Transcript

Guys, it is time. We're styling the jewelry dress for Coachella day one. As you guys previously saw, my try on went extremely, extremely horribly. So we're completely changing it up. Instead of wearing white undergarments, I'm completely changing it. We're going gold, baby. I really feel like adding the gold fringe underneath is going to help a lot because I think with the white, it was looking too bare. But this is a major trust the process moment. Look at how fun that is. Okay. I have a good feeling about this. Also, to prevent me dying in the middle of the festival from the weight of the dress, I bought tier bandages to put on my best. So we're gonna put that on. It's a Mia. I need help. Of course. I might just line my entire neck with blister bandages. But these are better than, like, using regular bandages because they're thicker. Get you a best friend who will put blister bandages on your neck. Blister bandages are on. Now it is time to put this thing on. Gonna drop the mannequin. Okay. And then we're gonna tuck this on. Oh, good. My hair is gonna go wait. Should we just hold it open? This is so heavy. Now, we connect it like this. This is already a workout. I'm like already tired to stand.
