuss their photos. We will discuss what they
23:12
Speaker 4: think that a model is or how will model should
23:14
Speaker 4: conduct themselves and we tweaked that accordingly because a lot
23:18
Speaker 4: of them. I remember one young lady saying, well, a
23:20
Speaker 4: lot of them in the show was walking, and she
23:22
Speaker 4: showed how they were walking, and I told her, I said,
23:25
Speaker 4: that shows that you don't genuinely watch like I had
23:30
Speaker 4: watched Tyra Banks. I'm talking about episode from season to season,
23:35
Speaker 4: not even realizing that I would be doing this type
23:38
Speaker 4: of work. But I said, it shows that you don't
23:40
Speaker 4: watch because that's how some of them walk. Some of
23:43
Speaker 4: them walk with their pelvis thrust forward and their body
23:46
Speaker 4: leaned back. Everybody doesn't, but a lot of them do,
23:50
Speaker 4: I said. And when you see the different ways in
23:52
Speaker 4: the industry that different people walk, it's some that just
23:55
Speaker 4: got an industry walk, which is just a straight up walk.
23:57
Speaker 4: It's some that they got their own sway, that on swag,
23:59
Speaker 4: that personality to their walk, and that's fine too, but
24:02
Speaker 4: you cannot sit there and be like, oh, well, this
24:05
Speaker 4: walk isn't going to work. Use this walk isn't going
24:07
Speaker 4: to work because there's plenty of walks that if you
24:10
Speaker 4: just cut off the top of the person, you will
24:12
Speaker 4: still be able to identify Naomi, or you will still
24:15
Speaker 4: be able to identify tireman from out they walk. So
24:20
Speaker 4: we get them to get into becoming a model, but
24:25
Speaker 4: still being who you are. We still want that peculiarness,
24:29
Speaker 4: we still want that authenticity. We still want you being
24:31
Speaker 4: who you are, but at the same time representing yourself
24:34
Speaker 4: as the brand.
24:35
Speaker 3: Well, so that's how we begin. We come together.
24:38
Speaker 4: We speak to them one of your expectations, then we
24:41
Speaker 4: tell them our expectations, and then we have them will
24:45
Speaker 4: have runway training, will have meetings where we discuss their confidence.
24:49
Speaker 4: We will talk about hair and makeup, because a lot
24:51
Speaker 4: of times you'll have makeup already scheduled, but they don't
24:54
Speaker 4: show up for whatever reason, or they're running late. So
24:57
Speaker 4: we try to have them know just the basics, because
25:01
Speaker 4: a lot of shows they just want a neutral look.
25:05
Speaker 4: So that's a simple look with simple foundation, simple eyeshadow,
25:09
Speaker 4: nothing outstanding, so that no matter what garment you're put in,
25:13
Speaker 4: the makeup works. And then you'll have some that it's
25:15
Speaker 4: a bold look. That designer has bold garments, they want
25:20
Speaker 4: bold makeup. But that's been very, very rare that I've seen,
25:24
Speaker 4: very rare. Most of the bold looks are for photo shoots,
25:27
Speaker 4: but generally for a fashion show, it's neutral makeup. Foundation,
25:33
Speaker 4: like gold on your eyes. Some of them allow a
25:36
Speaker 4: red lip, but most of them want that brown or
25:38
Speaker 4: that nude. They don't want your face, even though your
25:42
Speaker 4: face is in it. They want that garment to stand
25:44
Speaker 4: out more than you stand out, because that's the perfect
25:50
Speaker 4: So that's the tem.
25:51
Speaker 1: They have to They have to learn how to have
25:54
Speaker 1: their own signature walk. You have one young lady who
25:57
Speaker 1: have also been following, and I've seen her. She's been
26:02
Speaker 1: with you for a few years, and I've seen her
26:06
Speaker 1: walk her very first walk. And then I looked at
26:10
Speaker 1: her again, I says, this is the same young lady.
26:12
Speaker 1: And I had to go back to look and I said,
26:15
Speaker 1: my god, look at her and she's just she's just
26:19
Speaker 1: developed so well with her walk. I would say if
26:23
Speaker 1: I knew her, and I'm gonna try to find a
26:25
Speaker 1: picture again, she has her signature.
26:28
Speaker 3: Walk, do that and because that's done it.
26:31
Speaker 4: Yes, that's exactly what I like to hear because it
26:34
Speaker 4: shows that there is growth. Because I had one photographer
26:37
Speaker 4: tell me he was like, this one she's gonna come
26:39
Speaker 4: a long way. This one, she's gonna come a long
26:40
Speaker 4: way because he's already out shooting Greenville Fashion Week, Spartanburg
26:44
Speaker 4: Fashion Week, you know, and traveling out of town. And
26:47
Speaker 4: that speaks to the agency. I tell them, regardless of
26:51
Speaker 4: you being the model, you still represent the entire brand.
26:55
Speaker 4: So that's even if we go out, if you act
26:57
Speaker 4: a certain way, it reflects back on the age. See,
27:00
Speaker 4: they're not gonna be like this model acted crazy. They're
27:02
Speaker 4: gonna be like, who is this model with? Oh, she's
27:05
Speaker 4: a peculiar princess. We don't want to work with them
27:07
Speaker 4: again because this occurred. So I always tell them to
27:10
Speaker 4: have a level of excellence and professionalism. But just you
27:14
Speaker 4: saying that makes me feel so good because that's what
27:16
Speaker 4: I look for.
27:17
Speaker 3: Are we improving? Are we advancing?
27:20
Speaker 4: Are we going forward in what we are called to do,
27:23
Speaker 4: because it's the model is unleashing your uniqueness into the universe.
27:28
Speaker 4: So if you've got that uniqueness, if you're peculiar, if
27:31
Speaker 4: you're different, it should be seen and not the fact
27:34
Speaker 4: that you're trying to make it happen. It's just the
27:36
Speaker 4: fact that you already on a riginal You already not
27:40
Speaker 4: a carbon copy. So just let the world see who
27:43
Speaker 4: you are as you walk, as you speak, because we'll
27:47
Speaker 4: train them on that too. I'll get them up spur
27:49
Speaker 4: in the moment. Speak because some of you are brand ambassadors,
27:53
Speaker 4: so you'll be asked to speak about your brand. They're
27:57
Speaker 4: modeling clothes for other people, they are going out to
28:00
Speaker 4: other events, and they're being asked to speak. So I
28:02
Speaker 4: want it well rounded. I want you to represent Pecure,
28:05
Speaker 4: your princess well. Growth is a part of that.
28:08
Speaker 1: What skills do you believe or sent you for success
28:12
Speaker 1: in the modeling world?
28:14
Speaker 4: Listen, Number one, you have got to be flexible. Oh
28:18
Speaker 4: my god, in this modling game, when you are going
28:22
Speaker 4: and you are serious, it has been shows that I
28:26
Speaker 4: have been a part of what everybody. Hundreds of models
28:29
Speaker 4: are in one conference room. I'm talking about males and
28:33
Speaker 4: talking about females and talking about adults, I'm talking about kids.
28:36
Speaker 4: And that's the dressing room. It is crowded, it is rushed,
28:40
Speaker 4: so it's a lot of people, and that's fine. It's
28:44
Speaker 4: a lot of people that are body shy, so they
28:46
Speaker 4: might have like a curtain up or whatever.
28:49
Speaker 3: But I'm trying to tell you most of them folks
28:51
Speaker 3: not looking at you.
28:52
Speaker 4: They are in there getting dressed because they're walking for
28:54
Speaker 4: five designers at the time, some of them back to back.
28:57
Speaker 4: The nah flexible, you cannot go in Oh my god,
29:02
Speaker 4: this is oh there's too many people in here. Oh
29:05
Speaker 4: it's because it's times that I've been in what seemed
29:07
Speaker 4: like a closet with thirty models and we're all getting dressed,
29:12
Speaker 4: and we're all running out and while all coming back.
29:15
Speaker 4: You have to have flexibility because it's not one or
29:18
Speaker 4: two hours Black Diamond.
29:20
Speaker 3: You the show might be.
29:21
Speaker 4: At six in the evening, but you have to be
29:23
Speaker 4: there at ten in the morning. That's hair, that's makeup,
29:27
Speaker 4: that's fittings. When you're walking for more than one person,
29:29
Speaker 4: if you're a designer and a model, then you got
29:32
Speaker 4: to get fitted and you gotta fit the models, So
29:34
Speaker 4: then you're running around for hours before the show even starts,
29:38
Speaker 4: making sure everything is lined up. So you have to
29:42
Speaker 4: be flexible. It's sometimes that models they won't show up.
29:46
Speaker 4: It's times that they'll add models to the roster. It's
29:48
Speaker 4: times that models will walk up and ask you, do
29:51
Speaker 4: you have.
29:51
Speaker 1: Anything for me? My designer dropped out.
29:54
Speaker 4: I don't have anybody to walk for, and so I
29:56
Speaker 4: always bring extra garments of all different sizes because that
29:59
Speaker 4: had happened one in one time, and I always want
30:02
Speaker 4: to be prepared now because when your designer doesn't show
30:05
Speaker 4: up and that's the only one you're walking for, then
30:07
Speaker 4: you don't put in time, you don't put in money,
30:09
Speaker 4: you're disappointed. The show produces disappointed. So I try to
30:14
Speaker 4: make it easy and be accommodating and flexible, and however
30:19
Speaker 4: I can, because girl, it's a wild house in the
30:22
Speaker 4: back behind the curtains.
30:25
Speaker 3: See is crazy.
30:29
Speaker 4: So being flexible and accommodating is necessary. It is first
30:35
Speaker 4: and foremost because you don't know what you're walking into.
30:38
Speaker 4: You don't know how much room you'll have, and then
30:40
Speaker 4: you don't know sometimes what kind of models you do.
30:43
Speaker 4: Because everything doesn't always flow smoothly. All of them don't
30:47
Speaker 4: always have good attitudes. Sometimes the designers come in they
30:51
Speaker 4: feel in titled, it's a lot going on. You have
30:54
Speaker 4: to be flexible. You have to let things run off
30:57
Speaker 4: your back by water off a ducts back. You have
30:59
Speaker 4: to be flexible. Don't accept that. Yep, that was kind
31:03
Speaker 4: of harsh, but don't take it in. Continue your work.
31:06
Speaker 4: This is your brand. You still gotta stay focused no
31:08
Speaker 4: matter what's going on around you. You still have to
31:12
Speaker 4: maintain that professionalism. It was one time I almost got
31:16
Speaker 4: told somebody always watching.
31:19
Speaker 1: Somebody's always watching it, you know, and you never know
31:22
Speaker 1: yet people don't. Yeah, this is hard to work with.
31:26
Speaker 1: Once you get that label of being hard to work with,
31:29
Speaker 1: you may stop being a model and want to be
31:31
Speaker 1: an actress. It's gonna follow you. It was gonna follow you.
31:34
Speaker 1: You you're glad you get a job at McDonald's and noose.
31:40
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm serious, it happens. You know, you
31:42
Speaker 1: really have to watch it. This is something that you're
31:45
Speaker 1: serious about and you want to be a model. Then
31:48
Speaker 1: while you at home, put your stuff all over the place,
31:51
Speaker 1: throw it all over the room, go into your closet
31:53
Speaker 1: and act like that's the space that you have, and
31:55
Speaker 1: you got to be able to manage it in the dark,
31:58
Speaker 1: priss practice it because it's going to be perfected when
32:02
Speaker 1: you get out there, because then you don't have it
32:04
Speaker 1: in your head. Well, I remember how I was doing
32:05
Speaker 1: it in the closet and whatnot, and I knew I
32:07
Speaker 1: had my stuff here and there. Sometimes you're having a
32:09
Speaker 1: pair of shoes you can and only shoes that's there
32:12
Speaker 1: besides eight and a half. Girl, you can wear eight
32:15
Speaker 1: and a half and make it down that dag on
32:17
Speaker 1: runway acting like I gotta want to pick shoes that fit.
32:21
Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am, the man take them off from you.
32:24
Speaker 1: Keep it. That is exactly right. I've watched it enough.
32:31
Speaker 4: Yes, everything is not going to be the way that
32:34
Speaker 4: you want it, but you still got to walk out
32:36
Speaker 4: there like you absolutely got it together.
32:39
Speaker 1: It's been people. This is what I've been having to
32:41
Speaker 1: deal with.
32:41
Speaker 4: But what I'm eliminating, this is one of the hardest
32:44
Speaker 4: things that's for me to deal with is when I
32:47
Speaker 4: started out. My mentor Jenna, Miss Jennifer Baker, she's out
32:51
Speaker 4: of North North Carolina. She does North Carolina Fashion Week
32:53
Speaker 4: twice a year. And I remember when I first started
32:56
Speaker 4: out I put on a dress on the model and
32:58
Speaker 4: I said, how do you like she was walking by.
33:01
Speaker 1: She stopped walking by. She looked at me.
33:02
Speaker 4: She was like, you don't ask them how they like it.
33:05
Speaker 4: She was like, you give it to them. They put
33:07
Speaker 4: it on, and that's what they walk in. You're the designer.
33:10
Speaker 4: You put it on them and they walk it. I
33:14
Speaker 4: was like, okay, you know, because I was still learning.
33:16
Speaker 4: So then I started getting to the point where they were, ugh,
33:21
Speaker 4: I don't like this. Oh I looked at it, and
33:23
Speaker 4: it showed in my pictures black Diamond. When they took
33:26
Speaker 4: the pictures, the dislike for the garment showed to where
33:29
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even share those pictures because you could see
33:32
Speaker 4: on their face that they didn't like it. So now
33:34
Speaker 4: I've become more selective. I speak with the producers that
33:38
Speaker 4: communicate with them. With this model right here, I would
33:43
Speaker 4: prefer not to dress due to an issue that had
33:46
Speaker 4: arisen where they negatively spoke on a garment, and they
33:49
Speaker 4: understand because they say, it doesn't matter if you put
33:52
Speaker 4: them in a garbage bag. They are to put that
33:55
Speaker 4: bag on and model it without.
33:58
Speaker 1: Questioning garbage bag. I'll model a garbage bag in a minute,
34:02
Speaker 1: I'll take a garbage bag of purse. Yes, and I'm
34:06
Speaker 1: model in a minute, turning yeah that bag, yes please, So.
34:15
Speaker 4: That that garbage bag, though one designer literally did one
34:18
Speaker 4: designer literally had a line of garbage bags last year, No,
34:22
Speaker 4: this year. This year in the summer, she had a
34:27
Speaker 4: garment baby that was made with freaking plastic spoons, black
34:32
Speaker 4: diamond plastic. When I tell you that thing looked good.
34:37
Speaker 4: When I tell you that model god on the runway
34:40
Speaker 4: and you can hear the spoons and she walked, I
34:44
Speaker 4: was like, oh my god. Just when talking about the
34:46
Speaker 4: creativity is some people's brains and how they take it.
34:49
Speaker 4: I can't even remember how many spoons she said it took.
34:52
Speaker 4: But that thing looked so cature when she was done
34:55
Speaker 4: with it that it's bananas that she had sewn a
34:58
Speaker 4: garment together and put the spoons on it, and it
35:03
Speaker 4: was couture and classy. And that model was tall and
35:07
Speaker 4: regal that type of thing. So I like to work
35:11
Speaker 4: with models who like, Okay, you got me a stick,
35:13
Speaker 4: let me put this stick on.
35:15
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk like.
35:16
Speaker 4: They're like, this stick is the most beautiful thing, and
35:18
Speaker 4: they just I mean, I love it, so I'm starting
35:22
Speaker 4: to be more selective when they allow me to choose. Now,
35:25
Speaker 4: if they choose, I just I work with who they
35:27
Speaker 4: give me unless they get crazy. And I have had
35:29
Speaker 4: to talk about some producers. Listen, I might not be
35:32
Speaker 4: able to work with you anymore if you continue to
35:35
Speaker 4: have this model, because it hasn't been one time, it's
35:37
Speaker 4: been multiple times that things that they've done are unsafer.
35:41
Speaker 4: And I can't continue on with that because I got
35:44
Speaker 4: a reputation and I want that to I want my
35:47
Speaker 4: name when they say my name, that they'd be like
35:49
Speaker 4: I would work with her at any time, that type
35:53
Speaker 4: of thing.
35:54
Speaker 1: I want my name to continue to remain.
35:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
35:57
Speaker 1: So I'm your door because I've been seeing some amazing
36:02
Speaker 1: things coming coming through you. I have, Man, I'm just
36:06
Speaker 1: sitting there sometimes when I don't have anything else to do,
36:09
Speaker 1: and you think it's a television sho I'm just sitting
36:11
Speaker 1: there watching because I'm just intrigued by it, saying I
36:15
Speaker 1: don't know what anybody else may feel, but that's the
36:17
Speaker 1: way I feel.
36:18
Speaker 4: You are confirmation because he I was sitting there and
36:23
Speaker 4: I always talk to God about the upcoming year and
36:27
Speaker 4: what he wants and that's what is next. I was
36:30
Speaker 4: I had to ask who could follow me and get
36:33
Speaker 4: content so that we could put together just the miniseries,
36:37
Speaker 4: just to see how it does, what they actually see,
36:40
Speaker 4: what's going on behind the scenes, what that actually get
36:43
Speaker 4: to talk to some of the producers, some of the models,
36:45
Speaker 4: and then I have some input in there along the
36:47
Speaker 4: way as well, because when I've had people who were
36:50
Speaker 4: able to come with me and assist me, when they
36:53
Speaker 4: got in that car, Flat Donald, if you can see,
36:57
Speaker 4: I didn't looked at me because it was a mother
36:59
Speaker 4: and a daughter. So when we went we were going
37:01
Speaker 4: to fit some models and a lot of shows they
37:06
Speaker 4: will allow me to style, usually over the maximum number
37:10
Speaker 4: allowed because they know that I will. So it was
37:14
Speaker 4: a lot of I mean black down. This is what
37:17
Speaker 4: they were doing MC Stephanie, MS Stephanie seventy MS Stephanie.
37:20
Speaker 4: I'm talking about like five or six people at the time.
37:22
Speaker 4: And so then we got in the car. She were like,
37:24
Speaker 4: oh my god. She was like, I almost said, Mama.
37:27
Speaker 4: She was like because I was so overwhelmed. She was like,
37:30
Speaker 4: they were just calling you from everywhere. I said, but
37:33
Speaker 4: this is what you do as my assistant. I said,
37:35
Speaker 4: if you see me working with somebody, then when they
37:38
Speaker 4: start yelling my name from all around, you'll be like,
37:40
Speaker 4: please excuse me, y'all will get with you after she's
37:44
Speaker 4: done with this model, I said, you have the authority
37:47
Speaker 4: as my sister to do that. Because she was just
37:49
Speaker 4: learning to be the assistant. I said, you let them know, y'all,
37:52
Speaker 4: she will be with you when she's done.
37:54
Speaker 1: Because they will.
37:55
Speaker 4: They will sit there ten people calling me while I'm
37:57
Speaker 4: talking to one model, like I'm able to rest all
38:00
Speaker 4: ten of you.
38:01
Speaker 1: And so she got going to return to them and say, look,
38:05
Speaker 1: she's with you a minute. What do you need? Looking
38:07
Speaker 1: over the shoulder? The other one, what do you got?
38:09
Speaker 1: Your stuff is a wat yeah.
38:11
Speaker 4: And so I've also told them, as my assistant, if
38:15
Speaker 4: you see something hanging on this wreck and it looks
38:18
Speaker 4: like that, it fits them. If I'm working with this
38:20
Speaker 4: one over here, I say, you got full authority. This
38:22
Speaker 4: looks here. Try this on, here, Try this on, I said,
38:25
Speaker 4: because your job is to help this flow smoothly. I said,
38:28
Speaker 4: you're you're just starting out as my assistant, but you've
38:31
Speaker 4: been with me, as with peculiar princes for.
38:34
Speaker 1: Over a year. You know what I'm saying, so you know.
38:36
Speaker 3: What I like.
38:37
Speaker 4: You know what I put them in. You know how
38:39
Speaker 4: I want them to look. You know what I'm looking
38:40
Speaker 4: to closed. They have to find closed.
38:43
Speaker 1: They have to know what shows together because if you're
38:46
Speaker 1: kicking up a dress and somebody doesn't have anything, here
38:50
Speaker 1: this dress to go, next, verson this dress that we'll go,
38:54
Speaker 1: you got to get it. Whoever, this person is afraid
39:00
Speaker 1: that she can't approach the models because she was on
39:03
Speaker 1: the other end. But that's it. Let us know, because yeah.
39:11
Speaker 4: That's what she has done. She has grown to what
39:13
Speaker 4: now she knows we bring them garments, seeing they already know. Okay,
39:17
Speaker 4: over here is the garments that's already been assigned. Over
39:20
Speaker 4: Here is the open garments. Put a body in it
39:23
Speaker 4: and let's go. Because she's seen the chaotic scenes that
39:26
Speaker 4: happen behind the curtain, and I was like, my baby,
39:29
Speaker 4: we don't got time. I've got this many models. Here's
39:32
Speaker 4: they names, here'sday. And they'll be like, are you protcure
39:35
Speaker 4: your prince sus Yes we are. I think I'm walking
39:37
Speaker 4: for you, okay. And then sometimes if it's just me
39:39
Speaker 4: and my Assistan's sitting there, somebody walk up. I'll be like, okay,
39:41
Speaker 4: style them. I challenge okay, style.
39:43
Speaker 1: Them, we put them in something.
39:44
Speaker 4: Let me see what you'll give them, because I need
39:47
Speaker 4: this thing to flow regardless. My name is on the brand,
39:51
Speaker 4: but the brand is a whole entity that I don't
39:53
Speaker 4: need to stop even if I were not to be there.
39:57
Speaker 4: And so it's been plenty of times where people will
39:59
Speaker 4: ask me to come to a show. I said, I'm
40:01
Speaker 4: already booked, and they will be like, well, can you
40:03
Speaker 4: send your garments? Can you send a representatives?
40:08
Speaker 3: Yes? I sure can.
40:09
Speaker 4: And I think that's that's major to be acts number one,
40:13
Speaker 4: can't be there personally, and then too to still have
40:16
Speaker 4: your brand so that you in two freaking places at
40:19
Speaker 4: one time. That standard of excellence is what I want
40:22
Speaker 4: to grow even more and.
40:24
Speaker 1: Make sure they get those pictures of the if in
40:27
Speaker 1: one place and your stuff being someplace else, and just
40:29
Speaker 1: letting it know that on these days they have to
40:32
Speaker 1: be on point. How has the modeling industry changed them
40:35
Speaker 1: to begin your career? Okay?
40:39
Speaker 4: I And this is what's sad because this is what
40:42
Speaker 4: I see. I don't see a lot of growing and excellence.
40:50
Speaker 4: I see a lot of things that just are allowed
40:53
Speaker 4: because people either want to do a show or they
40:55
Speaker 4: want to model. There's nothing wrong with that, but there
40:59
Speaker 4: is training involved. There's a certain level of excellist that's involved.
41:05
Speaker 4: Because anybody could say I'm gonna put on the show,
41:07
Speaker 4: bring in some models, bring in some designers, and put
41:10
Speaker 4: on that show. But when it's a level of excellence,
41:13
Speaker 4: it's a designer that Skipwaller. He's out of North Carolina
41:16
Speaker 4: as well. My tenuere old niece was with me when
41:20
Speaker 4: he had his first show. She was back there while
41:23
Speaker 4: I was designing. At the end, she said, that's the
41:26
Speaker 4: best show that I have ever seen.
41:29
Speaker 3: She was like, the.
41:29
Speaker 4: Show was organized. She was like the models were respectful
41:33
Speaker 4: because they were If I was speaking, they did not yell.
41:36
Speaker 4: They were waiting patiently. They would come up if they
41:39
Speaker 4: weren't walking for me, like do you have anything extra
41:41
Speaker 4: that I could wear? But it flowed so smoothly black
41:45
Speaker 4: diamond that it.
41:46
Speaker 1: Was like it wasn't work. That it wasn't I didn't
41:49
Speaker 1: have to put forth effort.
41:50
Speaker 4: It just came came fit. You saw that everybody was
41:56
Speaker 4: so good. So I see, I hate to call it
42:00
Speaker 4: a lack of excellence, but that's what it is. So
42:03
Speaker 4: that now I asked, Okay, what's your vision, what are
42:07
Speaker 4: you doing?
42:08
Speaker 3: What do you need from me?
42:10
Speaker 4: Even though God usually determines which one I do, because
42:13
Speaker 4: it was one I want to do in Florida. It
42:15
Speaker 4: was like at disney World or Disneyland or something, and
42:17
Speaker 4: he was like no, and I said, oh my God,
42:20
Speaker 4: like I really wanted to know. He said, no, you're
42:22
Speaker 4: not doing that one. Then it's something I don't want
42:25
Speaker 4: to do. And he'll be like, no, I'm gonna need
42:26
Speaker 4: you to do that one and a network will be
42:29
Speaker 4: established out of that. Even though I didn't want to go,
42:31
Speaker 4: it was reasons that he had me to go. But
42:34
Speaker 4: it is it's some things look like that, they're just
42:37
Speaker 4: thrown together. It's unprofessional, and it's not a lot of
42:43
Speaker 4: everything I want to do.
42:44
Speaker 3: I want it to be the next step. You want
42:48
Speaker 3: to go the next step?
42:51
Speaker 1: How do you address issues like diversity and inclusion in
42:55
Speaker 1: the modern world with me?
42:57
Speaker 4: Mine is all inclusive. I've been in somewhere they won't
43:01
Speaker 4: allow and that's the right. They won't allow homosexuals to walk,
43:06
Speaker 4: or transgender or anything. I don't discriminate with anybody. We
43:10
Speaker 4: style everybody. I asked that everybody respect everybody's individualness, but
43:19
Speaker 4: I expect.
43:22
Speaker 3: A level of integrity in the business.
43:27
Speaker 4: Whatever you're doing, you do, but when it comes to
43:31
Speaker 4: that business, that that business is your focus. We would
43:35
Speaker 4: travel to North Carolina, me and my assistant. We went
43:38
Speaker 4: to QT the little lady, the cashier.
43:41
Speaker 1: It was real rude.
43:42
Speaker 4: She was sitting there knowing us, like we were right
43:44
Speaker 4: in front of us. She was right in front of us,
43:46
Speaker 4: and she was serving everybody but us. And I looked
43:49
Speaker 4: at her and I just stood there and watched the cashier.
43:53
Speaker 4: And then my assistant was like, oh, she don't see us.
43:57
Speaker 4: And all I did was look at her, and I said,
43:59
Speaker 4: we're on peculiar princess business.
44:01
Speaker 3: And she was like you right.
44:03
Speaker 4: So we just sat down and waited till the lady
44:05
Speaker 4: finally acknowledged us. Now, I'm telling you, if we were
44:07
Speaker 4: going to procure your prince's business, I don't know what
44:10
Speaker 4: would a got handled. But it was I knew that
44:13
Speaker 4: I was on assignment that Stephanie could not show out
44:17
Speaker 4: because this wasn't even Stephanie. It's is the CEO of
44:20
Speaker 4: Peculiar Presses. And like you said, people are watching. Who
44:24
Speaker 4: knew who was in that store that would have seen
44:26
Speaker 4: that and eventually seen me in something else and be like, no,
44:28
Speaker 4: I remember her.
44:29
Speaker 1: She showed out on QT. But I expect them to respect.
44:32
Speaker 4: That brand to where if we're doing the show between
44:36
Speaker 4: that hours of ten and eight, that's what I expect
44:40
Speaker 4: you to your focus to be after eight o'clock, then
44:44
Speaker 4: whatever you do, that's on you.
44:46
Speaker 1: They ain't got nothing to do with me.
44:47
Speaker 4: But I expect, no matter who you are, no matter
44:50
Speaker 4: what you believe, no matter what creed, religion, gender, that
44:53
Speaker 4: my brand be respected because I respect everybody.
44:58
Speaker 3: I do, not because a lot of people will not know.
45:00
Speaker 3: I don't work there, honey.
45:02
Speaker 4: God has me in positions where I'm working with people
45:06
Speaker 4: who are of all nationalities, of all religions, and a
45:10
Speaker 4: lot of people got a lot to say about that.
45:12
Speaker 4: And I'm sitting there thinking, he told me to go
45:14
Speaker 4: out into the world. He told me to do this,
45:17
Speaker 4: so He's gonna put me with people along that path
45:20
Speaker 4: who is going to perfect and help me get what
45:22
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to take this vision. And all of them
45:25
Speaker 4: are not gonna look like me, all of them not
45:26
Speaker 4: gonna talk like me. Someone have the nuggets that I
45:29
Speaker 4: need to even go further in what I need to do.
45:33
Speaker 4: I baby, listen, I sit down and wait for God
45:36
Speaker 4: to speak to me, and then I'll work with these
45:38
Speaker 4: people and then sometime stay for a season. Some stay
45:41
Speaker 4: with me now. But I can't focus on that. What
45:44
Speaker 4: do you want me to do?
45:45
Speaker 1: So?
45:46
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, I don't.
45:46
Speaker 1: It took a while. It took a long while for
45:50
Speaker 1: us to get into this modeling world. And when the
45:57
Speaker 1: first model came through as an African mans model, the
46:02
Speaker 1: world was a buzz. What are some common misconceptions about
46:07
Speaker 1: Midland that you like to dis spout?
46:12
Speaker 4: That is easy, That is just being cute, because if
46:17
Speaker 4: you are genuinely like when he called me to model,
46:22
Speaker 4: I was the assistant designer. I mean I was assistant
46:24
Speaker 4: to custom make designer Shaniko Walker of Elegant Essential.
46:28
Speaker 3: She's in Simpsonville, but we.
46:30
Speaker 4: Went to excuse me, We went to La Fashion Week,
46:36
Speaker 4: went to Miami Fashion Week, we went to Coastal Fashion
46:39
Speaker 4: Week in Alabama. I mean, she's traveling all over and
46:43
Speaker 4: once I saw the chaos. Girl, if you could have
46:47
Speaker 4: seen it's not easy. You saw people who were there
46:52
Speaker 4: and they were practicing their walk. Okay, they had been
46:55
Speaker 4: Martin for years, but they were still over there in
46:58
Speaker 4: the mirror practicing their walk. They some of them had
47:01
Speaker 4: model coaches with them right there, no coaching them on
47:04
Speaker 4: the walks, coaching them on if a dress is too long,
47:07
Speaker 4: like I was in the show Saturday. Yeah, I was
47:12
Speaker 4: in the show Saturday. And then I realized, okay, you
47:15
Speaker 4: need coaching on when it's a long dress.
47:18
Speaker 3: It's a long train.
47:19
Speaker 4: Because I almost did the Beyonce a couple of times
47:22
Speaker 4: and my heel got caught in the hymn and I
47:25
Speaker 4: almost fell like three or four times on the runway
47:28
Speaker 4: in different dresses. And so I was like, I've got
47:30
Speaker 4: to number one. I go to YouTube, I Google, I'll
47:34
Speaker 4: watch what they say on there, and then I'll reach
47:36
Speaker 4: out to malin coaches that I know and be like,
47:39
Speaker 4: show us how to walk in a long evening gown where.
47:42
Speaker 1: You might trip over it.
47:43
Speaker 4: But yes, my heel kept getting caught in the hem
47:46
Speaker 4: of the train, and I was like, okay, you have
47:49
Speaker 4: to perfect this because I watched my walk and I
47:52
Speaker 4: could see that I was uncomfortable and I could see
47:54
Speaker 4: where my foot got caught in it. Now somebody else
47:57
Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, that walk, and I'm like, okay, yeah,
48:00
Speaker 4: that's what you see. But being there, I know I
48:02
Speaker 4: saw it. Okay, you tripped U right there? Yep, your
48:05
Speaker 4: hell got caught right there, and look at your face.
48:07
Speaker 1: You're not a lot of times they don't even know
48:08
Speaker 1: that something happened, and you can keep your composure and
48:11
Speaker 1: you know that you almost they won't know if you
48:16
Speaker 1: keep that composure.
48:18
Speaker 4: And that's what I tell them. It doesn't matter what happened.
48:21
Speaker 4: You keep walking. Like one time somebody heel broke. They
48:24
Speaker 4: kept on walking. Then when they came off, they were like, y'all,
48:26
Speaker 4: my hell. But I didn't know it until it came off.
48:28
Speaker 4: I didn't know it until it came off because they
48:30
Speaker 4: didn't say a word. But it's not easy. It's it's
48:33
Speaker 4: you are cute.
48:34
Speaker 1: The pictures are phenomenal, but it is a freaking job.
48:39
Speaker 4: It's a lot of money. Black Domina. People don't realize
48:42
Speaker 4: you put money in that. A lot of times. You
48:45
Speaker 4: gotta pay to be in the show. You gotta travel
48:47
Speaker 4: out of town, you gotta stay in the hotel. Some
48:51
Speaker 4: of them to wear their garments, you gotta pay them
48:53
Speaker 4: to where the I mean, it's a lot to put in,
48:57
Speaker 4: but once you get.
48:58
Speaker 1: In there, if if if you say a name, okay, yeah,
49:02
Speaker 1: I want her to model for me.
49:03
Speaker 4: If some shows that when you're allowed to choose the models,
49:07
Speaker 4: you better hurry up and choose because those who are
49:09
Speaker 4: established in the game, they get snatched up really quickly
49:12
Speaker 4: because they represent so well.
49:15
Speaker 1: And so that's what. What do you hope that your
49:19
Speaker 1: students take away from the experiences at your school.
49:23
Speaker 4: I want them to be fully confident in who they
49:27
Speaker 4: are becoming. Who you are, you might not be satisfied with,
49:31
Speaker 4: but who you becoming, maybe there's nothing stopping you from
49:34
Speaker 4: becoming who you're supposed to be.
49:36
Speaker 1: And so a lot of people will like, well, what
49:37
Speaker 1: if I don't know what that is?
49:39
Speaker 4: I say, baby, no, you're not listening to yourself, because
49:41
Speaker 4: when you when yourself is talking to you, like it's
49:44
Speaker 4: in my gut. When God speaking to me, it's in
49:46
Speaker 4: my gut. If something's not right, it's in my gut.
49:48
Speaker 4: If I'm at peace with something, then I know that
49:50
Speaker 4: that's right. But I can feel it in my gut.
49:52
Speaker 4: Some people are say something, they'll be like, but it's
49:55
Speaker 4: in my gut. People will sit there and say to me,
49:58
Speaker 4: something told me to But something told me too, I said,
50:02
Speaker 4: and that's the problem. You're not listening to who you are,
50:06
Speaker 4: becoming your second guessing and allowing other.
50:10
Speaker 1: People to tell you.
50:11
Speaker 4: I've talked to people and they'll be like, well, you
50:13
Speaker 4: know my family, they don't think that it's going to
50:15
Speaker 4: work out. I said, Okay, you can listen to them,
50:18
Speaker 4: or you can be who you're supposed to be because
50:20
Speaker 4: you're already modeling. So I'm still not understanding how you're
50:23
Speaker 4: not doing what you're supposed to do. If you're already modeling,
50:26
Speaker 4: you're already in shows, you're already in demand. But you're
50:29
Speaker 4: going to stop and listen to somebody to tell you
50:31
Speaker 4: that you can't do what you're already doing. That doesn't
50:33
Speaker 4: make it. That doesn't make sense.
50:35
Speaker 1: I I heard him talk about your I heard them
50:38
Speaker 1: talk about your glitzing glamor around the world on the
50:41
Speaker 1: runway for twenty twenty ride. Yeah, a little bit about that.
50:45
Speaker 1: That is just so following you. You jo though, but yes,
50:49
Speaker 1: that's what I love. Listen.
50:52
Speaker 4: I was when we first started this thing in twenty nineteen,
50:58
Speaker 4: the dressing room was not, like I said, now, not large.
51:01
Speaker 4: So one of the designers was like, y'all tell me
51:04
Speaker 4: y'all give me your feedback. And so like the dressing
51:07
Speaker 4: rooms too small, We didn't have room to do this,
51:09
Speaker 4: this and this. And then it hit me they can
51:13
Speaker 4: speak from one side of the spectrum like they're speaking
51:16
Speaker 4: as a model. Okay, I I had a meet and
51:20
Speaker 4: I said, everybody in this business that's a designer, all model,
51:25
Speaker 4: you got to put on your own show.
51:28
Speaker 1: All of you.
51:29
Speaker 4: You gotta then you. You gotta get the designers. You
51:31
Speaker 4: gotta get the models, you gotta get the vendors, you
51:34
Speaker 4: gotta do the lineup, you gotta get the dj you
51:38
Speaker 4: gotta do all of that. That changed the game because
51:42
Speaker 4: when you're on the get, you complained about a whole lot,
51:47
Speaker 4: but when you're having to put that thing together, yes,
51:50
Speaker 4: did you give this? And it was so just Senda Rogers.
51:56
Speaker 4: How birthday is in April. So every first Saturday in April,
52:02
Speaker 4: that's how she celebrates her birthday. And she has a
52:05
Speaker 4: fashion show in Georgia because I've got models from all over.
52:10
Speaker 4: I even got models they're not even in this state
52:12
Speaker 4: city with me. But when we meet, we come together
52:16
Speaker 4: on the conference call, sometimes we meet in person, but
52:19
Speaker 4: they are still included. They still get the information about
52:22
Speaker 4: shows and photo shoots and all that.
52:24
Speaker 1: But she puts on a show what's next for you
52:26
Speaker 1: and your Modeloo? Wow, I notice a lot coming up.
52:32
Speaker 1: It is any exciting projects, so plans on horising you.
52:36
Speaker 4: Already know the New York Fashion Week is coming up
52:39
Speaker 4: in February. Already they already got my roster. I've got
52:44
Speaker 4: two models from my agency that are coming with me.
52:47
Speaker 4: Then we do that again in September. So in February
52:50
Speaker 4: and September we always do New York Fashion Week, always
52:54
Speaker 4: with the same production company, Beauty is Everywhere with Renee
52:58
Speaker 4: Love Renee, and we go to New York. We said
53:02
Speaker 4: off of that, I love it, like he had told
53:03
Speaker 4: me one time, and it really touched me. And he said,
53:07
Speaker 4: I have a lot of people asking.
53:08
Speaker 1: The walk for you. And I was like, what you
53:10
Speaker 1: were like, especially plus size models and older lady.
53:14
Speaker 4: He was like, because you've got that classy look, you
53:18
Speaker 4: dress them classy, which I do.
53:19
Speaker 2: Now.
53:19
Speaker 4: I love that glitzy, classy long hit the floor gown.
53:23
Speaker 4: I love the sequence, I love the sparkles, all of that.
53:26
Speaker 4: But that impressed me because, like you said, people will
53:29
Speaker 4: watch it. I had no clue until he told me
53:31
Speaker 4: I had no clue, so but we've got that coming up.
53:35
Speaker 1: My twenty twenty five is bananas.
53:38
Speaker 4: And I've got to get with you because I still
53:40
Speaker 4: want us to have the met Gala, but I don't
53:42
Speaker 4: want to have it wherever you are. I want us
53:43
Speaker 4: to connect to evaporate. I want to tell my models
53:46
Speaker 4: were about to hit the road. But that's what I'm
53:48
Speaker 4: trying to get I'm trying to get them out of
53:50
Speaker 4: We're in a small town. Anderson is a small town,
53:53
Speaker 4: and Anderson has a small mindset. So when you speak
53:56
Speaker 4: of things, they don't believe it. But I tell people
53:59
Speaker 4: they don't have the vision that.
54:01
Speaker 1: He gave me. It wasn't to believe, it was for me.
54:03
Speaker 3: To carry out. And so that's what I do.
54:09
Speaker 1: In the air. And I know that they had one
54:11
Speaker 1: here because I've heard about it and attended. But I
54:15
Speaker 1: heard that they had one here and it said it
54:17
Speaker 1: was pretty awesome. Okay, just so many people that just
54:21
Speaker 1: came out and the things that they were wearing. I
54:23
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, yeah, that's what I was
54:25
Speaker 1: just it was it was phenomenal. You really got to
54:29
Speaker 1: connect with them because it's they would definitely love your
54:32
Speaker 1: pieces there they would love for you to be there.
54:35
Speaker 1: I think that you would bring that that thing. I
54:40
Speaker 1: think that's what that's what they need, that's what's missing.
54:44
Speaker 1: They do a great job. I'm not I'm not taking
54:46
Speaker 1: that from a great job. You're a woman. You're a
54:50
Speaker 1: woman who knows exactly who you are. Man. I hesitate
54:53
Speaker 1: to tell anybody you walk that catwalk and are prepared
54:56
Speaker 1: to walk into your greatness. What is the most significant
55:00
Speaker 1: you seen in yourself over the past years.
55:03
Speaker 4: Oh, oh, that's such a good question. I've I've learned
55:08
Speaker 4: to exercise. Like before, I was really impatient, I mean
55:13
Speaker 4: really impatient to where what I thought, that's what I said,
55:16
Speaker 4: sit down. Now, it's like we're all being cultivated. We
55:22
Speaker 4: are all you know, when you cultivate, that means okay,
55:24
Speaker 4: you gotta dig up the dirt, you gotta take out
55:26
Speaker 4: the weeds, you gotta you know, water it and all
55:28
Speaker 4: that good stuff. And it has taught me you can't
55:32
Speaker 4: say everything you think, you can't do everything you want
55:35
Speaker 4: to do the way.
55:36
Speaker 1: That you operate in this business.
55:38
Speaker 4: Because you are growing people and you are building people,
55:43
Speaker 4: that there is a way to handle everything.
55:46
Speaker 1: Everything.
55:48
Speaker 4: Because it was at New York Fashion week while I
55:50
Speaker 4: almost lost, and I remember that that was the one
55:52
Speaker 4: time because I always tell them act professionally no matter
55:55
Speaker 4: where you go, no matter what's going on, because you
55:57
Speaker 4: will encounter some things.
55:58
Speaker 1: You will encounter some people.
56:01
Speaker 4: And they had scheduled the makeup really close to the lineup,
56:07
Speaker 4: so I was walking at two, but some of the
56:10
Speaker 4: makeup was like one forty. So one of my models
56:13
Speaker 4: told another one of my models, get dressed before you
56:17
Speaker 4: go do makeup, because I asked her that way I
56:20
Speaker 4: could be ready to walk.
56:23
Speaker 1: So my model did it.
56:25
Speaker 4: The one from Greenville, and she said, can I put
56:28
Speaker 4: my dress on and put my robe on?
56:30
Speaker 1: I said, please, that way you'll be ready. The other
56:33
Speaker 1: model didn't.
56:35
Speaker 4: We walked back. After walking, she started yelling at me,
56:41
Speaker 4: and I was like in shop, like I wasn't even
56:44
Speaker 4: thinking like, and then I said, wait, first of all,
56:48
Speaker 4: I know, and then it hit me and I stopped
56:53
Speaker 4: and I just stood there because I was talking to myself,
56:56
Speaker 4: and so the girl was still going off, and then
56:58
Speaker 4: finally one of the assists sense to the production company.
57:02
Speaker 4: They said, come on, we can find you somebody else
57:04
Speaker 4: to walk for Let's see who else is walking. And
57:06
Speaker 4: then the assistant came to me and was like, it's okay,
57:10
Speaker 4: you know, and I was like, I had nothing to do.
57:12
Speaker 4: She was like, you know, we know. But the parents
57:15
Speaker 4: came to me and we accomforting me because she had
57:17
Speaker 4: already told My mom said, nobody told her. Get dressed first,
57:23
Speaker 4: and then you know, weigh your robe and cover up.
57:26
Speaker 4: But it's that type of thing. Oh Jesus, some of.
57:30
Speaker 1: Them have to leave that deepness good no matter what.
57:34
Speaker 1: They need you And you know because you see it,
57:37
Speaker 1: I know, and sometimes you could see it and then
57:41
Speaker 1: and then walk because it's just a little bit too much.
57:45
Speaker 1: You know, show the clothes, fashion the clothes. They're not
57:50
Speaker 1: worried about your arms going like that, not unless you
57:54
Speaker 1: have something that needs extra attention here. I mean that
58:00
Speaker 1: it's not your body it is because if that's the case,
58:03
Speaker 1: they can put a robot out there and let walk
58:06
Speaker 1: on down. You are gonna keep me. I'm telling I've
58:15
Speaker 1: seen it. I'm not a professional with it. I just
58:17
Speaker 1: I watch and I you know, I'm like a couch potato.
58:21
Speaker 1: I say my little things and like, oh this girl,
58:23
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have did that. Oh I see now, you know.
58:26
Speaker 1: So that's just me keeping it to myself. I'm not
