I wanted to make one for me. Is for the girls that are so proud of where they come from. They are unapologetically themselves, and they love to represent their culture. Have some news. We're finally ready to launch our presale. I'm a little nervous about the numbers. Are we gonna be able to move on to the next step? Are we gonna be stuck? There's so much that goes into a product drop. The sampling our samples are here. Let's go look at them. This is so good. Okay. I'm in tier right now looking at our top sales report. It's looking pretty good. We've exceeded my goal, my expectations for this drop. If zero says it's okay, I think we're ready to move on to the next step. I think we need to take kiss me. I'm Latina on the good, and we're gonna make a kissing booth. Is this crazy? We only have a few weeks to pull this off before it's better the carrot digimon. Two weeks, baby.
