Well, if that includes being interrupted by my child and dog, we did it in about an hour and a half.
That's not bad though.
It's not bad at all.
Not bad. 15 minutes. Okay, that's not bad.
No, it was like it was like 30. I I actually uh Yeah, I had someone do my makeup and that was I tried to do it myself today. I thought it was going to be a thing and it just was not. So, I had to have someone fix it for me.
How often do you do your makeup?
Uh not all of them, but I felt like if I'm going to do it, I gotta do, you know, throw a little concealer on, but I just totally messed it up when I tried it myself. So, I had to have someone fix it for me.
What's going on there?
Nails by China on Instagram. She's in Orange County. She's the best. I can't wash my hair. I can't go to the toilet. I can't do anything in these nails. So, they're probably going to come off after tonight, but they're cute, right? For a night.
For a night. Yeah. But how long did it take you?
My girl was so quick. It probably took an hour and a half.
That's not too bad.
Yeah, an hour and a half for these gorgeous nails. I'll take it.
And how long did it take you overall to get ready?
To get ready. Oh, I'm a little embarrassed. It took me like three and a half hours. But, you know, we like had we had dinner in between and we were like chatting and we were like, you know, dancing and singing. So, I guess it's not exactly three and a half hours, but it took a while cuz I'm a full beat kind of girl.
Me, Lexi, and Lisa all got a big hotel room together to do glam together. Side by side. I think we got there at like three. I think I started at like 3:30. It's a couple hours. I'm not going to lie. A couple hours and several people.
Hi.
Yeah, I had the outfit. We pulled it together. We pulled it together.
Oh, it's so amazing. Thank you. A little spin. Do a little spin. It's giving body.
Thank you. Oh, isn't it? Oh, is it? Thank you.
There was one summer that I went to a theater camp when I was in like high school. And you know, at this point, I just, you know, had acted in a couple things and I was always playing like the young kid and stuff. And they put a huge wig on me and a fake beard, and I played this old decrepit man for two months at a summer camp.
They should have.
I I think so. But that was quite the experience to spend the whole summer playing an old decrepit man at like 14 years old.
You age.
I I aged. Oh, yeah. That was that was the maturing, you know, event in my life.
Swimming in the river and bathing with a bar of Ivory soap after picking a field of tobacco. That's my craziest summer memory, which I at the time hated, but now I'm like, wow. I did that.
That's bananas.
Probably traveling to Jamaica with my family. I remember this one time, uh we went snorkeling together. This actually kind of it's a it's a it's a dark comedy memory. We were snorkeling all together. My mom like got attacked by some fire coral. And like she was trying to help me swim. So I was just struggling like crazy. But it was crazy because I was looking at a whole bunch of beautiful like life in the ocean. And my mom was like trying to get her foot to work, you know? But I was there with my family. We were in the grill and it was just so beautiful. I love spending time with my family and traveling with my family. So definitely definitely Jamaica.
I feel like the summer that I was a camp counselor at summer camp.
No way.
Yeah.
You counseled a camp?
Dude, right? I know. I was like I was 15 or 16. Who left me in charge of children? It's crazy.
It's honestly, a lot of my memories are just like playing with my neighbor, my next door neighbor. We would like make little videos like little skits and stuff on like a little video camera, which is so like I feel like in kind of related to the show like just carrying around a little video camera. Um, so that's maybe that or going to the beach with my family.
You know, I actually got asked this before and I was like, I kind of had a boring childhood cuz like I can't think of anything right now. Um, I just remember hanging out with my parents a lot cuz I'm an only child. So like when summer break hits, me and my parents were like this. And I loved it, but I'm sure they were kind of sick of me towards the end. They're like waiting for me to go back to school. But I feel like my parents are a really big part of my childhood and my summer breaks.
All in one place would have been when we wrapped. I've seen some of them, uh individually but not everybody everywhere all at once until tonight. Oh yeah. Yeah, it it there's no experience like watching it with an audience. That's when you know how it's gonna be received. When you watch it with an audience, that tells you everything. So I'm excited. I love this cast and everybody looks so incredible and I'm just like really I'm so excited to be able to like go in Yeah, it's a lot going on. But I'm so excited to like go in and just celebrate with them.

And it's so crazy seeing them in this space because it's like, oh wait, we're not just regular old friends. We're actually castmates and we made a show together. Um, so I mean, I got so blessed with the most amazing girls. Um, and they will be my bestest friends for life. I love them. Like I could start crying. I love them so much.
Yeah, it's actually crazy though that you did a show together, but you also like are actually best friends.
We're actually best friends. I mean, we filmed every single day. And you would think that you would want some alone time, but like right when the weekend hits, we're like, all right, so what's the plan? What are the girls doing? We did film in Vancouver. What do you do on the weekends? Oh, we went out. Cuz cuz me and Lexi are legal in Canada. So we went out. Um, went dancing. Uh, it was so fun. And we um, we actually lived in an apartment together. So we had like game nights and just like everyone came over. It was like kind of like a frat house. It got kind of gross towards the end. Yeah.
Summer or winter, for the very last time for you?
Winter.
What's the only thing about summer?
Okay. Did you film in Vancouver? Yeah. I just felt like going for the controversial answer. I felt like Also, I like layers. And I live in L. A. where it's always hot. So I'm like trying to switch it up. You know what I mean?
