00:00I mean, how often do I get what I want?

00:02Every single time.

00:04I am a law roach.

00:11So today I'm carrying my custom Birkin in,

00:15I forgot the name of the pink.

00:16Don't kill me all you Hermes assassins.

00:20What's special about it is that it has Rose Girl hardware

00:24and she matches my Celine Dion t-shirt.

00:28So I have to wear this in honor of the queen, Celine Dion.

00:31So my first item is something I don't think any of us

00:33could live without and it's basically the cell phone.

00:37My screensaver is just a M.

00:39So this M actually represents, in my mind, 100 million.

00:45That is my goal to have 100 million

00:48so that I can really, really, really retire and disappear

00:51so that you can never see or hear from me again.

00:54I also have another one.

00:57So this is funny because I'm on this phone

01:01and sometimes I can't remember how to spell things.

01:03So I'll Google how to spell things on this phone.

01:05So this is the email phone.

01:06This is the research phone.

01:07And this is also, I call this my Facebook phone

01:10because everybody who has this number are people

01:12that's on Facebook who I don't really want to talk to.

01:14I have kind of like a photographic memory

01:16so I can remember things that I see.

01:19But I take a lot of screenshots.

01:21The last thing I screenshot was this Roberto Cavalli

01:24spring summer 26 look 31

01:26because you might see that pop up for one of my clients.

01:29So I guess we want to go into like little things

01:31that are compatible with the phone.

01:33I like the one with the wire

01:34because I like to feel like I'm connected.

01:37But then when I want to not look out of date,

01:41I have the wireless.

01:43And I also have these

01:46because I feel like this is what people wear in the airport

01:49even though I don't care, but I still have them.

01:52Oh, and something else for the phone

01:55is the Meta Ray-Bans.

01:58I actually never used them yet

02:00because this is a new pair

02:01because I tend to lose these

02:02or people tend to walk away with them.

02:06I won't say steal, but these are basically readers.

02:09Really easy to style these.

02:10You just kind of like pop them on

02:12when you want to feel smart

02:14or you want to look smart or dapper

02:16or you know, it's super cool.

02:19The next thing is that I can't live without is,

02:22oh, we'll get to that.

02:25My passport because as you guys know,

02:27I am a stylist and you never know

02:30when somebody's going to call you

02:31and need you to be in another country.

02:33And so I never ever go anywhere without my passport.

02:36I've been blessed to go to around 36, 37 countries in the world.

02:42If someone calls and they have a check, I'll be there.

02:49And with the passport, what I'm also always ready for is

02:53I have dollars, euros, and pounds because I think it is very important

03:03to tip people and to have cash for tips.

03:06Before I became a stylist, I was a bartender

03:08and I lived off the kindness of others.

03:11If you didn't tip me, I would ask for it.

03:13You know, I don't think that's the proper thing to do,

03:14but I also worked at nightclubs in Chicago.

03:17And a lot of people, you know, I just kind of knew them.

03:20So, you know, if they didn't tip me, I would just nicely remind them

03:23that they didn't leave a tip.

03:24And if they still didn't leave a tip,

03:25then when they came back to the bar,

03:27they had to go to another bartender

03:29because I wasn't serving you if you wasn't tipping.

03:30I'm sorry.

03:31It doesn't hurt you to leave a few dollars

03:33for someone who gave you excellent service.

03:36I did give excellent service,

03:37but you know, I also was very cunty

03:39and you didn't leave a tip.

03:41I had to remind you.

03:43So this is the Airman's Constance wallet and ostrich.

03:48So this I have had for a long time.

03:51It was actually a gift.

03:52And I'm so surprised I haven't lost it yet.

03:55Knock on wood or...

03:57But the thing about me when I lose stuff,

03:59I don't really care.

04:01I care, especially if it's a gift.

04:02But if I lose money or something,

04:04I always think that the person who found it really needed it.

04:07And if I lost it,

04:08then I probably really didn't need it the way they do.

04:10So I don't have any vices.

04:11I don't drink a lot.

04:14I don't do drugs.

04:15I buy burkes.

04:17Kill me.

04:18What I did have in there that was really important was

04:21I wrote myself a note.

04:23Whatever day it was, the day in equal triple nines,

04:27we would add them up.

04:29And so they said that was a good day to like manifest

04:33and to write things down.

04:34So I wrote nine things that I wanted to manifest.

04:38I'll read a couple.

04:39Perfect mental health and clarity.

04:41Win a hundred million dollars in the lottery.

04:43So we'll be back to that.

04:44See how things are reoccurring.

04:46Peace and happiness for my family.

04:49Own homes in Chicago, Paris, and an island by the ocean.

04:54The rest are really personal, but I try to keep this on me

04:57at all times because I do believe that it helps you vibrate into the universe.

05:03And when that vibration is high, you are blessed with abundance.

05:06And the key to that is to be grateful and to have gratitude.

05:10So yeah, I'm so happy I was still there.

05:13Because again, I like to lose stuff.

05:15We should do beauty products.

05:16So these are my fragrances.

05:18Tom Ford, Oud Boehringer, and Bioreto Sellier.

05:22Next is this Chanel lip balm and it's called Hydra Beauty.

05:28And I just kind of discovered this very recently and I actually love it.

05:35What else do we have?

05:37Do we go through this bag and you're like,

05:38do I really just keep this stuff in here?

05:40Just kind of weird in a way.

05:42Oh, I forgot about technology.

05:44So people are going to probably laugh at me, but I don't care.

05:46Everybody always have their MacBook.

05:48And I'm like, yeah, I got a Dell now.

05:50Now what? I'm different.

05:51I don't use it often, but I am obsessed with checking my credit score.

05:55And so I have all that saved on here.

05:57I want to know what's going on with my credit.

05:58And I also want to know if you scamming vultures have penetrated

06:03any of my information and you trying to buy a house in my name.

06:06I'm going to know.

06:08Oh, I still have more beauty products.

06:10I am obsessed with having soft skin, especially feet.

06:13I don't have a partner.

06:14So I don't know who I'm playing footsies or rubbing feet with.

06:17But when I do and it happens, I'll be ready because I have Vaseline.

06:21Every black household in America has cocoa butter and has Vaseline.

06:25I don't know.

06:26It's like gingerbread.

06:26I think we think it's medicinal in a way, but

06:29and mine happens to be bedazzled.

06:33So again, luxury, darling.

06:35Let's talk about what I'm reading.

06:39So I'm currently reading Anastasia's book, Raising Brows.

06:43I love this woman.

06:45And I went to the book launch in LA and the moderator was Oprah.

06:50Oprah looked at me and she looked down and she was like,

06:53Oh my God, he's the best.

06:56I did.

06:56She said, Laurel's just in the building.

06:59And I just like, it was a, I went, I wanted to die that Oprah knew my name.

07:05Next is my own book.

07:07How to build a fashion icon.

07:09Notes on confidence from the world's only image architect.

07:12And I am the world's only image architect because I trademarked that.

07:16And if you use it, I will sue you.

07:18The title of the book, How to Build a Fashion Icon was kind of

07:22hiding the medicine in ice cream, because I wanted you to think that it was about

07:26styling tips and what looks on your body and how to use what is not.

07:30It's all about once you find your ultimate confidence that you're able to do whatever it is

07:36that you want to do.

07:37And that's what it's about.

07:39I have become a victim of the TikTok shop.

07:44Like we all have.

07:45Like I just, I held out for as long as possible,

07:47but I actually bought these glasses on the TikTok shop and then from a brand called Desi.

07:52I love an oversized frame.

07:54Look at that.

07:55You see that?

07:56And I think these were like $40.

07:58Real Testament style is to be able to mix high and low, right?

08:02You would never know.

08:03You would think this was another brand.

08:06That has two names and it was a guy and he was really successful and really handsome.

08:10But these aren't.

08:11These are from the TikTok shop.

08:15They got me too, y'all.

08:17Even though I tried to like, I'm not buying nothing from the TikTok shop.

08:20Then here we are with them on my face.

08:23To be quite honest, I'm shopping for my estate sale.

08:26So I'm shopping for when I die and you guys get a chance to buy all this stuff.

08:31Because I love estate sales and auctions.

08:32And I'm like, you know what?

08:34Buy a estate sale is going to be fucking amazing.

08:36I'm doing this for you, really.

08:37Like I'm spending all my money so I can die.

08:40So that you can have an opportunity to own all this stuff at great prices, you know?

08:44So should we get into snacks?

08:46I think gum is like the easiest snack, right?

08:49I just love the way it smells.

08:51I don't know.

08:51It's also kind of like a chic little box.

08:53Remind me of Pucci in a way.

08:55I don't know.

08:55Everything has to remind me of something fashion.

08:57Oh, wait.

08:58I forgot this.

08:59Beauty stuff.

09:00So this is my go-to.

09:02I like to moisturize at night and then wake up and kind of let it go.

09:06I think I got that from, it might have been Selma Hayek, who said that her grandmother taught her that.

09:11This company is named after me.

09:13La Roche Posse, if you didn't know that, La Roche.

09:17That's the French way I'm pronouncing my name.

09:19In case you didn't know.

09:20And back to snacks.

09:24This is my favorite snack.

09:27Ruffles, but it has to be cheddar cheese and sour cream.

09:30And this is what I like to eat with caviar.

09:32I can't have caviar in my bag because it's perishable, but it is now on my rider.

09:37Yeah, Vogan, you didn't have my rider because I didn't have caviar.

09:40I had the chips.

09:41I brought my own chips.

09:42If you've been bringing caviar, this is my favorite snack.

09:44But caviar, it has to be a caviar.

09:47The next snack that I'm looking to snack on is a beautiful boy.

09:56Rich, tall, successful.

10:00That's going to be my next snack.

10:03And the last thing is not so glamorous, but it is needed is my inhaler.

10:07I had asthma really bad when I was growing up and it kind of like went away.

10:10But this I keep, I think as more of a mental thing.

10:13Not as glamorous, but the color is kind of fab.

10:16Look at that.

10:17You know, you always got to find the beauty in everything.

10:21And I actually have a few gummy bears that kind of fell out the back.

10:27That was just in the bottom of my bag.

10:29But I will not be eating these.

10:35And there's one more thing that is the most important thing that's in my bag.

10:39What is the world?

10:43All right, now.

10:44Thank you Vogue for watching me, LawRoach.

11:00And what's in my bag.

11:06And what's in my bag.
