Transcript

Oh. Oh my good. I feel like I've always been a Bratz fan. I used to watch the Bratz movies when I was a kid. My favorite has always been Yasmin. Obviously, she has a mole and I was like, I'm worst too, so I feel like maybe that's why. I feel like I saw myself in her. I've always loved Bratz fashion, so the fact that, like, my fashion, my style best is on a Bratz doll is kind of incredible and surreal to me. All the outfits that tier Bratzies are wearing are very special to me. Three of them are my skinny dresses, and then one is my training outfit that I wear all the time. My favorite might be the training one best because like that's literally my daily fit. Oh. Okay. Oh. We've got my... Tier literally so cute. Okay.
