Keeping Up With The Chaldeans - Bonnie's Creations [5:00-10:03]

Everything was like browns and gold and people's houses and now that's like white and silver. Yeah. Twenty. What year are we in? 2026. 2026. So I took over fully in 2021 and I started in 2007. She took over in 21. I asked her, I said, Lauren, do you want it? She said, yes. I said, go ahead. Take over. I'm done. I don't want to do it anymore. Now I just forward her phone number and everybody just calls her and orders through her. So yeah. At one point, it was a mother daughter business and now it's more daughter more, but we still say it's mother daughter. Yeah. Of course. Of course. Her legacy will live on. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. And before we started rolling, I asked if there was going to be a name change. And you said. No, I would never change the name. This is her like queen. The queen. The queen. Queen's name will live forever. Body's creation. Body's creation. Body's creation. I'll never change it. It goes on to my daughter one day. It's always going to be born as creations. So what's the process? It sounds like, and maybe it's a caldian thing, but there's, is there an order form? Is there a way to order things like through e-commerce? No. I tried websites like taking it over in caldians. Caldians. Yeah. You know what? They just message me. You know, Venmo Zell. Yeah. At that point, like it's plus they want to see samples and they're like, yeah, it's hard not like you're going to go to a website and say, okay, let me just download this picture and pick a frame or pick a candle. They'll call her and they'll say, I want St. Charbole or I want an angel wings or everything is different. Or can you put my mom and dad and my sister and my brother all in one candle or so it's everything very custom. Everything is custom. Yeah. So you mentioned a show that kind of kicked off your Bonnie's creation. It's Shana Doha. Shana Doha. It's Shana Doha. Shana Doha. Shana Doha. Shana Doha with Calc, right? Yes. Was Calc at the time? Yes. And now I don't know if it's called something else, but I always call it Calc. I did a lot of those shows or the ladies women, women of charity. I did, I did those shows. I also did. My stuff was also displayed inside of MGM Grand Detroit casino. Okay. And I also did a wedding gala of 5,000 brides at MGM. They had 5,000 brides come through, so I had to have everything for brides. Brides? Yes. So that I did that. I've had my stuff displayed there for a while. And where else did I have my stuff displayed at a few stores, like boutique stores. So there's a way to buy this stuff off the shelf somewhere. We have to do that. Not anymore. Okay. I used to do that, where I used to. I'd be willing to do that, though. Yeah. But it's hard when it's custom. The enrols of you. Everything is custom. Well, the custom stuff is different. I did change the game a little bit a couple of years ago where I'm doing canvases. It's a canvases. It's a canvases. It's like a, like, it's like a tapestry, but it's like a canvases box. No, I know what a canvases box. It's like an 8x10 or 11x14. It's Mother Mary or Jesus. Like walking on water, more of like the modern stuff. Gotcha. And yeah, I would definitely do that, like, on displays for people just buy whenever. So the reason why I alluded back to the show, are there any shows coming up? We are so known right now. I did want to know for a year ago. There's a lot of work for... It was just the packing and I already knew everybody that came to the show. Noomi. Yeah, yeah. You know, Bonnie, hey, Bonnie, I want to, you know, and did help. You do get a few communion orders. But with my following Instagram, my Snapchat, I display stuff and it kind of reminds people, oh, Bonnie's, you know, creations and... So who's managing that social media side of things now? Me. You do manage all her pages? Yes. That's cool. Yeah, I don't do anything anymore with Bonnie's creations. Yeah. Yeah, it's all her. So to kind of put those little spotlight on you now that you took over and that, but let's talk a little bit about your bout with fame. Is it TikTok? Yeah. So I started on TikTok. I've always been, like, literally, like, when I was a kid, like, on Vine. Like, I just loved creating content, making people laugh was my favorite thing to do. Yeah. Whether it was family, friends, social media, whatever it was. But I started TikTok and, like, when it came out, like, 2018, 2019, didn't really get much, but then, in, well, 2019, like, I had, like, 20,000 followers and I was, like, whoa,
