SCENE

All Tom, all the time! Tom Ford brought out a slew of top types for his return to NYFW. Cindy! Kim! Jimmy Iovine! It was a spectacle for the ages, and irrefutable proof that this week, New York Fashion Week is where everything is happening. • Lunching ladies, chatty eds, and men in short pants united at Lincoln Center for the FIT Couture Council Luncheon, honoring Thom Browne. An intriguingly clad Whoopi Goldberg presented the designer with his award, but before she did, she discussed her NYFW agenda with your Daily. “I don’t have my list [of shows] with me, but what I do know is I’m going with my granddaughter,” she said. Got it!

Has doing a TV show with Snoop gotten you more into rap? I’ve always liked rap. I like that kind of staccato poetry, and the honesty of it all. You’ve hosted some great guests… Yes, we just had Jamie Foxx and Patti LaBelle. We also had Puff Daddy and Usher on

the same show. Who knew they had a little bit of a tiff? They covered that up pretty well. What else is new? I’m coming out with all kinds of garden tools and food based on my recipes, so watch out for my pâté brisée pastry. You’ll be making pies like crazy!

Tom Ford’s invitations included a bottle of fragrance titled “F**king Fabulous,” as if you could ever forget, and his ultra-glam parade of draped gowns, little sequined somethings, and toppers of every possible persuasion proved his prowess. Those who recall the glory of his Gucci days may have experienced a sense of déjà vu when taking in those sublimely cut jackets. Just when you thought you’d never find another one that good…! Let’s hope that media salaries improve, though— as always, Ford’s confections are not for the weak of wallet.

For Elle Macpherson, it’s not just about living a beautiful life, it’s about living a healthy one, too. After dominating the modeling world, the Aussie is tapping into the health and wellness space with her company WelleCo and its star product, The Super Elixir, an alkalizing formula of super greens. We’ll have what she’s having! BY SYDNEY SADICK PHOTOGRAPHY BY billIe scheepers

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

a ll o thers c o urtes y

N H

How did you come up with the idea for WelleCo? It happened organically! My partner and co-founder, Andrea Horwood Bux, and I recognized this movement that beauty comes from the inside out, which is so compelling to the future of beauty. About two years ago, WelleCo was one of the first companies to bring a natural ingestible alkaline formula into Selfridges. We saw that people were feeling transformed and were sharing their experiences on social media. The combination of our pure and unique product [The Super Elixir] with our manufacturing standards and the efficiency of these all-natural plant-based nutrients has really driven our growth. What effects have you seen from the product? I recently did a day of alkaline and I was really specific about the food I ate. It wasn’t a cleanse but a focus. I noticed things like the brown spots on my face from the sun had lessened because there wasn’t acidity in my body. I also learned to replace some of the food I ate with vegetables and fruits so my body could return to an alkaline state, which means your digestive system works better and your liver gets rest and recuperates. Our formula is very potent and highly absorbable. I drink mine in the morning with filtered water. What does your diet look like today? I eat plant-based and raw foods as much as I can. I also eat organic. I’ve noticed a big difference in the way I look and feel. When I was younger, I didn’t pay as much attention to my diet or the nutrients

I put into my body—I just wanted a quick-fix from the outside. I didn’t believe that working from the inside out worked, but my experiences have taught me that if I can balance myself on the inside, it definitely shows on the outside. Do you cook? I prepare food, because a lot of my food is raw. I have a dehydrator and I’ll use things like flax seeds to make dough for bread or granola. I make yogurt from young coconuts and lemon juice, as well as hummus and tahini. I know how to prepare the foods I love to eat, which are hard to find when I’m out. What’s your indulgence? My indulgence is having the time to prepare the food I love to eat. I don’t look at it as a treat to eat a bunch of sugar, because I don’t feel great afterward. When I go to a restaurant and they have wonderful organic food on their menu that’s prepared with care, that’s a splurge. Not many restaurants are that conscious. What’s your workout routine like these days? Being active is important from a wellness point of view, not [only] for looks. When I was younger, my routine was about burning calories and lifting weights in a particular period of time to sculpt my body. As I’ve matured, I’ve realized I need to listen to my body. I believe it’s important to be active outdoors in fresh air for an hour a day, if you can. I’ll get up at 6 a.m., jump on the bike, and ride to the beach to have a swim. I’ll do about an hour of deep-breathing exercises and meditation. If I’m on the road, I’ll bring my running shoes and jog around just to check out where I am. What were castings like when you started out? Castings were simple: Get naked, get dressed, and walk like you know what you’re doing. I was self-conscious, so castings were really hard! What was the first show you ever walked? I think it might have been Perry Ellis. I remember being so proud of being chosen to walk. Azzedine Alaïa was definitely the one that stands out because we were paid to wear incredible clothing and all the girls loved it. I was so nervous walking in those heels! What are some of your wildest Fashion Week memories? We all worked so hard going from show to show. The shows themselves and being with the girls was fun. This was the first time studio models and cover girls migrated to the runaway, making the shows more relevant. In the ’80s and ’90s, the models were iconic, as were the designers. From Versace to Valentino, the shows were spectacular—Jean-Paul Gaultier, Claude Montana, Stephen Sprouse, Calvin Klein, and Donna Karan…brilliant designers and superstar models. What are your thoughts on the new generation of models? The fashion industry has changed so much since the ’80s and the ’90s, when there was an iconic status to the girls in fashion who were well-known by their names and their faces. They were versatile because they would do runway, TV commercials, bathing suits, fashion, and more. That was the beginning of the diversification, which we’re seeing so much of today. Before the ’80s, you were either a commercial model, a swimsuit model, or whatnot—you never really did it all—but in the ’80s and ’90s, we had girls who were great at making a name for themselves in everything. To some extent, we see a lot of girls bridging that gap today. Both Gigi and Bella Hadid are doing that: They’re doing runway, beauty, fashion, and have a huge following. It’s an interesting time. Social media has undoubtedly had a major impact on the evolution of the industry. Social media has made fashion and beauty more

accessible. When I was working, the more distanced you were from the public, the more iconic and successful you were. Today, the closer you are to the public, the more attainable your beauty is, and the more approachable you are, the more successful you are. You’ve lived in Miami for more than two years. Have you thought about living anywhere else? Before moving here, I lived in London for 17 years. Before that, I lived in New York for 14 years, and before that, I was in L.A. for three years. I was also in and out of Paris for about seven years. I’ve loved every place I’ve lived, just for different reasons. How has your style evolved over the years? I pay attention to quality and personal style—always evolving yet not following trends. I believe personal style comes from who you are, not what you wear. I feel less is more, and I don’t invest much in high street brands. I prefer quality pieces that I love and keep for a long time and wear until they fall apart, or I can’t bear to see them anymore—which is rare because I just give them a rest for a while. You have two teenage sons. Do you think they’ll get into modeling? They’re focusing on their education, which I think is very important. One of my sons is studying business and entrepreneurship in Boston, and my youngest is just going into high school. I support my children in their individual dreams, whatever they are. My oldest has a pilot’s license and is well-rounded and motivated. I like to guide him the best I can and as much as I can. He talks to me a lot about the decisions he makes. Do you ever attend shows for fun? I prefer to watch shows than to walk them, although closing Marc Jacobs’ show a few years ago was a beautiful honor and surprise for me. Do you have any plans for this NYFW season? I’ll be working with my team on building a strong presence for WelleCo in America, and I’ll be designing lingerie and planning brand building for Elle Macpherson Body—two businesses that excite and inspire me daily. ß

had. I wouldn’t ever say that I have a favorite! Belated congrats on your wedding! Have you become more of a tech whiz since you met Evan [Spiegel]? He is an absolute genius when it comes to tech, and I’m definitely learning more. [Snapchat] recently released Snap Maps. You can add friends and you can see what events are going on around you. For instance, now there’s a Mets vs. Dodgers game, and if I click, there’s a Let’s Go Dodgers lens. Or I can see what’s going on at Universal Studios, Hollywood, or Yosemite National Park—wow, someone is boiling some eggs. [Laughs] You can look all around the world. What’s going on in Adelaide, Australia? Oh, someone is at a bar! [Laughs] Do you have a fave Snapchat lens? They’re always updating them, and it’s one of my favorite things to do with my son. We’ll do the different faces, the bunny ears, or become peaches. I love things like that—it’s about not taking yourself too seriously. Any plans to get back to Australia soon? I think so! My family was just here. We see each other often, it’s just a matter of where. I’m looking forward to chilling and spending time at home. I’m an Aries with a Cancer moon—I’m a homebody. People are always like, “Where’s your favorite place?” And I’m like, “home.” For someone who has traveled so much, it’s such a luxury. I’m lapping that up. ß

When did you know you wanted to start your own beauty brand? About 10 years ago, I was looking for products that were certified organic and natural but worked. I wasn’t able to find anything. There are organic brands, but they’re not certified—meaning people can claim their product is organic or natural if it [contains] one natural or organic ingredient. That’s when I thought, “Why don’t I create my own range?” Which ingredients make KORA different? Noni, a fruit that’s native to the South Pacific. It’s an antioxidant and contains more than 170 vitamins and minerals. I’ve been drinking it since I was 13, and if I had a breakout or a sunburn, I’d put the juice on my skin. Rose-hip oil is rich in vitamin C and fatty acids, and it helps with sun damage or scarring. Sandalwood, a natural antiseptic and one of my favorite scents, is in a lot of our body products. All the products are infused through rose quartz, so the crystals add that vibration of love into the products and then onto the person who uses them. It’s that little bit of added magic. How sciencey did you get when creating them? I worked for two years on the formulations before going into production with teams that specialize in microbiology, organic chemistry, and aromatherapy. These are the ingredients that I really believe in, and we went back and forth for a couple of years. The products are tested on me, not on animals.

Were you wary to play guinea pig? I was totally into it! It was about testing the consistency and making sure that the products were getting results. We also did consumer studies, and for the Noni Glow Face Oil, 93 percent of people said that their skin appeared more even-toned after two weeks. So many people have this idea that because it’s organic, it’s not as powerful. Do you personally use only organic products? Not everything I use is organic. It’s 80 percent healthy and organic and 20 percent indulgent. Is there anything you miss about being a Victoria’s Secret Angel? I have many wonderful memories and I had so much fun, but I’m so happy where I am. When I was an Angel, there was so much traveling. It was fun at the time, but once I had [my son] Flynn, I wanted to be there for him. Having a base is really grounding. Speaking of angels, what’s the most devilish thing about you? My sense of humor. People will be like, “What? Where did that come from?” Which models do you hang out with? I’m friends with all the girls whom I worked with, and we’ll let each other know when we’re in town, but we’re all so busy, so we don’t hang out all the time. I have friends who are models, but it’s not really about that. To be honest, I have my best friends in Australia whom I grew up with since I was 6. One of my best friends is Lily Aldridge. I think we would have been best friends regardless of modeling. What’s the best piece of advice you ever received about modeling? Steven Meisel taught me that you need to know your light. Once you know what light works on your face, and what light doesn’t, you’ll be able to get the best pictures. Everyone can get really beautiful pictures if they’re aware of that. Do you have an all-time favorite image of yourself? I’ve never really thought about that! A photo will remind me of things—the day of the shoot, how much fun I was having going to the park with Flynn that day. Photos are cool like that. They can transport you to that time for a moment and the feelings you

A Pamella Roland gown has promised supreme fit and a certain luxe factor since the brand’s inception 15 years ago. The secret to success? Founder Pamella DeVos’s no-nonsense approach to business and her global quests for creative fuel, which take her from Monte Carlo to New York City. BY KRISTEN HEINZINGER PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIAM JESS LAIRD

Welcome back to New York! What’s new? We’re preparing for the show, and a few days later my daughter gets married [in Michigan]. Are you designing her gown? Gowns! And the bridesmaids’ gowns and my own dress. When I got married, I had the puffy-sleeved wedding dress. It was the ’80s! [Laughs] What’s the story behind your latest Fall collection? My inspirations are usually travel and art. This year, it’s inspired by a trip my family and I took to Monte Carlo and the Grand Prix. It was spring, and there FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

were flowers everywhere. I was driving my husband nuts with all the pictures I was taking! What else was on the calendar this summer? I’m the vice president of the board for the Whitney Museum, so the gala is my No. 1 thing during the summer. I also received an award from the Joyce Theater and the Joffrey Ballet. And I just saw Lady Gaga at Wrigley Field in Chicago, which was great! What’s your fave song? “Poker Face.” It’s a classic. Your kids usually join you for your runway

bow. Have they taken an interest in fashion? Sydney, my younger daughter, has taken the most interest. My son, Cole, plays hockey, and that’s all he cares about. [Laughs] My oldest daughter, Cassandra, is a lawyer, but we’re looking into working on a home collection together. You launched your label later in life—when did your interest in fashion begin? I didn’t create the brand until after I had children and moved to Japan [for my husband’s business]. I’d always had an interest in fashion and the arts. When I was a young girl, my mother would buy me supplies, like oils. My father had a fit when he thought I was going to an art school! He told me I’d never make money. So I studied business at Michigan State University, and I’m happy I did. Some people who don’t have that training don’t understand that it’s important to keep your doors open. I think that’s why I’ve been around for 15 years. Does the brand today resemble what you set out for it to be? Not at all. I never thought 15 years down the road I’d be doing this. Neiman Marcus bought our first line and it just took off. It began with sportswear and day dresses and a couple of gowns. Women were telling us it was hard to find gowns that fit well. We really worked on that, and found that we were selling. So we slowly got out of sportswear, and today, we create more cocktail dresses and gowns. When was the first time you saw one of your gowns on a red carpet? I won the Gold Coast Award, and I was in my hotel room in Chicago waiting to go onstage. The Emmys were on, and it was the last year of Sex and the City and Kim Cattrall was up for an award. She was on the red carpet in one of our gowns, and we were just screaming! Megan Mullally from Will & Grace also wore one of our pieces, and she won that year. A few people actually call me Karen—I can be goofy. [Laughs] Who’s buying the line? It’s always kind of been the same customer. We dress the daughters, the mothers, the grandmothers—all ages. Recently, more stores overseas have picked us up. That customer is different, so we’re showing more beading and opulence than before. It’s not just clean lines anymore—people are having fun with fashion. You’re based in Michigan, but have you ever considered moving to NYC? All the kids are out of the house, and my husband and I travel all the time and we live part-time in Chicago.

If I moved here, it wouldn’t be with my husband because his work is in the Midwest. It would be just me and the dogs, Manolo and Hemingway. [Laughs] You travel often—is there a traditional trip? We go to Capri quite a bit. The next trip is to Papua New Guinea in the spring. I don’t know how we ended up going there [Laughs], but I’ve heard it’s amazing. We check out new places quite a bit. My family is adventurous. Anything they can jump off, they’ll jump off. They actually made me bungee jump off a bridge. I had tears coming down my face and I was scared to death, but I did it. Wow! So how are you celebrating your brand’s 15th anniversary? We always celebrate! It usually involves vodka. We have fun here. Over a dozen shows later, what have you learned? People have always told me I’m pretty calm during the show. But what else can you do? We have a no diva policy. My famous line is, Have you ever raised teenage daughters? Compared to that, this is nothing. ß

the logo, and the packaging [for Sugarpova], trying to make it fun, all of which you can’t find in a sport. Is it true you tried changing your surname to Sugarpova? I thought about it. [Laughs] It was a fun idea until I realized how challenging it would have been. How involved are you in the operations? Every day I respond to e-mails about everything from distribution to manufacturing to new product launches to the creative. We launched chocolate last year and we’re looking into more categories, like chocolate-covered gummies. We look for places that make the best-quality chocolate with natural ingredients and creative ideas. You attended Harvard Business School—discuss! It was about getting out of my bubble. We’re always around similar people, be it friends or family, so I wanted to put myself in an environment that was new, challenging, and different,

and open up my mind. I left there with a lot more knowledge. Did your classmates know who you were? Yeah, they did. [Laughs] But I think everyone had similar goals. I was the youngest one in my classes. It made it more challenging, but also more interesting. Everyone was in different fields—food, cars, etc. It was a wide range of people, and it was different from playing my sport, which is a very individual one. What’s the scoop on your new book? My memoir, Unstoppable, is finally coming out during Fashion Week! I’ve been working on it for more than two years. The story starts when I moved to the U.S. when I was 7, and how I was under my father’s wing for most of the time with my own big dream. What did you miss most during your hiatus from tennis? The competition. That’s really tough to replace, especially on a professional athlete’s level. I just turned 30, and as a tennis player, you think it’s the end. But I think I gained a whole new level of appreciation for what my body can do at this age. ß

Congrats on an amazing return to the Open. How did it feel to be back? It is always special being a part of the US Open. There is nothing like the New York crowd excitement during a night match under the lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium. I loved being back in a Grand Slam atmosphere. From the preparation and the practices, to the matches in front of thousands of people, it felt really great. How did this year’s strategy differ from your other competitions? Overall, I really embraced the excitement I came into the tournament with. The Gram Slam experience is incomparable to any other event, and I certainly missed that feeling. What moment during this year’s Open will you remember most? My first round on the Monday of the first day of the tournament was really special. I faced a tough opponent and came through in three long sets. I thought we both performed extremely well, and the quality of tennis was well beyond a first-round match. The atmosphere that evening was one of the best I have experienced in my career of playing in New York. I loved every minute of it. Moving on to candy! How did you end up as a sugar magnate? I’ve always wanted to create my own business while I’m playing. I’ve been a part of big corporations and brands, whether giving design input or creating my own collection, but in the end, I knew I wanted something to be my own. I wanted to learn how to make business decisions, and it certainly was both a learning and growing curve for me. Where did you catch the entrepreneurial bug? I think sports and business align in the sense that they’re both competitive. With sports, you know what you’re going to get—it’s pretty regimented. You prepare the best you can but don’t know how things will turn out. I love the creative side [of business] and have enjoyed creating the name,

THE NEXT BIG TESTINO Marina Testino is a recent Parsons grad, an aspiring designer, a proven influencer, and yes, the niece of a certain guy named Mario. Surely you’ve met? BY SYDNEY SADICK PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIAM JESS LAIRD What did you study at Parsons? Fashion marketing. My dad keeps asking me why I started my own brand [Point Off View], given my marketing major, but I learned so much about all parts of the industry—how to design, how to produce. Where did you grow up? I was born in New York, but we moved around a lot after the Twin Towers fell when I was 7, and we had to evacuate our home. We first moved to the Hamptons, FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

then to a small town, and then to Barcelona, where my parents owned a summer house. At the time, I thought my parents were horrible people for moving me and making me make new friends, but that experience really enriched me. I have friends all over the world and speak four languages: Catalan, French, English, and Spanish. Now, I’m super grateful. You recently signed with The Society… I’m part of the agency’s Creative roster, so I’m not a model and I don’t want to be called that. Are you close with your uncle? Very. I live just three blocks away from his apartment in NYC. When we’re in the same city, we’ll get together for lunch or dinner. On my dad’s side of the family, we all go to Peru for Christmas, which is always nice to spend time together. When did you realize that your uncle was the Mario Testino? Very, very late. [Laughs] I lived in Barcelona until I was

17—at that time, Mario was big in London, Paris, and New York, but Barcelona isn’t really a fashion-centric city. Here and there, Vogue would come out and I’d hear he did something, but I wouldn’t really see it. I really noticed everything he was doing when I moved to Paris to study during my senior year of high school. Every time I’d say my name people would ask, “Are you related [to Mario]?” Your dad, Giovanni Testino, is also in the biz. Yes, he founded Art Partner, the agency that represents photographers and makeup artists like Mert & Marcus and Charlotte Tilbury. My dad didn’t want me to be that exposed to it all when I was growing up—he wouldn’t let me go to shows or parties until I was 18. Has Mario ever photographed you? Yeah, but not professionally in the studio. I was in a launch video for Bodega MATE, a shop next to his museum in Peru. Have you interned for him? Yes, it was really fun! I worked with production, marketing, social media, editing, and more. It allowed me to discover which parts of the industry I was interested in. I really liked digital marketing and social media, which makes sense! What’s the best piece of advice your uncle has given you? The most important thing you have is your family, because they are the ones who will always be there for you, no matter what. What was the genesis for Point Off View? My whole family is super creative, whether they’re in fashion, jewelry, or art. Every time I visit them in Peru, my aunt takes me to buy fabrics, and then I’ll use them to design my own clothes. Whenever I come back from my trip, I’ll be wearing these [new] dresses, and my friends will be like, “Where did you get that?” So I created Point Off View, where I merge fashion and art with capsule collections made in collaboration with different artists. I work with them to create three to five key pieces. Each collection has a different point of view, and each piece is limitededition. When does the first collection launch? October. I can’t talk about the artists I’ll be working with yet, but I already have two in mind for the next collection. It will be sold online, and I’m working on having a pop-up in October. I’m also working on getting it into some boutiques. Did you ever contemplate getting a 9-to-5? I’ve tried. [Laughs] I can’t be at a desk—I need to do something that changes every day. I wouldn’t be able to just sit that long and type on a computer! ß

THE DAILY and LIFEWTR toasted the end of summer over the weekend with a delicious beachside feast—thanks to Hampton Clambake— in Sagaponack, New York. The evening featured a first-look at LIFEWTR’s Series 3 collection showcasing bottle artwork created by emerging fashion designers Adam Dalton Blake, Tiffany Huang, and Ghazaleh Khalifeh. The evening brought out VIPs like Kourtney Kardashian and her new beau, Younes Bendjima; and Simon Huck, who just returned from a 10-day trip to Egypt with his boyfriend Philip Riportella. “The pyramids are incredible,” said Huck, “but the biggest surprise for me was how friendly everyone was. We had incredible hosts who grew up in Cairo and now live in London. They took such good care of us.”

A night in brazil!

Brazil took over the Hamptons when THE DAILY SUMMER and designer PATRICIA BONALDI celebrated the U.S. launch of her uber-chic brand, PATBO, and patbo.com. The intimate dinner was hosted in the luxe garden of THE DAILY’s executive editor Ashley Baker’s East Hampton home, and it was a night filled with Brazilian cuisine, dancing, cocktails, and photo ops. Many guests donned pieces from Bonaldi’s latest range of clothes, a medley of punchy, colorful prints on dresses, skirts, bomber jackets, and other swoon-worthy silhouettes. Chef Scott Santangelo created a delicious spread, including pão de queijo sliders with mortadella and arugula; lettuce wraps with shiitake mushrooms; moqueca baiana; and farofa with banana, bacon, and onion. On the menu for dessert? Brigadeiros with chocolate shavings. PHOTOGRAPHY BY hannah turner-harts

How are you getting ready for New York Fashion Week? When’s that again? I’ll likely be rehearsing. Do you dance professionally? I’m on tour with The Lion King! You don’t say. Who do you play? Right now I’m playing the giraffe, but I’ve also played a shrub. Will we be seeing you in Milan and Paris? I was just in Paris for a dance festival for four weeks. It’s a little boring compared to New York. What models do you get excited to see walk? Gigi? Kendall? Gigi Hadad is my favorite. It’s Hadid! How are you getting to Ralph’s show in Bedford? I’m very out of touch. I wish I could be more helpful!

Issy 19, student Has anyone ever told you that you look like Mila Kunis? All the time. Can you confirm that you are not Mila Kunis? I’m not! Just checking! What’s the most memorable fashion show you’ve ever attended? I was actually in one when I was in primary school. I had to wear this T-shirt with a cat on it. I unfortunately didn’t land a modeling contract. What’s your driver’s name? Dad. What products do you use to stay looking so youthful? Vaseline. How do you feel about Proenza and Altuzarra going to Paris? I’m excited! Why not spread it around?

What were you up to this summer? I was a lifeguard in the Hamptons. Cool. Did you save any lives? I was off the day that someone almost drowned. I missed the action! How many influencers do you know? Like Nelson Mandela? That kind of thing? Anybody else? Gandhi. Do influencers affect the way you buy clothes? Gandhi dressed pretty funky. I liked his style.

pim 20, hails from The Netherlands What brings you here? NYFW? I’ve been in the states for two months now. I’ve been working at a water park in Ohio. This is my vacation. Where did you holiday this summer? Tuscany? Mykonos? Capri? Cincinnati. How’s the fashion there? Baggy like everything in America. Oh! Let me guess—you had a great summer? How did you know that? You look like a movie star. Would you ever model? Maybe. Everyone at the water park thought I was a model.

daily discovery!

Jess 20, visiting from Manchester, England We understand you are skipping Milan this season. What’s up? Money issues. I can’t afford to fly to Italy right now. Who does your hair color? Just someone named Devon from my village. It’s 30 pounds. A bargain! Where do you stay in Paris? At some random girl’s house. I was an exchange student! How was room service? The weird brother would sort of peep in my room, so I’d give it a two out of five. But it was free of charge!
