Be There in Five

This week, Kate has on a special guest that you may have known from the world of bridal design, but given an ongoing legal battle with her former employer, she can no longer publicly identify with her given name and was reintroduced to the world as Cheval in August 2022 (and her namesake line of glam footwear @sheischeval was introduced in October 2022).

As the friendly designer and "America's bridesmaid" on TLC's, "Say Yes to the Dress," she brought over 10 bridal product lines to market, dressed noteworthy female icons like Dove Cameron, Chrissy Teigen, and Carrie Underwood, and became one of the most sought-after luxury bridal designers in the world (VOGUE'S TOP TEN). After 9 years of working under a very one-sided employment contract, her former employer sued her in federal court and gained control of what she believed were her personal social media accounts. She resigned in December 2020 and under the current preliminary injunction, she is prevented from using her own birth name in any business or commerce or even to publicly identify herself. She is also not receiving commission for her designs that are still being sold, and she is restricted from identifying herself as a designer to the trade in which her former employer competes until August of 2027.

The public support has inspired her next mission in launching a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit foundation that provides resources to better protect the interests of young women and creatives during the formative years of their career. She is currently writing a memoir and rebranding under SHE IS CHEVAL.

A Be There in Five Special Report that was recorded uncharacteristically quickly. Details the Ticketmastermind fall out with fans where both Ticketmaster & TaylorNation (allegedly?) poorly planned and forecasted against consumer demand paired with their mutual intentional profit maximizing strategies that instead of dancing in the pit, left us with a pit in our stomach for overpaying because we were underprepared with details TN could have easily released regarding pricing, setup, tiers, VIP perks, etc., or a pit in our stomach for spending multiple days trying to get a seat, only to feel like she took our hand and dragged us head-first, ticketless. This episode may have a poor shelf life; only contains info that Kate was able to find prior to 6 PM on 11/17 and is full of poor mental math and opinions not facts. Enjoy?

This week, Kate provides very Maroon-forward programming with her high-level review of Taylor Swift’s 10th album Midnights (it's totally different from Patreon reaction videos, btw). Now that we’ve had a couple of weeks to let it sink in that karma is a cat, Kate discusses her streams and skips, bread and butter songs versus jams, muses about parallels between sister tracks, goes more in-depth into a handful of songs she’s still analyzing, and also talks about ancillary topics from the past 2 weeks she hasn’t covered, e.g., Anti-hero controversy, Eras tour announcement, Bejeweled video, etc. The last half hour is a semi-intense review of Would've, Could've, Should've from the lens of predatory age gaps, the fetishization of youth, and the implications of young women's virtues communicated as their value, so just a head's up to skip that part if you don't want to be dragged through Kate's confusing thoughts about her past physical interactions that she would've, could've should've probably spared you of. 

Long story short, it was a great time. Nothing and everything good happens after Midnights. Enjoy!
