And this is just a podcast where we talk a modern living with daily topics with everyday topics, with a vintage Blair. And today we have a very special guest. Let me give you a little introduction. If you guys don't know, I run a South Florida meetup group. It's open to everyone and no membership required all body shapes and all types of people. And I do a calendar and I ask people to apply. And last year was our first year and have the honor of having ms. Jan, ms. January with me, she is the best way to kick off a year. She has a sass pazazz and the ass. And if you're watching us on YouTube, you'll see a picture here that I'm hosting holding and it's miss Susan sunshine. How was it shooting this shoot? It was super dope. It was a really, really, it was really, really dope. Um, it was my first photo shoot ever. I've never had professional photos done. So that was a real treat. Yeah, it was really great. And, um, Maddie, she was really, she was a photographer. She was so helpful. And you were so helpful to everyone was it was so great. That's exactly what I love to hear. Cause I really want to bring, I don't pick just models for this. Like nobody in that calendar has had professional modeling and um, even myself, I don't consider myself a professional model professional. Uh, it's a, it, I just love the happiness. Cause there was a lot of people's first and they were crying cause they felt like they were beautiful. July was her first two when she lost a lot of weight. And so it really meant a lot for her to do it. So every year I'm going to be doing it and you could apply. Yes. Everyone apply everyone. Please. It's a great experience. Um, it wasn't too long of a day, but it was long, but it was like the greatest day ever. And there was snacks, snacks and wine. I forgot about and depend on one weekend. Cause I split up the mine six months, one weekend in six months and next cause these are all done in studio. Um, I dunno, one weekend was very lit[inaudible] yeah. And my phone and my phone didn't break. I had a beautiful video of her dancing. If your photo shoots singing Lizzo, but that's gone. Yeah. It's gone forever. It's a memory. It's a memory of you were there, you know it had for him, it was super nice. And I'm so happy that people like nobody had a complaint that I know of. No, it was really great. Tell me the secrets behind the scenes. Huh? What do people say, Jen? She did not provide enough snacks. There could have been more. There's a lot of snacks. So many left leftover. Bernie provided a lot of sandwiches and chips and, and then if you came on the weekend that the girl brought cookies, you could have taken a cookie home.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. But they were, they were like fancy cookies and like, she was like, they're hard and she wasn't lying. She wasn't, they were, they were like props, um,
Speaker 1:For December, right? Yeah. Call me sweetie. She does. She goes around the U S or international national. And she teaches you how to create art.
Speaker 2:Yeah. She's so talented and she makes me so hungry and those cookies. Yeah, they were hard, but I put them in coffee and I said, this is what I'm this is what's going to be okay. I'm going to eat this cookie. I'm determined.
Speaker 1:And then the cover, uh, I shot with a big ass Flamingo and people think it was Photoshop or something, but it actually was this big it's true to size.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Podcasting is an audio medium. So if you can't see the Flamingo huge yet go on the YouTube one or by the calendar or by the calendar or also use your imagination. It's like, unless you use your It's terrifying, but also really, um, dope.
Speaker 1:It's such an honor to have ms. Susan sunshine here, ms. January and talking about both flamingos. Talk about some big stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm big. My body is,
Speaker 1:And I'm big too. So we're big together.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Another word that starts to be is burlesque. Oh yeah. So tell me burlesque, if you don't know what burlesque is, cause I'm sure a lot, some of the people that follow me don't know where burlesque is. Tell me what is burlesque and what is a burlesque? What is it? You call yourself
Speaker 2:An aspiring or less dancer. Performer. Um, okay. So burlesque is the art of the tease. So, um, people don't like to think it's stripping, but it's stripping. I think it's um, yeah. Or like it's just, it's just, I mean, elevated is probably a nice word, but also it's just stripping, stripping as a bad, regardless. I'm like, I'm here for strippers. I'm pro ho I'm pro I love it. Whatever you're doing. Like, I love it for you. But um, so yeah, I'm an aspiring burlesque performer. Um, which means I just think about it a lot. I think, Oh, Hey, I'm going to do that eventually in the future when the future arrives, I'm not sure, but I see it. I see it for myself and I've been working on costumes and um, for me, it's really a way to express myself that I think even though I haven't started yet, I started like making routines and stuff. Um, but because I'm a bigger body, um, and fat is a word that I'm not afraid to, to describe myself. Um, I really want to express myself and my body in a way that I think is beautiful. And again, I guess the word of the day is dope.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Own fat too. I mean, if you use it yourself and you know what it is in a positive way, I mean, you can't let other people mentally make it feel in your head. That it's a bad word.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. We were saying like, Oh, when people are like, Oh, um, if, or if like we say, Oh, I'm fat, I'm fat. And then people are like, no, you're beautiful. And you're like, they both all the time, like it's like the fat is just descriptive word of who I am. I'm very much a love.
Speaker 1:Can you imagine people saying, Oh, you're skinny. So you must be beautiful. I've seen some ugly skinny people.
Speaker 2:Beautiful. But I'm just saying exactly. That's so accurate. So yeah,
Speaker 1:My parents will say, Oh, Hey, if you lost a little way, you'd be pretty dirty.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty right now. Okay. So absolutely.
Speaker 1:You see, you know, that used to get to me, you know, your own people, you know, growing up and they tell you all the time, these things is, it really does bring you down. And it's not only my parents, other family members, but then when you don't eat, they're like, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah. And so we're both from, we're both like what? You're Cuban, I'm Jamaican. I don't know these portions that we be serving in our, um, cookouts or I'm like, okay, you talk about how I'm fat, but what do you do? You're the problem. But you're also feeding me. I mean, I'm gonna eat it,
Speaker 1:But then if you ever want to eat half, cause you want to try to lose weight, they'll be like, bro, are you starving? Are you sick? Or
Speaker 2:No, I'm saving it for later. That's so true.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It just,
Speaker 2:It's not, it's not cool. Like, um, I'm proud to be in my little fat body. My, my little fat body
Speaker 1:Enjoy your own body. Who else is going to enjoy it for you, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, girl. Exactly, exactly. And like, it's not going to be easy. Like even now I still have even issues. Just like thinking like, Oh no, my food on stage. You know, I think about it all the time and I'm like, girl, just do it. Don't stop. Keep believing. And if you're listening to this and you're thinking about it, girl, do it, boy, do a person do it that you like, you're living in your body. The confidence sometimes go up and down. But,
Speaker 1:And not even with Jesper less, because even when I go to other events, I get a lot of girls that are big. That follow me online. I eat when I first started, like when I went to Viva East, that's up in Massachusetts and a lady, she really changed my life. She came up to me and I didn't know who she was. And, but she knew who I was. And she said, you know, you really inspire me because you're a big girl and you wear these outfits that are really out there, but yet you own them. And it's really inspired me to just be me too. And, and that's what I really love. And, and I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true. And it really inspired me to, you know, I have a platform and I really want people to feel, you know, the way I am now is not how I was growing up. Like I said, like even my own family would say things, imagine strangers, but it really hurts the people close to you say things. Cause then you start believing it because you trust them. And this is why I worked so hard to have my own house and to have my own place because I needed to get away from them. And that's when I finally started realizing, but we only got one life. I say bro, a lot. Cause I'm from Miami or you guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I say pero, like I haven't been in Miami in so long, but I still say, Oh, apparel, like, uh,
Speaker 1:That's like the American version of that Lake.
Speaker 2:What? Like, Oh yeah, very, um, what's the word? When you do stuff and you can't not do them addictive. I'm addicted to saying parallel. Like pero, like that's so sad.
Speaker 1:Another thing with a, you know, breaking stereotypes is, uh, uh, you play, Oh my gosh. Why am I blanking now? Board games, right?
Speaker 2:Yes. I'm a nerdy black girl. I'm so nerdy. Um, yeah. So, um, Dungeons and dragons. That's the game for me. That's where, that's where I'm at. I used to be on a Dungeons and dragons podcast. I'm going to call it D and D because every time I say dungeon and dragons, it's very, um, so I was in a D and D podcast.
Speaker 1:Remember Lesko, it sounds like something kinky.
Speaker 2:Oh, my podcast was called. I say my, it was a group of ladies, um, three girls, one dungeon and it
Speaker 1:No relation to two girls and one cup, no relation.
Speaker 2:She has nothing to do with that. She's a nice wholesome podcast. Unfortunately it's not like a finished podcast. So if you do listen to this and then want to listen to that, um, the adventure didn't finish, but it was still fun to be a part of the adventure in real life. Um, but I think everyone in the world should play D and D it is the best game or the best a hundred experience. It's an expense.
Speaker 1:I'm going to put you on the spot here. Name three reasons why I should even consider playing. Do you have on the top of your hands?
Speaker 2:I'm like what? So many reasons, okay. You get to live an alternative life. I, I kind of, you get like pick a character and like kind of live as them. And I think that's dope. Um, that's reason number one. Um, too, you could, what can you do? You get to roll dice. And that sound is very fun. The sound of day.
Speaker 1:Well, I've seen people make their own dice with resin.
Speaker 3:That sounds really fun.
Speaker 1:That's all I know about D and D is tick tock. I see everyone making out of resin, dices, and then, but they have to calibrate it and make sure it's a certain weight. You'll lean on one side or the other. That's all I know about.
Speaker 2:We don't want any cheating cause you have a 20 sided die. Huh?
Speaker 3:Oh my God. I want to make my own.
Speaker 2:Okay. Yes. So dice and then another third reason. Um, it's very fun. It's no game is the same. So every time you play with the different dungeon master, even if you're going with the same storyline, which D and D provides like their own books of like a story and like a map and everything and make up your own, you can also make up your own. If you're done your masters really don't yes. I will not be the dungeon master. I don't know who will be, but that's happening. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Goth panel. We just have different genres of panel. We can create a little battles.
Speaker 2:This is okay. I'm envisioning this. I'm putting it in my head.
Speaker 1:I have no idea how to play Dungeons and drag. This will be a real tree. I'm down to dress up. Any excuse to dress up.
Speaker 3:I haven't just up yet. So well, if you do this, we're dressing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We're dressing up. Yeah. And it'll be recorded.
Speaker 1:It will be recorded on the live stream on Twitch.
Speaker 3:Oh yes.
Speaker 1:I know everything about technology
Speaker 3:And man,
Speaker 1:Which though I got it once and I was like, Oh, but then I realized everything is gaming or very sexy. So I know some of the cosplay or girls there are
Speaker 2:Sexy is a word to describe. Yes, that is
Speaker 1:Correct. They don't stick. Talk a lot. I don't know. Well, do you cause please.
Speaker 2:So I've only cost played once and that was Martha from doctor. Who do you watch? Dr. Who ever. Okay. So like it's a show. Yeah. So she's one of the characters, but they're like normal. They're not like fun characters. They're people. So I just dress like a person. And if you knew, like you would know, but I haven't done any like really fun cosplay.
Speaker 1:I want to get into it. Somebody said to me, good at it. You would be super dope,
Speaker 2:Girl. You own a sewing machine. That means you're going to be good. Sign machine check, check. That's it. That's the only,
Speaker 1:I don't know. I try, I'll try to be any character with, with yellow hair. I wasn't Jenica once for an eighties party. I was a pinup Angelica and I ruined my friend, Victoria. I think, you know, Vicky. She works at NASCAR.
Speaker 2:Yes. I love Vicky. Wait, so you were Angelica from Rugrats? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I had the, I just Googled like yellow characters.
Speaker 2:Can you be Cynthia? Her doll. Sylvia's really, really cool dancing.
Speaker 1:It would be cool. I could like do like those tech talk videos. Now I'm watching a lot of talk videos, but there's this video that you lay your hair down and just hairspray on. So it stands up, but I'll adjust
Speaker 2:Cynthia, please. I need you to be Cynthia. I love Cynthia from Oregon.
Speaker 1:I'm talking about the Angelica version where she had come over to hairspray my hair up.
Speaker 2:I will be their number one.
Speaker 1:So what, how do you feel about, you know, we're talking about burlesque and being big and owning being fat and being women in, in the game world. So all of these though, that is predominantly men. So you've been the minority and all it, a lot of things. But when it comes to, do you think there's a big representation in play?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Cause play, I would consider cause play to be what you're saying, you know, being a character, but I see a lot of women that are in a confusing it for sex and I know sex sells. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2:And I'm here for that. I really don't. I don't mind. I'm like boobies, whatever booty show at girls. But you consider that cosplay too. Yeah. I mean like if that's what the character is wearing, it's sometimes I can play to, like, I wouldn't wear that, but like I love it for, I know I love it for you. So, um, I, if it's a character then yeah, I really don't care. Sometimes people take like a sexy version of a care,
Speaker 1:Like princess peach and
Speaker 2:Didn't have to make her too sexy. But I mean like you, you know,
Speaker 1:For me, I try to turn it. I want to, if I ever cause play, I want to turn characters into like a pinup stuff, because that's what I liked. Like when I did Angelica, what I did was I created a skirt and stuff and it was all pimp related because that's my comfort zone for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2:No, but going back to like the representation, I just wish that I feel like maybe what's represented is always like sexy cosplay and there's so much more to women cosplay than just being sexy. Women are really killing the game in cosplay. And I don't, I don't know if it's always shown equally. Um, but it's definitely male dominated. Um, the whole scene, even like just the nerdy scene in general, like my podcasts for D and D it all girls podcast, because we weren't seeing a lot of women in that, like an industry in that space. So we were like, we're going to be girls and we're going to be in it. And like I said, like that long, that adventure, unfortunately didn't finish, but I am trying to start a new D and D podcast that is mostly women of color. So, um, I'm black, the other person I'm looking to have she's black. Um, so hit me up for sure. And if you don't want to be in the podcast, we can just play normally. Yeah. Or anyone, you know, but really having women in the scene and having like just representation is I think really important. Cause I like to see myself and like the communities that I'm a part of, um, like burlesque, I want to see more black women in burlesque. Um, which means that more clubs need to book black burlesque, um, artists. And I just, I just love to see it. I just want to see a sea of everyone, you know, equally represented and that's like important to me too.
Speaker 1:Have you seen the Netflix series called Holly?
Speaker 2:No. What is it about? Is it good?
Speaker 1:Yes, it has to do with an alternate universe. But think about this. It's not like scifi is an alternate universe. If people didn't, if people went out of their way to let blacks and gays in Hollywood, it's pretty interesting. So instead of like the, the writers in, okay, in this, in this world, it's based off true stories, but the decisions they make are difference at the end, everything's diversified. I forgot the name of the net. I got, she's famous. The nanny from, from gone with the wind, with the actress name, she makes an appearance in that show because they're trying to cast this a gay writer, these two, well, one is gay and he's like, I'm never going to make it in the industry because I'm gay and I'm black, but he makes it in. And it's just like an alternate universe where yeah, there's a struggle for race, but people are willing to try. And I think that's the, that's what we all need to do, but you should watch the show and the actress is black and, and you know, it, um, instead of picking a white girl for the lead, they go with the director's girlfriend, that's black and she's like the best actress. And then they said there was this great scene where they see all the actresses like acting for the role. And you know, you could clearly tell that the black one is the best one, but they wanted to pick the white one. But then the white one knew that the black one was better. So she messed up on her own to give her a chance. So it was all like everyone working together cause they knew something was wrong and he wanted to make it better. It is a great idea. That's so great. But it's based on facts. So like it's well the choices are not quite no, I feel like that's very interesting. I'm going to watch is on Netflix. Yes. And the costumes. Oh we love costume design and I think Besame cosmetics. Like they use their lipsticks. Ooh. We love that. Also minority on, I think the owner's Latinex. We love that. We love to see that. I forgot her last name. Yes. Her first name is Gary and I love that her lipstick so called best Sammy kids.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I had somebody call me and then I, I think, uh, I'm going to buy this lipstick called[inaudible] and I'm like I said, I'm what's that list sounds so familiar. And then, and then she's like, see, I threw a be it's the gold pretty packaging. I'm like, you mean Besame girl, you're Hispanic. You should know.
Speaker 3:Oh,
Speaker 1:She's confusing me thinking that there's this not in the market. It's really pretty. Um, I like their setting powders. I haven't tried any of their products. I haven't tried their lipsticks, but I've heard. Good, good thing. They look pretty. I haven't heard good and bad, but yeah. What do you call it? I'm interested in their mascara, but it's like a little square. I heard it was just for aesthetics because it does not really. I mean, yeah, it's the old school way, but there's a reason why we moved on. I can't judge it because I haven't tried it. But sometimes I do think, and that's why everything I do is vintage dated, but modern because there's a reason why we're evolving and we try new products and the stuff that stays stayed and the stuff that doesn't go, which is little square mascara. That's not staying because they use it also for liner. But I can't, I've seen other girls do it on YouTube. Cause I was so intrigued us something new it's vintage-y but it doesn't come out as black, you know? And we need the blackest black, long liner. I can't have like a weak black, no weakness, any kind of crazy. And he used to cut. So let me see. Let me ask you, okay. You have burlesque games costly. Would you say that there is another Avenue that you wish was more diversified? Ooh. Be with fast. Oh my gosh. I'm coughing. I'm so sorry. I don't have Corona. Um, you know what music? So I grew up as like this little alternative girl. I was, I love rock. I still love rock music. It's my music of choice. And he took me to a great bar to lose her lounge. That's when everything goes, yeah, don't forget it. But I've been in the alternative scene for since middle school and now I'm 29. So for a while, and
Speaker 2:Um, I remember growing up, like the only representation I had for like black women, which is not accurate. There were other black people in the scene. I just didn't know. But it was like Fifi Dobson. Do you remember Phoebe Dobson?
Speaker 3:Should I do my impression of her?
Speaker 2:If you don't know PP Dawson, this won't make any sense, but if you do, I'm sure he'll be like, ma'am okay. She does not sound like that, but she also sounds exciting.
Speaker 1:I wrote a music video. I was a music video junkie. I still love music video,
Speaker 2:But no, like she's um, she was like a little pop punky, like Avril of mean ask. Um, but I loved her so much and I got deeper into the scene. I was like really into indie bands. My favorite band growing up and still is with Billy talent, which is like a punk band from Canada. If you know Billy talent, please be my friend. So they're my favorite band, but Tim probably does.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, he probably does.
Speaker 1:I talked to him about it once my boyfriend's into the sky. First of all, I thought Scott was, but no, apparently. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I learned that really quick dating my boyfriend. Cause he's like, I love scat and I'm like, Oh my God, me too. And then he puts on the what's guy really is, and I'm here. Like that's not there, but this is like, it's like reggae pop. That was misinformed. But Oh my God, it's about me. I'm putting myself out there.
Speaker 2:That is literally the best thing I've ever heard. Yes. We love sky. So I didn't always like sky. I used to hate sky. I was like, Scott is the worst. And then I went to college and I was like, Scott is not so bad. And I was friends with this local Scobie and they were really cute. And then I was like, okay. And then yeah, I like Scott. I can appreciate Scott a lot.
Speaker 1:Even though I only at one time was like, let's go to a Churchill's there is a scar Sunday or something. And then I really cause I wasn't with Tim at the time I was thinking it was that scar. Like I'm thinking like, uh, the movie funny face where she's all in black and I was wrong.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. We love Churchill's though. They have all the fun, um, hip and with it events, I have not been to a school night there though. Maybe go now that I know, I know now, you know, I went to a, it was after the, what was the event? The prom, the spring play. I went to Churchill's right after church. It was a bar in Miami churches. A bar
Speaker 1:Miami little Haiti. No.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes. Um, and it's like very good.
Speaker 1:It's known for his 30th bathroom.
Speaker 2:The bathroom is dirty. Don't ever go pee in the street. He anywhere else, other than the bathroom is going to be cleaner, do not freaking go in the bathroom.
Speaker 1:This is a random thing. I know I'm segwaying. I knew, I know somebody I'm not going to name names, but she did stuff in, she does make a fur and she used to do makeup. She does makeup and she used to do it for pornos.
Speaker 2:Ooh, hold on. There's technical difficulties. I'm going to keep working on my Fifi Dobson impression. Okay. Right there.
Speaker 1:So then there was this girl that she was a makeup artist and she said that she did porn in there. Not that she did it. She didn't make up for a porno that was filmed at Churchill's about some rockstars and that they had sex everywhere in, anywhere in that place. So just so you know,
Speaker 2:Um, Oh, Oh, okay. Well I will take that knowledge and um, keep it very close to
Speaker 1:Yeah. And I never seen a pool table there, but she said there was a pool table. Right.
Speaker 2:I've only been to Churchill twice. Oh my gosh. It's a great place. Um, it's just so good. It's just so dirty. But I went, you remember what I was wearing? Like this floral dress at the, at the spring, I'm going to go. It was so great. Um, I was, I'm going to go to this dirty Churchill's bar and I was so out of place, it was like a heavy metal festival that was happening. I'm sure everyone was breaking neck for you. They weren't. I was like, please, anybody, anyone love me here? No one to two people were like, I like your dress, nothing. Um, but I was very out of place, but I had a great time. I love heavy metal a lot.
Speaker 1:One time when one time I went with somebody and I saw these girls dressed up like very like bad-ass like soldiers, but they were like, let like fake leather up. I was like,
Speaker 2:We love that. I don't think damn.
Speaker 1:And I was here with my yellow hair and pink dress. I was the opposite fetish. Whoever changed the website.
Speaker 2:I am the leather daddies pink princess. Yeah. That sounds dope. I love like the juxtaposition of like here's leather people, leather people just like very cutesy pink.
Speaker 1:And I like how I sidetracked you, but you were talking about music. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah. Music I've been in the scene for while instruments. Yes I do. I played violin. My faith. I love that. You love the violin. That's my favorite. Um, I played violin, um, consecutively for about 10 years. I haven't played in a long time, but it's great. I play guitar very badly and I sing, even though that was the worst, we'd been opposite oppression. You're probably ever
Speaker 1:Judging your singing off and impressions
Speaker 2:BB ops. And if you listen to this, please, I don't mean it. I wonder what happened to her. She probably recorded it behind the music sheet. Let's investigate Bebe Dobson. She's married to this rapper in yellow Wolf. I don't know if you've ever heard of yellow. Never heard of him. I did look her up. I was like, what are you doing, girl? She's still making music. I think, I don't know. I don't know about 2020, but people Dobson wherever you are at, please let us know what you're up to.
Speaker 1:She inspired you in the little way you give her props. There were jabbing.
Speaker 2:Yeah. But music really shaped my life. Um, like I said, I was like alternative and um, it helped me, like I was like a little goth kid. Then I was a little scene kid. And then I dunno how it happened. But then I just got into rockabilly pimps and
Speaker 1:I thought it was a lot of people that are into the pinup, at least a close to one. I'm not everywhere used to like rock. Yeah. I mean, I feel like I was an exception, but not that I don't like rock, but I was mostly, I always admired the rock kids at school with those big pants, eyeliner and I couldn't do eyeliner at the time. I'm thinking like, how are these rock kids doing these liners? Because my eyeliner, the way I wear it now was inspired by a golf girl. I used to work with at toys. R us, what was it? College nine. Or like, like go like, like it was amazing, like into, was in the nose. And then so then from there I was like, and she even did the bottom and I was like, man, and then I did, then I found my own little way of high.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Which I really like. What eyeliner do you use?
Speaker 1:I use the Knicks, Matt.
Speaker 2:Really? Yes. It's always so nice. I'm going to,
Speaker 1:I swear by techniques all the time to see they'll notice me, but
Speaker 2:Next, where are you at? I'm not seeing you. I'm not hearing from you. I'm really not liking you.
Speaker 1:That would be like a dream collab with me and Nick. Yes. Because you're also very colorful and they have a lot of colorful stuff. Hey, next, next again. I'm going to say it again. Pronouncing it NYX. I dunno. It's kind of nix, right? It's called mix. When people don't call it next. I get very confused. Okay, good. It's not in white X. Next. I wanted to say thank you so much for being part of this podcast. You're in my early videos. So there might be a little glitch here and then, but I thank you so much for being a trooper and to everyone that's listening. That guy. I repeat all the time. I still appreciate it because it's something I really enjoy. Just getting people together and you know, and talking and talking because I'm pretty sure somebody out there is going through what you went through. Even though it might be a little different, it's still the same kind of feelings you get. It's mostly the feedings. Cause we all live in our own little bubble and it's what's in our head. Yeah. I like, and Jen, do people know your name is Jen? Yes. I never say her name, but people either call me peanut. Okay. So if I go to like a blogger events or something, they call me pin up and I go out of town. Like when I go to Viva East, my favorite experience was the second year when I went and I heard in the balcony, there's these, I love these guys. And they would yell like, so if I'm not in Florida, they call me Miami. You know, when I lived in Massachusetts, they call me Florida because I need to spend in Miami. And they're so good. I get along with the car guys. So I'm up there. They're really nice. That's dope, everyone. There was really nice, but you're really good at like, I really appreciate you bringing on community together. Like the only pinup community that I remember before you was an inclusive community, I should say also was knowing the few ladies that worked at Tatiana and I was, one of them
Speaker 3:Was
Speaker 1:So happy. I just thought of something, but that's for an off the podcast. Um, but yes you are truly, I appreciate you existing. To be honest. You really don't.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know what to say. That was what he knows. It's the truth. Y'all she really, when I tell you, she made like this whole community, like in South Florida, people who like pin up, she did the damn thing. Not saying there wasn't anything before, but you really, you did not give up. You were like, I'm going to brunch every month. I'm consistent. Even when nobody showed up, I was there when no one was there, which I'm queen of not fucking oops. I'm queen of not coming or being always late. I don't believe in clocks. I'm the worst. I'm so sorry. This is a character flaw, but she was there every, every time for everything. That's why this quarantine is killing me. I just know. But I'm trying. That's what I wanted to try. This podcast is new Avenue. And I also want, I also spent, uh, my own money buying a phone number. Cause I want people to reach out and talk. So I own one eight, three, three, four, eight pin up. You could text it with ideas. If you want to be on the show or you can leave a voicemail and I can figure out how to play it or show my phone right here. So you can do that and I'll answer it. If I'm awake, it'd be like that and make sure to follow me on my Instagram pin in Miami. If you want to see outfits, I make I'm on TechTalk. My website is miss pinup, miami.com. And if you want to follow Susan, cause if you're a gamer music, just want to talk to her. Be her friend. If you know that band that she knows it. I don't know Billy talent. Then follow her on Instagram at, Oh, my name, my Instagram name is Suzanne sunshine. S U S a N N. Sunshine. And you could, and you could watch this on YouTube. If you want to see a per her name here too. And thank you so much. I'm so excited. I hope you come back. Oh yes. I will come back. If you want me to come back, let, let it, let it grow. No. Okay.
