Ask. Us. Anything.

going crazy? Um? Should we just get into it? Yeah? You go first, Okay. Um, the first question is tips about self confidence. I will try and give as many tips as I am also trying to work on this and learn this. Um. I don't know if I'll ever reach pe self confidence for a long time. It's like

a long process, but we're on the journey. I think. Um, I would say, um something and I know I've talked about this, but trying to not compare myself to other people on social media is is a huge one and something that instead of being like, oh my gosh, they're so pretty, I want to look like them, you could just stop it as oh my gosh, they're so beautiful.

Move on. Like, I know it's harder to do, but I think, like I think even just like little things like for me, I when I'm drinking a lot of water, when I'm eating things that make me feel good. If I'm internally like loving myself and feeding myself good things, then externally I feel like I can see some results and not. And I'm not saying like looking like super fit and whatever. It's literally just like feeling good. I even noticed drinking so much water, my skin looks so

much better. And then I'm like, oh, I feel good about myself because, you know, or even just doing like every night before I go to bed, I really take time doing my skincare and that's like a form of self love and of self care, and so I feel like it brings me confidence when I'm like, you know, taking time to nurture myself. I think for me, it's when I like change my hair or like get new clothes or like new jewelry or new makeup or something

like I feel like hype yourself up right. I feel like I feel the most confident when I, you know, do something kind of like impulsive and like, you know what I'm saying, you're like, I did I just did that right. I always feel like when I chopped my hair, I was like, wow, this is like I'm like a new person, Like I feel so free and but like

I I feel like it depends on the person. Like sometimes you know, I feel confident without makeup and I like don't want makeup for a week because I'm like, wow, I feel so good, or like taking baths like is really relaxing and like you feel so calm, And I would say, like you know, skincare and like kind of just taking care of yourself and doing kind of like a spa thing always makes you feel great and confident. Totally.

It's like it's so hard though it really is, but I feel like we're all going, especially anyone who's in our generation, especially with social media. We it's hard, but I feel like we're all on the journey to like figuring it out and trying to really take care of

ourselves and and learn self confidence. Yeah, I feel like this year is like everyone's year with like fashion and like I feel like everyone's kind of finding and just doing you and not copying, not trying to be someone you're not, just like doing you and embracing all the good parts and all the bad parts about your ex um. Oh okay, what is your travel must have? Travel must have? I mean headphones. Like if I travel without headphones, it's going to be a horrible travel day, you know what

I mean? Or like I have to buy them at the airport. Yeah, always, I hate the ones on the plane, right, oh my god. But like I have this playlist that I've had for so long. It's literally like five hours long because there's so many songs on it, and I just shuffle it and I go to sleep and I because it's like the airplane noise is really annoying. So like when you're listening to music for hours and hours and you wake up to the same song, it's like, oh my god, this song has been one. Right, But

it's definitely like headphones or chapstick. I'm like a sweatcher. Yeah, I've started like bringing socks, like really nice fuzzy socks because the plane is so cold always, right, So I feel like that, and like, yeah, headphones for sure. I hate when I forget headphones. Yeah, if you don't wear headphones on a plane, you're strange. Unless some people just like sit in silence on a plane. I can't. I will get so bored, or I applaud people who can

who can fall asleep sitting up straight. No, my feet are like I'm like, I'm the guy in here can see this? Yeah, or like in the guy next to me, I have my knee on his like arm rest. I'm like, I'm so sorry, but I'm not moving exactly. I will not move. Yeah, Okay, go ahead. Um. Is it hard not living together? No, I think it's I think it's made us, um, but our friends. I think, like obviously, I'm it's It was so nice sometimes to just like go in your room, like if I'm bored on each

other's room. But now we live so close that literally like if I'm like, what are you doing, You're doing nothing. You're like, oh, I kind of need TELP to something. I'll just come over. It's so easy, so we still like make it work. I feel like we see each other a lot. I think, Um, we keep talking about quarantine in these episodes, but I'm just saying, like we got really close over quarantine. That's when it was like the best time when we live together, because we would

like work out every night together. We would like play games all day, Like we actually had fun. That was like the first time we had fun hanging out with each other. We didn't have an excuse but to hang out with each other, and like our boyfriends would play video games and we didn't want to do that, so we would like do our own thing exactly. And I think, well, we have this plan, We've had this plan for like a few years now that like we're going to just get an apartment for a year in New York and

live together. That would be so much fun, which we we have to do that sometimes at some point in our lives. I think, like in our early twenties for a year, that would be so much fun, right, or we just get a place out there and then go back and forth, but like we have to be responsible. True, Um,

that's too much work, okay. Um. Do you think you were affected by having like a public childhood M Yes and no. I feel like I I feel older than kids age um, which is good and bad because you know, most of my It's good that most of my friends are in the industry to where like we're kind of all on the same level, but it's harder to hang out with kids that are my age so most of the time I'm hanging out with older people, which is kind of it's like a good thing that where we've

had to mature quickly, but also it's hard because we can't. It's it's kind of hard sometimes to hold a conversation with someone like our age who doesn't understand our industry, because it's like, you don't want to be that. We're like when we go home and if we see someone we don't want to like talk about work and then to have to try and explain it and they're like

confused by it. It's just like, which is not it's totally understandable, but it's kind of like it's just that was our childhood and we just don't know anything different, and so it's hard to just it's like an unspoken thing, right. I think it's It's really nice though, because like where we live in Pittsburgh, we have like these three friends

that have been our friends since neighbors. Yeah, since we like one lives across, like two of them live across from us, and then one lives two houses down, and like we've always been close with them, and it's never been weird. It's never been like we've never care about our work, like it's it's just really amazing because like

I love going home and seeing them. But it's like when I see people from my old school like around because obviously we all live in the same town, like it's always awkward and they always are like, oh my gosh, like and it's like weird, and it's just like I've known you, Like it's just because I moved doesn't mean I'm not the same person that you could when I was in second grade. But other than that, like I

think moving out are sorry moving out? I think like, well, yeah, I guess leaving Pittsburgh and like being in the public eye, I think the only difference is like you don't do the normal childhood activities, like you don't go to problem, you don't go to perm with my style on a lot of but I don't even care that I missed out on that, Right, I used to care, and now I'm just like everyone says, it's not even It's also funny too, because I feel like we'll go to like

let's say we go out one night here in l A. We're like, oh, this is like a form of like what we missed out on, right, It's it's funny because I've been to like a few like normal I call them normal parties because like social media. Yeah, social media parties are so different from high school parties, and the high school wants are way more fun because everyone's dancing everyone like no one cares like, and then you go to the social media party and it's like everyone's standing

in the corn like awkward, awkward and staring at people. Right, you know, I miss we missed out on a few things, but like, I wouldn't have it any other way. Like, I feel like we're very thankful for what we have and our life, and you know it's hard, but sorry, that's a whole rant. M hm. Out of all of the celebrities that you have met, who are you most star struck by? That's a good question. Only person I've like, genuinely been so star struck over was my favorite. One

of my favorite drag queens named Naomi Smalls. She came to your birthday party. She surprised me for my eighteenth birthday, and you were there. You cried. I saw her, and I turned around and I went into a different room and I started crying, and I could. I really don't care about celebrities but drag queens are my everything. They are and I think too because to see Naomi in the flesh in person, she's over six ft tall, massive,

like long, perfect legs are insane. I was like, you are an angel and I don't know what to say, and I'm just in awe, like I couldn't believe it. And every time I looked her in the eyes that day, like I'd have to look away because I was like, this is too much for me. I can't handle this. Like we also brew up watching RuPaul's Dry so and that's one of my favorite shows. You got me into that show and I and that's the scenes you watched was nameI remember Bob the Drag Queen and don't even

get me started. I know, literally it's such a good show. So yeah, definitely Bob the Drag Queen. I don't sorry, I don't know if I've ever been superstar struck over anyone else. I think who When we were younger, we got really star struck by Justin Bieberg. Oh my gosh, of course when we were eight. I was six. Yeah, so I think that was one of the first celebrities we ever met. I think we were it was our

first Red carpet. It was our first red carpet. We went to the Kid's Choice Awards Choice Awards and oh my god, I like remember this moment. It was so cute. It was really cute. So Justin Bieber, he like we were waiting for him on the red carpet for like the longest time because we knew he was going to be there, and all of us girls like we went to the Justin Bieber concert like we were, I mean, every single girl was in love with him. And he walked in and we were literally standing right next to

him while he was on the red carpet. We're all like bawling our eyes out, and then we asked him for a photo and his managers like, no, no, no no, he can't take photos right now. And remember he was like, no, guys, come on, come on, And then we were dying and I just remember after that, I told Mom I was right under his armpit because he were next to him writing the photo. So cute. That was cute. But I think I think I've talked about this, have I who I got stars struck by Dr Phil? I got really

stars struck by Dr Phil. I don't I don't freak out over anyone, like I really just don't. I feel like we're all the same person. But for some reason, I think Dr Bill is hilarious, and it's it's when you watch someone so consistently, like you watch a show. I watched Paul Strikers all the time, so it's like when you see them in real life, it's actually like crazy. Right. Well, because Rachel she Um, we got tickets. It was like six in the morning, like Emily and I got up

so early to go to this thing. But I was so excited and I had no idea that I was going to meet him. I thought I was just watching the show. And so these people from backstage like pulled us and like I was back and I was like, wait, what are we doing? I thought they were like moving seats, like what's happening? And he walks out and I was like, oh my god, wait what, Like this is so crazy? And he was so nice. He was like, how crazy was that episode? Right? It's so crazy, You're gonna love

the next one. And I'm like, what is happening? I told him too. I was like I never get start struck over anyone, but there's something about you that you just have a special something. It just feels like my grandpa that it's really embarrassing. Okay, it's a good one. If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I know yours. Actually I don't know yours anymore. I've literally loved right, you know. I I don't love my name, but I just feel like I just don't

look like anything else. Like I feel like I could see you having a really interesting name, yeah, like something out of the ordinary. Like Mom gave us pretty basic names. Yeah, Maddie Mackenzie is really basic. Oh you remember Mom, you were actually named Taylor and you were to Panga. No, I wasn't to Panga. That's just like she was going to name you to Panga. I would literally like send myself because what if someone's listening to this and their name is to Panga. No. But for me it doesn't work.

I think it would look really cute. Literally go home. I'm gonna start calling you to Taylor. But like it was weird because mine I was already born, so it would have been Madison and Taylor, and that just is not it true. I always forget that your name is Madison because you're just Maddie, Like you're I don't call you Mackenzie did times on accident and You're like, you get so upset. I just I don't know why. I just feel like Mackenzie just does not suit me. I

feel like Ken's or Kenzie is just better. Kenneth Kenneth Kenny yah. Um, But honestly, I don't know what do I look like to you? Bertha God, I'm just kidding. I don't know you. You are you and that's it. Okay, well that was the question. Okay, Um, what app do you use the most? Do you think YouTube? Me too? Actually I watch YouTube way more than TikTok. I would say same, those are my top two? Or like cod mobile? Yeah, what does your go to late night? Stack? Frosted flakes?

Y Cereal is the best cereal at like midnight bebbs for me? That yeah, An especially so good with oat milk. Who gets excited about me? I was an almond milk girl for a long time, an almond milk girl, and it really changed my mind. He always got oat milk, and I was like, it's just I don't understand, like it doesn't matter, like it's feel like they all taste the same. No. But then I was getting my coffee with alme milk forever, and then I tried his and I was like, oh my god, I think almond milk.

Oat milk is creamier. It has more of like it has like a thinger consistency. Anyway, sounds delicious. Um, what is your favorite hairstyle? I knew you were going to say that one, and for some reason, because I'm curious. I love a good blowout. I love like a nineties blowout. It looks really good. Um. I have been doing this hairstyle like every day because it really works if you have greasy hair on the top but it's still straight exactly. So I'll do like my straight hair and then I

do half a puff down and slick. Your hair is so long. Oh my gosh, you're just saying that because you've really I know. Um, I think since I um cut my hair my favorite couple hairstyle, I can't do anything. These are the only things I can do to my hair. You can do a bun with a thousand bobby pins around it. I do, yeah, a button with a thousand bobby pins, and then it takes so long to get it out, So sometimes I just sleep in it and it's terrible. Um, what should happened last? Saying? Mom washed

my hair in the sink today? Um, but I think I love doing like the twists in my hair or like es. Yeah, and I also do half of half down like every day with a bun because it looks so cute with your hair cut. It looks cute with my hair short. And also like, I can't put all of my hair up in a bunah unless I like slick it with hairs right. But once you go there, there's no going back. Yeah, that's the thing. If my hair to wear my hair, it won't be the same.
