00:00I'm Camoralee Simmons and my life is just as busy as ever but in spite of it
00:11all I'm keeping it fabulous. In just the last year Jamin and I had a beautiful baby
00:17boy, built our dream house in Los Angeles and I broadcast my fashion show live to
00:25Times Square for the first time in history. On a trip to London my mission
00:30became clear to take my brands and my KLS empire worldwide. It's all about taking
00:37over the world but thankfully I had the love and support from my family that
00:40make all the hard work worthwhile. There's no slowing down in the family. With my
00:48life it's move forward, move fast, and move fabulously. On this episode of Life in the
00:56Fab Lane, Aoki Lee having her eighth birthday. I want snow, black, white, fashion. Where do you
01:03want to have the party? In the sports season. I've decided to combine Aoki's birthday party
01:09with a fashion show for our kids life. We can make it exciting and fabulous and do it up.
01:14We are two days away we do not have a venue right now. It's gonna be like oh fashion show
01:18in the streets. We need to fix it. In this family you are allowed. When you're eight she's
01:25breaking your hair. When you get it done she's gonna cry. Not gonna cry. Is it
01:31smoky? I smell burn. Mama's coming. Mama's coming.
01:41As the CEO of BabyFat I design clothing, jewelry, fragrances, you name it. It's a lot of work
01:47but I've come a long way since my days walking the runway. I'm a mogul and a model and best of all I'm a mom.
01:52I'm Kamoralee Simmons and this is my life in the Fab Lane.
01:56Since the family's transitioned to the west coast things have been hectic. Moving into a new home, looking after my three kids and striving to bring my business to new heights.
02:03is a handful. But I'm embracing the LA lifestyle and I'm rolling with it baby.
02:10Priscilla. Hi Kamoralee. Hi darling. I'm on my way to New York. I'll be there tomorrow so we can discuss all the details for you.
02:17For the new kids line. No matter how much I love LA business keeps me bouncing back and forth between the coasts.
02:24Since the family's transitioned to the west coast things have been hectic.
02:26Moving into a new home, looking after my three kids and striving to bring my business to new heights is a handful.
02:32No matter how much I love LA business keeps me bouncing back and forth between the coast.
02:44Hello? baby?
02:48But want me? Plus, Ming and Ayokye are in new york visiting their dad whenever they have the chance.
02:53visiting their dad whenever they have the chance.
02:56I'm coming to New York to pick the girls up tomorrow.
02:59Can you believe Ioki's turning eight?
03:01I can't believe that.
03:02My girls are growing up too fast.
03:04Ioki turns eight in two weeks.
03:07I've been so busy lately,
03:08I haven't had a chance to think about a party.
03:10Why don't you think Ioki is my birthday?
03:12Let's have a party here.
03:14Because, babe, you're in New York
03:15and we're gonna be in LA.
03:17Well, there you go, there you go, there you go.
03:19Goodbye.
03:23Come on, guys.
03:27When I got to New York, I was so excited to see my babies.
03:30I wanted to take them somewhere fun
03:32to chat about Ioki's eighth birthday
03:35and enjoy one of our favorite mommy-daughter activities,
03:38tea party.
03:40Ooh, yummy, look at the cookies.
03:41Would you like a cookie?
03:43Uh, no, thank you.
03:44Would you like a cookie?
03:45No, thank you.
03:47Okay, Ioki, so we're gonna have a cookie.
03:49We're gonna have a cookie.
03:51We're gonna have a cookie.
03:52We're gonna have a cookie.
03:53So, tell me about what we're gonna do at your party.
03:56We're gonna have a fashion show.
03:59A fashion show?
04:01Yes, I want sparkle.
04:02I want Chanel.
04:04Chanel?
04:06Because mommy used to.
04:08Yay!
04:09I was discovered by Chanel at 13,
04:11so for one of my girls to take a passionate interest
04:14in Chanel means so much to me.
04:16And there's gonna be a dress code.
04:18A dress code.
04:19And white.
04:21And it will be in the Four Seasons.
04:23Wait a minute.
04:24Did you say the Four Seasons?
04:26Four Seasons.
04:28We'll have to see about that.
04:31We'll see what we can do.
04:32And if that's not enough, Ioki brings up the family tradition I'd hoped she'd forget about.
04:41In this family, you are allowed, when you are eight, to straighten your hair.
04:46If you'd rather not, that's okay with mother.
04:48And you would rather not, it's fine.
04:50I want my chance, mom.
04:52You're gonna cry.
04:59I am not, I am not gonna cry.
05:03It's not funny.
05:05Don't bet your money, because you might be losing that day.
05:08I'm not a cry baby.
05:09I don't know why everybody's banking on this.
05:10You're betting you're gonna lose your money.
05:12I don't think we're ready for this.
05:19This is a mess.
05:20She's gonna be trying to get married this time.
05:23I might have gotten a little misty.
05:25It's emotional for me.
05:26It was just a little .
05:28I just want you to know, if at any moment you decline, I will accept.
05:33You don't want to think about it?
05:34I'll think about it, but it's mostly a yes.
05:37Okay.
05:38But you have to hold my hand.
05:43Okay.
05:44Mwah.
05:45I love you.
05:51Hi guys.
05:52Aoki wants to celebrate her birthday in high style, baby.
05:56So, I've called in my boy, Ed Libby.
05:59He's worked with us on several parties, as well as some of my most memorable fashion shows.
06:04It's a good thing he works on both coasts as well, because it makes my life a lot easier.
06:09It's Aoki's eighth birthday.
06:11So, we would like to have a fabulous party, but we only have two weeks.
06:16I know I'm asking a lot of Ed to make all this happen, but if anyone can get this done on a short notice, it's him.
06:23Tell me what the theme for the party should be, so I can work on the ideas a little bit.
06:26Chanel.
06:27Black.
06:28White.
06:29Fashion.
06:30Fashion.
06:31And we were approached by Make-A-Wish, and you know how they grant wishes to children?
06:35There's two girls whose lifelong wish is to be in a fashion show.
06:38So, of course, they called Mwah.
06:41So, I thought, what if a component of her party could be a fashion show?
06:45Okay.
06:46Everybody knows that I have a soft spot for children and giving back.
06:49So, to be able to incorporate this charity component of Make-A-Wish with Aoki's birthday party, my baby, is heaven.
06:56And you have a little runway, and then the kids could be a part of the party.
07:00So, it's like Make-A-Wish fabulosity.
07:03And I think that we should go to the Four Seasons.
07:05Aoki mentioned the Four Seasons, and at first, I didn't take her seriously.
07:10But now that I think about it, with the Make-A-Wish girls involved, it seems like the perfect venue for this event.
07:15We have to make sure these girls have an unforgettable experience.
07:19And with Miss Aoki Lee in charge, I know they will.
07:22Aoki, you should take it away.
07:24I want White Curtains, Black Chip.
07:26Black Curtains, White Chip.
07:27It would be nice to have those balloons.
07:29On the menu, we have chocolate slatter fruit bowl served with mint and vanilla ice cream.
07:34Fancy.
07:35It's fancy.
07:36Talk about your cake.
07:37Okay, so we're going to have a white cake, white frosting.
07:40Black and white pearls.
07:41Edible.
07:42Pearls.
07:43Black lace.
07:44Edible.
07:45As you can see, Yoki is very opinionated, Ed, and she has her own ideas as to what she would like.
07:49This cake is really quite a challenge.
07:51It's very, very specific, what she wants.
07:53A cake with this level of detail really takes a long time to do.
07:56I have a big assignment now.
07:57You should know exactly what you want.
07:59Okay.
08:00It's going to be quite challenging to take all these ideas that she has and spin them
08:04into a party that's appropriate for an eight-year-old.
08:07You've done.
08:08And rock on.
08:13Hi, Kimora.
08:14Now that the birthday plans are in motion, it's time to talk business with my VP of Marketing,
08:19Kate, and my Marketing Manager, Priscilla.
08:21Hi, ladies.
08:22So where are we with our kids' line?
08:24We're ready to go.
08:25We're ready to start planning the marketing.
08:26The kids' line for Baby Fat is one of my favorites because it's fabulous and affordable.
08:31We're adding some new pieces to the collection, and I'm very excited to show the world.
08:35So aside from shooting ad campaigns, shooting kids, we really think that the right thing
08:39to do is a fashion show.
08:40Great events involve kids.
08:43Actually, I have a great idea.
08:45I just had a meeting with Ed for Aoki's birthday party, and she wants to have a party, and she
08:51wants it to be a fashion theme, and we can put it all together.
08:56It might sound like a lot to mix Aoki's party with the fashion show.
08:59However, the more I think about it, it's absolutely perfect because it's kids, fashion, and fun.
09:05It's like killing two birds with one stone.
09:07Except for Aoki's not a bird, and we don't want to kill her with a stone.
09:11So what do you need to make this happen?
09:13Venue, first and foremost.
09:15What's your vision?
09:16What's your vision?
09:17What's your vision?
09:18Vision says Aoki wanted the Four Seasons Hotel.
09:23Of course she does.
09:24And then I was approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
09:27There's two girls whose wish is to be in a fashion show.
09:30Aww.
09:31I love that.
09:32That's really special.
09:33While Kate stays in New York, Priscilla's going to come to L.A. with me to be sure that
09:37everything goes off without a hitch.
09:39So Priscilla, you should definitely be checking in with Ed.
09:42I don't want it to be some big, over-the-top extravaganza.
09:45You want it to be intimate.
09:46You want to have a little bit of press there to take pictures and make sure you have great shots
09:50of your clothes.
09:51You could tie in the Make-A-Wish kids to be in the show.
09:53Ming and Aoki could have some of their friends in the show.
09:56I think that makes it fun.
09:59Using Aoki's friends to walk the runway is certainly not the most conventional of ideas.
10:04But I think a birthday party and a fashion show is a winning combination and it's worth the risk.
10:10You ready for yoga?
10:11Whoa.
10:12He's wild.
10:13Whoa.
10:14Priscilla, about the kid models.
10:15You have it under control.
10:16If I have someone special backstage, like you.
10:17Me?
10:18Not me, Priscilla.
10:19This is your job.
10:20This is my worst fear.
10:21The Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous.
10:22The Fabulous Fabulous.
10:23We're less than two weeks away from our birthday party fashion show extravaganza.
10:24And with the girls back in L.A.
10:25I decided we're gonna do a little more fun out of it, we're gonna do fun into this fashion
10:26thing.
10:27If we could have to fight between some of the pictures as well.
10:28And if I have someone special backstage, like you.
10:30Yeah, those directions.
10:31Me?
10:32Not me, Priscilla.
10:33This is your job.
10:34This is my worst fear.
10:35We're less than two weeks away from our birthday party fashion show
10:50extravaganza and with the girls back in LA I decided we're gonna do a little
10:55shopping oh please doesn't anybody want them please we can all be alike fabulous
11:07fabulous don't let the little eight-year-old thing go to your head Yoki
11:13you're still a baby my babies are growing up way too fast I need father
11:17time to do me a favor and slow down are you excited to get your hair done yeah
11:22I'm kind of scared too when you get it done he's gonna cry I'm not gonna cry who
11:30started this tradition anyway I really can't take it I can't this is the
11:35beginning of it today it's a little blow-dry that the next day you're
11:38driving a car then the next day mom I crashed I mean tomorrow you're gonna
11:41want to tweed your eyebrows I know I promised I Yoki that she could get her
11:46hair blown out but I'm just not ready
11:58the fashion show birthday party is coming around really quickly so I need to make
12:03sure that Ed and I are on the same page our biggest concern is that the fashion
12:07show goes off without a hitch I need to make sure from my ends that the
12:11collection goes on the runway and everything looks great from a business
12:14perspective so that's where my head's gonna be at to incorporate the birthday
12:18party and the fashion show theme all together we'll do a backstage area the
12:22kids will come out this way and come down the runway from here these are like you
12:25know beautiful Chanel hat boxes with topiaries coming out of them and paper
12:28flowers and like really kind of fun and whimsical oh great and then we'll do a
12:32runway birthday party table okay so they'd actually adult front row seating for
12:36all the kids what are some of your major concerns that you have well first of all
12:40she pictures this party at the Four Seasons and I have to make sure that the
12:43Four Seasons is gonna be available to do a party and the fashion show no other
12:47options Four Seasons is really she's married to the fact that we don't have a
12:51venue locked in at this point is raising a huge red flag for me but I know Ed was
12:57everything in his power to get it all right so then I guess we just gotta
12:59communicate and just stay yeah so we need to get together with Kimora now yeah and
13:03kind of go through this whole thing and I'll get I'll do better sketches for her for that
13:06and we'll see what happens great thank you
13:15Ming and Aoki aren't the only ones growing up fast Kenzo Lee is already one
13:20next time I blink he's gonna be asking for the keys to the car so I think I need
13:25some one-on-one time with my favorite baby boy you ready for yoga say yoga and I
13:31thought we'd try something new mommy and me yoga hi how are you so we're here
13:38because we want to do things with the baby because he's one and it's like a
13:41really important time for us to bond exactly so I thought maybe baby yoga was a

15:24Here you go.
15:25Here you go.
15:26Yoga may not be canceled.
15:30We're less than a week away from the Baby Fat Kids Fashion Show Birthday Party.
15:39Hey, guys.
15:40It's time for an update, and the girls and I are excited to check out all the details.
15:44What's going on?
15:45We've met, so now we're just ready to roll ahead and put the party together.
15:49You know, we're having this event, and it's a personal, family, quaint event.
15:55But we just want to make sure that it's also serious business.
15:59Yes, this is a birthday party, but we still have to get the word out there about our kids' line.
16:04And you'll be having press there.
16:05We'd want it to be equally as fabulous and professional.
16:09But I know you know that, Priscilla.
16:12Now, Priscilla, about the kid models, you have that under control if it's Aoki's friends?
16:16I'm a little nervous about sending them down the runway.
16:18I understand that.
16:19That's a valid concern.
16:21But I know that you will make it work.
16:24I can make it work.
16:25Maybe a little coaching.
16:26You have someone special backstage.
16:27Yes!
16:28A little coaching.
16:29Someone like you.
16:30A little direction.
16:31Me?
16:32You know these kids.
16:33They know you.
16:34Oh, yeah.
16:35No.
16:36Not me, Priscilla.
16:37This is your job.
16:38I don't want to be responsible for yelling at a kids that get online, stay right here,
16:42don't move.
16:43And that is totally why I don't want to do it.
16:46You wrangle them up.
16:48I have these amateur models.
16:49I have no idea how to wrangle them.
16:51They have no idea how to walk a runway.
16:53I need her to say yes.
16:54I need your help.
16:55Mom?
16:56My friends want a professional.
16:57You're a professional.
16:58You're better than me.
16:59Aw.
17:00Okay.
17:01Okay.
17:02Perfect.
17:03What did I just say yes to?
17:06Now I'm responsible to teach his kids how to walk and corral them backstage and to keep
17:11it all together.
17:12Who's working for who here?
17:14Anything else that you need of me, Priscilla?
17:16Nothing.
17:17What else?
17:18I know that your dream venue was the Four Seasons for this and we're talking to them right
17:22now.
17:23We're still trying to negotiate something with them.
17:24What does that mean?
17:25We're still trying to negotiate?
17:26We don't have them?
17:27Well, we have quite a few dates on hold so we got to narrow in on the final date right
17:31now.
17:32What about the cake?
17:35We took all of Aoki's drawings and here is the final sketch.
17:42We took the lace pattern right out of the lookbook for Chanel and then the one on the
17:44top is actually from the couture line and then the stiletto on the top.
17:47Hello?
17:48This is not green.
17:49We live green around here, boy.
17:50Put this back.
17:51This is a very complicated cake.
17:53So you don't think we can get the cake?
17:55Uh-oh.
17:56We're working on how to get the cake.
17:59You better get it right.
18:00That's all we have to say about that.
18:02First the menu, now the cake.
18:05This has all got to come together for the charity and my baby and my business.
18:09So I met with Kimora yesterday and my main concern right now is, you know, making sure
18:17that she's happy with everything we're doing.
18:18We have a lot, a lot, a lot to do still.
18:20All right.
18:21So, you know, whatever.
18:22The kid is eight years old.
18:24She was always going to be eight years old from the time she was born.
18:26I don't know why we're planning this party at the last minute.
18:28Where do you stand with this cake?
18:30Ugh.
18:31Stand on desperate highway with this freaking cake.
18:33That's where I stand.
18:34It's a one-way street and it's not going in my direction.
18:36Since I've landed in LA, I've been struggling to find somebody to make this cake.
18:38This is one thing that I thought I'd be able to take care of a little faster than this.
18:41It's becoming, like, a really big deal at this point.
18:43Yeah.
18:44Don't like the look in your face of what's going on.
18:47The Four Seasons has a party booked and it's not ours.
18:51They've got us on standby, but I...
18:54Have you ever flown standby?
18:55You don't go anywhere.
18:56You just sit in the airport with all the losers and then the plane takes off.
18:59That's not good.
19:00We have to have a backup.
19:01Yeah.
19:02I need a beautiful, like, clean palette or something edgy like a loft.
19:05I don't know.
19:06I mean, I'll start working on it.
19:08Her Majesty is not going to be happy about this.
19:10No, she's not.
19:11And I'm going to have to be the one that tells her?
19:13Yeah.
19:14All right.
19:15Well, I'll work on the cake situation.
19:16You work on the venue situation.
19:17Okay.
19:18We'll divide and conquer and meet in the middle.
19:20Sounds good.
19:21All right.
19:22So we have to get on it then.
19:23Yep.
19:24I'm on the hunt for Aoki's birthday cake on impossibly short notice.
19:29I'm going to the vanilla bake shop now.
19:31They're one of my last hopes here.
19:32I really hope that Lady Luck is going to be on my side.
19:35Welcome to vanilla bake shop.
19:36Thanks.
19:37I'm Ed.
19:38Are we smoking on the phone?
19:39Right.
19:40How are you doing?
19:41I'm good.
19:42I'm good.
19:43It'll be better if you can help me.
19:44Okay.
19:45What are we looking at?
19:46My name is Aoki Lee Simmons.
19:47Okay.
19:48And this is the cake that we were talking about on the phone.
19:50Oh, great.
19:51It's a Chanel-themed party.
19:53And you've been recommended as the best cake people in L.A. for me to come to at this point.
19:56Oh, thank you.
19:57Because it's been quite a little bit of a challenge.
19:58Is this a design that you guys have made?
20:00Or is this something that we can play off of?
20:01This is a design.
20:02Yeah.
20:03She was very involved in the design for the cake.
20:04And this is how we interpreted it her vision.
20:06What are your thoughts on...
20:08Well, first of all, what time frame are we in?
20:10The party's in a couple days.
20:12It is.
20:13Oh, my goodness.
20:14Normally, we have, like, two to three weeks' notice on something like this.
20:18So, it would be really tough for us to fit it into our schedule.
20:21But I'm going to try to accommodate you the best that I can.
20:24Please.
20:25I'm so relieved that she said she can do it.
20:27Now, hopefully, I can focus on the rest of the party details and put this cake behind me.
20:39Hello?
20:40Ed, it's Kathleen.
20:41How are things going over there?
20:42We're getting things buttoned up.
20:43I just finally found a cake, and I think we're kind of getting in good shape.
20:45What?
20:46You sound like there's something wrong.
20:47Is there something wrong?
20:48Um, we're not getting the Four Seasons.
20:50And I have been to a million different places, and none of them are going to meet your standards.
20:54What?
20:55Oh, my God.
20:56You're kidding.
20:57What are we going to do?
20:58I'll meet you back at the house, and we'll figure something out.
21:00I'm frustrated.
21:01It's like every time I think we've got ourself all straightened out, we have another obstacle
21:05taken care of, something else happens.
21:07It's just really aggravating at this point.
21:11The venue that we were looking at fell through.
21:13What?
21:14We do not have a venue right now.
21:17Is it smoking?
21:18I smell burn.
21:19Mama's coming.
21:20Mama's coming.
21:21Mama's coming.
21:22Ah!
21:23The Fabulous Fabulous.
21:24The Fabulous Fabulous.
21:25The Fabulous Fabulous.
21:26The Fabulous Fabulous.
21:27Hi, Kimora.
21:28We are three days away from the Baby Vap Kids fashion show birthday party, and Priscilla calls
21:46me at 8 o'clock at night saying she needs to talk.
21:49This can't be good.
21:50What?
21:51I just got a call from Ed.
21:54Um, Aoki's Make-A-Wish fashion show.
21:58Yes.
21:59Yes.
22:00Unfortunately, the venue that we were looking at fell through.
22:03So, we are...
22:04What does that mean, fell through?
22:06We do not have a venue right now.
22:10Well, we can't...
22:11That's not...
22:12We don't...
22:13Yeah, we don't...
22:14Yeah.
22:15Um...
22:16No venue.
22:17No show.
22:18No show.
22:19No birthday party.
22:20This is completely unacceptable.
22:22We will find something.
22:23No, what we're gonna find something is like, and the Lord is gonna throw something from
22:27the sky.
22:28We're down to the wire.
22:29You're gonna confuse everybody.
22:30You don't have a venue.
22:31It's gonna be like, oh, fashion show in the streets.
22:33I'm feeling very bad about this.
22:36We need to fix it.
22:37I mean, it's Aoki's eighth birthday.
22:39That's a huge deal.
22:40It's the Make-A-Wish Foundation Girls fashion show.
22:44They wanted a fashion show, and that's what they're gonna get.
22:46I don't wanna disappoint anybody.
22:48Everybody needs to step up to the plate, and we need to know where we're going.
22:51We have to have a venue.
22:52Thanks.
22:53Kathleen, what the hell?
22:54I mean, this venue thing is making me absolutely crazy.
22:55I'm telling you, I really don't have any idea where we're going from here.
23:09I'm really getting nervous.
23:10Stop.
23:11What?
23:12Stop.
23:13What?
23:14Look at this place.
23:15What?
23:16Look at it.
23:17Where is your store?
23:18Open the door.
23:19What?
23:20It's perfect, Ed.
23:21Wait a minute.
23:22Where the hell are you going?
23:23Unlock the door.
23:24This is gonna sound a little bit crazy.
23:27We're putting together a birthday party fashion show.
23:29It's for Kimora Lee Simmons?
23:31It's an eighth birthday party.
23:32It's a fashion show.
23:33Uh-huh.
23:34And on top of that, it's a Make-A-Wish event.
23:36It's a Chanel-themed, black and white, very couture, and your space is perfect for it.
23:41If you would be willing to let us put a runway down the middle of the store.
23:45Ed, show them the sketch.
23:46Yes.
23:47This is perfect.
23:48The runway right down the middle.
23:49This is basically what we're doing.
23:51Oh.
23:52It matches your theme perfectly.
23:53We'll do the drape straight across the back, and the runway right down the middle with the
23:56seating around it.
23:57I can't even imagine anything would be better.
23:58Perfect.
23:59They were prepping the store for their grand opening.
24:00It wasn't packed with furniture, so they're really excited about doing this project with
24:03us.
24:04We have a venue.
24:05We do have a venue.
24:06You just were saying you had no idea what it was.
24:08Now, I just have to tell Kimora that her baby's birthday party is gonna be in a furniture
24:12store.
24:16It's two days before the event, and as of now, we don't have a venue.
24:23Ed called me this morning saying that he had an idea.
24:27This had better be good.
24:29Hi, P.
24:30You look weird.
24:31Y'all's eyes look like you're up to something.
24:33You know how you love to challenge me to come up with new and exciting things for these
24:36parties?
24:37Yes.
24:38Well, this is where we're gonna have a party.
24:40Okay.
24:41Look at this.
24:42Look at this building.
24:43White marble floors, sculpted white columns.
24:46It's an amazing European furniture designer.
24:49So it's a furniture store?
24:50It's a furniture store.
24:51It's a furniture store.
24:57What?
24:58Wait.
24:59I'm not...
25:00No.
25:01Wait.
25:02Don't panic.
25:03Don't panic.
25:04No, no, no.
25:05I'm not panicking because I'm not gonna panic.
25:06I'm not gonna panic.
25:07You guys are gonna panic.
25:08No.
25:09I'm not gonna panic.
25:10We're talking about our 8th birthday party, Make-A-Wish, my girls, my baby, 8 years old,
25:15and we wanted a fabulous space.
25:17It's a fashion show, not a furniture trade show.
25:20We cannot have a fashion show in Ikea.
25:25I'm trying to keep it together.
25:27I'm trying to be understanding.
25:29But a furniture store?
25:31Come on.
25:33I'm gonna put them in an Ed Libby environment, and they are gonna be thrilled when they walk
25:38in there, and they're not gonna know where they are.
25:40They're gonna know about fabulosity, the end.
25:44Come on.
25:45Okay.
25:46Feel me?
25:47I know.
25:48I think we need to join hands and say a prayer for me.
25:49Please, Lord Jesus, help him get all this furniture out of the store before I have to kill him!
25:54I really need you to just bring it on home like a true champ.
25:57Okay.
25:58Because this is looking a little janky.
26:00You haven't known you forever.
26:01I am sweating.
26:02I know.
26:03Just saying, we wanna be...
26:04Oh, yes.
26:05Let's order some wine.
26:06Yeah, I think that's probably a good idea.
26:07Okay.
26:08So it'll all be better, right?
26:09Yeah, it will be better.
26:10Okay.
26:11All right.
26:12Ha-ley-loo.
26:24Bye!
26:25Hey, guys.
26:26Kimora is in no way convinced that this is gonna work.
26:28So, I have to try to figure out how to transform this place now from furniture store to fashion
26:32show runway.
26:33So, we have to take some measurements and figure out how we're gonna make this place an event
26:36menu now.
26:37What time is the stage coming?
26:38Everything's coming in before seven.
26:39Is it now?
26:40Five.
26:41How far out are we coming from the wall?
26:42Because I don't want this thing to be out in the parking lot.
26:44Well, we have to account for the ramp.
26:45All right.
26:46So, what about the ramp, though?
26:47I would say we should do the stage in front of the ramp.
26:49No.
26:50No.
26:51See?
26:52No.
26:53It doesn't fit.
26:54The other thing we could do is have it span off the ramp.
26:56So, the stage comes right over.
26:57We do the steps right off it.
26:58No?
26:59No.
27:00No.
27:01And that can't change when I'm not here later.
27:02Okay.
27:03Seriously.
27:04Okay?
27:05Yes.
27:06It's fine.
27:07This isn't a traditional event venue.
27:08We basically have to take a wide open space with one bathroom and transform it into an
27:13event venue.
27:14We need a kitchen.
27:15We need a backstage for the fashion show.
27:16We have to make sure that we're not gonna have the end of the runway out in the middle
27:19of Sunset Boulevard.
27:20There's a million challenges ahead of us now.
27:21We're gonna need access to the loading dock from here to bring a chef in.
27:24We'll do the whole kitchen set up right here.
27:26He's gonna have to bring in everything.
27:27It's gonna be a hell of a day tomorrow.
27:29I better get some sleep tonight.
27:31Tonight, we're gonna have an overnight crew in here.
27:33They're gonna bring in the runway.
27:34They're gonna bring in the rentals.
27:35And hopefully, by tomorrow morning, we're gonna have something that looks like a venue.
27:3926 hours from the party will be over.
27:40Thank God for that.
27:41This was a tough one.
27:42I'll tell you that.
27:43Hi, Brian.
27:44Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us today.
27:49Oh, no problem.
27:50While Ed is getting everything ready for the big fashion show and party, today I'm taking
27:55my first look at the outfits we just got from the stylist.
27:58I'm just gonna lay them out here, and then if you could just take some great shots,
28:01and then we could...
28:02Yeah, no problems.
28:03I'm taking photos of the outfits because it helps me see the line in a different perspective.
28:08Rather than just looking at them on a rack, I want to make sure that the looks work out.
28:16Very nice.
28:17You want to take a look at these on the computer now?
28:19Great, yes.
28:20I would love to.
28:21All right.
28:22Here's one of the first ones.
28:23Oh, that's nice.
28:24I like that.
28:25That I like.
28:26The stylist did a great job.
28:27I think the combinations look great, and I have a feeling Kimora's gonna be really
28:30happy with them.
28:31Thank you, Brian.
28:32I appreciate it.
28:33Thanks.
28:34It's the big day.
28:39Ed and his team should be busy putting the finishing touches on our birthday party fashion
28:44show extravaganza.
28:45These go straight to the stage.
28:47The chairs are gonna go around the runway.
28:51I have yet to see the new venue, but I expect it to be fab.
28:54These two panels were made to stand up on the side underneath the valance.
29:00Aoki's so excited, she can hardly wait.
29:03Oh, my God.
29:04You're kidding me.
29:05And the fruit salad's gonna go right in there for the kids.
29:07Oh, my God.
29:08She's gonna love this.
29:09Awesome.
29:10First things first.
29:11It's time for the blowout.
29:12Hello.
29:13Hi.
29:14I'm Audrey.
29:15Nice to meet you.
29:17Oh, me too.
29:18This is like her first time.
29:21You have the most beautiful hair.
29:23Are you confident about what we're doing here today?
29:26Am I?
29:27Of course.
29:28Yeah.
29:29Like, have you ever done someone this young?
29:30Yeah, all the time.
29:31Like, you know not to put the heat too directly on the shaft, and we don't wanna burn it.
29:36I know what I'm doing.
29:37This woman better know what she's doing, because I don't wanna have to hurt anybody.
29:41And do you have things you can spray on the hair as you go to protect it from the heat?
29:45I don't wanna have to hurt you.
29:47Don't make Mommy jump on her.
29:50I love you.
29:52Mom.
29:53Do you want me to come hold your hand?
29:57Mama's coming.
29:58Mama's coming.
29:59Just on the kids, Mama.
30:02That's all?
30:04You want me to hold your hand?
30:06I love you.
30:07I love you too.
30:08Okay, you're still my baby.
30:09This is stressful.
30:10I'm excited about the birthday party and the fashion show.
30:13But this hair blowout thing, it just reinforces the fear that my babies are growing up too quickly.
30:19It's not too late to change your mind.
30:21Now, I'll admit, with Ming Lee, I was a little emotional.
30:25I don't think we're ready for this.
30:27Oh.
30:28But this time, I promise you, we'll be different.
30:35Oh, there we go.
30:37Is it too hot?
30:38I smell burn.
30:39Is your hair, is it smoky?
30:41It's just steam from the product.
30:43Don't you smell it?
30:44Don't you smell it?
30:45Don't you smell it?
30:46Let me know when it's over.
30:47Is it over?
30:48Oh, Yoki.
30:49This is like a dumb family tradition.
30:50I wish you had never started.
30:51Look, you're already looking so grown up.
30:52It's pretty Yoki.
30:53I'm not gonna cry.
31:06I'm not gonna cry.
31:07Oh, my God.
31:11Oh, Yoki.
31:12You were just born 2000 and little too.
31:15Oh, my God.
31:17No.
31:18Ah, I can't take it.
31:20I can't take it.
31:21Want to sleep with Mommy tonight?
31:22I feel so defeated, curling it.
31:25No, no, no, no, no.
31:26You know what?
31:27That's a lot.
31:28Can we just twirl it around our finger?
31:29I don't think you need that.
31:30Yeah.
31:31You're going to get me in trouble.
31:33Oh, my gosh.
31:35And hairspray.
31:37We don't usually do hairspray.
31:43I think that's enough of the spray, too.
31:46That's it.
31:47Hello?
31:48We don't need any more spray.
31:49That's good.
31:50That's good.
31:51I'm trying not to lose my cool.
31:53Ease up on the hairspray, Chica.
31:55Ease up.
31:56Oh, you're cute.
31:58It looks very nice.
32:04Okay.
32:07Oh.
32:08Not too much out of you.
32:16Ren, can we run the broom around, especially up there?
32:19Yeah.
32:20Thanks.
32:21It's less than an hour to go.
32:22There was a lot of challenges.
32:23But I mean, this whole party was like one of the most challenging things I've ever done
32:26for Camorra.
32:27But we're just about there.
32:31Oh, my God.
32:32Here she is.
32:33Hi.
32:34This is the Modani Furniture.
32:35Okay.
32:36Of Beverly Hills.
32:37And this is where our party's gonna be today.
32:38Okay.
32:39Her Majesty wants edgy and different.
32:41Okay.
32:42It's definitely different.
32:43It wasn't the original plan.
32:44Yeah.
32:45It's been very challenging.
32:46Ed did a great job converting this space into a chic fashion show venue, but it's a furniture
32:51store.
32:52It's, you know, not where we're used to.
32:54I have no idea how she's gonna react to this.
32:59Camorra's on her way, and we're finishing all the last minute details.
33:04The big question now is, is she gonna like it?
33:09Are you guys ready?
33:13Hey, guys.
33:15What do you think?
33:16Um...
33:17The look on her face right now means that it's either the best thing she's ever seen,
33:22or I'm gonna get put to sleep in two minutes.
33:24I have no idea which one.
33:26I'm a little nervous about some of the girls.
33:29They've never done something like this before.
33:30We need to have a little rehearsal.
33:32Oh, no fighting.
33:33I have no idea what's gonna happen.
33:35You're really scared.
33:36You're not scared?
33:37You're not scared?
33:45You're so fabulous, fabulous.
33:52When Ed told me that he was gonna transform a furniture store into a fashion show and a runway and a party, I wasn't convinced.
34:00This has to be perfect.
34:02I have a lot riding on this.
34:04My business, my baby, and the Make-A-Wish girls.
34:07What do you think?
34:09I think it's a lot.
34:13I mean, I think it looks amazing.
34:16This is crazy that you pulled all this off.
34:19I can't believe what Ed did with this space.
34:22It looks amazing.
34:31What do you think of the cake?
34:32And Aoki couldn't be happier.
34:34Edible pearls, just as requested.
34:36Happy birthday!
34:37You look great.
34:38Thank you so much.
34:40I'm really relieved.
34:41And now we can get on with the party and have a bunch of fun.
34:44How about that?
34:47Edible pearls.
34:49Amazing.
34:50The party has officially begun.
34:52My personal glam squat is backstage working on Tal and Meg by Make-A-Wish Girls.
35:00Nothing but the best, ladies.
35:02Nothing but the best.
35:03I like your faces.
35:04You look like one, too.
35:05Tall is eight years old, the same age as Aoki.
35:10She's from Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
35:12And before she became ill, she was an amateur mom.
35:15Meg is also eight, and she's from Holly Springs, North Carolina.
35:19And her favorite thing in the whole wide world is fashion.
35:23Hi.
35:24I'm Kimora.
35:25That's Aoki.
35:26Ming.
35:27Hi.
35:28Are you getting all dolled up?
35:29Yeah.
35:30Isn't it fabulous?
35:31The girls brought you a little gift.
35:32We have a line called Hello Kitty.
35:33And so they designed for you especially these little Hello Kitty necklaces.
35:36Because you're special.
35:37Okay, great.
35:38So I'm just gonna sit down here and have my little Oprah moment.
35:39So what are you looking forward to today?
35:40I can tell you wanna say something.
35:41Go right ahead.
35:42I wanna walk the runway.
35:43Are you sure you wanna walk the runway?
35:44Yeah.
35:45Okay, because once you hit that runway, you are an official ambassador of the fashion business.
35:52Are you prepared to do that?
35:53It's a big job.
35:54It's a big job.
35:55It's a big job.
35:56It's a big job.
35:57It's a big job.
35:58It's a big job.
35:59It's a big job.
36:00It's a big job.
36:01It's a big job.
36:02It's a big job.
36:03It's a big job.
36:04It's a big job.
36:05It's a big job.
36:06It's a big job.
36:07It's a big job.
36:08It's a big job.
36:09It's a big job.
36:10It's a big job.
36:11It's a big job.
36:12Can you strike a pose?
36:13Oh!
36:14Okay, good.
36:15That's what I would've done.
36:16I would've made it.
36:17Okay, your turn.
36:18From now on, it's lights, camera, action.
36:19Life in the fab lane.
36:20There you are.
36:21Do you guys think I'm crazy?
36:24I'm fabulous!
36:25Meg and Tal are two of the sweetest girls I've ever met.
36:29I'm so happy that we were able to make their dreams come true.
36:33Come on.
36:34Come on.
36:35These two little girls are gonna have a spectacular time.
36:56Okay, can I have all my little models over here, please?
36:59I need all the models.
37:01I agreed to coach our little amateur moms.
37:03If you're in the fashion show, I need you to report to the main stage.
37:07Can someone tell me why I agreed to do this again?
37:10Oh!
37:11My little models are out of control.
37:13Um, girls, all that chocolate before the fashion show might not have been such a good idea.
37:19Welcome, everybody.
37:20Welcome, everybody.
37:21I'm Mommy Fabulous.
37:22I'm Aoki's mother.
37:23You all are collectively known as Les Models.
37:24Oh, no fighting, Naomi.
37:25No fighting.
37:26I need everybody to come single file, and I want to just make sure everybody has their special runway walk.
37:40And I need attitude and flair and fabulosity.
37:43Go.
37:44Doo-doo.
37:45Doo-doo.
37:46Okay.
37:47Who's next?
37:48Meg?
37:49Doo-doo.
37:50Doo-doo.
37:51Turn around.
37:52Try to compose.
37:53Okay, very good.
37:54Tal, are you ready?
37:55Go.
37:56Doo-doo.
37:57Oh!
37:58That was very, very fabulous.
38:01Okay, who's next?
38:02Doo-doo.
38:03Doo-doo.
38:04Work it.
38:05Breathe it.
38:06Work the hat, honey.
38:07Work the hat.
38:08Woo!
38:10Doo-doo.
38:11Doo-doo.
38:12Doo-doo.
38:15You guys did a great job.
38:16Yay.
38:17I think we're ready, girls.
38:18Ladies, come here.
38:19I'm a little nervous about some of the girls.
38:20They've never done something like this before, so it's about making them feel confident and making
38:25sure that they get the job done.
38:26I'm really scared.
38:27You got scared?
38:28Girl power, woo!
38:29This is our very special fall back to school.
38:30I want one.
38:31La, la, la, la, la.
38:32Now that Yoki has his big ol' bit hot party, mom, I want one too.
38:34Whoa, whoa, whoa.
38:36One party at a time.
38:37The fabulous, fabulous.
38:40The fabulous, fabulous.
38:41The fabulous, fabulous.
38:47Party mom. I want one too. Whoa, whoa, whoa. One party at a time
38:51It's time to get ready for the show, but there's just a few cases of backstage jitters
39:18But nothing a little pep talk from Mama Kimura won't cure. You're fabulous. You're fabulous, too
39:23Because when you're around girls, it's never a competition. You always tell the next girl how beautiful she is and how happy we are to be together, right?
39:31So we always say fabulous. You're fabulous. So are you guys ready for a great show?
39:36And everyone promises me here that they love fashion. Yeah, and you're smart in school
39:42And you're polite
39:44Yeah, okay, well, then that's a model in the making. Okay, high-five
39:56A quick change into their runway looks and it's showtime
40:01Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to our fashion show
40:08I'm telling them I'm telling them this is our very special fall back to school
40:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
40:16Okay, we have to share the microphone, okay
40:18This is our very special make-a-wish fashion show featuring Tao Mosley and Meg Wassley
40:24And Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmons and friends
40:28Please give all of our kids big smiles and lots of support because they're here being
40:33Supermodels on with the show
40:35The make-a-wish girls come down the runway and I could see the looks in everybody's eyes
40:45Their families were so proud. I was so proud. It was definitely a moment
40:50These girls are working it like real supermodels should
40:53The kids clothes were so colorful. They look absolutely amazing against the black and white sex design
40:59I know that these photos are going to look nothing less than fabulous
41:07Aoki's fashion show birthday party was a huge success
41:11There was a few little snags in the beginning
41:14But Ed and my team turned things around and pulled off a fabulous event
41:19Happy 8th birthday Aoki, happy birthday
41:22Happy birthday
41:25Smile
41:26The cherry on top were the smiles of my make-a-wish girls Meg and Tal's faces
41:31Want to like a supermodel?
41:32Yes
41:33Alright now
41:34Alright
41:35Always know that we love you very much
41:37You have our back and we have yours because you're part of Team Fabulosity
41:40Just call me up when you need me and say, Antique Mora, I need you
41:44I don't want to have to fight anybody, but I will

42:01Kendo
42:01Hi Kendo
42:02Hi Kendo
42:03Kendo
42:04Hi Mo
42:05I think I had the best party ever
42:06It was nice, no? It was fun
42:07Me
42:08Did you like it?
42:09Yeah I had a lot of fun
42:10And did you like the way your cake turned out?
42:12Completely
42:13Totally
42:14Awesome
42:16Now that Yogi had this big Over the Top party, Mom guess what?
42:20I want one, too.
42:22Whoa, whoa, whoa.
42:23One party at a time.
42:24This was a very special occasion, the occasion of you turning eight.
42:28Eight with a special birthday, and eight is where you shall stay.
42:32Forever.
42:34Sorry, Mom.
42:35You can't stop the aging process.
42:37I can't stay forever, Mom, but I'll always be here for you.
42:40I want time to just stop.
42:42But like I always say, time waits for no man or woman or little girls.
42:48And so we have to make every moment count.
42:51Let's do a toast to our eighth birthday.
42:54That's the way it should be.
42:56Here's to turning eight.
42:58Congratulations.
43:00Next on Kimora Life in the Family, it has that je ne sais quoi.
43:05I'm working to make Baby Fact and KLS Design Group bigger and better, baby.
43:09I've got a ton on my plate.
43:11I know, that's how I feel.
43:13We're developing a fragrance.
43:15It's good, but is good good enough?
43:17We're going to do it ourselves.
43:18I'm going to have to move this launch date.
43:20I have new offices in L.A., and I've decided to freshen up my reception area.
43:24I'll paint it myself.
43:26It's so small.
43:27Ah!
43:28What if we had an estate sale?
43:30All your prized possessions, I will keep.
43:33Everything else has got to go.
43:35How does someone just give away all of their memories?
43:39Can I call the police?
43:41No.
43:41I feel like I'm being robbed.
43:42Well, let's listen to them.
43:44Right.
43:45Good job.
44:02Okay.
