You're listening to an iHeart podcast. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeart Media. On this week's episode of Math and Magic, I'm sitting down with the one and only Bobby Bones. We're exploring the power of audio. Yeah, I don't fit into one specific hole. I think that is what endeared me to listeners. That's why I'm here now, because I talk to people that grew up like me, have sensibilities like me, and have loyalties like me.

Listen to Math and Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's kick things off.

Yesterday was the Met Gala. It's Party City on LSD, and this year, the looks were as wild as ever. The Met Gala began with a bang from the Brooklyn United Marching Band, and from there, the steps became a who's who of fashion, movies, and music. The theme is celebrating American fashion. And these guests understood the assignment. Hosts Billie Eilish and Naomi Osaka stunned

in their larger than life outfits. And Lil Nas X shut down the steps with his costume changes. We asked, what does it mean to be two working class women showing up to the Met? And so we decided if we're gonna do it, we're gonna send a message, text rich. Even Mayor de Blasio made his first appearance. Red, white and blue were the colors of the night,

as was anything sparkly, with the exception of Kim Kardashian, who came in all black everything. Okay, I don't care what anybody says, man. You know you've killed the game when you can step out covered head to toe and everyone still recognizes you. Shit, I don't even recognize some of my friends

when they're wearing a mask, but Kim Kardashian climbs up the stairs looking like a video game character you haven't unlocked yet, and we're all like, I know that shape anywhere. It's Kim. Yeah, it's Kim. And there were so many amazing outfits last night, you know?

Erika Badoo came looking like an astronaut at a funeral. Dan Levy came as an angry throw pillow. Oh, and this one was one of my favorites. Kevin Hart. He brought a life-sized doll of Frank Ocean. I mean, that was genius. I didn't even think that... Wait, that's not... that's not the... Oh, shit, my bad. And this is what I love about the Met Gala, right?

Is that it brings America together. Black, white, Republican, Democrat. No matter your sexual orientation, My bad. And this is what I love about the Met Gala, right? Is that it brings America together. Black, white, Republican, Democrat, no matter your sexual orientation, people switch on their TVs and they all say, what the fuck are they wearing? And don't get me wrong, I love the Met Gala. I'm not even trying to act like I hate.

I love the Met Gala because it's not about looking good, it's about looking different, you know? It's the only party you can show up to in a cardboard box with the word butthole written on it and people will be like, oh my God, yes, I need more of that in my life, oh my God. But if you show up in a beautiful tailored tuxedo, everyone's like, get that corny shit out of here.

Bring back the guy in the butthole box. And remember this entire event, this entire event is a fundraiser. I saw a lot of people talking trash like, oh, what is this bullshit? Why are these people doing? It's a fundraiser that makes it possible to keep admission into the Metropolitan Museum of Art

free for residents. And I for one think that's really important, you know, because you can't be charging people money to look at art. I mean, have you seen art? Art is weird. It's all like naked angel babies and pieces of twisted metal and people looking at that stuff going,

oh, yes, I see. Oh, I see. I'm not paying for the culture. Today we'll be discussing black contributions to fashion. Normally when we think about black fashion, we think about church hats so big, they block your view of Jesus. Or we think about those suits that Steve Harvey wears that hog all the buttons. Leave some buttons for the rest of us, Steve.

They're keeping my clothes together with staples. But in actuality, the world of fashion has been filled with influential and iconic African-American designers. Like our first trailblazer, Zelda Wynn Valdez, who was one of the first designers whose clothing accentuated women's curves. Before her, women's fashion covered up their figures

with big-ass skirts the size of a Carnival Cruise ship. Women would get lost just bending over to tie their shoes. Zelda's curve-flawing designs were so popular that Hugh Hefner asked her to design the iconic outfit for the Playboy bunnies. I never went to the Playboy mansion myself because I was married and I also have a severe phobia of rabbits. You never know where rabbits are hiding.

If you can pull one out of a hat, you can pull one out of anywhere. Kiss my ass. I don't want to be around that. Another black creator of couture is Stephen Burroughs. He rose to fashion prominence in the early 70s during the disco era. I was always confused by disco. I couldn't tell who was dancing

and who was giving me directions. But disco isn't just about the moves. It's about the fashion, which Stephen Burroughs helped shape. He hung out at Studio 54 and was popular among its celebrity regulars. He was the first to design clothes that were comfortable on the dance floor, even at 3 a.m. Right when the cocaine hit so hard,

you thought you were the disco ball. Cocaine was better in the 70s. Burroughs also invented letticing, which is when you make the material at the edge of a garment curve and ripple, like a piece of lettuce. I'll have to take his word for it, because I've never eaten a piece of lettuce.

My favorite vegetable is caramel-covered popcorn. And finally, our last designer brings us to the modern day. Virgil Abloh, the first African-American artistic director at Louis Vuitton, and driving force behind this decade's streetwear movement. He made high-end fashion take streetwear seriously. You know, fancy logos, t-shirts, chunky sneakers, hoodies, pretty much anything you're not supposed to wear to a funeral.

Unless you and the deceased had beef. Rest in peace, Spencer. Miss Jordan's a steppin' on your grave. Now, don't be fooled by the term streetwear. One of Abloh's biggest companies, Off-White, sells sweatpants for over $300, and this luxury undershirt costs $200. Although I don't know why you would spend so much money The biggest companies, Off-White, sell sweatpants for over $300, and this luxury undershirt costs $200.

Although I don't know why you would spend so much money on a shirt that ain't nobody gonna see. You know how much I paid for my underwear? Nothing. A six-pack of drawers fell off the back of a Walmart truck in 1987, and I never looked back. So the next time you zip your fly, and you're looking fly,

remember the African-American fashion trailblazers who made you that blazer. Now, if you'd excuse me, I'm gonna make my first shirt retail price $10,000. This old man has his debts. Well, that's all the time we have for today. I'm Roy Wood Jr. This has been CP Time.

And remember, for the culture, make me some... Oh! Damn! Somebody give me a napkin. I'm bleeding on my fabric. -♪ -♪ Every great movement begins with an individual act of defiance. Moses stood up to the Egyptians. Gandhi stared down the British. Morocco met a man in Syracuse, New York, facing the mightiest foe of defiance. Moses stood up to the Egyptians. Gandhi stared down the British.

Morocco met a man in Syracuse, New York facing the mightiest foe of them all. For 17 long months, Fred Craig has crusaded daily against women's discount clothing chain, Fashion Bug. It all started with these. This is what happened to the Fashion Bug panties Fred bought for his wife after only one wash. They came apart, they shredded. So he balled up his panties and demanded a refund. She's like, yeah, those are underwear, you know, we can't take those back. No refund, but Fred had found a nobler purpose. Trashing Fashion Bug.

For over a year and a half, he spent each day outside the mall, spreading his message to women shoppers. Well, I tried to return something in there one day and they treated me like dirt. Is that because of your behavior? Not because of Fashion Bug's clothes. Don't be dissing them. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Encouraged by his supporters, Fred forges ahead single mindedly. Yet somehow he finds time to paint, create helpful websites, and take relaxing drives.

Fred's mother stands firmly behind him. How proud are you? Proud? He is a complete idiot for doing this. What would you prefer Fred do with his time? Work. Your son has a website. Why in the world would he have that? For other victims of Fashion Bug. The name of the website is www.fashionbugsucks.com. Well now what kind of language is that? Geez, I'm crawling. To evaluate Fred's claims, the Daily Show Laboratories conducted a battery of tests to simulate a typical day for a pair of panties.

Our conclusion? These panties needed to go back to the store. Oh hi, yeah. I want to return these panties, which I bought and they're not working. What happened? Oh my god. Wow, that's mud. After only 45 seconds, Fashion Bug gave the Daily Show a store credit. But for Fred, the battle continues with the support of his family. This is the honest to God's truth. I'm dreading Thanksgiving. That was my favorite holiday but we're all getting together down my daughter's house and I dreaded Fred being there because the whole thing of being thankful is the idiots gonna say we talking about

fashion bug the whole time. Fashion bug, fashion bug, fashion bug, fashion bug. That's all he thinks about. When he goes to bed, that's what he sleeps about. What can I do the next day for fashion bug? Geez. Is he nuts? Really nuts. Is he crazy? Yes.

Is he a lunatic? No. So you love your son? Yes. But I don't want to be associated with him. No, that's not what I mean. I don't want to be associated with them. That's hot women. Morocco, ladies and gentlemen. That's an excellent quote.

Let me ask you this, Mo. The time that you spent in the field, can you now tell men what to look for in a good parapetage? Oh, absolutely, John. Here is the much celebrated thong. Lovely to look at, but not at all durable. No, no. So now take a look at these, if you would, a pair of the much-bally-hood edible panties. Okay? Attractive, yes, but look very closely at the sell-by date.

Okay? I'm sure these panties were tasty in March 1978. Well, which panties do you recommend then? Oh, well, the oldies but the goodies, big old granny panties. Well, do you have an example of that to show us, or is there someone? Oh, well, sure, here. Oh, okay, yeah. No, no, it's just very easy. Yes, yes, yes, that's fine, that's fine.

Are you sure you don't want me to? I know, I understand, yes, they're underneath. Oh, okay, yeah. No, no, it's very easy. Yes, yes, yes, that's fine, that's fine. You sure you don't want me to? I know, I understand, yes, they're underneath. Very good. Mo' Rock, everybody! Hi, I'm Bob Pipman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. On this week's episode of Math and Magic, I'm sitting down with the one and only Bobby Bones. We're exploring the power of audio.

The word on the street then was, he's too country for pop. But then once I got to country, it was he's too pop for country. So I kind of never really had a place to fit in. But that's exactly how and why I fit. I just embraced that. Like, yeah, I don't fit into one specific hole. I think that is what endeared me to listeners.

That's why I'm here now because I talk to people that grew up like me, have sensibilities like me, and have loyalties like me. Listen to Math & Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. MUSIC Not everything is going swimmingly in Trump land. As you know by now, Nordstrom stopped selling

Ivanka's product line and after Trump attacked them online, this is true, Nordstrom stock shot up 4%. It went up by 4%. It's the new Trump effect. Yeah, everyone thought stocks were gonna go down. Right now, every company in the country is gonna start claiming to stop selling Ivanka products, even if they don't have them.

That's like the new thing. You go against Trump and then people, like people will be in court and they're just like, the lawyer's like, I know my client killed four people, but he stopped selling Ivanka products. So could he have a lighter sentence? They'll be like, all right, it's approved, it's approved. So that was all yesterday.

That was all yesterday. Then this morning, Trump sent out the most overworked woman in America and truth scarecrow, Kellyanne Conway, to defend Ivanka's brand on TV. You asked about Ivanka, I visited with her yesterday. You know, this is a very successful business woman. Go buy Ivanka's stuff is what I would tell you. I'm gonna go shopping, I'm gonna go get some on myself today.

This is just, it's a wonderful line, I own some of it. I you. I'm gonna get, I hate shopping. I'm gonna go get some on myself today. This is just, it's a wonderful line. I own some of it. I fully, I'm gonna just give it, I'm gonna give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online. Wow, I'm gonna give a free commercial, go buy it? I love how in less than three weeks,

we've gone from the presidency and Trump businesses are totally separate to come on down to the White House and buy, buy, buy! Buy Trump or get dumped, all our dignity must go! Guys, like, with everything going on in the world, why is the president wasting his time with a clothing line? Like, this is, he's a president. You know what, I mean, I talk smack about Trump all the time,

but for the good of the country, I'm gonna help out. I'm gonna help this guy out. Donald, you know what? You focus on running a country, and I'll help you sell those clothes. How about that, huh? You guys ready for a fashion show? Yeah?

Well, let's do this, then. Let's do this. Let's do this. Ladies and gentlemen... dress head to toe in pieces from the actual Ivanka Trump collection. Give it up for our senior fashion correspondent, Desi Lydic, everybody! -♪ Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah Desi, you look fabulous. Thank you. The fabric is definitely giving me a full body rash, but worth it.

You know what they say, beauty is pain, girl. Tell us all about this fabulous look. Okay, well let's start with this gorgeous wool coat. Now this is gonna protect you from all the elements. You know, snow, rain, bad press, criticism of your family, tapes your dad made on a bus. It's a great coat, Desi. No one respects women's coats more than the Trumps.

Right? Now, everyone's been talking about the B-A-N, but let's talk about this B-A-G. Oh, let's. Now, this is the perfect bag for any stylish working woman whose family is gonna use the presidency to make it rain. Oh. Also, not waterproof. Oh, oh, I thought it was, okay.

Nope, no way. Oh, wow, I'm just seeing your amazing shoes right now. Amazing, but how do you walk in those? Oh, no, actually, these are super comfy. So comfy that you could spend the whole day helping your dad trample all over the Constitution. You won't feel a thing. Ha ha. Whoa.

Come here. No. You won't feel a thing, because you can't. Even though during the campaign, you made it seem like you would. Girl, you are killing it. Yeah, just like Trump's gonna kill the EPA. Oh, ho! Fashion burn!

Yeah, no, it really burns. It's like a chemical burn. Oh, you got a rash. There's something going on. Desi, you should go. Desi Lydic, everyone, we'll be right back. It's like a chemical burn. Oh, you got to rush. There's something going on. You should go. Desi Lydic, everyone, we'll be right back. There's something going on here.

There's a special thing. ["Dulce & Sloan"] Today is the official start of New York Fashion Week, or as New Yorkers call it, Thursday. For more, please welcome to the show our newest Daily Show correspondent, Dulce Sloan, everybody. -♪ Yeah! -♪ What's going on, Dulce?

Hey. Thanks, Trevor. Yes, it's fashion week, and while we'll see some new looks, some things will never change. For example, we know at least one model will fail at her only job, walking down the runway.

And that some designer's gonna try to sell us clothes, they fished out of a dumpster. But the thing, mm, that gets the most attention every year is the cultural appropriation. That never goes out of style. Well, Dulce, for people who don't know, can you explain what cultural appropriation is? Sure. It's when you take something that divides a culture

that you're not a part of and profit off of it. The fashion industry does it all the time. They take from black culture, Native Americans, Asia, you name it. I mean, the models even appropriate their body dimensions from the aliens in Close Encounters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't say, to be fair, not all instances

of cultural appropriation are that extreme. Yeah, that's true. Not every person who listens to rap or wears a kimono or sings the chorus to Despacito is trying to steal someone else's culture. Well, that's good to hear because I love singing Despacito. Well, you can definitely sing it

because you know you look like a Puerto Rican. I'm not a Puerto Rican. Hola. But sometimes it crosses the line. Like when you get movies about white boys saving jazz or Miley Cyrus twerking, ugh. Hell, cultural appropriation is the only thing Taylor and Katie can agree on.

Okay, okay, but some people look at some of these examples and they think, why the fuss? Because, Trevor, it's... when white people discover something that used to be considered ghetto. For example, look at Big Butts. I always try to. Oh! Oh. Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Thank you. Big butts used to be considered undesirable, but since the Kardashians bought all of theirs, now everybody wants one. Ooh, and don't get me started on dreadlocks. When black people have them, they're discriminated against. They even get fired over it. But when white people have them, clothes fly off the racks.

Look at this. This is a fashion show where she an avatar. Well, wait, wait, wait. Go-go back. Was that Kendall Jenner? Baby, it's always Kendall Jenner. Yeah, well, you know what, Dilsit, I'm not gonna lie. I hear you, and this is interesting, because for me, it's weird. Where I come from, cultural appropriation

isn't really a big deal, right? My-my family's always trying to get my white friends to wear African clothes. They don't view it as white people trying to steal our culture. They think they're embracing it. Mm-hmm. And that's the attitude they got my ancestors over here.

These white men are trying to steal us? They're embracing us. Come on! Come get on this boat! Okay, no, no. But wait, wait. But it's not-it's not just Africa. When Beyoncé did that video where she dressed up like an Indian goddess, right, people here were upset, but in India, a lot of people loved it. Okay, not true, ever. Beyoncé is that video where she dressed up like an Indian goddess, right, people here were upset, but in India, a lot of people loved it.

Okay, now, Trevor, Beyoncé is a bad example because she's a literal goddess. Come on. Forget culture. If Beyoncé stole my identity, I wouldn't even press charges. I'd be like, thank you. It's an honor. Here's my pin number, Be on site. Look, Trevor, this is about equality. If minorities were equal, they wouldn't worry about people taking their culture, because that wouldn't be all they have.

Look, white people, if you're going to appropriate, take everything. Take the good and the bad. You can take my struggle, too. Get pulled over for no reason, get followed through a store, and the next time there's a Black Lives Matter march, I want to see you there, Kendall, but don't worry about bringing that Pepsi girl. We drink Sprite. Tuesday Sloan, everybody!

-♪ T-Series theme song playing. -♪ Here in America, the lockdowns have not ended in many places. So many people have had to find new ways to keep themselves entertained in quarantine. And because the Met Gala was supposed to take place next Monday, fashion fans have started recreating famous outfits from the event at home. Yeah. One person made the Rihanna dress out of newspaper.

Another person decided to go with chandelier Katy Perry. And you know what's cool is that this is a challenge that anyone can participate in. Because if you put any household object on your head, the chances are someone wore it at some point to the Met Gala. So yeah, this year that's what people are doing. Because of coronavirus,

people are wearing Met Gala outfits at home. As opposed to what I did last year where I wore a home outfit to the Met Gala. I see what you say about me, Internet, and it hurts my feelings. Hi, I'm Bob Pippman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. On this week's episode of Math and Magic, I'm sitting down with the one and only Bobby Bones.

Today is the beginning of New York Fashion Week. Although, based on what you're wearing, I guess you didn't know about it. Oh-ho-ho! But how did New York Fashion Week. Although, based on what you're wearing, I guess you didn't know about it. Oh!

But how did New York Fashion Week begin? Well, Desi Lydic has the answer. ["Fashion Week Theme Song"] It's New York Fashion Week, the semi-annual event when designers show their collections to the world so fast fashion brands can decide which styles to rip off. But unlike wet subway seats, Fashion Week hasn't always been a New York institution.

It's had a long walk down the runway to get where it is today. It all started in France in the 1600s, which might not surprise you, but back then, Paris was very much not known for fashion. The French were about as stylish as a croc wearing a fanny pack. At that time, Madrid was actually the fashion capital of the world. And thanks to their tiny tapas, they could actually fit into all the sample sizes. But everything changed for France when Louis XIV was, you know, kingified. Louis turned France into a major power, and he wanted the threads to show it.

For him, fashion was essential to the monarchy's prestige. I mean, no one wants to be executed by a guy wearing cargo shorts. Louis' obsession built up France's fashion and textile industry and soon turned Paris into the world center of fashion, which by default made it the world center of cocaine and bitchy gossip as well. It was under Louis that France established the idea of showing fall designs in the spring and spring designs in the fall. So you can thank him for that trendy coat you're wearing in August.

Oh, who knew faux fur was so hot? France continued to dominate the fashion industry for centuries until World War II when Paris was under German occupation. This grinded their fashion influence to a halt because A, no one could come to Paris to shop, and B, Coco Chanel was too busy banging Nazis to make any clothes. I know, terrible, right? But no matter how many times I remind them of this, the boutique still won't give me

a discount on a classic flat bag. But Paris' defeat turned out to be a win for the American fashion industry. The US seized on the opportunity to fill that gap quicker than a Forever 21 dress falls apart in the laundry. In 1943, America held the first Fashion Week, or as it was known then, Press Week. Started by a publicist Eleanor Lambert, it launched the careers of designers like Hattie Carnegie, Norman Orell, and Claire McCardell, whose claim to fame was inventing sportswear. And by sportswear, I mean any casual clothing,

not the athleisure that you wear even though your main exercise is getting a caramel frap in the Starbucks drive-through. Three, four, five, oh, five. Oh, woo. Staying fit is tough. Before Press Week, magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar

were really all about European designers. They treated American designers the way they treated the Kardashians in 2010. They ignored them. But once Press Week started, they treated American fashion like, well, the Kardashians now. She said she'd eat poop to look good. Should I eat poop?

No. New York Fashion Week became such an institution that fashion capitals like Paris, London, and Milan soon added their own versions, and they continue pushing the fashion envelope to this day. You could only get away with severed heads in Milan. If that was on a New York runway, everyone would just assume it was another murder. As time passed, New York Fashion Week became home of so many seminal moments.

Like in the 50s when James Galanos popularized feminine glamour. Or Adolfo who gained fame in the 60s for his emphasis on accessories. And in the 70s Norma Kamali introduced the sleeping bag coat. Although if you just wear your kid's sleeping bag, it looks almost as good. As styles changed, so did Fashion Week itself. In the 70s and 80s, it turned into a non-stop party. Shows were held at nightclubs and celebrities started attending. By the early 2000s, celebs had become a permanent mainstay. Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton, everyone was there.

And that Hollywood glamor is still present to this day. But what was Larry David doing in the front row? He looked so miserable to be there, he should have been on the catwalk. Through the years, Fashion Week has had different homes in the city, from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center. But the most important place it's moved to in recent years is the same place you get all your porn, the internet.

Shows started live streaming and designers began inviting bloggers and influencers to events. This all democratized fashion and made it more accessible to the public, or at least that's what I tell my therapist when we're working through my online shopping addiction. I'm broke. New York Fashion Week hasn't just reflected the changing technology, it's also held a mirror up to society.

From designers responding to the Me Too movement, to the ongoing fight for more racial diversity on the runway. New York's been the site of progress for trans models, disabled models, and body positivity. Which is kind of the least the fashion industry could do after telling women not to eat for the last hundred years. So now you know everything about New York Fashion Week and how it came to be and how it's changing for the better.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some poop to eat. Here we go. -♪ -♪ Let's kick things off with's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a party, it's a inspired looks on full display right in bloom with this year's dress code the Garden of Time fans tried to figure out which Star was fully covered head to toe in a floor length beige umbrella now This is a water singer Tyler so many people talking about this She had to be carried up the stairs of the mat the dress which was made of sand was simply too heavy Okay, okay.
