How was the experience of the reunion for you?

So liberating.

Brooks killed it.

It was a long day, but thank you.

You were clocked in.

I was.

Yes, you were.

Amen to that.

What was, did you feel like that's where that was headed when you heard, you know, that-

I felt very confused because, like I'm obviously, like very close friends with Ariana and good friends with Liam, and I was, I felt like I was, like we were on two separate chapters from what I was being told from both of them.

You know what I mean? So I was trying to decipher like what exactly was going on, and then when Charlie's like saying things like that, on top of it I'm like, "Well, my friend that I trust is telling me completely otherwise from that, so stop talking about her." You know?

How do you decide when you wanna push more in this direction and this direction?

Well, the modeling is so fun because I have my own creative vision with my brand, and I love getting to see other people's creative visions.

Like modeling for other brands is such a cool experience.

Um, and it's, I mean, it's time management I guess at the end of the day.

With the modeling it's way less of a, um, consistent schedule, so to speak.

like the outfit could be so cute but then you throw on like a random tight and i'm like no

I feel like I was ahead of the game with that with my mom.

Like a couple years ago during the winter, I was like, you need to start wearing tights more and like the whole over the heel tight look kind of thing.

Yes.

And the colored tights are huge right now.

I know.

Everyone's like obsessed with them.

Brooks, where can everyone find you and where can they shop this resort collection?

Like, has music always been, like, a big part of your guys' dynamic and stuff?

Yes, I would say so, for sure.

I mean, we had, like, the iTunes library where it was sunk to all of our phones, and so my mom got a lot of my music, and I got hers and whatnot.

So we always, like, bonded over stuff like that.

But her, um, DJ piece of it, I remember she was in, like, Provincetown, I think, five years ago or something, and just, like, got behind the DJ booth, had fun, and then I think she was like, "I'm gonna take this seriously and go from there."

Mm-hmm.

So I feel like she feels the need to defend the things that she's been criticized about, so I don't think that you see the side of her where she's not under fire a lot.

And, um, I don't...

real estate mogul like

she's incredible so i saved up like enough money to create my first samples and purchase order and then um it was like it instantly sold out when i first launched it and i was like this is insane how do i make it again um and it's just like nothing describes the feeling of people enjoying what you create um Honestly, I wanted to create my business because growing up, I always kind of just felt like an outcast, you know, and there was nothing like anyone could really do about it.

But I just didn't really see a brand that... was like, we love everyone, this is for everyone, and it's meant to make you feel not only comfortable in your skin, but be comfortable to wear or experience.

And so that was sort of what I wanted to create with Brooks Marks.

It's something that literally everyone can wear, everyone feels excited about, and no one feels excluded from.

So that is the most rewarding and toughest part of it, is trying to create garments that... really truly compliment every single body.

And that's something I'm really proud of to be able to do to this day.

But if you wanna kind of explain the backstory on that a little bit and how you got the group to come together, just honestly, also the connection of it all, I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, but the pressure that it put on you and why other people's issues affected you as much as they did, throughout the season.

Like those universal panel pants that I launched were so difficult to do for everyone.

So how does this season top last season?

This season you see the dynamics evolve in ways that I couldn't even really see coming, and there's all these crazy instances that occur.

I mean, you'll have to watch and see, but you're definitely in for a treat.

It's very different.

Thank you.

And I love that we've built a friendship this past year.

Um, and then also joining us this season is Liam, who I've been friends with from the city.

Um, and he has this really cool vibe, and is such a multi-talented person and a really good friend.
