Hi,

0:07

I'm Chelsea Clinton. And this season on

0:10

in fact, we're celebrating Women's History

0:12

Month. I'll be talking with trailblazing

0:14

women at the top of their fields about their personal

0:16

journeys, the progress we've made, and how far

0:18

we still have to go. Today, we're

0:20

discussing women in the fashion industry with

0:22

someone who has her own brand, is unflinchingly

0:25

committed to designing sustainably, is

0:28

a fierce advocate, and my

0:30

dear friend, Stella McCartney.

0:33

At first glance, many would say fashion is a woman's

0:35

world. Women make up the vast majority

0:38

of major's at fashion schools and buyers of

0:40

fashion, and yet according

0:42

to the Business of Fashion, women run only

0:44

a few of the top fifty fashion brands, less

0:46

than fifteen of them iconic

0:49

brand or didn't have a female creative director

0:51

until Van She

0:53

didn't have one until and

0:56

as we often see in other industries, brands

0:58

tend to choose women supporting positions

1:01

creatively and on the business side, rather

1:04

than starring roles. But for more than

1:06

twenty years, Stella McCartney has been running

1:08

her own label, designing using environmentally

1:11

friendly practices and sustainable fabrics

1:14

from the very beginning Stell has not used leather,

1:16

any animal skin, feathers, or fur in her

1:18

designs, and she's looked to reduce waste.

1:21

Now she's pushing the entire industry

1:23

towards a higher standard of sustainable practice. As

1:26

Stella says, she is begging for government

1:28

regulation of the fashion industry, an industry

1:31

that accounts for roughly ten of the

1:33

world's annual greenhouse gas emissions and twenty

1:35

percent of wastewater. For

1:38

context, that's more than the entire shipping

1:40

and aviation industries combined.

1:43

Stella got her start in fashion at sixteen is

1:45

an intern at Christian Laqui. From

1:47

there, she went on to learn traditional men's tailoring

1:50

on Savo Row, and after finishing her design

1:52

degree at Central St. Martin's, she became the

1:54

creative director of the Parisian fashion

1:56

house Chloe. Just four years

1:58

later, before she turned thirty, Stella

2:01

left Chloe to launch her own house and a joint venture

2:03

with the Gucci Group, and showed her first collection

2:05

under her own name in the fall of two thousand

2:07

and one. Seventeen years later,

2:09

still A bought out her partners and still remains

2:12

the majority stakeholder of her brand of business

2:15

today. Stella McCartney's brand is

2:17

more than clothing for women. Encompasses

2:19

everything from women's in unisex ready to

2:21

wear, to accessories, to kids clothing,

2:23

to a performance wear, a collaboration with Adidas,

2:26

and this month, Stella's debuting

2:28

an outfit for the one and only

2:30

Many Mouse, after almost a century

2:33

wearing a dress, Many will be donning an

2:35

original deep blue Stella McCartney pantsuit

2:37

marking today's International Women's Day

2:40

and the thirtie anniversary of Disneyland

2:42

Paris. Stella,

2:46

thank you so much for joining me today.

2:49

I'm very, very honored to be here. I,

2:52

as you know, have long admired you for

2:54

so much, especially your commitment to sustainability.

2:57

I know you always wanted to be a designer,

2:59

but did you all always want to bring sustainability

3:01

into your designs. I knew

3:04

at a very young age that I wanted to be a fashion

3:06

designer, and I didn't

3:09

intentionally come

3:11

into my career in design

3:14

with sustainability at the kind of core of it.

3:16

I just wanted to be a fashion designer. I

3:18

went to Central St Martin's in London,

3:20

I studied, I just worked from day one

3:23

on on that kind of goal. But

3:25

I guess my point of difference and which

3:27

led me to the sustainability kind of piece

3:30

of my story was that I've

3:32

grown up as a lifelong vegetarian. I grew up

3:34

on an organic farm in England with

3:36

quite outspoken and change

3:39

agent parents. So I never ever

3:41

worked with fur or leather. And

3:43

where you told you had to, like when

3:45

you were at school or where you were a young designer,

3:47

did people say like, you are

3:50

narrowing yourself if you don't work with fur,

3:52

if you don't work with leather. I definitely

3:54

have had many moments in my career,

3:57

weirdly latter on in my career

3:59

when it is even more obvious

4:02

and ridiculous to suggest that I would

4:04

start using leather or fur, and I have had

4:07

people. Yeah, even one of my own previous

4:10

CEOs was like, look, if you know, if

4:12

we want to have a bad business, which is what every

4:14

luxury fashion house exists

4:16

upon, really you know, having considered working

4:18

with real leather, or might you do this or

4:20

might you do that? So it wasn't pointed

4:22

out to me that I had to do that, but it

4:24

is the rule of the industry that those are the

4:27

materials that you work with in certainly

4:29

in luxury, and they're kind of the backbone

4:31

of the business. Really, they're the business

4:34

drivers. So I always

4:36

knew that I was definitely stirring

4:38

up a little bit of controversy.

4:41

I was just kind of convinced that there was

4:43

another way that I could do it, and that

4:45

you wouldn't notice that my handbags

4:48

weren't made out of real leather or dead

4:50

animals, as the case may be, that you wouldn't

4:52

sacrifice the luxury or the design in

4:55

order to have a much more sort of kinder

4:57

and sustainable, loving product. And

4:59

you spoke about how even sometimes your own

5:02

CEO s would doubt you, and I'm

5:05

assuming it was probably a heat given

5:07

how much of the fashion industry

5:10

historically has been male dominated,

5:13

and certainly when you started out, you

5:16

were one of the only women at

5:18

the head of her own label. Where

5:20

do you think the fashion industry is today,

5:23

both on the creative side and the business

5:25

side for women. I'm sad

5:27

to say there's still very few female

5:30

design is, certainly with their

5:33

name on the door. Having said

5:35

that, there are millions of

5:37

extraordinary women behind

5:39

the scenes and side by side, working

5:42

and striving and building the business

5:44

of fashion. For sure, the majority

5:47

of my businesses women. In fact,

5:49

I was showing a friend around only yesterday

5:51

and I was like, Hey, meet all my girls, and I was like,

5:53

oh my god, are there any men on my floor? Is one

5:56

guy? You know, it's like, oh, oh, dear,

5:58

I should we get some more guys? And it is a

6:00

male world still. You know, a lot of

6:02

the seats at the table are taken

6:04

up by men. And it's not to say that

6:06

men aren't great and that men don't do a

6:08

fantastic job, but you know, there's definitely

6:11

a lot of work to be done in the business of fashion

6:13

for that level of equality really an

6:16

acceptance, which is strange considering

6:18

the majority of the businesses to dress women.

6:21

And so for me, one of my biggest privileges

6:23

and one of the things that really made

6:25

me want to be a fashion designer was to make

6:27

women feel better about themselves and

6:29

the privilege of being a woman designing for women

6:32

and having that deeper understanding of what

6:34

we needed and what we want. So, do

6:36

you think we've made any progress since

6:38

you started twenty years

6:40

ago in terms of women? Yeah,

6:42

I think we're making progress

6:45

in all fields because we are

6:47

now allowed to have this conversation, and it is

6:49

as we know, World Women's Month, and

6:51

these things are now very much they're

6:53

not to boo conversations. We don't have to be

6:55

embarrassed about the fact that we haven't

6:57

had equality in any form

7:00

really as women two men. And I think

7:02

that definitely in business now

7:04

people are much more aware of

7:06

having diversity, having a kind of much

7:08

cleaner standard in that sense.

7:11

So there is change, but I

7:13

think on the whole, if we're really going to be honest,

7:15

the majority of women are still not

7:18

in the room, and they're not even educated to get

7:20

in the room. They're not even allowed to leave the house

7:22

to get educated to be in the room. So there's

7:24

still a huge amount of work to be done,

7:27

sadly, And so when young designers

7:30

or kind of anyone in the creative

7:33

spaces that you inhabit come

7:35

and ask for advice, say,

7:38

you know, how do I get comfortable being

7:40

maybe the first and the only woman in the room.

7:43

What advice do you give Stella? Well,

7:45

I think it's such a fascinating question,

7:47

and I think that you know, I'm of a generation

7:50

where I was still slightly apologetic

7:52

for the fact that I was a woman, or I had to overcompensate.

7:55

I had to be more masculine in my board meetings.

7:57

I had to And did you dress that way too?

8:00

Think it affected how you dressed. No, it

8:02

didn't really affect the way I dressed, because I've always

8:04

had this kind of weirdly my work is

8:06

very much this play on the man and the woman.

8:08

So I have a ton of tailoring and I

8:10

have a ton of kind of more feminine pieces, and

8:12

it's that tension that I find personally

8:15

really interesting. But I do think there

8:17

was for sure a moment in my career

8:19

where my suits that were more inspired

8:22

by my work in Savoreau in London

8:24

and the years that I trained in making

8:26

men's suits where I was one

8:28

of the few designers that had that more

8:31

masculine kind of tailoring in their range,

8:33

and it was really liberating for women.

8:35

They would always tell me, especially women that are

8:37

in those traditional male lead

8:39

roles like in banking or financing or

8:41

law, they really loved

8:44

that they could wear those suits and it

8:46

wasn't like these kind of women's suits that they

8:48

had to wear a skirt. You skirt suits

8:51

and a kind of very conventional

8:53

look. But I definitely

8:55

as a woman in business in the business

8:57

of fashion, I have been very

8:59

many times in an awkward room situation

9:02

where I've been very aware of my gender and

9:04

having to either undercompensate, did,

9:06

in my light, overcompensate play

9:08

the role of being a more sort of girly girl.

9:11

I can definitely admit that, but I never

9:13

at any stage felt that it was

9:15

something that led any of my decision

9:18

making. If anything, it probably made

9:20

me a little more determined to prove people wrong.

9:22

It's funny. I was thinking, actually only yesterday

9:25

and I think, oh my god, did that really happen to me. I

9:27

remember when I was leaving a

9:29

job and I won't mention the job, and I

9:32

remember this guy who

9:34

was really really high up in this this

9:36

fashion firm, was trying to get me to

9:38

stay in the role, and I was like, no, look,

9:40

you know it's time for me to move on. I'm really excited

9:43

to do something else. And I kept timing

9:45

to say no, like that you wouldn't accept no for

9:47

an answer. So it took a few meetings and it

9:49

doesn't matter that was a guara woman that that happens.

9:52

But on the final meeting where I was like, look,

9:54

I'm so sorry, I'm really honored, but the answer

9:56

is no, and I'm going to move on. And as I

9:58

left, he he lookeally and said, you name me one

10:01

female designer that has her

10:03

name on the door. You name one female

10:05

designer that has a brand. And

10:07

I remember getting so far like,

10:09

I'm so furious that he dared

10:12

to say that that I mentioned a

10:14

handful of In fact, he said, name me one

10:16

British female designer, and

10:18

there are a lot less, you know, I

10:20

have to admit, but it just really

10:22

put fire in my belly. And actually I kind

10:24

of can say I can almost thank

10:26

him for being so ridiculously

10:29

outdated and stupid.

10:32

In fact, it actually I thank him for that

10:34

because it could have fire in my belly.

10:37

Not everyone Stella would have the resilience

10:40

to be inspired by that horrific

10:43

sexism. For some women, they

10:45

might have had a different reaction and might have

10:47

gotten smaller instead of

10:50

larger. I feel very privileged

10:52

and proud to be a woman that's founded

10:55

a fashion brand that's still here, and

10:57

that's founded on great ethics

10:59

and is a conscious brand and a

11:01

kind brand, and at the same time hopefully

11:04

a really cool, fashionable, edgy, dreamy

11:06

brand. I feel very much the responsibility

11:09

of being a woman that employs other

11:11

women. A lot of the women that worked for me a

11:13

mother's they're bringing home also,

11:16

you know, the majority of the wage packet. And

11:18

so it is a really fascinating moment

11:20

I find in my business talking to my

11:23

teams about things like that, we'll

11:27

be right back, stay with us, And

11:41

you don't just feel responsible for your team,

11:44

You feel responsible, I think it's fair to say

11:46

for your industry, and you know, and part of

11:48

that responsibility is manifested in

11:51

helping mentor others in sustainability

11:54

and that it isn't actually necessary

11:56

to use leather to design beautiful handbags.

11:58

But also and saying that the fashion

12:01

industry itself needs to be regulated.

12:03

Why do you think that's important? Policies

12:06

is critical because we're one of the most

12:08

responsible industries for climate

12:10

damage and we have a massive negative

12:13

impact on the environment, and there is no policing

12:16

of the industry. And so I'm a huge advocate

12:19

of trying to encourage policy

12:21

change, encouraged incentives for

12:24

young designers or even established design

12:26

houses to actually be more sustainable.

12:29

What does that look like? You know, I at the

12:31

moment, I'm penalized for working in the

12:33

way that I work. So for example, I take a

12:35

non leather good into America

12:37

and I'm charged tax

12:40

just on that non leather bag, for example, Whereas

12:43

if I put a sliver of pig

12:45

leather onto the same bag, the

12:47

tax disappears. So I'm actually

12:49

penalized for working in this way. And

12:52

you hundred and fifty million trees are

12:54

cut down a year for ray On, and I don't think

12:56

most people know that, even people in my industry

12:58

don't know that. I think most people I think Rayon is made

13:00

out of plastic or out of synthetic

13:03

yarm, but it's made out of wood pulp. And

13:05

so you know, we at Stella have taken three

13:08

years to source a sustainable

13:11

wood fiber in Sweden and take that same

13:13

fiber, which is sustainable, to the same mills.

13:16

I'm really invested in the side

13:18

of the business that is really trying to create

13:20

solutions. I have to apologize to

13:22

everyone listening to this for the amount of dog barking

13:24

that will happen as a working

13:26

mother. The children are

13:28

coming home and the dogs are barking. So you

13:31

know, at least we're keeping it real over here in London always,

13:34

But there is so much work to be done

13:37

in the fashion industry, the sourcing that

13:39

I do, acquaints for the

13:41

positive impact that I have environmentally,

13:44

and so, you know, I have so much knowledge

13:46

and I want to share that, and I am sharing that

13:48

with so many people in other companies. But if

13:50

we don't have a level of policy change, and

13:52

if we don't have very

13:55

simple laws and legislations coming

13:57

into just as they do in the automobile

14:00

industry, we know that cars are going electric, we

14:02

know that they have a timeline to do so we

14:04

know that the car companies wouldn't be going

14:06

electric if it were not for those rules and

14:08

regulations and laws, and you know they

14:11

will get penalties if they don't reach that guideline.

14:14

Similar things like that do need to come into my

14:16

industry and it will only

14:18

help the industry and certainly help

14:20

the future generations on Earth. And

14:23

this is something you're talking about not just in your country,

14:25

but also here in the United States and on a global

14:27

stage. Yeah, Oh, it's it's

14:29

an absolutely a global issue. And last

14:32

year I went to the G seven summit, and I

14:34

was with your president and with many other world

14:37

leaders, and actually only two women in

14:39

the room other than myself. The Queen and

14:41

merkel Um but and

14:45

there were a lot of people talking about

14:47

aviation and about

14:49

energy and all these different huge industries

14:51

that have a really big part to play in the

14:53

environment. I was there as the one of these

14:56

few people actually that owned

14:58

a company that was in the business and

15:00

representing the fashion industry, and I

15:02

sort of said to him when I was like, you know, it is easier

15:04

to set a regulation on an aviation.

15:08

You know, on aviation there's maybe six, seven,

15:10

ten brands that you're having

15:12

to put into line. I feel like

15:14

there's billions of fashion brands. There's so

15:17

many, and obviously fast

15:19

fashion is a killer. Every single second

15:22

a chuckload of fast fashion is burnt or

15:24

buried, sometimes worn maximum

15:26

three times before it's just discarded,

15:29

which actually equates to like five billions

15:32

worth of waste. But these numbers,

15:34

these are business opportunities. This is like where

15:36

we can create an inspire brand, new recycling

15:39

businesses, renting businesses. There's

15:42

so many amazing things that can come

15:44

of this problem that we have. But

15:46

we definitely need to support from governments

15:49

to unite the industry well.

15:51

And certainly I hope if any kind

15:53

of young aspiring designers are listening.

15:55

They will take you seriously at your

15:57

mention of what an opportunity there should

15:59

be. I think the young designers now it's

16:01

a given. No, you can't walk into

16:03

a room and expect to be supported

16:07

or be invested in if you don't have some

16:09

kind of sustainable story. It

16:11

is the youth that will solve these

16:14

problems, I hope, but they have to

16:16

have the support of government. There has to be some

16:19

form of game changing going

16:22

on to really help this next generation

16:24

of designers or just business people.

16:26

You know, there are so many different facets

16:28

of the fashion industry. It's one of the

16:30

few industries that kind of touches on every

16:32

industry. We're

16:37

taking a quick break, stay with us

16:51

well. An area that your fashion has

16:53

touched recently is mini mouths, which

16:56

I was incredibly excited to see, partly

16:58

because my children are little

17:00

younger than your children, so we're kind of right

17:02

in any and everything Disney

17:05

related. And so I just so

17:07

curious still it you designed a pant suit

17:09

for her. How did that come about?

17:12

Why do you think it's important that Minnie is wearing a pant

17:14

suit at this moment in time. It's

17:17

to celebrate International Women's Month,

17:20

and it is a collaboration between myself and

17:22

Mini. Essentially, she told me what

17:24

she wanted. She was fed up of wearing dresses

17:26

as a rule, and we got together. We

17:28

had a couple of late nights. She likes

17:31

to drink very good red wine. I found out

17:33

great something else we haven't come in a couple of tequila

17:36

shots, and we came up with this pants suit. Um

17:39

No, it was just a moment to celebrate

17:41

change and celebrate really during

17:44

the line in the sand. It's just such

17:46

a ridiculous kind of historical

17:50

you know, she wears the heels and the

17:52

skirt and the guy wears the pants, you know, and

17:54

that it isn't the case as we know anymore,

17:57

and it certainly isn't the case anymore with many I'm

18:00

very proud to say, became

18:02

up with a few options. It turned

18:05

out that the polka dots kind of fitted into

18:07

her world, and I

18:09

just wanted to kind of mute it down and have these

18:11

beautiful blues and blacks

18:13

and I think slightly modernized her wardrobe,

18:16

but also to keep it cheek and timeless.

18:18

I think that's the important part of this kind

18:20

of project. And so, do

18:22

you have a hope for what the impact will be. Well,

18:25

I kind of love that everyone was super angry

18:27

about it. I didn't see that coming at all,

18:29

so I was thrilled. I have to say

18:32

that everyone was so up in arms and

18:34

hugely disturbed that minis

18:36

and pants. Your mother was very supportive

18:39

and that was very sweet of her. But

18:41

I'm glad it got the attention because it's

18:43

for the right reasons. And you know, the fact that it would

18:45

even be of conversation

18:48

is quite mind blowing to me now. But

18:50

you know, mini mouths and trousers, is

18:52

that revolutionary? I remember a

18:55

few years ago when also a lot

18:57

of people, at least on the internet,

19:00

we're very upset when a black

19:02

actress was cast as Ariel

19:04

and the live action Little Mermaid.

19:07

God, I can't marry. I mean, it

19:09

was really even surprising

19:11

to me how many people were attached to the

19:13

lily white, redheaded cartoon

19:16

version of Ariel from the late

19:18

nineteen eighties, whereas I was always

19:21

more upset that she gave her voice away

19:23

for a man. So again

19:26

one of those moments where I was like, oh, we are upset about

19:28

different things. Yeah, you know,

19:31

we have so far to go, and it's

19:33

sad Really, I realized now more

19:35

than ever how liberal my upbringing

19:38

was and how there's no judgment,

19:40

and that was probably the greatest privilege

19:42

that I grew up with open minds and open

19:45

hearts, and I mean, there

19:47

isn't anything better than that, right. Evolution

19:49

takes longer than we think. Sadly,

19:52

Ideally we're all evolving, but sometimes it feels

19:55

like we are collectively devolving. We've

19:57

talked about the fashion industries impact

20:00

on the environment and responsibility hopefully

20:03

to having a more kind of positive impact

20:05

in the future. But now you know, more than

20:07

twenty years into helming, you

20:09

know your own brand. What do you think the

20:12

industry's responsibility is towards how

20:15

women but also men see

20:17

themselves and how young women

20:20

and young men think about their bodies,

20:22

think about the space that they

20:24

take up in the world, hopefully in a positive

20:26

sense and not in a negative one.

20:29

Well, hey, you know, I think that comes back to me

20:31

being a mother of four kids,

20:33

two boys, two girls, and

20:35

that's where it hits home for me the most. There

20:39

are two sides. There's no doubt

20:41

that we still have so much work

20:44

to do, and there's no doubt that we're not deeply

20:46

insecure, fragile creatures.

20:49

I think humans are the

20:52

weirdest animals on earth. And

20:54

you know, the other animals are kind of kicking

20:56

it back, and they're they're kind of going

20:58

with what comes in that truly to them.

21:01

And we're just disrupting and interrupting

21:03

and damaging so many things.

21:05

And we live in a day and age where there is a

21:07

lot of information and it is being

21:11

funneled to us in a variety

21:13

of manners also, and we're

21:16

insecure. We've been told we

21:18

will feel better about ourselves mentally

21:21

and emotionally if we look better, or

21:23

if we can fit into these genes, or we can

21:25

walk down the street and have something to look at us in a certain

21:27

way. We can get x amount of likes on

21:29

on our devices, and we

21:32

live in this day and age that is heightened.

21:34

It's it's very, very heightened. And for

21:36

me, the main main thing is trying to encourage

21:39

definitely a quality. You know, when I'm at

21:41

home around the kitchen table, opening

21:44

up uncomfortable conversations, checking

21:46

in with people and checking in with my customers

21:49

and sort of saying, look, how are you feeling? How can it make

21:51

you feel better? Like all I want to do is make you

21:53

feel better about yourself, you

21:55

know, and that really is the key. I

21:58

think talking is iCal and

22:01

I'm even I'm as bad as anything. I'm addicted

22:03

to my device. It's more work related, I have to

22:05

admit, But you know, the idea to

22:07

actually kind of reduce our time on

22:10

these things and take more time to

22:13

be together as families and communities

22:16

and help each other, you know. I think being

22:18

kinder is a great start. I like to

22:20

think that we're a kind brand at

22:22

Stella McCartney. I think it can

22:24

be cool to be kind. I think it has to be.

22:27

It's the only way forward. Still,

22:29

the last question, is there kind of

22:31

one statistic or fact about

22:34

women kind of in fashion that

22:36

you find either inspiring

22:39

about how much progress has been made

22:42

or enraging about how

22:44

much progress has yet to be

22:46

made. I found out recently

22:48

that of businesses in the US

22:51

are women owned. So there's

22:53

sort of statistics like that that start

22:55

to fill you with just great

22:57

hope and encourage you. And you know, you know that

23:00

that must have only just happened. Is

23:03

huge, and I'm sure only moments ago

23:06

it was twenty or ten or five or zero,

23:08

So I think heading in the right

23:10

direction is so encouraging. And

23:13

I think we all know that the next

23:15

generations of young women now are

23:17

watching, They're eager. They

23:19

feel much more permission, I think, to

23:22

own it. I mean, I definitely see

23:24

that in my own daughters, there's no question. But

23:27

you've got to believe in yourself and you've got to get in that room.

23:29

You've got to fight. You have got to fight

23:31

still. For every great statistic

23:34

you here are every really encouraging kind

23:36

of story that you you get hold of, there's

23:39

another one in the back of the room that's like reminds

23:41

you that we've still got a lot to

23:43

do. I love that with such fans

23:46

of women, I absolutely I'm sure I'm not allowed

23:48

to swear on this podcast, but I absolutely

23:51

love women. I think we're the fucking

23:53

goolest. But you know, the other thing

23:55

is I love men too. Like you know, I don't want

23:57

my sons to feel alienated from the conversation

24:00

or feel guilty, like feel bad when they haven't done anything,

24:02

but I do always whenever the conversation

24:04

comes up, I'm still in the corner

24:06

of like, you know what, guys, I'm sorry

24:08

if if anyone has to take

24:10

the bullet for what happened in the past, but

24:13

it's still going on to levels

24:15

that you just have no idea. I

24:17

work on a lot of kind of women's charities

24:19

with violence, and just globally it's

24:22

dark. You know, there's a lot of darkness going

24:24

on still for women. So we just can't forget it

24:26

when we're sitting in a culture

24:29

that it has moved forward at a greater speed.

24:31

Thank God, well still,

24:34

thank you, thank you for your time today, but

24:36

most of all, thank you for proving

24:39

what's possible for women in fashion, for

24:41

sustainability in fashion, for

24:43

many Mouse. I'm incredibly grateful

24:45

for your time, especially given the dog barking

24:47

and the children ground apologize

24:50

for the doors slamming and they never have to apologize

24:53

for like, there's nothing glamorous over here. I

24:55

might be in fashion, but there ain't no glamor involved.

24:59

And here's too old of the women this month,

25:01

go kick us girls, amen.

25:11
