- Hey, how y'all doin'?
Okay, I feel like I was being extra, for real. (laughs)
(instrumental, relaxed hip hop music)
Hi, my name is Peaches Monroee,
and most people know me from
starting the catchphrase "eyebrows on fleek."
I was actually coming from the nail shop with my mom,
and I had just got my eyebrows done for the first time,
and I was like, okay, I'm feeling myself just a little bit.
Eyebrows on fleek, da f***.
Honestly, nothing was in my brain at the time. (laughs)
'Cause that happens to me all the time,
like, I just say stuff.
We in this bitch, finna get crunk.
Like, where did you even come up with that from,
and that's actually like how that happened.
♪ We in this bitch, finna get crunk. ♪
♪ Eyebrows on fleek, on fleek.
♪ Eyebrows, eyebrows, bitch, on fleek ♪
♪ Eyebrows, eyebrows, bitch, finna get crunk.♪
"Fleek" mean it's on point, like it looks good.
Like now, my eyebrows are on fleek. (chuckles)
When I posted it on June 20th, it went viral,
and it just constantly kept going up,
just constantly kept going up.
At the time, my mom was an assistant
to the pastor at the church.
So, when I went viral, it was like,
you know how church people be.
It gets to you know talkin' too much,
and they came to my mom with the video.
"Oh, do you see what your daughter at?"
And my mom like, "Okay, like, okay?
"I mean, it's not like she's doing something horrible.
"I mean, she just said a few cuss words."
And the pastor, he looked at it, he actually laughed.
(pastor laughs) He thought it was hilarious.
And I guess it took a week, probably,
for the celebrities to get ahold of it.
I was on Twitter, and I seen people kept tagging me,
and so, I click on it, and I seen that Christina Milian
and Nicki Minaj was arguing about "pretty on fleek."
People all in the comments section just had my name.
"How can you argue about this?"
And "She's actually creator of fleek."
And "You need to pay her."
And "Why aren't you guys adding her and tagging her?"
And I'm just like, 'cause I don't say anything.
And then, actually, by the time they were done,
nobody was talking about "pretty on fleek." (chuckles)
I saw a few brands use "fleek".
I know Forever21 for sure.
Fleek was was on one of their shirts.
H&M said fleek, had it on their shirt.
I know a few hair companies,
and I feel like if it wasn't for me and that video,
that wouldn't be so popular, at the time,
as it is now, or to just be later on down the line.
So, in 2014, when that video came about,
I feel like I really jumpstart all, everything,
like, especially in the cosmetic world.
When people don't give me credit,
it makes me feel like, you know,
you can search and see.
You can literally type in "fleek," and I pop up,
or Peaches Monroee pops up.
So, it kind of throws me a little curveball,
but I also think of it as free advertisement.
Since I went viral, I started my own business
at a young age.
I wanted to make sure I have the right hair.
I have the right website.
The look, the concept, I wanted to
make sure everything was on fleek.
My grandfather put me in contact with a lawyer,
and we pretty much got some good things coming,
so fleek is going to be official.
(gavel bangs)
- In 2014, I first used the phrase "on fleek."
- My experience on To Tell the Truth
was really good, like, I had fun,
even though on the show, it seemed like
I was being stuck up and firm.
- Number one, have you made up
any other words or phrases?
- No.
- Number one got an attitude!
- But the thing was, I was the one telling the truth,
and I pretty much had to reveal myself at the end.
You'll see, I came out with my personality.
(cheering)
This is pretty much where it started, the Peachmobile.
Eyebrows on fleek.
One, because, fleek-y,
when you feelin' yourself, you know it.
You know when you put on that good dress,
them good pair of pants, them good gym shoes.
Like, you on fleek, you know that within yourself.
Can't nobody tell you--
I mean, they could tell you,
but it ain't gon' be the same once you feel it,
'cause it's like a boost of confidence.
Peaches Monroee, in five years,
she will have a foundation for girls,
a beauty bar in Atlanta with my hair, a cosmetic line.
Hopefully, I'm featured in Sephora.
Have my own little section next to Fenty Beauty. (giggles)
And just in my big house with my four Yorkies. (laughs)
