Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Let me say it's good to be back in New York City. Thank fucking God, actually. Oh, my. I love New York. New York makes a noise. This crazy city. No, I'm driving back to New York City. You have no idea. I made my triumphant return to Chicago. Triumphant return? Well, yes.
I've been back to Chicago since then, but one of my favorite trips as a child was going to Chicago to go to the American Girl doll store with auntie. And we had tea with my American Girl dolls. And actually, oh my God, wait. I literally, I need to post this photo. I went to the American Girl doll store. And did you ever read American Girl, the magazine? That was never my gospel or truth.
Oh, interesting.
You didn't even have Addie? I was anti-America from the jump, so. Every black girl had Addie. She was the slave doll. I remember. Okay. Of course she was. They said, ooh, shit. Let's make her a slave, shall we? She was liberated, though, eventually.
Yes. It was actually a really – talk about historical fiction. Like, it was really educating the youth. Anyway, no, so I went to the American Girl doll store when I was, like, maybe eight or nine years old. And my first foray into magazine publishing, there was, like, a modeling thing where you could, like, get your photo on the cover of an American Girl magazine.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
And I did that with two of my dolls, with Addie and another doll. It was actually really special. Anyway, so we were in Chicago. That all happened in Chicago. Yeah. We went to Chicago to lose an Ambie award. Yeah, but we won the baddest bitch award. We were looking really hot for the Ambie awards. But at the same time, if I'm going to lose an award, it better be to Stevie Wonder.
And that's why I lost it too.
