00:00 Okay, this is gonna be like a little sneak peek
00:02 into a morning routine with me and how I get ready,
00:06 some of the products that I use.
00:07 I'm also gonna show you what I like to wear,
00:09 which is always eclectic.
00:11 Okay, let's go.
00:12 I'm a high-low, meaning I can throw on a pair
00:19 of like Gucci loafers with a gold necklace,
00:22 but then also wear a cute, gorgeous necklace
00:26 that you can't tell the difference
00:27 when it's not pulled by another brand.
00:30 This is one of my highs, okay?
00:33 La Mer moisturizing cream.
00:35 Just put a little dab on here on my fingertips
00:39 and I put it on my face.
00:41 Love it, makes my skin really nice and supple.
00:43 I got a bigger mirror over here.
00:48 Let me look, okay, perfect.
00:50 Okay, now I'm gonna put on my foundation.
00:53 So I put on my concealer
00:55 and I've been using NC35 by MAC for decades
01:00 and I really love it, really, really love it.
01:02 Okay, now I'm gonna put on my foundation, my base,
01:05 which is also MAC and this is NC40.
01:08 My brother and I would joke around
01:10 'cause my brother was a DJ back in the day
01:12 and we would say, "Are you gonna put on raw base?
01:14 "Tin DJ, easy, Rob, hit it."
01:17 [imitates drumming]
01:18 You know, I love music.
01:19 Anyway, so I'm putting on my raw base right now.
01:22 Now I'm gonna put on some eyebrows,
01:24 just fill them in just a little bit
01:27 and I'm gonna go.
01:28 What was it like walking in the Miami Swim Week show?
01:33 Oh, you guys, it was surreal.
01:34 It was absolutely amazing.
01:38 You know what's really interesting too
01:40 is that I made sure that I was present the entire time
01:45 because throughout my career working at the university,
01:47 I always had to be, because I was associate dean,
01:50 I always had to be steps ahead,
01:52 I always had to prepare for the worst,
01:54 I always had to have plan A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
01:56 So I was never in the present
01:58 'cause I was always so worried about what could
02:01 or would happen and I would have to be prepared.
02:04 But for the fashion show, I so wanted to be in the moment
02:08 and I actually was and I had the time of my life.
02:12 Okay, eyebrows are done.
02:13 Now I'm gonna curl my lashes a little bit more
02:16 and while I am curling my lashes,
02:19 I'm gonna answer another question.
02:22 What has been a highlight of this experience so far
02:26 with Sports Illustrated?
02:27 I'm gonna have to say that the highlight,
02:30 well, there's been many,
02:31 but what I'm gonna say got very highlight, highlight
02:33 was actually Swim Week.
02:36 I know that everybody got to go to the launch
02:40 of the 2023 magazine in New York,
02:44 but I couldn't go because my encore career, yay,
02:50 booked me a month long Mediterranean cruise,
02:53 which was a lot of fun,
02:55 but I really wanted to meet the other six finalists,
02:58 which I finally got to do during Miami Swim Week.
03:03 So I got to meet the other lovely six finalists.
03:06 I got to meet MJ and the SI Swim team who are phenomenal.
03:11 Oh my gosh, and Vandala.
03:13 Oh my God, legend.
03:14 She was so kind and so sweet to me.
03:16 Roshamba, just gorgeous, so, so sweet to me.
03:20 And it was just, it was a lot of fun.
03:22 So that I have to say is probably the highlight for me
03:25 so far.
03:26 Why was walking the Miami Swim Week runway
03:29 with your custom Gone Gray and Still Slay bag
03:33 so important to you?
03:34 Oh my gosh, well, first of all,
03:35 I was so surprised that I got that bag.
03:38 Thank you so much, MJ and the SI Swim team.
03:42 I cherish that bag.
03:44 I think, you know, the Gone Gray and Still Slay,
03:47 it means a lot to me because I think for some reason
03:51 in America, once you turn gray,
03:54 it's like you're a has-been, you're old,
03:56 you're frail, you're weak, you're not sexy anymore.
04:00 It's like you're over the hill, the list goes on and on.
04:04 And I'm here to say,
04:05 with all the gorgeous silver foxes out there,
04:09 that you know what?
04:10 We're Gone Gray, but we can still slay.
04:14 Yeah.
04:15 Hey guys, one of the steps that I forgot was powder.
04:19 I use MAC Studio Fix and this color is NC40.
04:24 So I forgot to tell you that I put on powder.
04:28 There we go.
04:29 What I started wearing right after swim week
04:33 because I met so many great people
04:35 and so many great companies,
04:37 was this bronzer by Dibs, guys.
04:41 Oh my gosh, Dibs.
04:44 They are phenomenal, not to mention,
04:46 just really nice people, just really authentic people.
04:49 So there's like a blush and then there's a bronzer
04:52 and I love this bronzer.
04:54 And it's called, let me just get my glasses, hold please.
04:58 Oh, here's my high-low stuff, guys.
05:00 Remember I talked about high-low.
05:00 These are my low because I lose readers all the time.
05:04 I get these at the Dollar Tree for our,
05:06 well, it's not the Dollar Tree anymore
05:08 'cause everything's at $1.25, but nonetheless, Dollar Tree.
05:12 And this is, this bronzer is iced chai.
05:17 So it's just so cute because you just stick it on,
05:20 little dab will do ya, people.
05:22 Little dab will do ya.
05:23 And then I just like take my little finger
05:26 and I go like this, right?
05:28 So now I'm gonna show you an outfit
05:29 that I'm gonna wear today.
05:30 And I don't know about you guys, but for me,
05:33 I love all different types of fashion.
05:38 And picking out an outfit,
05:40 it depends upon my mood in the morning and when I wake up.
05:43 And now that I'm retired,
05:45 I have more freedom to wear kind of what I really want.
05:50 And I really couldn't wear my Duff Martins
05:52 and just pair of ribbed jeans and stuff
05:54 to the university as an associate dean.
05:57 So now I get the freedom to choose whatever I want to wear.
06:00 I'm going to wear my Gucci loafers today,
06:04 a pair of pants, just like cute little pants,
06:08 throw on pants.
06:09 I've got just a black tank top
06:12 and then this really cute jacket that I saw at Kohl's
06:17 and it's by In Tempo.
06:20 And I just liked it.
06:23 I liked all the colors.
06:24 So the jewelry that I'm gonna wear is a gold necklace.
06:28 Oh my gosh, I love this, guys.
06:30 This is by Electric Pix.
06:33 Oh my gosh, it says Virgo on it.
06:36 I love this.
06:37 I love this, I love this, I love this.
06:39 I'm also going to wear this ring.
06:41 I got this ring on my cruise
06:43 when on my modeling gig and I got it in Corsica.
06:48 No, Malta, excuse me, Malta.
06:51 I got this in Malta.
06:51 And then just a pair of hoops, gold hoops.
06:55 Okay, this is my outfit, guys.
06:57 I hope you like it.
06:58 It's a little bit more conservative.
07:01 You know, like I said, I retired last year
07:03 and I like my funky stuff,
07:05 but because I'm gonna be working today at the university
07:08 in an advising capacity as a consultant,
07:11 I need to be a little bit more conservative.
07:13 Oh, in case you were wondering,
07:15 my lipstick is by Sephora and it's called Sephora Rouge.
07:18 This is the color.
07:19 And then my glasses are by Zenni, Zenni Optics.
07:24 That's a little bit about me.
07:25 I wanna just also say thank you so much
07:29 for everyone who's reached out to me,
07:31 direct messaged me, texted me.
07:34 I feel your love.
07:35 Thank you so much.
07:36 This is all new to me.
07:37 And so, you know, all of those words of encouragement
07:42 and support really, really do mean a lot.
07:44 And thank you so much.
07:46 (upbeat music)
