00:00What are you wearing?
00:03You know what?
00:04Obviously, we're here at Black Dandy.
00:07Inspiration is everywhere.
00:09But my stylist and I, women in Micah,
00:12there was a particular image of a black equestrian from the 1800s.
00:16Her name is Celica.
00:17That we looked at and we were like, we were inspired by that.
00:20And I love that because I want to always have a touchstone.
00:23Also to let people know that we've been here.
00:26Always.
00:27We're here.
00:28Always expressing ourselves.
00:30You know, the concept of a dandy is that there's freedom in that expression, right?
00:35Also because we didn't have the privilege.
00:38It's privilege to be dirty and not put together.
00:41So we always had to be put together, clean, nice.
00:47But we're going to take anything to the moon because we're excellent.
00:51Did you take the black excellence?
00:53Did you come back from filming the agency for this?
00:56I haven't started filming, but we are in production.
01:01I've got to be with the multiplex.
01:03We're in production.
01:04We're going to do that right now.
01:05We're going to do that right now.
01:05We're going to do that right now.
01:07So we're going to do that right now.
01:08We're going to do it right now.
