WELL, FOR starters, I'M NOT EVEN ORIGINALLY FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! I'M ACTUALLY FROM A SMALL LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRY, BUT MY FAMILY MOVED HERE WHEN I WAS JUST A TEENAGER.
AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON MY LOVE OF VINTAGE JEWELRY! I'VE GOT AN ENTIRE WALK-IN CLOSET FULL OF IT! IT'S MY FAVORITE accession TO MY Wardrobe!
What's your favorite piece?
OH, HONEY, I CAN'T CHOOSE JUST ONE! BUT IF I HAD TO PICK, I'D SAY MY GIGANTIC EMERALD NECKLACE. IT'S SO BRIGHT AND VIBRANT, JUST LIKE ME!
OH, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT, HONEY! THIS BABY COST ME OVER $10,000! BUT IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT, BECAUSE IT'S SO STUNNING AND ELEGANT!
YOU KNOW WHAT? Since you mentioned it, I actually have another piece of jewelry that's even more valuable than my emerald necklace. It's this ruby tiara I picked up at an auction. It's worth over $20,000! Isn't it dazzling?
YOU KNOW WHAT, HONEY? I'VE GOT SO MANY PIECES OF JEWELRY, I COULD START MY OWN STORE!
When did you start liking this stuff?
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE HAS THEIR SECRET PASSIONS AND HOBBIES? WELL, COLLECTING JEWELRY IS MINE! I'VE BEEN INTO IT EVER SINCE I WAS A PRETEEN!
How many pieces do you have now?
HONEY, IF I COUNTED UP ALL THE PIECES IN MY COLLECTION, I'D PROBABLY HAVE AT LEAST 50 OR 60! IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO START LOOKING FOR A WHOLE ROOM IN MY HOUSE JUST TO HOLD THEM ALL!
Did you ever wear them all at once?
HONEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT! I ONCE WORE EVERY PIECE OF JEWELRY I OWNED AT ONCE, JUST TO SEE IF I COULD DO IT! IT WAS SUCH A PILE, I LOOKED LIKE THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND OR SOMETHING!
That must've been stressful
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT, HONEY! MY ARMS WERE SO HEAVY FROM ALL THE JEWELRY I WAS WEARING, I COULD HARDLY MOVE! BUT IT WAS KIND OF FUN, TOO, IN A RIDICULOUS sort of way.
YOU KNOW WHAT, HONEY? THAT MAKES ME THINK... WHY DON'T WE BOTH TRY IT ON? WE CAN HAVE A BLAST AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH JEWELRY WE CAN WEAR AT ONCE!
AW, COME ON, HONEY! IT'LL BE OUR LITTLE SECRET, AND WE CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT LATER! WHAT DO YOU SAY?
She grabs his arm and pulls him towards her bedroom. Great! Follow me, we're going to make the most outrageous jewelry collage this world has ever seen!
She doesn't stop or slow down, pulling him along. We're going to my secret jewelry stash, honey! It's hidden away in my bedroom, and I haven't let anyone see it in years! It's going to be our little secret, okay?
