After the craziness of the POPFLEX pop-up, Sam and I checked into The White Lotus – no, LITERALLY. We became the actual hotel guests of a world that only ever existed on on our screens every Sunday night. Guys, when I tell you the marketing MARKETING’D and the budget does not exist.
The moment we pulled up to the hotel and saw The White Lotus Hotel sign and then Gaitok LITERAL ACTUAL GAITOK (aka Tayme) casually walk by as I grabbed a fresh coconut complete with an orchid – I was floating in a dream.
Getting to watch the season finale live with other fans of the show, the team at HBO, and the actual cast heightened my emotions so much that I was laughing, screaming, and crying – EMPHASIS ON CRYING 😭 – all night long. I’m still processing what just happened.
Oh, and guys. I specifically dressed Sam in a Saxon outfit complete with 90s inspired sunglasses and sunglass chums (did you know that neck thing is called a chum??) because why not do a subtle cosplay for funzies? East coast finance bro douchery was the vibe and I was digging it TBH.
AND THEN GUESS WHAT. Saxon himself (aka Patrick Schwarzenegger) noticed Sam’s outfit and wanted to take a pic with him!?!?!? I about died. My proudest work by far.
Thank you Gold House and Max for letting us play White Lotus for the weekend. This was truly THE event of all events. I can’t wait for season 4.
