Hi, I'm here with the cast of Awkward. How are you guys?
Good, how are you?
Good, thank you. Looking beautiful.
Thank you.
Fashion trends.
You look I love that you're sporting the rose gold, love your outfit.
Saw her in the elevator going up and I'm like, I want to go home and change now cuz you look fantastic.
Oh, thank you.
Let me guess, Lululemon. I know my fashion.
I have this thing, I don't know if it's actually a trend. I think it might be an LA trend. Like fitness fitness clothes just like for all the time.
I'm loving your rose gold necklace.
Oh, thank you. It actually, um, is a little map. It has a diamond on the at the place that, uh, my fiance and I had our first date.
Like nice fitness clothes. It's all I wear all the time.
But do you actually work out or do you just wear the fitness clothes?
Sometimes, sometimes I just make you think I worked out.
And then on the other side it has where our wedding venue.
Oh my gosh. That's love. That is love. Wow.
This is the trend that I finally succumbed to, which is the over the knee boot.
That's what I was gonna say. Rose gold is huge and my engagement ring is actually yellow gold, which is old school.
I didn't think that a tapered leg all the way down was gonna stay in for a long time. And I think it's here to stay, and now I think the over the knee boot is here to stay and it better be, because I just bought some.
Were you watching on Instagram?
Okay, so, I really like this girl, Chiara Ferragni. She has the dopest tattoos.
Beauty tip, I would say, for us blondes who might be a an ash blonde, um, when it's grown out or a brunette. Uh, if it's growing out and you can't you can't get to the to your hair guy to do your roots, a good dry shampoo will cover those roots.
I got this this great thing, actually. You, uh, you stand in the tub and you you turn the water on and the water falls all over you and you and you and you scrub yourself.
You're very high tech. Wow. I might try that.
Yeah, you get clean, it's cool. It's good, works really well.
I love that, I love that. Thank you for that tip.
You're welcome.
I don't think we would've found that out anywhere else.
I was thanking you for that visual as well, Bow.
A good dry shampoo can can hold you over for a good two to three weeks. Possibly even longer. That's what I do when I don't wanna wash my hair.
Well, that too. A good dry shampoo.
That too, but dry shampoo has really changed my life.
Oldie but a goodie for me, it's sleep. Nothing's nothing is ever better than sleep. Um, but if an actual product, dry shampoo.
I was gonna say dry shampoo, Barrett. You keep like,
Yes, dry shampoo, specifically from Drybar has is the best one for blondes. It's the best one for blondes.
The laws of birthdays. One law that you guys have to have on your birthday that is just sort of like a right of passage.
Just to tell people that I'm like ten years older than I really am so that they'll think that I look really good for my age.
Oh. The reverse. I like it.
You look really good. I'm 72.
I like to go to, you know, lunch with all of my different friends and then maybe go to dinner with my husband and then I don't know, maybe have a party or just have people to come and have drinks, you know, or I I'm kind of a birthday dragger outer.
I make sure I call my mother every day.
Wait, isn't she supposed to call you on your birthday?
No, no, no, no. I call her and I thank her.
For having me.
For having me. For letting me have the joy of life.
For birth- for birthing you? And we lost that other visual. Cool, now I got a new one. A restaurant that you guys are into.
I go to one restaurant only. McDonald's.
You do the dinner for the breakfast for dinner?
No, I don't want breakfast. I'm not a breakfast person. I want a McChicken sandwich at all hours of the day.
Blue Ribbon is fantastic. I took her there for her late dinner.
Second dinner.
It was second dinner. It was her favorite night of her life. She was like, we had two dinners tonight. And I'm like, yeah we did.
Because this is a cocktail party. What is your favorite cocktail?
Just a classic old fashioned. I'm a whisky.
Old fashioned kind of guy, aren't you?
I'm an old fashioned kind of guy. I like a I like an old fashioned or a Manhattan.
I like Moscow mules. And I need them in the copper cup. I want the cup.
What's a Manhattan? Is that a girl drink?
No, no, Cosmo. Cosmopolitan would be a girl's drink. Uh, well, no, it could it could be a girl's drink though. You know what's a girl's drink? Whiskey on the rocks.
It's 2016 people. That's not a cock- is that your drink?
Yeah, that's my drink. Yeah.
Yeah, lots of girls like whiskey now.
I will have a Ketel One Martini, dirty, up, freezing, ice chips floating on the top. Please, thank you.
What? Jesus.
At least she said please.
I always say please. I also like vodka soda.
Vodka soda. It's not a cocktail again.
Yes it is.
No, no, no. A cocktail has to have two liquors in it. I used to be a waiter.
Woah, woah, woah. That's what a cocktail is.
So a cocktail has to have two different liquors in it. So a Manhattan
So then a Moscow mule is not a cocktail?
No.
I'm a wine girl. Like I love a good glass of Chardonnay and I love a good Housewife of Beverly.
I am. I wear Victoria's Secret pajama sets. Matching.
Matching pajama set.
Long Island iced tea. Is a cocktail?
Long Island iced tea is like a cocktail. Yeah.
How many things are in that, like 25?
25. You take one step and that's there are awkward.
Whoa, that was good.
And no iced tea.
Music you're into.
So I snowboard and I have my little music, my iPod is on shuffle. It's this really embarrassing mix of 60s stuff, which is fine, like 70s rock, but there's also like the occasional show tune. There's there's just things that you're like Oh wow. You're like snow sh-shredding and like mame starts getting out of my headphones.
I love classic music. Like classic rock, Frank Sinatra or
Can you croon?
Uh, not well.
Do you croon at home?
I do, well, yeah, I do. I sing a lot around the house actually.
I've been listening to The Bahamas a lot lately. They're a Canadian band.
I love Katy Perry, I love hip hop, I love Drake. You know.
Why does everybody love Drake so much?
He's so cute.
I can't stop listening to Chris Stapleton's album. Every song on that album is so good.
Probably the Flaming Lips, honestly. I'm going through a little phase of that. with a little Janelle Monáe. Somehow they compliment each other. It's weird.
Thank you both so much. This was a lot of fun, thank you.
Can I make one suggestion? Have you ever drank coffee in the shower?
Yeah. I have.
Come on. It's the best.
Thank you very much. Great to see you all. Thank you. I could talk to you all day.
Yeah, that was great.
I thought you were gonna say something else.
