"You launched your second makeup line in 30 years. Your brand new beauty brand, Jones road. Is it true you got the name from the waze app? Yes. Because when you're sitting there deciding what to name this company and I can't use my name, which is totally fine. Did that. We couldn't agree on names. We asked Reuters that we know cop, we hired copywriters. I even had Gloria Steinem working on names because I did a job with her. She goes, oh, I'll come up with a name. So what did she recommend? You know what? If I could only find that list because she wrote it on a piece of paper in her hand. I know, right? So, but then one day, my husband, who was my biggest supporter in all of this, said to me, you got to come up with a name. I said, I know, but this one's not available, and he said, we can't even think of launching until. And we're starting to run out of time. So we were driving to the Hamptons, and my husband likes to look at Google Maps and ways because God forbid we're in traffic when there's a back road. And I put my head down and I looked at it, I said, Jones road, beauty, and he said, what? And I said, doesn't that sound great? He said it actually sounds awesome. And I called the team. I said, put me on speaker phone. They said love it, and it became Jones road beauty, and for me, it was like, okay, Jones road reminds me of a bespoke brand in the UK and I'm a total anglophile. It also was like, okay, well I can't use Brown, I'll use Jones. I like it, 'cause I actually thought it was like, I have a Jones for something. And that was the last one. And everyone has a Jones for beauty. Exactly. Exactly. So tell us about the brand and your various signature products. Well, for some of which I'm wearing. Well, first of all, you know, working on it, it is a clean brand, which just means it's a brand of now, because there's 2700 banned ingredients that you can not have if you want to be a clean brand. You said 2700. 2700. And that's the truth. So, you know, I wanted to create the best products. I wanted to make this different kind of makeup because what happened to also while I was still at the brand when you're part of a big brand in a big corporation, you have many people to please and you have to come up with these products for different parts of the country and I had to approve at the end of my stay, products that I just didn't like. And you know, I was pressured into it, you know, where I never would have had to do that earlier. And I just don't like makeup that is so heavy and strong. You know, things were changing while I was still at the brand. The digital brands, the direct to consumer brands, but my personal makeup style on myself and on the people I was making up was changing also less makeup, more fresh, more skin, healthier, and I just wanted to have makeup that you could put on that instantly made you look like that. I was always frustrated with some of my artists that couldn't understand what I wanted because it made everybody look like they had a makeup face. I don't like a makeup face. So working with chemists and a couple product development people, I created these products that I was like, oh my God, these are amazing. Amazing. Where I, you know, somehow named things like, we named the pencil the best Brown pencil. We named an eyeshadow, the best color in the world. You know, I just, I was so enamored and excited and the miracle bomb, which is our hero product. It was a happy mistake creating it, and it literally instantly makes everybody look better. Why was it why was it an accident? Because I asked the chemist to create something that I wanted to make, and it came back completely not what I wanted. And instead of saying, ah, I just tried it. I stuck my hand in and I put it on. I'm like, oh my God. So I wanted something that was more like a foundation. So it would have been more skin color ish, but it ended up to be this miracle balm that you put on your face. That's a hybrid skin care tinted makeup that you don't really even need a foundation when you put it on or just need it on parts. And if you did wear foundation at major foundation, look so much better. And that was the first product that we said we could launch a company with just this product. Is it true that the miracle bomb has a wait list of 20,000 people? It did. It did because we didn't know how popular it was going to be. So, you know, we launched on the day my non compete was up. One week prior to the presidential election in the middle of a pandemic where I did The Today Show on my zoom, you know, with basically a blazer on top and shorts on the bottom, then I did a Wall Street Journal, and then I did Elvis Duran, so I hit three different medias from my office, and that's how I launched it. Incredible. I didn't know and realize number one, how interested people were that I was back. And how much they loved the products. So we thought we'd have enough for 6 months, and we sold out of two of the colors in three weeks. So there was a huge weight list, and then the coolest thing happened, someone called me and said, oh my God, we just found 25 hundred.

"When Leonard called and asked to meet me, you know, I went with the partner to his house, and I fell in love with him. And he basically said, you know, you're beating us in the stores. I would like to buy you. And you know, at the time, I said, we're really not on the market. We're not for sale. He said, what if I could tell you, you could do what you love, and we could do all the things you don't love, and what if I tell you that you could spend quality time as a mother and with your children and do all the things that bring you joy, and I was like, um, interesting. And it was an offer that I couldn't refuse. So it was an amazing feeling. I never felt bad. I mean, it was an incredible experience. I was thrilled. My husband and I were able to send all of our nieces and nephews to college and just it was an amazing thing. Did he also tell you that you reminded him of his mother? He did. And her entrepreneurship when she started. He did. But I used to laugh at, okay, we both had boys, you know, she had two eye and three. She would hang out with royalty and presidents and I hung out with basketball players and rap stars. Yeah, but I think yours sounds a lot more fun. I think so. Even though I really want to meet the queen that's been my lifelong dream. Well, you did meet some royalty here in the United States in 2010. You were appointed by then president Barack Obama to the advisory committee for trade policy and negotiation. You were invited by First Lady, Michelle Obama to participate in The White House's leadership inventing program for young women. And I believe you almost did Michelle Obama's makeup for the 2009 inauguration. Is that correct? Yes, I've done her makeup before, but I didn't get the job, the inauguration. She brought her Chicago team. I don't blame her, but I ended up doing doctor Biden's makeup and becoming a very good friend of hers. I did her makeup for both inaugurations, and I don't remember it was the first or second one. I think it was the first one where I somehow ended up in a motorcade amongst all of these guys that I had no idea who they were. And one guy turned to me. He said, who are you? I said, oh, I'm a makeup artist. He's like, what are you doing in my motorcade? And I'm like, and I said, well, I did doctor Biden's makeup, and I'm like, who are you? And he said, I am Leon Panetta, the Secretary of Defense. I'm like, nice to meet you. And he says, oh, can I take a picture for my wife? I do a pictures of me and him in the motorcade. Awesome. Have you been to the new Biden White House? I have not. I have not. It's been a very interesting time. But with COVID and everything else and I think there's still running and trying to catch up. By 2010, that same year you were appointed by president Obama to be on the advisory committee. Bobby Brown cosmetics was available in more than 980 doors as they call it 56 countries. By 2012, they were over 60 freestanding Bobby Brown cosmetics stores worldwide. And Bobby Brown cosmetics were estimated to represent 10% of as the water companies total sales, which is quite a lot. You stayed at water for 22 years. What kept you at lauder for so long? Well, I honestly thought I owned the company. I acted as if it was my company, even after I sold it. I had so much support in the beginning. I was pretty much allowed to do what I thought was right and what I wanted to do. And I interviewed every person that came in the door. I was able to build my team. I was able to do everything from name the products to create the products to promote the product. I did everything. I was really good at. And it was, you know, for 20 years, it was pretty incredible. And I am so grateful to have had that experience. The last couple years, as I'm sure you could understand, was more challenging, and you know, it was time to go. It's interesting. I spoke to Jenna Lyons about leaving j.crew and she felt that she maybe left one or two years too late. Do you feel that way? Easy to say that now. And by the way, you know, as someone that is Suzy's sunshine and just naive, I always think I could fix things. I always think, all right, let me I'm going to go in and I'm going to organize it and I'm going to get everyone together and we're going to and it just was challenging. And honestly, it was my aunt Alice, who is now 90, who, you know, I guess what she was 85, and she called me one day, how's it going? And I was like, oh my God, aunt Alice. It's torture. She said, honey, it's time. It's time. She said, I've been listening to you complain for years. It's time. And it was time. And honestly, it was the biggest gift that could have ever happened to me, because I would not, I would not have been able to be who I am and do all the things if I was still there. I read that after the shock of leaving war off, there was the silence. What was the transition like for you? Well, it was a joint decision. I went down in the elevator, and it was like the most amazing thing happened. All of this stress left my body. I realized I wasn't responsible for all the problems anymore. It was, it was an interesting couple of days. So I had a couple days where I was, I don't know if I was shocked, sad, mad. I don't know what it was. I drank tequila with my friends who lived next door to me for two days, and then I started reaching out and calling a few friends and one of the first people I called was Mickey drexler, who was the most incredible mentor to me. And then I called my friend Richard baker, who at the time owned lord and Taylor and socks, and he said, I'm so glad. He said, I want you to make a just Bobby store in the middle of lord and Taylor. And I said, okay, and my husband said, you know, I want you to help me with a hotel. So I had two quiet days. But it was my choice. You don't like being bored. No, I get bored very easily, and I just, I like to use my imagination and my mind and my friends and my network. I like being in the middle of it. You had a four year non compete in the cosmetics industry, which note that you couldn't I had a 25 year non compete. We sold the company I signed a 25 year non compete when I left when I left Bobbi Brown cosmetics. I had four and a half years left. Wow. Wow. So you made a necklace with the date, right? Yes, yes. You still wearing it. I'm still wearing it. It's not on today, but yes, I made a I bought an ampersand and on the back I wrote ten 20. I didn't know what I was going to do, but it was signaled my freedom. How did you manage not knowing what your future looked like for the first time in your career? Well, the positive things are I got to do things like see people for lunch for no reason. I got to ride the train instead of being in a car service because I was too cheap to pay my driver. And walk into stores and kind of see what was out there. I kind of felt like George Bush when he left The White House and said, oh, you could just go shopping and put your code in..

"You can also buy off the instagram. We are available. I don't know how they got it. But at the george towel in montclair we have a little pop up. That has some of the products. That's my hotel. That's how they got it. And we're opening a free standing store in montclair in september ish slash october. That will be our first free standing store. We are not in any retail. We'll be doing our first pop up at goop in sag harbor this summer and working on our second one so we're not doing traditional sales which i'm pretty psyched about at the man. That's great really great. Okay three quick beauty questions. You okay with that. I've listened to the podcast that loves makeup. Would be mad at me if i didn't So i feel like. I'm doing it for for my listeners. All right number one. What's the best way to tell if a makeup shade is rate your skin. Honestly the only way is to look in the mirror and if you liked the way it looks. It's the color okay. That's that's the general question but then there's rules like foundation should blend into your skin to know it's the right color. Should be the color of your cheeks when you pinch them like some of those things are just little you know hacks to help you find the right color when you're putting on foundation. Do you use your fingers or a sponge or a. Brush any of that any of that works. I don't even use foundation. I use our face pencils because you don't really need foundation everywhere you just need to even out redness dark spots and anything else that pops up on your face. What is one makeup routine. Most women get wrong definitely picking a foundation. I honestly i find that most foundations out in the world. Don't allow your face to look like skin. It looks like you've got a foundation on. I personally don't like it last one. What's one makeup tip. You wish every person who wears makeup new conceal something to lighten under your eyes makes you look not tired. I think that's really important and a lot of women's skip that because they don't know how to look for the right one and for me. My number one thing as blush if i do nothing else and i'm lucky because i wear glasses so i can get away with looking tired but if i were blush i look better and by the way whatever make up you have whether it's an eye shadow or a blush you could use it on more than one thing. You could make any of your products multipurpose products. There's no rules brown. Thank you so much for making so many people feel more beautiful or not like shit. Thank you thank you for joining today. Delight matters my pleasure. Been looking forward to this. Thank you so much thank you. You can find out more about bobby at.

"Put it the bag and tape the bag with one little neon stripe and we sold twenty five hundred that day just like that. So tell us the origin story of the bag that you created that kind of looks like a lunch bag that use stored jones wrote in. Because when i got my products that came in a little bag with a little bit of weight snap button which is really really charming. Where did that come from. Well you know we did not want to put anything in plastic. We did not want to. You know those little packing things that are environmentally bad and we wanted to keep everything you know. Indie low cost simple and we just found a company that had this fabric. I like your brander. I love creating the logo. I love creating the feel i love. How the logo looks on the packaging. And i believe that everything sends a message so the bag goes in the box. That goes in the note. Every little thing matters the paper clip matters so of course i worried at wrinkled a little bit. But you know what they're supposed to wrinkle linen. It's looks better that way. Yeah exactly so. We have since launched almost every month a new product category. Who did the identity for you me. Honestly well not me. Because i don't even. I don't know graphic design. We had hired a few different people and brought some people in. I ended up finding a graphic designer. Who ended up going to high school with my youngest child. She was one year out of school and she joined freelance and everything she did. I fall in love with so. I have this kid who aaron. Who does everything for me. And we work really closely together. And you know for me. I like bobby. what do you like. I like the. I love that. Oh my god. I love that and aaron. Why don't you try to do this this way because you know i have this vision but i don't have the skills to actually bring my vision to life so aaron. Aaron has been a big supporter and big help. Bobby i have one last question for you but then i have three sort of rapid fire questions. I want to ask your Oh wait. I actually have to ask questions. I read that you wanted to have a hashtag for the brand called how not to look like shit. Well we actually have a hashtag. Because i might be the only one using it. How how not to look like shit. Because i also realized that truly people where makeup right i don't think people that wanna look alluring and sexy are necessarily going to be a fan of jones road. But i'm going to track the women that just wanna look better with makeup. So yes hashtag her not to look like shit. How can people by the new line. We're gonna find you.

I had a book to promote beauty from the inside out and to kind and help me with the george hotel helped me with just bobby at lord and taylor and things just started getting interesting you know. I ended up getting an offer to create a wellness brand. Can you become a certified health coach to do that. i did. I went back to school. And i got my degree as a health coach from institute of integrative nutrition it was all done digitally and so much fun and i just started talking the people and kind of trying different things and especially on the hotel like putting together my favorite brands and products and reaching out to them. And so when you stay at the hotel you'll be sleeping on a casper mattress. You will be having your espresso in the morning. And you will have dyson hairdryer. And onward and onward. So you're once again building an empire. You've launched evolution eighteen. It's a lifestyle inspired wellness line. You've started a website named just bobby dot com and drum roll late last year. You launched your second makeup line in thirty years. Your brand new beauty brand jones road. Is it true you got the name from the ways app. Yes because when you're sitting there deciding what to name this company and i can't use my name which is totally fine did that. We couldn't agree on names. We asked you know writers that we know cop. We hired copywriters. I even had gloria steinem working on names because they did the job. Because oh i'll come up with a name. So what did she recommend. What if i could only find that list because she wrote it on on a piece of her hand out right so then one day my my husband who is my biggest supporter in all of this said to me you got to come up with the name i said i know but and this one's not available and he said we can't even think of launching until and we're starting to run out of time so we were driving to the hamptons and my husband likes to look at google maps and ways because god forbid were in traffic when there's a back road and i put my head down and i looked at said jones road beauty and he said what i said. Doesn't that sound great. He said it actually sounds awesome. And i called the team. I said put me on speaker phone. They said love it and became jones road beauty and for me it. It was like okay. Jones road reminds me of a bespoke brand in the uk. And i'm a total anglophile. It also was like okay. Well i can't use brown. I'll use jones. So i like it. Because i i actually thought was like i have jones for something uh-huh alley and that and that was the last one yup and everyone has a jones for beauty. Exactly yeah exactly so tells about the brand in your various signature products. Well for some of which. I'm wearing well first of all you know working on it. It is a clean brand which just means it's a brand of now because there's twenty seven hundred band ingredients that you cannot have if you wanna be a clean brand. Dc twenty seven hundred twenty seven hundred and that's the truth. So i wanted to create the best products. I wanted to to make this different kind of makeup. Because what happened also while i was still at the brand. When you're part of a big brand in a big corporation you have many people to please and you have to come up with these products for different parts of the country. And i had to approve at the end of my stay products that i just didn't like and you know i was pressured into it. You know where. I never would have had to do that earlier. And i just don't like makeup. That is so heavy and strong. You know things were changing. While i was still at the brand the digital brands the direct to consumer brands but my personal makeup style on myself and on the people i was making up was changing also less makeup more fresh more skin healthier and i just wanted to have make that you could put on the instantly made you look like that. I was always frustrated with some of my artists. That couldn't understand what i wanted because it made everybody look like they had a makeup face.

"You were projecting to sell one hundred in a month. He sold one hundred within the first day. What do you attribute to the success so quickly after launch. Well i think i hit a nerve and you know. I know i'm doing today in the new company too but i think back then i hit a nerve because people really liked the feel of these lipsticks. They liked the colors and it was so different than what was on the market. Where most of the lipsticks on the market. Where the artificial smelly bright lipsticks. These were they were comfortable on your lips and they were colors that worked not just to match your lips but with your skin so there were so easy and they just you put them on. You're like oh my god. It looks good and so it hit a nerve and it was very much word of mouth in the beginning. We didn't advertise and there was no social media. There was nothing that we have today. It was really word of mouth. And also the fact that i was. Pr you know editorial makeup artists so magazines would write about it and it just kinda started taking off. You've talked at length about how you grew up in a time when beauty was a pit amazed by tall. American models like cheryl tea eggs christie brinkley. You've said that when you look at a woman you actually don't see what's wrong with her if they don't look that way you see what's rate with her. Has that always been the case for you. Yes and i've always appreciated interesting beauty. It was you know it was never the classic blonde blue. I you know eighties model or seventies model. I love when i started meeting women of different coloring different things that they had whether it was someone who's mixed and i would always want to know what are you. What are you. And i just always appreciated and back then i mean i can't even believe they called it ethnic beauty which is anyone that wasn't like blonde blue is basically so you know now it's like women was strong noses. I love freckles. I actually like lines in the face. I like character. And i like four lips than i like just different things on different people. After four years just four years you were able to sell your company to estee lauder but even before that you had to big offers you turn down. What made you decide to sell to water. Well i think that when leonard lauder called and i didn't think about selling to esti lodder i thought about selling to leonard lauder when leonard called and asked to meet me i went with a partner to his house and i fell in love with him and he basically said you know you're beating us in the stores. I would like to buy you and at the time. I said we're really not on the market. We're not for sale. He said what. If i could tell you you do what you love and we could do all the things you love. And what if i tell you that you could spend quality time as a mother and with your children and do all the things that bring you. Joy and i was like Interesting and it was an offer that i couldn't refuse so we it was an amazing feeling. I never felt bad. I mean it was an incredible experience. I was thrilled. My husband and i were able to you know send all of our nieces and nephews to college and just it was an amazing thing. Dinnie also tell you that you reminded him his mother. He did and her entrepreneurship when she asked did he did. But i i used to laugh at okay. We both had boys you know she had to. I had three. She would hang out with royalty and presidents and i hung out with basketball players and rap stars and but i think you are sounds a lot more fun. I didn't even though. I really wanna meet the queen. That's been my lifelong dream. Meet some royalty here in the states in twenty ten you were appointed by then president barack obama to the advisory committee for trade policy and negotiation.

"Did it take you to perfect the color palette while we started with brown which was my color. And then you know back then we would just mail things back and forth to each other. It probably took me about six or nine months. You know coincidentally it was the exact same time where i was having my first baby so i had the time and i was not impatient and i had no idea what was going to happen. I really thought. I was just gonna make these lipsticks to sell the models. Maybe sell to my friends. You know in the suburbs where i lived and i had no idea what was going to happen honestly and so i did it and i'm like wow. This is so cool. And i started then selling them out of my home mailing to people. That's how it began. I read that. You got a three line description of the new brand bobby brown essentials in glamour magazine which included your phone number right fat jumpstart your sales did people realize that it did do anything. It did so everything for me just kind of happens for a reason. I was having lunch with a friend who happened to be the beauty editor at the time. And leslie see more. And she's you know. We talked about our first baby and work and she said what are you doing. And i said i'm working on this makeup line and i'm selling these out of my house and she says that's so interesting. Tell me about it she said. Can i write about it. And i was like. Why would you want to write about it now. I know it's called and it jumped. It did jumpstart people knowing about it and we started selling them out of my house. And i think we did that for a year maybe a year and a half and then i one day was at a party in new york and i thanked the person that invited me who someone else brought me to the party and i said to her as i do. I talk to everybody and i said what do you do. And she said. I'm a cosmetics buyer bergdorf goodman i said i have this line lipsticks and she said i'll take him and that kind of started the conversation. Well she said she would take them and then she actually reneged. She did tell us that story. Because that's what am. I favorite bobby brown story. Well she said she would. You know sounds amazing. She'll bring them in and get everyone's opinion and she called me and said everyone's really excited will take them and i said that's so great and then i think it must have been days later. I was at doing a shoot for saks. Fifth avenue their catalog. And i had all the colors. 'cause i was always busy doing something in between you know getting ready for the makeup and one of the art directors came over and said you know. What are you doing that so cool and i sit on launching this line of lipsticks at bergdorf and then later in the day i called in to get my messages on my phone i remember beeper and one of the messages was from the buyer. That said i am so sorry. I have bad news but we can't take the lipsticks right now. Because we don't have any room so i remember my heart sunk into my stomach and i was so bummed out and the art directors came back over to show the other art directors answered omega. We'd love to take this. And i said i don't even know why thought of this and this is after the bergdorf call. I said well you can't have it. Because because i'm launching a burgh doors and then the bergdorf person called back asked me something and i said no worries. It's not a problem because saks wants it.

"All the shoot was at like son is in the middle of the summer so it was in the seven clocks so we started the makeup very very early and we touched up on the beach and there were no mirrors. It was an old calvin klein lipstick where i blotted it on her lip and i was like. Oh my god. It's so beautiful. And patrick has famous the geneal genucel. I'm like all right. We shot it and you never know if it's a cover to cover try and it did become a cover and i heard through the grapevine that naomi was very upset at the time but i think she stopped doing it after that. So she did. I looked couldn't find anything post that cover and now her lips look exactly right like they did on your cover from nineteen eighty nine right so you know i stuck to my gut i i was really bad and i still am doing makeup that i don't find natural and you know i don't really get hired as much to do those kind of jobs anymore. At that point is a makeup artist with essentially access to everything in the market. I understand that you found most products to artificial looking making it really challenging to create a more natural look and at the time. The most popular look was very very white skin with bright red lips and painted sculpted faces. And you wouldn't do that kind of make up in fact i've read that you've stated that you couldn't do that kind of makeup. Yep how come well. I couldn't because i didn't think it looked good so no matter what i did i couldn't do it and i remember the first time i tried. I got hired to do a cover of british cosmo with jerry hall. And she was lovely and she was a very very big model at the time. I had never met her before and when i finished her makeup a handed or mirror. 'cause i always handed people mirrors to say hot. How do you like it. And she looked at it she said. Oh it's very pretty. She said do you mind if i do a couple of things i said. Not at all she said. Could you hammy that. Brush and that pallet. I said sure she sat there and redid her entire face. Contouring over lining whatever. The look of the time was a number one. I learned a lot about certain things that i might not have noticed and number two. She was happy so it became a cover. I still have it somewhere and I couldn't do it myself. She did it and that happened a couple other times with. I'd work with other women that allowed me to do my thing. That didn't even look in the mirror. The first time i did diane sawyer. I did her makeup. I showed her amir. She said sure it's fine. I was like wow things like that are memorable to me. He said you learned a lot from the experience with jerry hall. What did you learn. Well i learned number one that it's really important for the person you're making up for a shoot to feel that they are at their absolute best. Because that's gonna make the best picture. I also learn things like. She did her browse all the way to the edges and use the brush to raise the brow for the arch. So i i took away makeup techniques that i might not have known but then i have kind of made them my my own and that has happened dozens and dozens and dozens of time. I always hand someone the mirror and see if they're happy and it's not always a perfect experience. But i think a partnership when it comes to make up is is the way to go. Most lipsticks on the market at that time looked artificial smelled bad really artificial and had a texture. That was either greasy. See or dry and to create lipsticks that were more. Flattering you mixed commonly used colors that were very popular at the time. Ultra bright fuchsia. Only god the eighties as oranges frosted ping's with a little met beige colored to create prettier more wearable shades..

"I wanna drop out and she said you need to. You can't drop out and she said what do you want to do. And i said i have no idea. She said pretend today's your birthday and you can do anything you want. What would you want to do. I could have said go to paris. I coulda said go clothes shopping. I said i wanna go to. Marshall fields the department store and play with makeup and she said why. Don't you be a makeup artist. I said i don't want to go to beauty school. She said. I'm sure there's a college somewhere and i found emerson college in boston. And that changed. My life of rent of your father's i told you about emerson college and you were ultimately able to create your own major in theatrical makeup. But you've said that the reason that you went the real reason you went to emerson was because of the magic pan cafe. Yes some yes. Tell us that story so as a kid growing up in the suburbs of chicago. We didn't have a lot of outdoor restaurants back then. I flew up to boston. It was very magical boston. Looks like europe and there was this magic pan cafe with umbrellas outside. And i literally flew up two days before emerson's started and i walked into the office and basically anything i said i wanted to do. They said you could do it here. Sure i said okay. And i created my own major and i realize that was the start of how to be an entrepreneur. You said that when you found emerson you found yourself in yet. Why because it was the first time i was with people that were just like me like i always felt. I wasn't as smart as you know the other my other friends. I wasn't as smart as the other kids. And some of my classes and i wasn't interested in traditional education which i didn't realize at the time is because i am a visual creative person but when i went to emerson there was a bunch of quote unquote goof-balls like myself that were creative and passionate and fiery and not afraid to try things and just jumped into all these new experiences like filmmaking in public speaking and whatever else there was and i was studying makeup and i did make up for all the different things at school and you know it was just a really really amazing for me. When did you go from more theatrical makeup to fashion makeup well in college. My degree was in theatrical makeup. Because they it wasn't a fashion school. I didn't even think of it back then. Because i i really only assumed that being a makeup artist meant you worked in tv and movies. I didn't understand that. There was other things so i studied theatrical makeup. I did one film right after i graduated. It was torture for me. It was so boring being a makeup artist sitting on the set. And just waiting for your turn to fix and touch off and continuity and i learned when i picked up a magazine once and read a story about a freelance makeup artist who was doing makeup for fashion week and ads and she just sounded like this amazing career and so i wrote to her and said can i come in assist you for free. She never wrote me back. But when i came to new york i called her. She never called me back on her answering machine at said call her agent which i did and he said come see me and he didn't represent but at least he told me the steps. I needed to take to become a makeup artist in the fashion world. So i did. You've said that at this point in your life one of the best things you had going for you was that you were naive. And in retrospect you felt that you couldn't believe that you had the guts to show your amateur portfolio of makeup work from college in which half of the models were yourself right. yeah. I'm just wondering. Was you really think it was naievty. I think you know. It's also like kinda courageous. Well i think you could look at it both ways but no i. Don't i mean yes. I've always been courageous. Not afraid that someone's going to say something but naive thinking that they might not like this or naive that oh you don't just do this afraid to ask anyone any question. I never have been. I've never thought of..

Cosmetic store will no not formal training. I got it was almost like a job interview at the local. Makeup store was a friend of my mother's i didn't actually work there because my experience at the store was i went in and she said i'm gonna teach you everything i know. I'm gonna show you how to do makeup. And she started with taking everything off and she said well. Your skin is really yellow. So let me make it pink and by the way your noses too big. So i'm gonna show you how to contoured and your lips are too small. Let me show you how you can make them. Bigger and your eyes are very bedier small. Let me make those bigger. And by the time i was done she made me feel like i was the ugliest person and i looked in the mirror and i just said oh my god. I looked terrible. I went home. Didn't cry. I washed my face. And i said i look much better and i never wanted to work there but i did see this woman. Her name was elaine about twenty years ago and she said i am responsible for your success and i said yes you are part of it. That is true but not for the reason you suck at that point in your life. Would you think you wanted to do professionally. I didn't know i mean i was. I was still in high school. So i was more concerned with hanging with my friends and even when it was time to go to college i didn't go look at colleges. I followed a boyfriend. University wisconsin at oshkosh. I graduated high school early. Not because i had great grades but because i just did my homework to be done so i could do something else so i went there for six months and then i went to university of arizona. I was there for a year. And i came home and said mom i school is so boring..

"We're not my passion in life. So i just always loved not glamour. I didn't love glamour. But i just loved ways to better yourself whether it's through diet even back then or certainly with makeup but i used to watch my mom and it was the seventies and so my mother was twenty when i was born so when i she was always twenty years older than me so when i was ten she was thirty and still incredibly glamorous and she pretty much channeled anyone from share to jackie kennedy and she just always had this amazing beauty and perfection about her. I could never compete with that. So i never tried. I always felt so silly when i would do my makeup like she did. So i did it my way into bobby. I don't wanna be pandering. I have been accused at the certainly in the early years of this podcast for funding for my guests. But i do have to say you really beautiful. I don't you come know this like zero and that you thought you be pr. You're really a beautiful woman wear. That's coming from well. Thank you but you know i'm realistic. And i kind of have a sense of humor about it and coming from the suburbs of chicago. I wasn't like my friends that were the cheerleaders wasn't like my friends. That were the student council. I i was in the popular group. But i couldn't really figure out where i belonged. I was kind of and i still. I am chameleon. I would go with one group and i'd fit in then i'd go with another group and you know i've always been a sponge which has served me well in my adult life. But when you're growing up you get insecure and you know i was the shortest one. I've always had a watch every morsel in my mouth. Or i could definitely be you know a very heavy girl at five foot tall. So we are contemporaries we. We grew up at exactly the same time. Our mothers are also twenty years older than both of us. So i have to ask. Was there ever a time when you were green eye shadow. I never wore green show. But i did wear lavender and a little bit of pale blue because i remember on the bus. I would bring this yardley pallet. I had and just put a very small amount close to my lashes. I guess my mother didn't want me to wear makeup at school. So i did it on the bus. I also was not allowed to wear makeup. But i was so desperate. I also brought makeup and nail polish to school and put on the nail polish in the morning and took it off. Before i went home but i were read so it was really hard. Cuticle how did you wear your hair back in the seventies. Oh i have been wearing my hair. The exact same way parted in the middle dark long and whether that's alley mcgraw alley. I still do that. You know people always say where you part your hair. I'm like in the middle and my hair which looked stark. Now is actually a one hundred percent white. I always thought when. I may be turned sixty now that i'm sixty four. I'm like seventy..

One name keeps getting repeated at the checkout stand in Linden's Dollar General that of good low Sutton publisher editor of the democrat reporter newspaper. Pretty you'll get the people around Linden about good Loeser. Bobbi Williams has worked at the store for sixteen years. He remembers a newspaper racks were full of the democrat reporter on the front sidewalk, but about six months ago, another racially charged story changed that and lead to boycotts.
