| 0:00.0 | Hey Better Babes, welcome back to the Monday Edit. This week, like every week, we're joined by our executive producer Chris. Say hi, Chris. |
| 0:07.4 | Bonjour. You look stunning, honey. We are so happy to see you. We're so happy to see you too at home. |
| 0:17.2 | So y'all, this, I'm in a hotel room. This isn't where I live. I am coming to you from Orlando, Florida. It is stunning here. Not to go completely out of order and not to give Jetset Pilates, like a huge shout out at the top of our episode. But I went to Jetset Pilates for the first time in Orlando because they, you know, TBIH don't have a, they don't have a solid core here yet. It was great. I mean, I do think I'm a solid core girly, but it was great. It was great. I loved it. And I'll do Jetset again. I just, you know what it is? I like the muscle focus. But this is a different conversation, different day, I mean to. I listened to my neurodivergence. It told me to go down that road coming back. But the point is, I'm here at Ultra Beauty World. This is like the biggest. |
| 0:58.0 | It's giving like Coachella for Alta Beauty. It's like the biggest festival that we have. We're doing like masterclasses. I saw fucking Tina Knowles in real life. Yeah, I saw Tina Knowles. Oh my God. Two day. Period. Oh my God. Yeah, I saw her in her whole, like, sacred, like, group. It was amazing. I literally yelled, go sacred. I freaked out. But I did my master class. It was great. I was so nervous. Chris, I had a clicker. It was giving TED Talk. Yeah, I did click through a presentation. |
| 1:45.6 | And it was just so hard because I had like a head mic, like a Britney mic instead of like a handheld mic. And you know how triggering that is for me? Like all I want to do is like, oh, oh my God. You got a clicker? Oh, geez. Yeah, and a clicker. So I was, and note cards. Oh, shit. fighting for my life. |
| 2:20.9 | I was trying to give you a TED Talk Me. I was trying to give you an expert. All I could think about was that clip when Brittany's going up to the airplane and turns around, or not the airplane, but those stairs. And she's like, remember when she's like, she's like, you know, for the encore? Yes, yes, yes. So that was, all I wanted to do is do that. But it was great. And I got to see so many good friends, people who I love just in the industry that I've been working with for a long time. I got to see Deepika, the founder of Livtinted, who I love. I got to see Mitchell from Made by Mitchell, who I love. I saw Matt Love's hair, who we love. Love. Like so many people from like our pretty curious era. So it really, |
| 2:17.6 | it really was super. Mitchell from Made by Mitchell, who I love. I saw Matt Love's hair, who we love. Love. |
| 2:51.5 | Like, so many people from, like, our pretty curious era. So it really, it really was super fun. And Alta, like, you know, we're at Sephora online and, like, we love Sephora. But Alta's just, like, a different vibe because there's, like, a lot more hairdressers because they have salons. So it's just, there is like a synergy for me that I have with Ulta that is just really fun. And I've really never done it to like a like a master class on that level. I really want to do it again but like longer so I can like style more hair. Like it really was like, it was quite inspiring for me. But I think part of the reason I was so inspired, Chris, is because I just got back from France. Like, oh la love, Zeus, alor, Sucle de. Literally with Michel Kuan, |
| 3:00.0 | literally Michelle Kwan, it happened. Kevin. No, it was so incredible. I'd never been to Paris for |
| 3:04.9 | that long. And it, which was only like four days, but I really want to have a neat |
| 3:09.2 | pre-love moment there. Like, I want to go for like a |
| 3:11.3 | month and like get, like, rent an apartment. |
| 3:13.2 | Like, I don't think I could take all my animals |
| 3:15.1 | logistically, but maybe Elton |
| 3:17.0 | like will come. I did |
| 3:19.2 | think Mark was going to divorce me because I would not |
| 3:21.1 | stop doing a fake French accent. |
| 3:23.7 | I'd be with you. divorce me because I would not stop doing a fake French accent. I wouldn't stop saying sacrableu. |
| 3:27.6 | He was not having it. |
| 3:29.4 | I said, that is not how you pronounce it. |
| 3:31.3 | It is actually that way. |
| 3:32.8 | And he was supposed to be. |
