00:00What are you wearing? Are you wearing scap?

00:01I'm wearing the blondes.

00:03Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04I love those scap.

00:05Yeah, scap.

00:06I really got a little bit of bottego on the feet.

00:09On the feet.

00:10The funniest thing that always happens when you and I talk is you always have snacks with you that you bring to the Met.

00:16Did you bring anything with you tonight?

00:18I did.

00:19I bought a lot of candy this time.

00:21Because it's like I was full.

00:22Last year I tried to bring the food and the candy, and then my candy wound up tasting like the food.

00:27So I said, let me try something new this year and be full, and then just bring the candy.

00:33So then that way I can continue to have a good time, keep my energy up, and not smell like food.

00:38It's so smart, and it doesn't ruin your makeup either.

00:40No, for real.

00:41Because when I get up in here and I get to eat and the food, lipstick gone.

00:45Okay, so this dress looks really big.

00:48How are you going to go to the bathroom in it?

00:50Oh, no, look, I got a hot slit this time.

01:05Damn, I didn't do that downstairs.

01:07I should have did that.

01:09Yeah, I was like.

01:11And when they say show the front of the dress, I don't really quite get that because now I got to go like this.

01:15You know what I'm saying?

01:16I hear people tell me show the front of the dress.
