Love is in the Details ft. Mindy Weiss

What's wrong Alexa? Oh, okay. She's...
Oh, my nipples. Oh, they'll go away soon.
It's fine. You can show your nipples.
Well, Kim is selling the nipple bra, so... I mean, I drive people nuts.
The people who work with me, they want a work-life balance. But if you're going into my business, you have to know that we answer the phone at midnight.

You have such a connection to pretty much all of your clients.

I kind of have to be a chameleon for some because I would never let them know how I really feel.

Right. Yeah.

Everyone says, when are you retiring?

But I love competition.

It's better than sex for me. Well, I am so excited to have you on today.
So Mindy Weiss has been a part of my family for decades and I'm not exaggerating. It's true.
Decades and decades. Yes.
Before you were born. Yeah.
I was just going to say that. Yes.
You, and correct me if I'm wrong because my mom sometimes exaggerates, but my mom said that you threw her baby shower for Courtney. Yes.
Yes. I think that was the very first thing that I, no, the very first thing I did was your dad and mom's wedding invitation.
Oh, my gosh. Yes.
That was the very first. I worked at this very chic, small stationery store.
Which is one of the things that you and I have a passion about. Paper.
Paperholics. And I worked there designing stationery invitations.
And your mom came in and she was getting married and when was that the 70s yes yeah sure no 80s no because courtney was born in 79 oh so so i'm assuming they got married before but scandalous who knows so you're right i always thought it was eight but you're right. I always thought it was eight, but you're right.
Yeah. She was born 79.
And whenever, and then you not only are throwing my mom's baby showers for us, but now you throw all of our baby showers. And it's completely full circle.
Weddings and birthdays, everything. Yeah.
You are, you are the end all to be all in my eyes but not only are you this insane party planner but i feel like you have such a connection to pretty much all of your clients i have you know if you're planning and doing things that are so intimate that's where the connection comes in it's not everyone's like that Right. So I kind of have to be a chameleon for some because I would never let them know how I really feel.
Right. Yeah.
No, I get it. And you're dealing with people in high emotional situations.
The most. The most.
Either there could be a wedding or a death or whatever that you're planning and people don't realize we do that too right but you realize you do anything and everything yes i can be i'm having a fancy sleepover and you'll be like okay we'll set it up like you literally will do anything and everything it's and set tables which the people work with me they look at me like why why are you doing that I go it's part of the job but I've done it long enough 35 years so I I'm in it and I realize that you know I do need more life and a little less work but it's all I know well I feel I know everything about you, but I don't know if my listeners and viewers do. So I would love for you to take me back and tell me a little bit about yourself and how you got into event planning.
This business. Well, it was never part of my trajectory to be into this business.
I to college in san diego i wanted to marry someone wealthy not work wear an apron in the kitchen and be that person so this was not the plan this is the complete opposite because you are a workhorse who knew i mean i wasn't you know my parents my father worked i was like that family my mother didn't, you know, my parents, my father worked. I was like that family.
My mother didn't work. You know, she played cards and, you know, and, you know, entertained.
Gin rummy. Yes.
Yeah. Canasta and all that.
Oh, my gosh. And I would sit there and make the house pretty for that.
But my parents gave the most creative parties. Oh, wow.
So it was in my blood. Like, you'll love this.
For my sweet 16, now I'm so embarrassed. And when I tell people, oh, my God, what did my mother do? But I was obsessed because I never had boobs.
So I was always saying, oh, she thought it was funny. And in those days, she was very funny.
You know, the Playboy Club had little clubs. Yes.
Like they would have the Soho. You know, how we have Soho.
And they were the chicest. Yes.
They weren't. They were these very cool, exclusive.
Yes. You had these cards and it was just a big deal.
she decided to give my sweet 16 at the playboy club no literally the bunnies had mindy's sweet 16 sashes yes and like the invite says but i want everyone to know it that wasn't raunchy it was so classy and it was think about like sinatra right era and very mad men yes very but you know when i look back on it now and i'm looking at my sweet 16 pictures and there's oh yes breasty women with my name on their chest and my cake was a torso So wait, I love your mom. Oh, no, she that everything was funny.

Yeah, everything. with my name on their chest and my cake was a torso wait i love your mom oh no she that everything was funny everything and very creative and so i met i've been married twice my first husband was the one that you know he was wealthy and cute and everybody wanted to marry and i got I got him.
Really great guy. But he didn't want me to work.
He was in the produce business. So he had strange hours.
But I had to work. I worked in a bakery when I was 10.
But I gained 15 pounds and I had to quit. But, you know, that was in me and I got a job at this little stationery store called William Ernest Brown.
And that is where I met your mother, Joyce. Sheila.
Sheila. Yes.
The whole gang. Oh, my gosh.
And I would do, I don't know if you're Arlene Cranes. Yes.
Like all of them. Of course.
And I would do all their invitations and my who is now my best friend like my sister was my boss she hired me and we would do all these parties and your mother would come in she to do the birth announcements yes oh my god we have the k names and it was a whole thing and every time we go you're pregnant again like you know and i remember when rob because it was a boy finally i know my birth announcement because back in those days they didn't have the ultrasounds to see the gender right of the baby and my dad this is probably for any any man but my my dad being Armenian, like you had to have a son. And so they were having kids until they had a son.
And so my birth announcement is baby blue and it says, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. And you open it and it's a girl.
But it's almost like, oh, it's a girl. Like I was like, what? Like this is so rude.
And we would wait because everyone would come in ahead of time and pick a boy one and a girl one so we would wait for the call right and you know we go it's a girl it's a girl yeah and then they had a rob and they stopped until my mom remarried but chloe was a unique name like with the k yes yes Yes. Yes.
I can't remember five minutes ago, but you, I can remember everything about going to your mom's house and Kim was braiding my hair and your mom had this sunglass drawers that were lined in. Of course she did.
in this heart pattern.

Yes.

I remember it.

That was wallpaper. She had pajamas.

She had everything, the heart paper.

I can't remember the

name.

There was one event, and then I want to also

get back, but there was...

I don't remember what birthday for my mom,

but Kimberly is so creative with thinking. It sentimental things too very yeah um she's really really good at that and there was one year we had this house called um it was on tower lane and it was the house we grew up in and my mom and my dad were married there us four were well courtney was born in born in another house.
They moved like six months later. But essentially, we all grew up in that house.
And Kim talked to Mindy and said, for my mom's birthday, I want to have lunch at Tower, at Tower Lane. Somehow, you and Kim managed to convince this gentleman that we should have my mom's birthday lunch in his backyard.
And we had this house in the 80s. And so in the 80s and 90s, but in the 80s was the era of wallpaper and matching your wallpaper to the drapes.
And this is not like a neutral wallpaper. It's the most chaotic, crazy printed wallpaper.
But I remembered i remembered the wallpaper of course you did i remembered it it was like stuck in my head it was very popular that wallpaper but it was the wallpaper i think it was the headboard and the drapes at the time and mindy somehow found the exact wallpaper that we had in the 80s and printed the invitations and And I want to say napkins or something like that. The napkins.
I did the tablecloth too, I thought. Yes, I think so.
If I remember. Yeah.
But I don't know how you did that, but you sourced it, you found it, and it was the exact same thing. And when my mom walked in, when she saw everything, you know, she is waterworks.
And it was tears from the second we walked in. So the thing with Chris and I, because we are, I'm a little younger, but we're from the same generation.
And I know the event she went to. And I know, I remember things in the house.
We kind of sourced someced some like a tv I don't know if you remember there was some poppage there sometimes I get things and no one notices but I always say to my office somebody will notice I know and it will mean and we got those pajamas I've with the hearts with the hearts I hanging in my closet. Yeah.
It's so nostalgic. But those are things that sometimes I think people are like, oh, I could throw a party.
And yes, we can all throw a party. But when you are an event planner and when you are literally at the top of their game like you are, the love is in the details.
Thank you. And what you can source, what you pay attention to, I was actually saying yesterday, the bathroom baskets that you have.
I think if anyone throws a Mindy Weiss party, that's something you're famous for. Thank you.
When you go into the restroom, I haven't been in the male restroom, but I imagine they're in there too. Not as good as the female, though.
the female well i imagine because the girls have everything so she has these baskets and they have any single thing that one could need from deodorant to lint rollers to contact solution yes that's a big one yes anything like tongue scrapers like it would be anything and everything in these baskets so if a girl doesn't have their purse, don't worry.

Going back to you, what was the very first event that you threw? The very first, I faked the whole thing. Now I knew what to do because my parents gave parties, but had no sources, had nothing.
One of the sons said, just do, because I did the invitations. That's how we go.
If we go backwards, I started doing invitations and then went on my own and so on. But what made you go from that to event

planning? Because this son asked me to do the party. Oh, wow.
And I said, oof, I don't want to be a party planner because I would do all the party planners invitations. They were mean and cranky, demanding.
I thought, oof, you know, I'm not going to do it. But I love this family.
And And it was his big birthday.

It was at Hillcrest Country Club.

Oh, my gosh.

So what I did is when i went to go look at it there was a party going on and i took every vendor's name because i had nobody smart who to call right so i just faked the whole thing realized there was money to be made if you do it smart and that you know the heart started pounding and i went oh my gosh you know because it was creative and i'm a frustrated artist like i can't paint but i can paint in my head right and that's what i did with this party from that one party like the davises were there right mar and Barbara they became my clients and all this and these are like major these were like old money old major they ran it was the Camelot of the day right and that's crazy off of that one one and it just trickled on and that's how it all began and did Brooke Shields' wedding to Andre Agassi. Oh, wow.
Which I didn't know would be, because I'm so naive, you know, I just said, oh, you're so pretty. Sure, I'll do this little wedding.
And then she sent me to the location with Andre by ourselves. And then we got along great.
Right. And later read his book and realized what he was going through at the time i was with him but you know and then you do a celebrity wedding and it goes okay it's a very closed community as you and then they started trusting me and that's kind of how i got into that so mindy threw my mom's 60th birthday and it was the biggest party that me and my siblings have ever like could afford and spend on our mom right she's so deserving but it was like we've always done little things but this was it was great gatsby theme and we went all out from oh i remember your outfit beginning to end and it the best.
It's still talked about till this day. You guys are going to die when you see my mom's 70th birthday.
Oh, my goodness. We've been planning it for, I swear, like a year.
Oh, and the notes I get. Yes.
I get a lot. So we have a file of just what's to come.
But my mom has no idea. No idea.
So we're so excited. I know.
That's in November. But so, and that's rare.
I can't believe we haven't had a meeting yet. We haven't had a meeting yet, but I was just going to say, that's rare that we even do it that in advance.
Like obviously we know every birthday is coming and we know that, but you know, someone will call Mindy and be like 48 hours before. I think I want to throw a party on Saturday.
And that's how it is. Except for you.
I think in a perfect world, you want time. I think your clients are the ones that are torturing you.
But I think you sort of pick yourself like because you've proven that you can do it, that people call you at the last minute. And they say, don't worry.
Right. And I hear people who recommend me, now don't worry because she'll do it.
She won't call you or anything and you won't think she's listening to anything you say. But when you get there, it's better.
It's better than what you think. No, but I think that's also you can't let people know that you can do things in a short amount of time because that's that's kind of what's happened i know i know well especially with my family um tell me the differences because you work with each one of us like the different just who's if you whatever you care to share I don't none of us will like the different just who's whatever you care to share none of us will care like the different particularities from the siblings or even include my mom just like I don't know what are like our little quirks I guess I know exactly when we get the call what the expectation like I Like I know the pattern.
Right. So mom calls way ahead, likes invitations out very early.
Yes. Once you get those out, she relaxes.
I was going to say she spirals until they're out. Yes.
Yes. Like, you know.
Yeah. Love's a great theme.
Love's the beauty. You know, I always want to use her dishes.

And sometimes she's like, no, don't use my dishes.

Especially for Christmas, we use all. If you guys could see these cabinets, it's like, it's better than sex for me.
If I open up the cabinet doors and there's Easter, Mother's Day, Christmas, you know,

self-defense. I open up the cabinet doors and there's Easter, Mother's Day, Christmas, you know, celebration.

It's a dream.

It's exactly what you want to have, but it never works out that way.

It worked out in her dish closet.

And like she'll literally, when I come over, she'll go, I have to show you something.

And it's like that meme.

It's great.

Oh, yes, yes.

It's exactly that.

The Faye Resnick and Kris Jenner meme.

Yeah.

It's so funny.

Kim, I guess we're a little morbid, but Kim was like, in your will, can I have your diamonds?

And I go, can I have your dishes?

That's what I asked for.

I have to tell you the reason why these parties have become something.

I'm not sure how, but I mean, I know how. Because your mother.
Yes. You guys all want to have that memory and that feeling.
And you guys continue to go back to every party. Oh, when we were young, my mother did this.
And oh, this is how she set a table.

I mean, these were good memories for you.

And that's why all of you, there's not just one.

You all celebrate everything, which for me is a great thing.

But each one, we've gotten lucky with the memories that it you know it sparks anyways your mother you know she's extremely involved she likes to know everything in a timely manner so I try to be the best on my game yes I'm a little behind one event now I'm scared to see her tomorrow. Courtney.

Gentle soul now. I'm scared to see her tomorrow.
Courtney, gentle soul now. Yes, but she's more of a last minute planner, right? Yes.
Like we know about it, but we don't get involved. You know, it's a much more methodical, we know, but she has really good ideas too.
So we and um something she likes to do on her own so we're not around as much but very kind travis is just very thank you thank you you know that she loves when all you guys come over and tell you tell her what you think yeah she needs her christmas things which is great because then I look at the conversation while you guys are having the conversation. She can't do it on her own.
She loves to like take a survey like, what do you think? What do you think? Which is fine. Which is great because she wants to make everybody happy too.
But I don't work with Courtney as much as the rest of the family. Kim, very organized.
Things come randomly. Yes.
Like we do these big presentations and, you know, yes, no, very quick. Right.
Precise and trusting. She'll trust us.
But if she does not like something, we know it. Yes.
We do. And it's okay.
She has such an aesthetic that she wants to keep everything in, which is great for me to know. So I know we do not present anything very, very colorful except the kids stuff, which she lets go.
Or my 40th birthday. Oh, well, that.
Yes. We're not there yet.
That was so good. That was amazing.
So Chloe organized pictures, decks. Pinterest pages.
There is no guessing. Which for us is the best.
Yeah because i'm always like is this annoying because am i i know i'm a micromanager for us it's nice to have a direction when you call for parties we feel believe it or not relaxed because we know we have a task and it's rare that i ask you guys to do something last minute. Yes.
I like to plan. But if you don't like something, we know it.
Yes. There is no, yeah, there's no guessing.
And I'm very particular with like the exact shade of colors. Right.
I'm not. Very.
Yes. But also different than your sisters, except for Kendall, you're there when we're setting up I like to be yeah so there's guidance there and questions like what is that did we order that did we well just let's just wait until yes there's a lot I didn't order that there's a lot of hand holding like it's okay let until it's actually done.
And you're right. And I always end up just being in love.
And I think every party I become more in love with. Right.
Like, you're just like, oh, okay. I love that.
You trust the process. Courtney will come right up and tell us, you know.
Yeah. But she, you know, she watches.
And then Rob. Oh God.
I only see him at dreams parties. But let me tell you, when he shows up, he goes to every vendor and thanks them.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for doing this.
So what a pleasure. He is.
You know, and it's always like better than what he thought because you're planning and he does like he'll he'll have he obviously trusts me so much but he'll have an opinion like he'll tell me like the theme is soccer or this or that like he'll do that um but then he's like okay like cool he knows between me and you we're gonna get it done but But he is always so grateful. Grateful and happy.

He's always just huggable. He is.

And I always hug him.

Kenny, Kendall.

We just did Christmas Eve

at her house. I know, and I couldn't be there.

You would have been very proud of her.

She did. The photos alone.

I was like, wow, okay.

She kept it real. She kept it like her home she wanted to be her home um great taste great taste very iconic ralph you know all i have to do is see a home and then i know i hadn't seen her new couch and all that okay yeah she's an amazing oh my god really good so you know but she has comments like she'll come in and out in and out so kendall was a pleasure you know again will tell me what she wants i did a few surprises that she was very happy with and if she wasn't well i would have taken it away right away but her house looked beautiful and it was her first year hosting Christmas Eve.
It was a smaller Christmas Eve. Yes.
I was bummed I couldn't be there because True was sick. I was shocked.
I heard. But Tatum went with my mom.
It was so funny. He was.
With this white little. Suit.
Suit. Arriving.
He just smiles. He's like everyone's little love.
Oh, he loves, you know, he needs the acceptance of everyone. He's like the town mayor.
He is. He has to say hi to everyone.
He is, yeah. And Kylie.
Kylie. She, again, before she got so busy, definitely sends me Pinterest and inspiration and very detailed.
She does very large large events and now is kind of backing off a bit and doing smaller but for stormy worlds right and then when air came these are big chunky events yes and she has a vision like she can see it you know a lot of people can't see it ahead of time but she sees it and um but then when she's at the party there's what always i don't know why this like it's so interesting to me yes you are an event planner but when you throw events in other countries like where do you get your vendors and those how do you know they're going to be good we have to bring them really do our homework we often don't bring them anymore we used to but each country truly because the entertainment world has become i mean entertaining parties has become such a big thing especially in weddings um i'm on instagram i'm writing down oh that was pretty who is that person you know and then when we go we have our teams and because we go to europe so much and different places now if we go to new places i was just in san miguel de allende oh this little town mexico it was but we had to really research. And I always love to bring my photographer right you know but boy I'll tell you there's some talent in every country and they reach out to me too which is so lovely so I find a lot of that and um but when you do out of town destination my son's getting married in March and.
And I said, we're staying in L.A., buddy. We are not going anywhere.
I always feel like when someone does a destination wedding, they don't really want that many guests to attend because not everyone can afford it. Not everyone can take off work.
And everybody goes. You cannot depend on that because everybody goes.
That's crazy to me. It's crazy.
And i mean i just did one in cabo is almost 400 people in cabo 400 people and they all go and then but when you do destination remember it's five parties you have a welcome rehearsal dinner saturday wedding sunday brunch and then there's usually a family dinner that's in there because they'll come. That's too much for me.
And guests taking care of the guests because they're a little more insecure when they're out of town. So people don't realize how much goes into it.
Yeah, that's crazy. That is crazy.
Mindy threw kim's 40th in tahiti yes and you'll love it because she wasn't bringing anybody what do you mean she said oh they'll take care of us there okay they're gonna take care of us and and i i let it go because like okay i And then I called her. I said, Kim, who's taking care of your mother? Who is making sure the rooms are ready? They don't know what you want.
But also we had a DJ. We had this.
Yes. Who's doing all that? She goes, yeah, let me think about it.
And about maybe six minutes later. She's like, yes.
Okay, you're right're right yeah so you know people don't realize they don't know you like we know what each guest needed what you guys needed you know what mom needed i guess and it's always and that's part of the experience that's why it kind of it is what would you say do you have any sort of event that's like what you would consider like your biggest, I don't want to say fail, but like one that you're like, oof, I wish I could redo that one. Oh, several.
Some that the client. But I think that's important for people to know.
I think people think like there's no. And it may not be the whole event.
Right. It's definitely the tablecloth or the, oh, we should have redesigned it.

And, you know be the whole event, but it's definitely the tablecloths or the, oh, we should have redesigned it. And, you know, the tables were too far apart or the stage wasn't big.
But the art. There's one thing.
Mindy and I threw one of Kim's birthday parties at the offices. And, but this is, there was, we, it was stunning.
I saw this on Everyone's Pinterest it was it was Viral one it was a viral one The aesthetic of it it was We enclosed A dining table long dining Table with candelabras candles Melting stunning And it was tented in and mirrored in so you saw it looked like it was endless tables because of

the mirrors parachute tenting our first time parachuting yeah so sublime like we were both drooling we picked it i mean mindy did it but i like sent the references but it was great but because it was so enclosed we were we were we were melting and melting sweating our asses off But what Mindy does, and this is late at night, like eight, nine, something like that. Somehow we feel bursts of air and we're like, wow, what happened? Like, is there some, how did this happen? Where's the air coming from? I can't believe you remember this.
Mindy somehow went to Home Depot or something like that and got huge floor fans and like

on the fly, realizing that we're all dying of a heat stroke.

As I was.

Yeah.

And she gets the fans somehow finagles it into.

Quiet fans.

Quiet fans into the drapery and solved the issue before anybody complained about the problem. It was coming.
I was like, we got to go quick. Yes.
It's coming. And the whole party was saved because she, you know, you've got to think on your toes.
You have to think. And some people get lazy.
Yes. And they feel like if the party's going, oh, we're done.
Right. But no, you have to be ahead of the food coming out.
When's the cake a cake coming you know all that has to keep going and you can't turn it off it's just that's part of this chameleon thing that and i you can't teach it i think you just have to you just have it yes and probably you having so much experience has given you that too, what to do on the fly.

Absolutely.

Everyone says, oh, I go, they go, do you think you know everything? I go, every job I learn something. Every single job.
Like for Shai's birthday party, the Western, we had Hay. and um uh andrew who by the way has you know he's uh still as equally responsible for all the wonder wonderfulness he really is andrew works he works with me and he's very creative but he was going to put burlap on the hay and i said it's just not soft enough yeah it's just not so i'm at joanne's you know on saturday running around trying to find fabric so these are things that people think oh it's not no it never stopped job no you know and it's always doing nords's rack, buying little Western boots so the flowers go in there.

I saw those, but the details.

Because I thought they were two wedding-y flowers.

So I said, let's put them in.

You know, and my husband's right.

What are you doing?

I go, we need cowboy boots for the flowers.

You know, and whether one person, you noticed it.

I noticed it.

It could be one person.

And I even said, Kim, how cute are these vases? And she's like, oh, that is so cute. Yeah.
See? So do you throw parties for yourself? I don't really like parties because it reminds me of work. I figured that.
So, I mean, that's honest. I'm only responsible in my family sisters for hanukkah

that is it that's my and let me tell you i have it catered yeah i do i make it beautiful but

you know i don't want to do a thing my nephew will help me on it and that's it and there have

been times i use paper plates they're very pretty and i really nice. I don't want to wash dishes.
No, I get it. You're over it.
No, but I have a wedding coming up. So I did one for my older son.
So Mindy has three sons. Three sons.
Really delicious kids. Not because they're mine.
They're so nice. So if anybody's worried about working too much and not being with the kids enough, it's enough because they're lovely.
So your oldest is married and now your middle is going to be married in March. In March.
Yes. So we are planning.
The oldest and his lovely wife, who I adore, didn't have a lot of comments on their wedding but this one has a lot of interesting ideas okay and and thoughts and I said to him you have thoughts you are his mom and planning the event and he's clever too what is the etiquette in today's day about paying for weddings?

Is it still the father of the bride?

What I find most is that both families will split it.

And if not, for us, it's always the bride.

You know, for us, we think, oh, it's going to be the bride's family.

But as the bride and grooms get older, which they are right now, sometimes they pay for it. Right.
Because they're established, they're working. And I think that makes sense.
Now, my son's not paying for it. Okay.
Never mind. But, you know, I'm definitely, people are being quite kind to me and, you know.
Well, that's also. I love a 28-piece band.
And I keep saying, don't you think that's. 28 piece band i don't oh my gosh that's like won't that be like it's gonna be like an old school kind of like meet joe black did you ever see that movie of course yeah and when it was his birthday i mean i remember the glamour of that shot yes oh i loved that speech so it's gonna be kind of that Yeah, the speech was good.
I loved it. So we'll do some.
It's in a soundstage so we can create. Nice.
And like where one of the Lemmy events was there. So hopefully.
God, you've thrown a lot of events for us. Thank God.
Yes. I love whenever.
They're the most creative. I mean, you know, it goes the gamut of really being different.
Well, I love whenever they're the most creative i mean they you know it goes the gamut of really being different well i love whenever we post something event related everyone's like how does this party planner have any free time or anything because it's as because they say just with the family alone birthdays but without birthdays we're throwing so many other events for brands and they don't know that you know a lot of the times they don't you know but it's non-stop i mean i always wonder how you have other clients because i'm like mind we stalk you all day long yeah but there's other people in the office that do i become somewhat territorial on certain things because well yes you have to plus it's I find it easy believe it or not but what about your part my 40th oh my gosh Mindy for me always throws the best ones but like my baby shower was the most spectacular baby shower in the world. Because Kimmy and your mom and they all want like it's like almost like, oh, we have to do this for Chloe, you know, because you do that for them.
Yes. It's very.
My 40th. They went.
They went. And you guys will see all of that on our show.

I don't remember what episode it is.

But it is towards the end of the season.

And it is above and beyond.

It was so fun.

And usually I'm in the back just sitting eating hors d'oeuvres or something.

But I was out there because I just wanted to watch.

But every single person there had the same energy. Said how much fun it was.
Snoop Dogg performed. It was the best.
Probably one of the best. And what everybody wore.
I thought they kind of went out. It was Dolly Parton themed.
Yes. Cowgirl themed.
Chicago stole my theme. Which is fine.
That's why it was easy to do we've done that that will be cute but every square inch of that party was saloon signs the drink names that everything was ultimate perfection and i was the like the last person to leave they literally were like you gotta go right and we all got ushered out but it was amazing so we are going to be closing up but i just want to ask what's next for you do you think i know you've written books um do you like writing books i do i like during covet i wrote a flower girl book about my grandkids and then a ring bearer book about my best friend's grandson so i love that um i did write a 500 page wedding book on how to get married and organizers but you know everyone says when are you retiring when are you retiring i go i don't i really haven't i think about it when i'm tired right but what would You know, I love interior design, but I don't want to return a couch. You know, in the party world, it's six hours and it goes away.
Right. So if there's a spot on the couch, you're not going to know, you know.
But so interior is too permanent. My mom always says the minute you stop working is the minute when, you know, you slowly start fading away.
Dying. Dying.
I know. And MJ is 90, 90, and she says the same thing.
Yes. And she worked until like 87 or something like that.
Yes. So I have no plans.
Not that you want to do that. I want to keep elevating.
I want to do unique, you know, there are some amazing event planners. It's good you love me because there are some good, really creative, you know, the looks going very residential now with how we're doing things.
But I'm just, I love competition. So I'm going to, I know.
Well, I know. And you also did, you've done your masterclass.
Oh. Yes.
Good for you. Yeah.
For remembering. Yes.
That was fun. Yes.
And do you like doing that? Oh, yes. Well, they were worried because they gave me a 500-page book to read about, you know, what I'm going to talk about.
I go, I'm not going to read that. If you're just asking me questions, if I can't answer every question, then I'm not a master.
And I had a great two 12-hour days and it was so much fun and I realized I knew a lot about event planning well that was about weddings you do when I um I took a survey on one of my social platforms and I said I just wanted to hear what who people wanted on because I like to see what the audience wants And you were one of my top requested. And so many people said how much they loved your masterclass and they just want to hear more from you.
Thank you. So that masterclass means a lot to a lot of people.
I think everyone who meets you falls in love with you because how could they not? And every party that you throw throw regardless if it's your first time meeting that person or your hundredth time you give your all and i just feel so honored and lucky that thank you my mom met you at that stationary store because i have you in my life and i could not imagine an event without you so thank you so I'm so grateful that you came on to Chloe in Wonderland. I said yes in one second.
And this is her second time being here because we tried to tape this last week. Yes.
All the power went out in the building. We've been having fires in LA and there was high winds and Edison had to cut the power.
Yes. And we were literally, I think, two minutes in.
Right. The power went out.
Yep. But we're here.
That's how much. But that's what happens at my events.
It happens. Yes.
It happens. And it didn't faze me.
Oh, no. It didn't.
She was like, that's okay. I have to go to Kim's and plan Chicago's birthday after this.
I'm fine. It was fine.
Mindy came back. And we're always about meant to be.
Yes. So there was a reason.
Divine timing. Divine timing.
And now we're off to Palm Springs for Stormy and Ayers' birthday. Here we go.
A double. A double whammy.
Yes. A double.
It will be fun. I love you so much, Chloe.
And everything people think you are, all the good stuff, you are.

Thank you.

You are.

I hope you know that.
