It's like basically it's making a bracelet, putting a bracelet on somebody that they can't take off. So imagine having just a strong soldered jump ring instead of a clasp. Lana: Oh, okay, yes. I know about this. I've seen it. Ivory: My brain just doesn't, I'm like why? Like, why would I want that? Someone sell it to me. I have no idea why I would want a piece of jewelry that I never take off. Unless it's like a braided friendship bracelet when I was in middle school. Lana: The only reason that I know about this is because I met a guy and I said, I like your bracelet. And he said, oh, thanks, I. Got this with my girlfriend. We did it as a commitment to each other. We're both wearing the same bracelet. Okay. And it doesn't come off. And I thought, okay that's cool. And it's pretty thin. If you were really losing your s**t, you could just rip it off. But, and in that sense, as a commitment to a partner or a friend? A friend, just like you said, a friendship bracelet. A friendship bracelet. I think that I'd be into it. In that sense, yeah. But I always get really bothered having stuff on me at some point. I've been wearing this ring for a few weeks, but eventually I'm going to have to take it off because I feel trapped. Yeah. I feel... I think I just have too much connection with handcuffs not a kinky thing but handcuffs as my daddy issues and he's a four time convicted felon and I don't want any connection to the idea of metal or or anything restrictive anything on the body yeah keeping you contained even if it's on one wrist yeah I don't know if that, if anyone would make that connection or if I'm just damaged. Ivory: Even as a jewelry designer, I don't wear, I take my jewelry off, almost as soon as I get home because I just like to be free. Yeah, exactly. But I love to wear it as armor when I go out. Oh it's like protection. I haven't really ever thought of it that way. So I want to go deeper into that. Lana: Do you want to be Ivory? Ivory: My government name is Brittany, and my artist, alias alchemist priestess name is Ivory. And my jewelry brand is Ostara. Lana: That might go on the thing. So you have this rubbing. Oh, it's like ASMR? Yeah, so if you move or if you set anything down. That could be ASMR. Okay, I met you as Brittany Grace. And when you say government name obviously nobody wants a government name. So I like how you stated that. And Ivory is definitely your name then. Great. Because we don't want a government name. Even though I love my name. I love my name. And I asked my mom the other day, for the third time, probably the fourth time, even though I knew I asked her again. And I said I want an explanation of where my name came from, and she said it was a hot girl that your dad and I went to school with, and we really were attracted to her, so we named you Lana, and it's Mom, thanks, and also, really? Ivory: Could you have gone deeper. Really? Really? Yeah. Anyway, so that's my name and I love it. I'm a hot girl. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. I'm obvious. I'm embodying some hot girl from the 80s, whatever. We I'm getting going on tangents because I didn't sleep much. A homeless man woke me up because we're in New York and the homeless man was in the bedroom. No, I'm just kidding. He wasn't, but his voice was. So we're actually in a really quiet in terms of New York, we're actually in a really quiet place. Yeah. Relatively speaking. Normal noise. Average noise in New York. And it is a lovely Thursday morning. Much earlier than I would like to be awake, but here we are. And we have been having a very interesting adventure here in New York. We've been leading some classes, workshops. We had this very fun event at Secret Soho, which will no longer exist once this podcast is released, because it is a seasonal venue, popped up by the founders of Daybreaker and a few others, Epic Space. We had a great time leading this workshop, the Sacred Twerk and Tantric lap dance. Oh yes, it was a good combo. Oh, so good. And we are also working with the Rosewood Theatre and the owner of the Rosewood Theatre, Kalin, who's an epic human. Ivory: Epic human. Just very impressive man. If we could just model the rest of them after him. Here is the epitome of man. Lana: It's so nice to be connected to humans like that, men and women, but especially men, because sometimes as women, we get a little sad and confused wondering where these upstanding gentlemen are. Ivory: Where are they? But then when you see one, then you see one and you're just like, wow, an example. There is evidence. So there's gotta be more. There has to be more. They do exist. It's so exciting when you see one that exists in real life and not just in figment of your imagination. So much hope. It does. It leaves us feeling more hopeful for sure.So this may make us sound Alright, I'm just gonna be blunt. I'm gonna be just raw and real because here we are. Cuz, you know what? We can only censor ourselves so much, to be honest. If you don't like it, tune out. I'm not gonna censor myself. Let's just not. Lana: We were swiping on Tinder because it's fun. It's fun. Entertaining. And we're alone. No one's being hurt. And we're laughing. We're laughing hard. So why not do it? Anything that inspires laughter, as long as no one's getting hurt, I think is always the wise choice in life. Ivory: And I think just as a general rule of thumb, you just don't take that app seriously. Anyway, like, why would you? At one point, perhaps Tinder was in it's prime at the beginning of it, before... Had to have been a long time ago at this point. A long time ago. But currently, Tinder is... No one takes Tinder seriously. Ivory: Nobody takes Tinder seriously. Lana: It seems like a few men - I haven't I really need to close my Tinder. I feel like a bad person, because men Tinder, and I won't match with them, but they'll find me on social media or somewhere and say, I saw you on Tinder. And I really like to respond, but I've given up on it. We didn't match, so no offense, but I, please don't What are you doing here? Don't reach out if we didn't match. It's a dead end road, but I love your enthusiasm. It's great. But I have a Tinder. I have a Tinder account active right now. And I do get a lot of messages and that is a little bit frustrating. Actually, it's a good conversation. I'd love to discuss this with men as well. Just what is it that makes you want to reach out even though we didn't match? Isn't that setting yourself up for, yeah. Ivory: What is it that makes you want to cat call on the streets? When does that ever work? Has it ever worked? Lana: That is really interesting. That's a great conversation. Has it ever worked? Ivory: Has it ever worked? And then also in the same vein, what is it that makes you want to send an unsolicited dick pic? I did not ask you for that. Why are you sending it to me? Lana: Yeah, I guess they get off on it. So that could be one possible answer for that question. Yeah totally, clearly. But the cat call is very interesting to me. Ivory: It's a similar thing. It's like a digital catcall is what they're doing. Digital catcall. Lana: Yeah A whole other level though, because it's literally your dick. But, yeah, that's always been perplexing to me, but I respond very well, actually. I'm, I remember one circumstance in, It was in Costa Rica. Obviously, it's Costa Rica. This is an important thing to note because in a lot of latin countries, you're getting a lot of those catcalls. That's very... On the street, that's common right anywhere in South America and Mexico yeah, there's an increased… Ivory: Also, like I lived in Harlem for five years. It was very common there. There we go Lana: So there are certain cultures and environments where you're going to get more cat calls. I was in Costa Rica with two girlfriends, one of them grew up in LA, the other one grew up in London and we were all wearing skimpy bikinis, we were going to the beach, we're in Costa Rica, it's hot as f**k, you're barely ever wearing clothes there. And there were a large group of men, Ticos, Costa Rican men, who were catcalling and we were rather close to them. I have flashed a smile and gave them like a little acknowledgement and I was like why not my girlfriends are like, Oh, I hate this. It's so annoying. And they were just perplexed that I had condoned their behavior basically, but I'm It's like feeding a seagull. Don't you dare drop a crumb or there's going to be a swarm of them. Wow. That was maybe one of the top analogies I've ever heard in my life, hands down. Oh my god. Wow. There's that aspect of it. There's feeding the seagulls. And then there's also Thank you. Thank you for acknowledging that we are attractive women and that you're excited about us. Like, why wouldn't I acknowledge that? Yeah, I know. Thank you for being excited. Totally. I was basically saying, thank you for being excited about us. Ivory: Because who doesn't love a compliment? Can we all just be honest? I love compliments. Some people really don't li
