8:00 pm

I’m winding down now…

You’re getting ready for bed?

Yes… so I can wake up refreshed and alert at 5:00 am!

😅😅😅 that’s making me nervous again…

Hmmm… how else can we reframe this…

I don’t know. I think you’re right. I just have to suck it up. Just get through it.

Have you told them that this is your last year?

Yes.

Really?!?!?!??! 😳

Yeah. It’s mutual. We all get it.

What do you mean…

It’s been good but it’s not necessary for 2026. It’s just business. On both sides. It’s nothing personal. 

Oh… kay…

At the end of the day, we’re actually very similar to corporate guys in their suits. When it comes to these sorts of business talks. There’s no emotions. We are very straightforward about this.

Oh…

It’s not like that with women?

I haven’t been in that many of those sorts of meetings but I suppose in my experience with women it has been emotionally exhausting, yes… for me, personally. Maybe it wasn’t their intention but I found it emotionally exhausting…

The thing is, you assume people are good… and then they turn out not to be… me, I’m never surprised when people turn out to only care about the bottom line.

It’s not like… it’s not that simple… for me, these days… I’ve grown out of some of my previous naivety as well…

But some memories… are still a little jarring…

Jarring?

We can talk about it face to face…

I’m surprised you won’t share it on the blog…

You know what? Some of those corporate women are probably your brand’s customers as well.

Oh? They are?

Of course!!! Isn’t it so obvious?!?!?!

Hmm…. 🤔… what do I do with this information?

Nothing… you can put it down after you finish walking imagining that you’re walking for someone like Kris Jenner.

Cos you’re gonna get an adrenalin rush and of course there’s plenty of applause and then your fans will boost your ego on social media but at the end of the day you remember why you said “nah, not in 2026” and then you will also remember this conversation and like “oh well!” Cos you’re not really catering to those types of corporate women, it doesn’t mean anything to you if those are a core demographic of this brand’s customers…

(Nodding)… I think that… I might still do something fashion related in 2026… because you love fashion… but… maybe not the same ways that I’ve done in recent years…

Yes my love. There’s always room for more creative collaborations. You’d probably rather be featured as the background music or be in the middle on a rotating stage singing or performing with your bros while the models walk around y’all playing live music than be featured as a catwalk model…

🤯 you just… that is like, the best idea ever for a fashion show!!!

Is it?

Yes!!!!!!!! Like why don’t they just let us perform and then the models walk around us?!?!?! THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE TO ME!!!

😅😅😅 lolllll… gnite my love!

Remember you’re not the creative director of this show!!!

Do whatever you want in 2026 if you’ve already told them no more.

But for this show… you’ve got this!

You’ve rehearsed enough.

You’re ready.

My eyes are closing now I’m feeling sleepy… and when I wake up it’s my alarm telling me to join your livestream 🥰🥰🥰

I just need more kisses…

😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️
