Chapter 1: Who is Alonzo Arnold and what is her background?
Those are her first, like, big spending pair of heels. And he told her to throw them away, and she was like, I spent my last on these. And, you know, I was almost evicted. So, I can't throw these shoes away. So, not saying to spend your last. I wouldn't say do that. But my budget, I don't really have a budget. I just be like, now I'm more careful with my spending.
Now, when I first got into it, I was getting every damn thing. But now I'm just really careful because I feel like, especially in the times we in, child, you got to hold on to your money, honey. So, and I like a little budget, honey. Like, this bag right here is worth $7,000, $8,000 now. And I got her for $1,900. Yeah. I know that's right.
It is cute.
It looks like the new collection. Yeah, it does. This the vintage one under Marc Jacobs. I know that's right. So you don't have a budget now on what you spend a month on clothes? Give me a ballpark figure. I would say a month. Right. I would say now I'm looking at either two bags a month that I really want or about $10,000 a month. Okay. It used to be.
You talking about, see, that's how I know this couch got money. Girl, I'm talking about, okay, baby. Right, okay, right. I mean, because I feel like. Girl, you spend money on clothes, too. I do. I like clothes and a little shoe. Baby, I'm on fashion. The shoe matters. The shoe matters.
I love the shoe. I love the high-low moment. Thank you. When Fashion Nova say how you want to pay, Klarna.
Damn, that Fashion Nova with Klarna. But y'all know what's funny? Everybody has Klarna now. Even like Givenchy and stuff. They be having Klarna too. I didn't get that shark boot. That's why everybody got shark boots now. Oh my gosh. So do you offer styling to people? You know what? I do want to start doing it. I think you should.
Yes.
Like one, it ain't even got to be a celebrity. It can just be a girl that ain't got no budget and be like, here's my car. Go to the mall and get what you need. And you know, it's not going to be designer every time. Like I tell people, Be comfortable in whatever your budget is. Mm-hmm. It's some people out here you would never tell. Like, look at this dress, honey. You would never tell. Mm-hmm.

Chapter 2: Why is having a hairstylist license not always necessary?
Ooh.
The worst wig install I have ever seen on a celebrity.
Mm-hmm.
Girl, that's a lot of thinking, girl. We got time. I seen some bad wigs. Mm-hmm. I can think of a few. I can, too. Who you thinking? Okay. Honestly, I feel y'all. Okay. Kim Zosiac, that wig was terrible. Still. Yeah, you know, she like them pushback wigs, honey. Yeah. And they used to be stacked like a mountain on top of that wig, honey. Appalachian mountains.
Yes. Yeah.
I agree with that one. I don't know. Let me, bad wigs. Ooh. Who had a bad wig? Shit, I done had a couple of bad damn wigs. I had one too, bitch. I had a few. It's on, y'all can look on it. It's on the top of the menu. Dre still got my bad wig. I do have it in my closet. You know what? I would say the worst wig I ever seen, this is the BET Awards, what was that, 2023? And Diamond.
I'm sorry, Crying Mile Diamond. You know, I don't think she was, you know, she was liberty. Well, you know, she's a rapper, so. She came in there looking like little scrappy, she was a little scrappy, honey. Lady Kirby looking like, I can tell you that, honey. And I said, whoa, what happened in that car, girl? You know. That damn wig was just everywhere. It was just an everyday wig, okay?
I get it, though. I get it. Sometimes you have them nice.
Okay.

Chapter 3: How did Alonzo Arnold break into the hair industry?
I mean, I'm not going to lie. I understand that's an Alabama game, but this is Beyonce, baby.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, basically, Shay was saying, like, in Alabama, they can handle the capacity of, like, the roll tide, and it be a lot of people, and they can handle it. So, but I do agree. I feel like she could have found one little, at least one little city to do it. But I'm not mad. I'm going. Yeah. We gonna see, y'all. We gonna be there with our hats on and our cowboy boots.
You know, I've been waiting on this moment, personally. Yeah. I grew up... We're going to get into topic number two. But topic number two, I wanted to talk about gaslighting yourself. Okay. Because we always talk about other people gaslighting us. But I think people never really talk about how sometimes we gaslight ourselves out of opportunities or... out of doing certain things in life.
So, like, what do y'all think about gaslighting yourself? Do y'all think that that's something that people actually do? Well, I think we definitely gaslight ourselves out of situations. And I also think we gaslight ourselves when people are dealing with us. Yeah.
So, I think sometimes, like, if you're in a relationship or a friendship or you're at work and you have a manager who is talking to you crazy and you're like... Well, you know, maybe he's stressed out or she's stressed out. And the only reason they're doing this is because, no, they're disrespectful as fuck. Yeah. And you need to check that shit.
I think a lot of times we make excuses for other people out of love or you feel like you need this job. But I think we need to stop staying in spaces where we aren't felt valued. And I know I did that. I stayed at TGI Fridays for 10 years. They didn't value me. Right. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? I think even at my job that I had, I was so good at my job and they fired me.
Remember I walked to your house in my little bit to the side flats?
Yeah.
