Thank you for coming in.
No problem.
Obsessed with your hair. Obsessed.
Oh my gosh, thank you. And you know I just heard that Beyoncé, she cut her haircut's like this now. It was really, really short, but now it's like in this bob. And I'm like,
Because she saw your picture and she was like, I got to have what Tia's having. No, but, but you're one of those people, you experiment with your hair. You're brave that way. You're not afraid to like change it up.
I do. Do you know what? I'm I'm not, but I have to give it to my hairstylist Kareem. He is incredible. He's amazing.
Does that change what you wear?
Yes. Yes. Definitely, it does. Cuz I feel like with me, like even if my hair goes a little lighter or a little darker, excuse to shop. None of my words of works anymore. No, yeah. Whole new wardrobe. No, that's true.
Incredible. Incredible.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
But tell me, how do Cuz when I saw that picture of Beyoncé with her little cropped hair, I was like, Like gasping, drinking my coffee in the morning going, No, yeah. Like it's shocking when people your hair that.
But you know what? I I I I think I understand why she could have done it. I mean, she is a mom now and, you know, I cut my hair off after becoming a mom and you're not the same person. You're completely a new person and you just want to, you know, start off fresh and, you know, with a new cut and a new you. So, I
And did you bring me stretch mark cream? I wanted to know that. No, cuz I've never had kids. but I need stretch mark cream.
I know, but you know I do, we have a stretch mark cream. My sister and I called Stretch. That's why I'm asking. Stretchy for knee brands. com and it's it's great. No, I didn't bring you should told me.
And for people who have never had children that still want the stretch mark cream. Or milky, the uh, you know, that I don't need. No. To enhance your breast milk. Well, it's interesting what you're saying about like how you change when you become a mom. Cuz there's a line in in Baggage Claim in the movie where the mom in the movie is a little old fashion and she's like, you're not a woman until you get married and have kids. How do you feel about that?
I I I I don't think that's true. No. I don't think that having kids or being married defines who you are as a person or defines you as a woman.
Yeah, it was a very old school way of but did it change? Did you feel like a tremendous difference in like how you felt as a woman?
I I did. And to be honest with you, I was very shy before I had Kree, my son. But after having him, I feel sexier. I don't know and I I I feel so strong and powerful. I do. I feel like I am now a lioness.
I love it. Well, let's talk about the movie a little bit. Okay. You rocked my world because this scene where you go off. Yeah. You go off on somebody. I won't say who and I won't say this right. I don't want to spoil it. Yeah. Please teach me.
I think I think the key is to have no fear. Say what you want. Say what you mean. This is your platform and just get it all out. Um, but yeah and have fun. Not thinking.
This is it. From now on, no filter. No filter. What is power? Has the reaction been to people who have seen that scene?
Oh my gosh. Everybody, they are shocked. Number one. They're like, wow, Tia. I didn't even know that was in you. I I feel sorry for your husband. Um, but it's actually the feedback has been really, really good. It seems like a lot of people are really interested in seeing this movie. It's a such a good movie.
It is. Entertaining from top to bottom. It's it's a lot of fun.
It's a lot of fun. And I had so much fun doing it. I really did.
So, let's talk about traveling. What is your style when you travel?
It's all about comfort. I'm I'm I'm in the sweats. I have on no makeup. And also, I travel when I'm traveling with my son as well. I'm in sneakers. I'm not trying to always look cute. And in my opinion, I I think, you know, if if somebody meets me the way I am, who I am most of the time, I think that's the best. You know what I mean? That's what I want somebody looking my worst. So I can only go up from there in their opinion.
Exactly. Exactly. Well, I have a game for you and we might not agree on the answers to the.
Oh no. Okay.
It's a two-parter. It's like a travel and a dating kind of, you know, this is called this can fly or too much baggage. So if you went to on a date with a man and they did this, this can fly or just too much baggage. Don't want to deal. Okay.
Oh, no. Too much baggage. Oh, my gosh.
So the first scenario is and this is taken from the movie. You go to a man's house and he has on his big screen TV a slideshow of pictures of just himself.
Too much baggage. I can't be with somebody who loves himself more than me like that.
So you just walking out?
Yeah, it's too much baggage. No.
Okay. A man who has a teeny tiny teacup dog.
This is where the Okay. I love teacup dogs. Me too. And I used to have a chihuahua. So, this could that could fly. That could fly.
What if it had bows in its hair and it was called juicy? And it was his dog?
And it was his dog. Ooh, I don't know. Hey.
This can fly or too much baggage. A man who orders for you at a restaurant. Down to the drink.
Oh, these are hard questions. If he knows what I like.
He's taking control. We're talking first date. First date. Yeah.
Oh, no. That's too much baggage.
Okay. Second part of this game is about traveling. Okay. When this is a which is worst scenario. Which is worst? Yes. Okay. The person that brings their smelly food onto a plane, like a tuna sandwich. Well, you wouldn't bring tuna, but you know how like it permeates the whole plane?
Okay. No, I do have it's it's called kimchi. It's it's a cultured vegetable that I eat and and it's it's smells so bad. It's embarrassing.
Okay. It's bad. So, either that, which is worse, that or the person that falls asleep next to you on the plane and passes gas through the whole flight.
Oh my God. You know what I would have to say, the guy who falls asleep and passes gas. That's I can handle some kimchi but I can't handle the other part. That's It's no. Not good.
Okay. Which is worst? An armrest hog or the person on an overnight flight that is laughing at the movie they're watching?
Oh, I would say the armrest hog. I love when when a guy laughs. I I I I will just start joining in. I'll be like, yeah, what are you watching?
I know, I always have plane envy where I think whatever they're watching looks so much better than what I'm watching.
Yeah. I love to laugh. And if I'm seeing a guy, you know, laughing, I think that I think that that's cool.
Okay. This is how do you deal? You're at the airport. You pick up the wrong bag by accident. Looks just like your bag. You get to your hotel. You open it. You didn't pack that great, but this bag is full of Louboutins, Gucci. Oh God. Whatever like your dream wardrobe. Do you return it or you just keep it?
Oh my gosh. I'm going to return it.
What? Yes. I'm going to return it. You don't buy You're so stylish. I would take it.
No, it's it's not mine. No, cuz inevitably you take it and you wear the Louboutins and you trip and you break your ankle or something.
Next time you come in. Yeah. I want stretch mark cream. Yes. And then milky. And I can't wait to see what your hair style is next.
Oh, yeah. Cuz Beyonce will be showing up with that the week after.
Oh god. Thanks for coming in. You're such a pleasure. Congrats on the film. You're a great movie.
Oh, thank you.
