Summary
This week Kelli kicks off a brand new series called You Know Mall? Originally titled Meet Me At The Mall but let’s be honest, that was way too long. Joining her are two of her best friends, Conversation Starters host Lex Niko and Bravo historian Samantha Bush. The three dive into their chaotic mall memories growing up and why the mall felt like the ultimate safe third place, even when it absolutely was not safe at all.
From their favorite early 2000s stores to food court rituals and the pure insanity of mall culture, this episode is packed with nostalgia, chaos, and of course a little Bravo gossip to close things out at the food court.
