So lovely to have you guys 00:00:40.179 --> 00:00:42.320 here.

Yes, well 00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:49.899 , my sister and I, we've always loved gaming 00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:52.770 since we were younger together. And I mean, 00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:55.750 when this opportunity with LG led came about were like 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.909 , Oh, my gosh, how much fun we 00:00:57.909 --> 00:01:00.030 get to do it in front of an audience instead 00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.869 of it just being us. So we're just so 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.090 grateful for this opportunity and I'm going to have so 00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:07.349 much fun. Absolutely. And it goes to a 00:01:07.349 --> 00:01:10.230 really good cause here. I mean, this this 00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:11.969 is being partnered with black girls code, which we 00:01:11.969 --> 00:01:15.010 know that is an amazing organization. Khloe. How 00:01:15.010 --> 00:01:19.370 important is it to have young girls see themselves, 00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:23.060 Especially in the coding industry here? Yes. It's 00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:26.560 so important for proper representation and for girls, young 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.069 black girls, all girls around the world to not 00:01:29.069 --> 00:01:30.810 feel alone and to not feel ashamed for using their 00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:33.900 mind and being smart and intelligent. Because we have 00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:36.349 beauty and we have brains. And I'm just so 00:01:36.349 --> 00:01:38.370 happy that sits and I get to have a friendly 00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.769 competition with the gaming and also support an incredible cause 00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:42.329 . Hey, man. Halle. So what's your 00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:44.939 strategy? What are you gonna do to win this 00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:48.459 thing? Well, my sister is very smart. 00:01:48.469 --> 00:01:52.299 She is. So he does. So I think 00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:55.370 my strategy is to just practice, practice, practice 00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:57.670 , and then pray on the day and see what 00:01:57.670 --> 00:02:00.299 happens. Wait, hold on. So, rethinking 00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:00.939 Chloe is going to win this thing. Chloe, 00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:04.799 are you feeling that confident? Here No. I 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.030 am feeling not that confident about it because you never 00:02:08.030 --> 00:02:10.669 know what can happen. So I'm just like you 00:02:10.669 --> 00:02:13.289 know what? I'm gonna go and having fun. 00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.719 It's gonna be cute, and we'll just see what 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.780 happens. I love it. You guys are so 00:02:17.789 --> 00:02:20.639 busy, by the way, which is insane. 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.789 How much in the projects that you guys are working 00:02:22.789 --> 00:02:24.219 on, Hallie? You, You just you. 00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:25.629 Actually, you both did this. But Halle, 00:02:25.629 --> 00:02:29.949 you guys released a limited edition at Victoria's Secret Pink 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:30.770 . I'm curious. How involved were you in the 00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:35.439 design process on something like this? Yes. My 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.419 sister and I were very involved in the design process 00:02:38.419 --> 00:02:40.159 with our collection for pink. It was so fun 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.710 to do because, you know, we're constantly on 00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:46.740 the go, whether it be in rehearsals, filming 00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:51.159 or in the studio. And we need comfortable clothes 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.460 , but clothes that will make us cute and put 00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:55.330 together at the same time. So we were very 00:02:55.330 --> 00:02:59.680 hands on very involved with the whole collection, and 00:02:59.689 --> 00:03:01.120 we're very excited with how it turned out. Chloe 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.889 , is there an item in particular? That's your 00:03:02.889 --> 00:03:06.810 favorite? That's in the collection. I think my 00:03:06.810 --> 00:03:09.030 favorite would have to be the coat and also the 00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:13.409 leggings because it lifts the booty. Um, you 00:03:13.409 --> 00:03:15.349 know, sister and I we just wanted something that 00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:20.110 we could wear the studio rehearsals, and even at 00:03:20.110 --> 00:03:21.789 the opening of the event, we just put on 00:03:21.789 --> 00:03:23.289 heels and joy with, and it looks like a 00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:25.860 cute night out outfit, so I think everything honestly 00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:28.280 . Oh, my God. This is it right 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.460 here. This is the first time I've seen this 00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:30.449 . This is awesome. I'm totally into this. 00:03:30.449 --> 00:03:32.340 And I love that you guys paired it with heels 00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:35.919 in this. Um, Hallie, Hallie, I 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.159 got to ask about the Little Mermaid as a Disney 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.139 fanatic. I am so excited for you to be 00:03:40.139 --> 00:03:43.659 in the Little Mermaid. You filmed this during the 00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:46.270 pandemic. What was that even like to film this 00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:49.740 character in the pandemic? Oh, my goodness. 00:03:49.750 --> 00:03:52.650 It was definitely a dream. It was a surreal 00:03:52.650 --> 00:03:54.830 experience. I mean, um, I think it 00:03:54.830 --> 00:03:58.039 went hand in hand with what Ariel had to go 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.280 through because she had to feel like she was trapped 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.919 and like she was wanting to get out. And 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.419 I mean, the pandemic has made us felt all 00:04:04.419 --> 00:04:08.449 like that so, um, it was it was 00:04:08.449 --> 00:04:11.680 definitely a beautiful experience I'll never forget. Um, 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.560 And Chloe, honey, you're crushing it too, 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.550 By the way, I mean, your music is 00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:17.889 really doing amazing your solo record. Mercy was released 00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:20.040 over the summer, and that is number one right 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.550 now on Billboard's mainstream R and B hip hop airplay 00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:26.389 chart right now. So congratulations on that.

I did not know. And I 00:04:32.649 --> 00:04:34.680 can't wait for people to hear more songs because of 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.850 mercy was just the tip of the iceberg. I'm 00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:39.839 just so proud of my sister and I because, 00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:42.350 you know, you don't really realize what we're doing 00:04:42.350 --> 00:04:44.410 until people will tell it back to us, and 00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:46.980 we're both killing it simultaneously. And I'm just so 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:48.180 proud of us, and it's gonna be really fun 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:50.819 doing this thing. Are you guys really competitive with 00:04:50.819 --> 00:04:54.829 each other or you basically, like, supportive of 00:04:54.829 --> 00:04:56.920 each other in each thing that you guys are doing 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.560 here? Because if my sister and I were like 00:04:59.569 --> 00:05:00.310 the same as you guys, my sister and I'd 00:05:00.310 --> 00:05:02.199 be like, How is this one more famous than 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.720 I am?

And you know, that little 00:05:14.550 --> 00:05:15.250 sister thing where you're just like, Oh, my 00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:17.980 gosh, She's amazing. I want to be like 00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:20.579 her. That's what I feel. That's literally what 00:05:20.579 --> 00:05:26.370 I feel like. I'm so close, Chloe, 00:05:26.370 --> 00:05:28.639 where do you get your confidence?

That 00:05:32.089 --> 00:05:34.560 you're able to basically shut everybody else out here. 00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:39.339 You know, I'm even shocked that you're saying that 00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:41.350 because there are a lot of days where I feel 00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:43.120 very insecure and a lot of days I feel very 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.699 confident, and I truly believe in faking it till 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:46.500 you make it. When it comes to that, 00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:48.490 like, you just have to constantly remind yourself that 00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:51.000 you are special and that you are worthy. Um 00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:53.930 , and I'm happy that I have my sister with 00:05:53.930 --> 00:05:56.949 me because any time I'm down, she helps uplift 00:05:56.949 --> 00:05:58.319 me, and I hope I do the same for 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.339 her, and I think it's very important to have 00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:02.439 a support system around you so you don't lose yourself 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.019 and think you're not worth anything. Amen. So 00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:11.230 well, said guys. Congratulations on such amazing success 00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:13.720 .
