Transcript
No today is a big day for me. It is officially over seven years and 700 posts on StadtGain and here is how it all happened. I started this page in 2019. Hello. A few months later, I released my song commercial flight. That summer, I filmed my first video as my cousin. Colton. Bentley, my guy, scrabble dictionary. Is that my friend Dom? In 2020, I launched my own skin care line, which failed horribly, and I was then the first content creator to work with Laura Piana. I received my first pair of open walks at the tender age of three. While Paraglobe aged nine. That same year, Virgil Abloh started following me and I emceed his last Off White show as my character. He shares on me a la famille de Off White. What's good? In 2021, I filmed my first ever... I like the bell. I like the bell. I like the bell. I like the bell. I like the bell. I like the bell. Which was the beginning of Virality tier the Page. I was featured in Aseline's Tier Glam good, and I founded Palais Constance, my own Rose Brown.
