  SPEAKER_02: Did any does anything like that happen?
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, not really, because I, you know, they do, and there's like a couple of second, you know, period, I guess, that they will look, but it is all real.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: I've had people um ask me, Am I really Jewish?
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: And I joked, and I said when I first went on air, because the last name is Greenstein, you would probably have people in certain areas adjusting their color on the TV.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Is she really Jewish?
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, you know, it's um, I'll tell you the thing, being on live TV, there's times, you know, what was it, bridesmaids when they got sick?
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, and they they, you know, yeah had dysfunction or whatever.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: So the best scene was in the bathroom with uh with um Melissa.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: Melissa, yeah.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Melissa uh McCarthy.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: McCarthy.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: And she's like, I can't take it! I can't take it! Okay, born out of me like Lova!
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: I love that scene.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, I know when I first started on TV, and television's different.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's live, you know.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: And we went to this class, and this legal department is telling you, you know, what do you do?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: And people would go, like, what do you do if you have to go to the bathroom?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: What do you do if you have to cough?
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: What do you do?
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I would get, I won, and I went, what can I say?
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because everything they were saying, I was going like, oh, I can't say this, I can't say that.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because you have to be careful when you're on television.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: You can't curse, right?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, there's certain words you can't say.

  SPEAKER_00: We do say well on the other.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: I talk about your buttons, I talk about your butt.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know, some people say butt buttons.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: But you can't say butt.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they didn't, but now they do, because I go, smack your butt.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: Because I literally say, when you pull on my pants, smack your butt, you can pop a quarter off of it, because that's how tight your ass gets.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: She's talking her.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.

  SPEAKER_00: And that's what people 14% spandex, you go bam!

  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: But you took control and you made it.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: I because for me and for women out there, I don't believe no one should look thrown together.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: They should look put together.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: I also believe when you get on a plane, you don't have to look like you just rolled out of bed.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: You know, put it on.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: Back in the day, they used to all get dressed up.

• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: So now I always I have my pearls on, but I wear, you know, what I call casacosy clothes, but my pants are so comfortable.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: My jeans are fabulous.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: I do these prime stretch denim jeans and contour curved jeans.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be uncomfortable.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be compressed.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: I want to be caressed.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I like that.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: I also want to be caressed.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: But it's all about lifting, not to wear a shaper.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: I will not be caught in a shaper.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_02: Well, talk to us.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'm glad you brought that up.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: That's a good point.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: Talk to us, since you're the fashion guru.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: Talk to us about fashion etiquette.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: Like what, like if somebody said, like so you're talking about the plane.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: What other fashion etiquette like advice do you give to women and to men?
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: Well, first of all, always look good.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: Look in the mirror before you walk out of the door.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: Okay?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to be overdressed, but you could put on a pair of pants and a t-shirt.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's just putting yourself together.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: I always say, no women, I have to tell my gay friends are the fabulous because they got girlfriend, do not walk out without mascara or lipstick.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: Seriously.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: Clack, clack, clack.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: And if you don't want to put the mascara on, then at least get the lashes did so you wake up looking like that.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Right, but no, always put wash your face, put on lipstick, put on a little mascara, what have you, and look great.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to be uncomfortable, and that's the beauty of my clothing line, is to be comfortable in your clothes, to put on a great little top, put on a pair of pants that you don't have to wear shaper or if you don't want to wear underwear, you're all in control and feel good.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: Because you know what?
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: Every woman knows if a woman says you look good, that's the highest compliment.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because women women girls do not like to give compliments.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: So if they turn and go, You look good, you go, thank you.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, and then you stand a little more erect and you walk out that day going, I own it.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: I own it.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: Drop the mic.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what we should do every day because life is not a dress rehearsal, live for today.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: Remember that.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's all about the attitude, too.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, attitude is everything.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: But it's a good attitude.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's not, you know, one of those attitudes.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: No cockiness, right?
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: Just like that.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling good about yourself.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: About yourself, yeah.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: And that's it, because if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anybody else.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: No, but I just want to add one more thing.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Because I definitely think the lashes and the lips are very important, but good hair will also make you look fabulous, even with nothing else.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's true.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: So that's true.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: We're in the same business and we do the same thing.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: We make people feel good about themselves.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: Totally.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: So with with your so you have models that come out.

• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: I have Crystal, who's Asian, she's Korean, and she's my petite, but she's a size medium.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because what happens is when you're on air, women look to see what they would look like.

  SPEAKER_00: So they know what Jackie looks like.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: They know what Crystal looks like.

  SPEAKER_00: Because I do not ever check luggage.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not giving the airlines any more money than what they charge for their tickets.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_03: That's a great point.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, I didn't even think to ask that question.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_02: So they're like, you could just take it out and just shake it up a little bit.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, you roll it up.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 19:01

• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: We should be so lucky.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Right, yeah.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to worry about wrinkling or crinkling or well, iron.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: No iron.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: What is an iron?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I I have no idea.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: No idea.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I do not want to know.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: Unless we're talking about a pressing iron or a hot iron, like curling iron.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, definitely you can put everything in your handbag, suitcase, whatever, and walk out the door.
