00:00Hi Bapsters, welcome to Preview Ball 2024. I'm Rachel and tonight we're here with the stunning Miss Sweetie DeLeon.
00:10Hi, hi, hi. Thank you for having me.
00:13I'm so overwhelmed to see you in person because we don't see you a lot in the entertainment position.
00:20Yeah, it seems like a lifetime ago for me.
00:23Before I proceed with my questions, can you describe your look for tonight?
00:28My look, well first of all, this is by Ivar Aceron, a good friend of mine.
00:35And he made a dress for me according to how he sees me as a person, knowing me well.
00:43And this is exactly how I envisioned it and we were aligned in our ideas.
00:49Just clean, comfortable, easy, not complicated at all.
00:56And then how would you describe your usual go-to fashion style?
01:01That's it, I just mentioned it. I put a premium on comfort.
01:06I'd like to have the freedom to move and not to have to worry about it.
01:14I don't want to be a slave of fashion.
01:17I want it to be complementary to who I am as a mother, as a previous model, as a mom.
01:26This is the kind of fashion and aesthetic that works well for me.
01:33I think this would be announced later tonight.
01:37We're not posting this anyway ahead of time.
01:40But I would like to congratulate you for the award that you would be receiving for tonight.
01:45For being a style icon.
01:47I'm so flattered. First of all, I was shocked.
01:52I never knew I would receive such recognition at this stage in my life.
01:59Very grateful, very flattered like I said.
02:03I'm happy to be still part of fashion.
02:14Very much so, especially with Preview.
02:17Whose birth I've witnessed.
02:21You've mentioned earlier that it was ages ago when you've been active in show business.
02:31Do you miss anything from your acting days?
02:36I miss my friends from the industry.
02:39They were so much fun.
02:41I was supposed to try it out for two months but I ended up staying for six years.
02:47So that's how much I enjoyed it.
02:51Everyone I worked with, knowing that I am not a true-blooded actress.
03:00Because I was already working as a full-time model.
03:04I got a lot of support and because of that they became family.
03:08They were friends.
03:09They were there to support me.
03:12Making the atmosphere, the environment a very fun, easy, very comfortable space for me.
03:23Where I thrived.
03:25So I got to enjoy that.
03:27I miss their company.
03:29And now, what are your passion projects?
03:32I have my line.
03:34It's been around for almost 25 years I think.
03:39It started out as a different brand.
03:42It had a different name.
03:44Somewhere along the way I changed it and it's now TDLG.
03:49It's an eponymous brand.
03:52I design and manufacture jewelry, bags.
03:57I have swimsuits and home.
04:01What is the secret that even at any season of your life, you still live your life to the full?
04:09Like you explore a lot of things and you're so good at it.
04:12And being a mother at the same time, my gosh.
04:14Yes, I think I'm very grateful that I still have that passion and the energy to pursue different things.
04:24And to learn and to master it if I could.
04:28If not, at least I've tried it.
04:33It's what keeps me going.
04:35It's what gives me reason to wake up.
04:37Aside from my kids, of course, and my husband.
04:41It gets me excited to try new things.
04:44To learn new skills.
04:46And to be able to express myself creatively in different ways.
04:51Whether it's fashion, or my jewelry, or artworks, or even just gardening.
04:58Thank you so much, Ms. Tweedy.
05:00I'm super starstruck.
05:02Enjoy the night, Ms. Tweedy.
05:04Thank you so much.
05:05Congratulations.
