Transcript
00:08I'm Isadora, better known as Izzy Gets Busy, and I'm from New York.
00:14I actually live here in New Orleans now, and it's really been an incredible experience living here for a little
00:21over a year now.
00:21I'm a singer-songwriter, I'm also a visual artist, and being that I have had the opportunity to travel around
00:33the world performing with my husband,
00:36I can honestly say that New Orleans is definitely my second favorite place of any place that I've been.
00:44New York being the first, of course.
00:47My style is, I'd say, pretty eclectic.
00:51I like to switch it up a lot from very boyish, tomboy looks to feminine silhouettes,
00:58and I love patterns and just, you know, mixing it up a lot.
01:04My friends TK and Cipriana are actually coming here to New Orleans to hang out, and I'm so excited.
01:10It's going to be great.
01:14I'll try to sneak up on you.
01:16Oh!
01:17Hi!
01:18How are you?
01:19How are you doing?
01:20That's so great.
01:23You guys look so beautiful.
01:26Oh my God.
01:27It's been a long time.
01:29I know.
01:30Are you guys excited to be here?
01:32Yes.
01:33I'm happy you guys are here.
01:35I know.
01:37Yes.
01:37There's so many incredible places.
01:38So, like, this is a spot to get for a minute.
01:40It is the ultimate spot.
01:42Like, we've really gotten lucky because usually there's a line down the block, and it's not
01:46so bad today, but this is the menu.
01:49It's mainly just beignets and like coffee and cheese and coffee and cheese and stuff, but
01:55it's incredible.
01:56They're kind of like a Zeppote.
01:59Like a funnel pit.
02:00Exactly.
02:01It's mom and cheese.
02:01That's so cool.
02:02Hi!
02:03So cool.
02:05I will definitely take a first and coffee latte.
02:08What would you name first?
02:10Alexis.
02:10Alexis.
02:11I will also take an order and a hot chocolate.
02:14Okay.
02:16And...
02:17And...
02:17Hot chocolate.
02:19You're playing no games.
02:20You know how to order, girl.
02:22I'll do the same thing, except for the hot chocolate, replaced with a fresh yogurt.
02:27Yes.
02:28And a water.
02:29Oh, thank you.
02:31I'll at least have orange juice, and I'll do one order of beignets as well.
02:36And I guess just to taste the water.
02:38Okay, and would that be it for y'all?
02:39Yes, that's it.
02:40Yes, that's it.
02:43Wow, this is amazing.
02:44I'm about to have powdered sugar everywhere.
02:46I know.
02:47I was like, this is definitely not a very pretty, like, meal to eat.
02:50But I don't care.
02:50What do you have taste for today?
02:53Okay, so...
02:54Wait, is there anywhere to shop?
02:56Specifically vintage shopping?
02:58One of my favorite places is definitely Revival Outpost.
03:02Uh-huh.
03:02It's actually walking distance from here.
03:05Oh, really?
03:05They have really, really great stuff.
03:08Some of my favorite dresses are actually Revival Outpost.
03:11Like, performance style.
03:12That's cool.
03:13So is it, like, all vintage, or is there, like, designer wear instead?
03:16Yeah.
03:17It's all vintage that I know of.
03:19They have really great accessories, too.
03:21I think maybe some of the accessories, they have, like, specific designers that they can
03:24get from.
03:26But, yeah, they have, like, all these different areas.
03:29I found 90 stuff there, 50 stuff there.
03:32That's great.
03:43Maybe please have a few, um, extra plates?
03:45Yes.
03:46I'll just go in the back and actually, yeah.
03:52You all ready for this?
03:54Yes.
03:57Okay, so I guess we'll just have to create our own plates over that.
04:04You guys go first.
04:12But, yeah, as far as food, I wanted to use Muriel's, which is also really close.
04:17Um, I'm so many.
04:21Draco's has a really, really good, um, charmed royal oysters.
04:24What do you think?
04:26You like it?
04:28What do you think?
04:30I don't know how much topping I'll be doing.
04:33Because I honestly might just be eating, so.
04:35I'm just using it.
04:37Oh, wow.
04:39It's nice and hot, too.
04:43And they're not shy with powdered sugar.
04:45No, they're not.
04:45They just pile it all on.
04:46This is so weird.
04:48We're in a long night hours in the gym that I did last night.
04:51I'm working.
04:52Do it.
04:53Do it.
04:53Do it.
04:54Do it.
