4:36
Speaker 1: you know, we all as we go through life, we drain.
4:39
Speaker 1: We see things on TV that inspire us, and we
4:43
Speaker 1: don't go to college. Some people don't go to college.
4:45
Speaker 1: Nothing negative, but not going to college. But as long
4:47
Speaker 1: as you're focused on your dreams and you pursue it consistently,
4:51
Speaker 1: when did you started setting that the balance right, started
4:55
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction in your career, within your
4:58
Speaker 1: your teens or olier than that, when you started to
5:01
Speaker 1: be inspired said this is what I want to do. Well. Actually,
5:05
Speaker 1: I was seven years old when I made um a
5:08
Speaker 1: pair of shorts and a scarf. I visited my auntie
5:12
Speaker 1: up north in San Francisco area. My mom, of course,
5:16
Speaker 1: didn't want me to sew on some beet like young
5:19
Speaker 1: and I asked her, and she had an old antique
5:21
Speaker 1: saw machine. She said sure and went in the trunk
5:24
Speaker 1: and gave me some fabric, and I cut a pair
5:27
Speaker 1: of shorts in a band Danna and sat on that
5:30
Speaker 1: star machine and sewed. Because my mom had been slowing
5:33
Speaker 1: for many years, I used to watch her make evening
5:36
Speaker 1: gowns for her social and charity club. So from that
5:39
Speaker 1: point I just continued sowing on and by the time
5:43
Speaker 1: I got to junior high school, I was making more
5:46
Speaker 1: difficult patterns usually so so you were saying that early
5:50
Speaker 1: on when your seven was kind of like imitating your
5:52
Speaker 1: mom just yes, yes, well, just taking on something that
5:57
Speaker 1: I saw saw I watched hergers, but she used the
6:01
Speaker 1: design used to do gowns, uh, make gowns for her
6:04
Speaker 1: social and charity gloves and it made people happy, to
6:06
Speaker 1: make people smile when they when they sell you. So
6:09
Speaker 1: that was kind of like that just seeing something to
6:11
Speaker 1: your mom, and your mom was excited about she enjoyed
6:14
Speaker 1: doing it, and then you saw the results. Yes, And
6:18
Speaker 1: then I started taking on the craft as well, and
6:21
Speaker 1: more I got into it. The more just just was
6:24
Speaker 1: like amazing to me to be able to create various
6:26
Speaker 1: things that I loved, and I use patterns, and so
6:29
Speaker 1: I got got more and more complicated in terms of
6:32
Speaker 1: the patterns I was using. I start using Vogue Vogue
6:36
Speaker 1: patterns um out of the Vogue book, and that really
6:40
Speaker 1: takes you to a more different level of patterns that
6:43
Speaker 1: you can make things. So that was really exciting for me.
6:45
Speaker 1: By the time I got up to high school, I
6:48
Speaker 1: was doing complicate the Vogue patterns. Now, when you say
6:51
Speaker 1: that those are layered right, layered patterns, they kind of
6:54
Speaker 1: like it's not like a straight just a cut correct
6:57
Speaker 1: when you say vogue patterns well patterns, meaning that you
7:01
Speaker 1: could have a style that you go through a style
7:03
Speaker 1: book because a style, and then actually buy the pattern
7:07
Speaker 1: to make that style like your fabric what you wanted
7:10
Speaker 1: to look like, but you actually cut it according to
7:13
Speaker 1: that pattern and duplicates what you see on the picture.
7:16
Speaker 1: So it's actually the pattern that are the pieces that
7:20
Speaker 1: you cut to create the carmit. So now you're out there.
7:23
Speaker 1: You know you you're in high school. Now how are
7:26
Speaker 1: you dressing? Angela? So when you came, I had a
7:32
Speaker 1: friend of mine, I remember, I remember his name, Jock Howard.
7:36
Speaker 1: Jack Howard for some reason dressed differently from us. I mean,
7:40
Speaker 1: he was above the curve. To this day, he would
7:45
Speaker 1: come into school, I go, wow, what was he through
7:48
Speaker 1: his mind that made him dress like that? Because we
7:51
Speaker 1: were just we were just dressing normal. But he always
7:54
Speaker 1: had to tie on, he has suspenders on, his shoes
7:57
Speaker 1: were always clean. But he he walked differently than us.
8:01
Speaker 1: Jock Howard walked differently than us. And I was even
8:04
Speaker 1: when he went to college. It was just an upgrade
8:06
Speaker 1: when he went to college, you know, because he was
8:08
Speaker 1: like he was sure. But when I was seeing him
8:11
Speaker 1: walk across campus. I was always looking him. Go Jock Howard.
8:14
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he was just as a smooth So
8:17
Speaker 1: you was kind of like that person that was like
8:20
Speaker 1: it was a good thing. But then people couldn't understand
8:23
Speaker 1: how did you How did you get it so early?
8:26
Speaker 1: How did you figure it out? Because now you know,
8:28
Speaker 1: I'm taking some Now, me and Jock Howard, we'll be
8:31
Speaker 1: rocking the same. Look round. I got him, I got
8:34
Speaker 1: me and Jock I got jocked and July I got
8:37
Speaker 1: I've been having him by thirty years seventeen years old.
8:41
Speaker 1: I didn't know what he was doing. I understand it's
8:47
Speaker 1: a passion something you pick up early and you take
8:50
Speaker 1: on and you do a chan to this. And yes,
8:53
Speaker 1: I was him. Oh my god, that's a beautiful thing
8:56
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know it was. Here's
8:59
Speaker 1: the beauty of what I'm saying about when I talk
9:01
Speaker 1: about Jock Howard, I'm talking about Angela Dean, is that
9:04
Speaker 1: I was not offended by him. I was just I
9:08
Speaker 1: was just curious that in my mind, being so young,
9:13
Speaker 1: you know, we were playing basketball, Angela. You know, we're
9:16
Speaker 1: just trying to just learn about life. I'm cutting out
9:18
Speaker 1: cars and magazines and trying to figure out driving the
9:21
Speaker 1: neighborhood looking at houses. Want that house, I want that house.
9:25
Speaker 1: You know, cars ride bydy that's the car I want.
9:28
Speaker 1: That's the car I want. But Jock would go in
9:30
Speaker 1: this closet, put on the suspenders, his skinny tie, you know,
9:35
Speaker 1: his shirt was tucked in his belt. Everything fit right,
9:39
Speaker 1: and he walked down the hallway and I go, wow, wow,
9:48
Speaker 1: And so you had that stuff. So you watch your mom, Angela,
9:51
Speaker 1: and so your mom, see how I love the fact
9:53
Speaker 1: that you said you saw the beginning, the middle, and
9:56
Speaker 1: the end, and that's that's that's a really a special
10:00
Speaker 1: your moment for you to see because you know, I
10:01
Speaker 1: would see my father go to work, he'd come back
10:04
Speaker 1: to it. I never saw the middle. All I know,
10:08
Speaker 1: he was just working all day. I know he had
10:11
Speaker 1: to go to work. He knew he had to go
10:12
Speaker 1: to work. He'd come back sometime he was happy, sometimes
10:15
Speaker 1: he was said. So I never saw the results of
10:17
Speaker 1: what got him to that level. And so to watch
10:20
Speaker 1: your mom start something creatively, just take some material and
10:24
Speaker 1: they start, and then you see people come pick it
10:26
Speaker 1: up and go and do you see the reaction to
10:29
Speaker 1: you and your mom get paid for that activity that
10:32
Speaker 1: had to be really unique for you as a growing
10:34
Speaker 1: young lady. It definitely was. It definitely was. She inspired me.
10:39
Speaker 1: She is the inspiration of my whole existence as the finer.
10:44
Speaker 1: She was such an elegant and beautiful woman and tall,
10:47
Speaker 1: and the way she wore clothes was so beautifully. So
10:50
Speaker 1: when she made something, you know, like I said, it
10:52
Speaker 1: was seamed, uh events, so there would be a red
10:56
Speaker 1: ball for everyone. All the women were red, black and white.
11:00
Speaker 1: Everybody would wear black white. So she would make her
11:03
Speaker 1: sure fashion special. Her dresses were special. And so she
11:08
Speaker 1: sat there and was so then with the the elderly
11:11
Speaker 1: lady from across the street and they would saw on
11:13
Speaker 1: the saw machine and sold the balls. Pattern. So I
11:16
Speaker 1: was inspired by her for having the style and grace.
11:20
Speaker 1: Um My mom reminded you of Elena Horn or Nancy Wilson.
11:25
Speaker 1: You had to think of who she looked like. Just
11:28
Speaker 1: class class, this class. Yeah, So I kept that class
11:32
Speaker 1: in my designs for forever. You know. That's kind of
11:36
Speaker 1: what I worked from, where when you buy something for me,
11:39
Speaker 1: it's the last for years and you could wear it
11:41
Speaker 1: for years. Due to the classicness of the style, That's
11:46
Speaker 1: that's what I love about you, because the fact that
11:49
Speaker 1: you she she's saying a keyword, and people always say,
11:52
Speaker 1: I always tell you pay for excellence, and you also
11:55
Speaker 1: pay for longevity. And a lot of people are playing
11:57
Speaker 1: when you go, well, you know Taylor too, Taylor Church,
12:01
Speaker 1: that's kind of expensive, not really considering that, you know,
12:05
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna even type of shoes that you wear.
12:08
Speaker 1: You might go through a lot of shoes or shoes
12:10
Speaker 1: might be hurting your feet. Because I'm a testament to
12:12
Speaker 1: the fact that if I would have been wearing the
12:14
Speaker 1: shoes that I wore, I wear that versus college because
12:17
Speaker 1: I ordered I will. You know, I ain't gonna bad
12:20
Speaker 1: mof no names, but there was some names I shouldn't
12:22
Speaker 1: have had on my feet. And I'm paying the price
12:24
Speaker 1: for it right now. You understand what I'm saying, Angela.
12:28
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying right there. And so people
12:30
Speaker 1: come up with you as you pay for what you're getting.
12:33
Speaker 1: My toes are like if they could talk, they go, dude,
12:35
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you about that. And so
12:38
Speaker 1: when I look at your fast in your history, and
12:41
Speaker 1: I wanted to let people understand your journey Angela, how
12:44
Speaker 1: you becolled because a lot of people think that we
12:46
Speaker 1: always see in Hollywood, we see the end results, we
12:49
Speaker 1: always see the magic, but they don't really hear the journey.
12:53
Speaker 1: And I wanted I wanted to just share some moments
12:55
Speaker 1: of your journey before we really get into the fact
12:58
Speaker 1: of your greatness. Your eatness is people walking in the room,
13:02
Speaker 1: famous people, or famous executives or are noteworthy people in
13:06
Speaker 1: life going. I want you to make that for me,
13:08
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna trust that you're gonna make it because
13:10
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to put it on the one
13:12
Speaker 1: of the largest stages in the world. They made that
13:15
Speaker 1: first moment for us when you when they dawned on
13:18
Speaker 1: you did wow. Well. After I came out of high school,
13:23
Speaker 1: I then um went into college and went to school
13:27
Speaker 1: for fashion design. Came out about three or four years
13:31
Speaker 1: later and went into the fashion industry downtown Los Angeles.
13:36
Speaker 1: But UM, I wasn't really inspired by what I was doing,
13:39
Speaker 1: because I was they had me copying T shirts and
13:43
Speaker 1: UM doing things that I felt weren't in the integrity
13:47
Speaker 1: of creating, creating and being a designers. More so, like
13:50
Speaker 1: copying things I didn't think that's what I signed up for.
13:54
Speaker 1: So I looked for the first uh first placed the
13:59
Speaker 1: way to get to Hollywood, Like how do I get
14:01
Speaker 1: to Hollywood to do something creative? And you know the
14:05
Speaker 1: movies and TV and music gave me that freedom. So
14:09
Speaker 1: I actually got to store on mil rows in a
14:13
Speaker 1: two for about three years and uh had my own story.
14:18
Speaker 1: Was a challenge because they end up robbing me in
14:22
Speaker 1: I had to leave because I couldn't afford to stay
14:24
Speaker 1: after they had taken everything. Um, but it was really
14:28
Speaker 1: a challenge because the first black of designer, I believe
14:31
Speaker 1: on mil Roads, world famous mel Roads. It was years
14:37
Speaker 1: I know about the world famous Mayor Roads. Okay, yeah,
14:40
Speaker 1: so you know it was a little a little wild
14:43
Speaker 1: out there. Absolutely absolutely. I moved so I know us
14:48
Speaker 1: a little out of my curve, so you was doing
14:50
Speaker 1: some stuff way beyond it was. It was. It was
14:54
Speaker 1: really an amazing journey. But at the same time, you know,
14:58
Speaker 1: I learned a lot in so I'm trying to have
15:00
Speaker 1: to say all the things about who you are and
15:04
Speaker 1: the fact that on the store and that type of
15:06
Speaker 1: thing wasn't the best thing to talk about. Learned how
15:09
Speaker 1: to get a little quiet and not say so much.
15:12
Speaker 1: So in many years I really didn't give the information
15:17
Speaker 1: that was black. I had a name, there was a
15:21
Speaker 1: Dean sign which was my company name, and wrote off
15:23
Speaker 1: of that and did a lot of celebrities and famous
15:26
Speaker 1: people from that point on. After I closed my store
15:30
Speaker 1: UM and kind of went to more customs of creating
15:34
Speaker 1: for the music and entertainment business for celebrities, sent album covers,
15:39
Speaker 1: um magazine covers, stage performances, um, you know, red carpet
15:45
Speaker 1: and those types of things for my specialty. So I
15:47
Speaker 1: created my own lane as a celebrity designer. Most people
15:51
Speaker 1: weren't using that term. Now everyone is, this is something,
15:55
Speaker 1: this is some branding and all those things. I'm talking
15:58
Speaker 1: to Angela Dean Um. She is an amazing person from
16:01
Speaker 1: Madonna to Katie Perry, to Oprah Winfrey to Halleyberry. Her
16:04
Speaker 1: creations of a Dawn magazine covers, concert stages and Oscar

Speaker 1: just like I was just there doing the job. No,
21:31
Speaker 1: I really took enough. I took advantage of those opportunities.
21:35
Speaker 1: I knew that they were special moments in time, and
21:40
Speaker 1: I really embraced them. I have so many amazing UM
21:45
Speaker 1: relationships with my celebrity clients that a lot of special
21:49
Speaker 1: highs and low moments. You know, there's entertainment businesses can
21:54
Speaker 1: be very challenging. So I've had great, um, great relations
22:00
Speaker 1: and ships with my celebrity clients. Um, the late Nancy
22:03
Speaker 1: Wilson was like a mom to me and we would
22:06
Speaker 1: sit lay on the bed after her uh shows that
22:09
Speaker 1: the build more hotel, red Eye and cool and just
22:12
Speaker 1: lay and talk about different things of life. They let
22:16
Speaker 1: me really have a personal place. If you ever have
22:19
Speaker 1: a chance to get into that space with them, they
22:23
Speaker 1: have a lot to share and I had a lot
22:25
Speaker 1: to share as well. For those intimate moments. I'll never
22:28
Speaker 1: forget what many of them. So I did try to
22:31
Speaker 1: take some moments if I could, because I had a
22:34
Speaker 1: lot of private moments with them. And it's really important
22:37
Speaker 1: because I think that the reason I bring that up
22:39
Speaker 1: because a lot of times we just especially in today's society,
22:42
Speaker 1: with like you know, basically your phone's attached to your text,
22:46
Speaker 1: A lot of people will just text or they could
22:47
Speaker 1: just pick up a phone and tex Yeah, yeah, I
22:52
Speaker 1: do that a lot a people next me and I
22:55
Speaker 1: just I just picked a phone call and I say, hey,
22:56
Speaker 1: you call me. Look, that's what we we we understand
23:01
Speaker 1: that as mature people. It's just not good. You know
23:07
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Cool, What's what's up? What's what's happened?
23:11
Speaker 1: Tont That's right? Connect and it really needs to do
23:15
Speaker 1: and it really helps you because of that technology, because
23:19
Speaker 1: you know, you you come through a lane of like
23:21
Speaker 1: you know, I can use the word old school communication
23:25
Speaker 1: was a lot of time people told you that they
23:27
Speaker 1: come in and sit down and talk to you, had
23:29
Speaker 1: these nice conversations and allow you to work through the process.
23:32
Speaker 1: Now you have technology. First it was facts and how
23:36
Speaker 1: there was email. Now didn't just take a photo of
23:38
Speaker 1: something that sent it to you. So so, so how
23:43
Speaker 1: does that affect How has that affected you creatively over
23:46
Speaker 1: the years, you know? Interestingly enough, the technology has helped
23:51
Speaker 1: me tremendously because I can go with my phone now
23:54
Speaker 1: and shop with my clients in real time. You know,
23:58
Speaker 1: um actually showed them the African real time to make
24:01
Speaker 1: the choice in real time. My sketches aren't able to
24:04
Speaker 1: do and send to them, you know, in real time.
24:08
Speaker 1: So it really has assisted me, I think in the
24:11
Speaker 1: process of getting clear and understanding what's available and understanding
24:16
Speaker 1: what the process is going to be going forward with
24:18
Speaker 1: the order. So I think technology has been a tremendous
24:22
Speaker 1: acset um in the area of communicating and design for
24:27
Speaker 1: sure with me and my clients. And I think that
24:30
Speaker 1: that's what we're moving more into now today. I think
24:33
Speaker 1: that's what this is about, bringing us more online, more online.
24:37
Speaker 1: It can be a bad thing, but when we can
24:41
Speaker 1: take advantage of the things that we have access to
24:43
Speaker 1: today with technology, it is to our advantage, especially in
24:47
Speaker 1: the process of creating. We're speaking about technology. Just move
24:52
Speaker 1: on to your revolutionary shaped by a body. Got it
24:57
Speaker 1: up in front of me, so I got photos. I
24:59
Speaker 1: got kind of pictures in front of me. So walkway
25:02
Speaker 1: through the step of saying okay with Sean. You know
25:05
Speaker 1: I've designed all these clothes for different celebrities and everyday people.
25:09
Speaker 1: How did you get into the body wear industry so well?
25:14
Speaker 1: I've always been known for different various body types of
25:18
Speaker 1: being able to create amazing things no matter what size
25:23
Speaker 1: or height or shape you are. That's been my forte
25:27
Speaker 1: and so um. The shapewoard marketad has been something that
25:31
Speaker 1: I've you know, dove into because I was worked for
25:34
Speaker 1: a laundry company some years ago after closing my store
25:37
Speaker 1: where I designed the bullet Brow. Of course it for Madonna,
25:42
Speaker 1: and I started using a lot of the my course,
25:45
Speaker 1: it's underneath, um, the gowns and things. So it became
25:49
Speaker 1: something that I was a go to for that building.
25:53
Speaker 1: It underneath the gowns for ostar gowns and things like that,
25:58
Speaker 1: and those in the closed gots of more we had
26:01
Speaker 1: to use different fabrics and go in the stretching, and
26:04
Speaker 1: so I just continue to work and develop it. It
26:07
Speaker 1: really felt that it was important that I create a
26:09
Speaker 1: shapeline that was for all body types. All of all
26:14
Speaker 1: bodies are not the same all women are not the
26:16
Speaker 1: same shape, and so the shapers are designed according to
26:20
Speaker 1: the five most common bite types, which accentuate the areas
26:24
Speaker 1: of those body types and enhanced and you know, take
26:28
Speaker 1: away and realigned the shape um with the panels. So
26:33
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm very proud of and it's very
26:35
Speaker 1: unique and different, and it's amazing it transforms bodies every day.
26:41
Speaker 1: It was one of my let me ask you this
26:43
Speaker 1: about let me just about your body wear, because I
26:45
Speaker 1: watched Steve. I have six sisters, so you know, they
26:48
Speaker 1: were always four of them are older than me, and
26:52
Speaker 1: so so I'm always you know, I've seen what when
26:55
Speaker 1: you say transformative or revolutionary, what what is your clothes
26:59
Speaker 1: doing to a woman's body, because you say bodies of
27:02
Speaker 1: styles of all shape, Well, the tightening the weightline or
27:08
Speaker 1: the shaper. Yeah, the shaper has panels in it in
27:13
Speaker 1: the inside of it that's reshaping and doing different various
27:17
Speaker 1: things to areas of the body. That need assistance. So
27:20
Speaker 1: for instance, your waist, you want your waists to be smaller.
27:23
Speaker 1: There's a panel to accentuate the waste. There's an area
27:27
Speaker 1: that is a panel for the abdomen, so a lot
27:29
Speaker 1: of women foot you out a little bit and has
27:32
Speaker 1: a tendency to pull you in. It has a panel
27:35
Speaker 1: underneath your buttocks area, lift your butt um. There's a
27:39
Speaker 1: panel across the back of your waists that accentuates your waste.
27:42
Speaker 1: More so, it's giving the body more accentuating areas. Through
27:46
Speaker 1: the panels. They're assisting in reshaping the body. Then the
27:52
Speaker 1: fabric is amazing too because it's supposed surgical compression fabric
27:56
Speaker 1: that has empty microbial fibers to keep you cooling fresh. Um. Okay,
28:02
Speaker 1: angel and real you were real scientific owners right there.
28:06
Speaker 1: You know you need to stop to break that down.
28:10
Speaker 1: Fact that a breeze and there's uh, you know compression.
28:15
Speaker 1: I've heard that we're compression comfortable. So so so a
28:19
Speaker 1: young lady comes in, uh, because you know your your
28:23
Speaker 1: your line is for all age groups. Correct, Okay, okay,
28:28

Speaker 1: So how would I how would I be introduced to
29:18
Speaker 1: your website as a as a as a as a woman,
29:21
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get what what? What? What? Why? Why?
29:24
Speaker 1: Why would I go to your website? I guess I
29:26
Speaker 1: should ask that question. And you, well, you're go into
29:29
Speaker 1: my website for what for? I think that you're probably
29:33
Speaker 1: looking for something UM in the area of shape where
29:36
Speaker 1: they can assist you with making your body fields looser
29:41
Speaker 1: or um shrinking your body maybe a couple of sizes
29:44
Speaker 1: through the shape where but women are just really um
29:48
Speaker 1: embraced shape where because it reshapes them and makes them
29:52
Speaker 1: feel comfortable and smoothe out the body. So it's usually
29:56
Speaker 1: a desire to your look. Women are constantly looking for
30:00
Speaker 1: shapewear or better shapewear, um various brands, So it's something
30:04
Speaker 1: that women have been wearing since the many decades. Um.
30:09
Speaker 1: So mine is very modernized and revolutionized by the fabric.
30:12
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of great property. So um, I
30:17
Speaker 1: think that it would be all in terms of even
30:19
Speaker 1: maybe looking for a great shape or shaper at one
30:22
Speaker 1: time or another and you may stumble on mine, my
30:25
Speaker 1: website or my social media handler. That's really cool. So
30:30
Speaker 1: how how involved were you in this whole process? Because
30:33
Speaker 1: I know I involved you on your your fashion designs
30:36
Speaker 1: and because you've done so much, but now that you're
30:38
Speaker 1: going to everyday people, so which means it's more a
30:40
Speaker 1: mass a mass relationship. So you're trying to you're trying
30:44
Speaker 1: now to meet a lot of people needs and with
30:47
Speaker 1: a fashion So how did that did that play anywhere?
30:50
Speaker 1: Did that play anywhere into your mindset about how can
30:53
Speaker 1: I you know, because you know, to make eight famous
30:56
Speaker 1: people on the cover or eight Temple famous or Oprah
31:00
Speaker 1: are Madonna? You're you're talking on one on one. Now
31:03
Speaker 1: you're sitting in the room. What some individuals you have
31:06
Speaker 1: this great idea you you're touching fashion. You I wanted
31:09
Speaker 1: to appeal to everyone? What does that exactly? Does that
31:11
Speaker 1: statement mean? What does the statement made when I say
31:16
Speaker 1: appeal to everyone? What does that statement mean to you?
31:18
Speaker 1: When I say that, well, that means everything to me
31:22
Speaker 1: because that's what my forte and goal is to help
31:26
Speaker 1: women to trans transform and uplifts them feel better about
31:31
Speaker 1: their bodies, about their fashion. I want to give women
31:34
Speaker 1: UM clothes that work best for their body types. I
31:37
Speaker 1: think women UM need to have better choices porty to
31:41
Speaker 1: body types, and that's what I want to do, UM
31:45
Speaker 1: and give them options that really work for their lifestyle
31:48
Speaker 1: and keep them comfortable and fashionable being shaped up. You
31:52
Speaker 1: know what? You know what I like when I hear you.
31:54
Speaker 1: You keep saying the word body type, which I think
31:56
Speaker 1: is really coold to hear because a lot of people
31:58
Speaker 1: sell stuff and they just tell you they're just trying
32:00
Speaker 1: to squeeze you into a look. And you know, I'm
32:04
Speaker 1: just I grew up. I'm I'm an old school guy.
32:06
Speaker 1: I grew up my mom when she wore girdles. You know,
32:09
Speaker 1: and and and and so and so that was just
32:12
Speaker 1: and she was just squeeze in there. It wasn't do
32:14
Speaker 1: her body type, it was just she she was just
32:17
Speaker 1: just just trying to reshape some stuff so she can
32:19
Speaker 1: put on that dress. You know what I'm saying. So
32:22
Speaker 1: and so that's what I'm talking about when I hear
32:24
Speaker 1: because you're saying that a lot, which is really great,
32:26
Speaker 1: which means that the customer comes first, which means that
32:29
Speaker 1: you're trying to style it, stylize this to their comfort zone.
32:33
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying every time my mom walked out
32:35
Speaker 1: that dough, but I don't think she walked out that
32:36
Speaker 1: dough comfortable. I really don't know. I think she just
32:40
Speaker 1: won't out that that they're trying to hold up to
32:46
Speaker 1: hold to get through the day for being squiper. But well,
32:50
Speaker 1: the thing is, that's what's great and why my shapers
32:54
Speaker 1: are identified as revolutionary right, um, because the fabric is
32:59
Speaker 1: where all was the magic is today we have like
33:03
Speaker 1: I said before earlier, Um, a lot of times the
33:06
Speaker 1: fabrics weren't conducive to what I needed. As close change
33:10
Speaker 1: and got thinner and more, you know, closer to your body.
33:13
Speaker 1: You couldn't use all the boning and all the stiff
33:15
Speaker 1: things that of course it would take, so you needed
33:18
Speaker 1: more comfortable fabrics, and so that post surgical fabrics became
33:22
Speaker 1: a go to for me to create the shaper so
33:26
Speaker 1: that it wouldn't feel like you say and your mom
33:27
Speaker 1: would feel it makes struggle to get it on. When
33:30
Speaker 1: you get it on, there's a comfortability to it that
33:33
Speaker 1: just moves with your body and flows and has a
33:36
Speaker 1: has a great feeling of security and and pulling in
33:40
Speaker 1: and compression, but it's in a comfortable way. And so
33:44
Speaker 1: that way you can get the books, you know, the
33:48
Speaker 1: benefits of both worlds that get the fit and then
33:51
Speaker 1: I get the comfort as well, the transformation and the comfort,
33:54
Speaker 1: and that is why we call it revolutionary. It's exciting
33:59
Speaker 1: to talk to you about, you know then that have
34:02
Speaker 1: six sisters form older than me and knowing how my mom,
34:06
Speaker 1: you know, walked out that door and I don't think
34:08
Speaker 1: she was happy every time she walked out that door,
34:10
Speaker 1: but she walked out that door because that's all she
34:12
Speaker 1: had to work with the girl. Yeah, and then for
