00:00I'm Melissa Rivers and this is take us back. This photo all I can honestly look
00:06at is my mom's hair and even better the phone behind her. I'm not sure this
00:15gives me a major memory but it certainly gives me a wow. This was in my parents
00:23New York apartment so I was probably around three that's right when we moved
00:28to LA and I love this it's just so super 70s just the hair the lashes the
00:35top you know and the phone. Oh this next photo I was very very very pregnant. I
00:47look at it now and go oh my god I was huge but I actually wasn't. That's the
00:53crazy thing people are always like you're not showing you're so small and I
00:57am looking I got a boob flying out. I got I am just huge. This was the Emmys
01:05so it was September and I had my son December 1st. Man look at me I was just
01:11a I was pregnant. I was clear when I first thought I was like I'm like oh I
01:16was pregnant. This next photo first of all what cracks me up this was obviously
01:21the Golden Globes is my high FB is coming out which is our little ear
01:26pieces is coming out of the collar of my dress because it was obviously going
01:30around the back and into my ear and it's such a lovely moment that I did not
01:35realize it was there. This was also this dress was Jean-Baptiste Duval and it was
01:40one of my favorite dresses. It was brown and it had this long tassel that wrapped
01:47around your neck and it was heavy enough that it stayed and it had been a sample
01:52and they had said I could keep it and then after the show I guess they got
01:57good feedback because they said they wanted it back so they could make it
02:00because it was the only one I had and they swore they would sell send it back
02:04and they never did but to this day I remember to this day I remember that was
02:08absolutely one of my favorite dresses and God look at my mom just the short
02:13short hair the red just seriously I mean who could pull that collar off I could
02:20she also the skinniest little neck. She had the tiniest little like the
02:24tiniest little bird bones and after she passed like I went to put on a choker I
02:33mean just such little fine bones I couldn't get on any of her rings like
02:39she was so fine. My mom and Dolly first of all look at Dolly's earrings you know
02:50those are real and then my mother of course head to toe could she have got
02:56another Chanel chain around her neck I'm not really sure that was possible so you
03:04know she loved her Chanel I have no idea where this was but nonetheless so
03:11funny Chanel you know and I'm sure under whatever that wrap is is a Chanel jacket
03:18oh god just my hair alone but look hey let's just my mom's necklace clearly
03:28real clearly not something we owned because if I did this would be my plane
03:35like I would not have the necklace I would have a plane. That pink dress again
03:40one that I loved I you know and I actually this one did well for me on the
03:44red carpet but the first time I wore this dress I want to say was either at
03:49the Globes or the Emmys and I forget who I was interviewing and they came up and
03:55they said I almost wore that dress and that's when you realize like everybody's
04:00being shown same things obviously I was lower down on the pecking order than
04:05this particular person but they're like it looks good on you didn't look that
04:09good on me but that's what I remember about this dress
