- I'm like not finding anything over here.
- (beep)
- Ooh, I didn't even look over here.
- (groans)
- Step away from the gray.
- I wish there was just something that just yelled gay.
(upbeat guitar music)
- Hi, I'm Jazzmyne, and I'm the adult.
- Hi, I'm Sydney, I'm the teen.
- And today we're going to be shopping
for pride looks for each other.
So what are your pride experiences?
- I've been going since I was 12.
- Oh my gosh.
- Um, and I've been really involved
in the drag community and LGBT community-
- Okay
- since I was 12.
- My experiences have been incredible.
- Yes.
- It's like the most beautiful community,
especially at that young age-
- Yeah. - To kind of find yourself.
- You've been to more prides than me.
I went to my first pride in Chicago
when I was like 23 maybe?
So I think I've only been to like four.
The pride season is so just magical
when you're walking around.
I'm excited to get a look
that'll be just as excited as I am.
- So I would say that my style is kind of sexy,
outgoing, and resourceful.
I don't think I have a certain style, so like-
- Okay.
- Some days I might want more streetwear-
- Yeah.
- Or like one day I'm like, oh, I want to be a boho-
- Yes.
- hippie chic, whatever.
- Okay.
- So it kind of just changes with my mood.
- The only thing I can say about my style in three words
is like I am bold, or it is me.
Like it's very just me, where some days I can be
really like femme and sexy.
And other days I can be very like street style
and over sized clothes.
There's a lot that can like please me.
If it doesn't make sense to other people, I'm like
(bleep) it.
All right, so we have some rules.
We each have to buy one outfit and two accessories.
- And we both only have 15 minutes each to shop.
- All right, are you ready?
- Yeah, are you?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
(jazzy music)
- Hi, I'm Jen Wilder.
I'm co owner of The Plus Bus here in Glassell Park.
We're a plus size consignment, thrift,
and new and used clothing store.
We have indie designers, vintage, brand new, used,
all the great little trades that we take from all
of our little community members.
And today we're going to shop for pride.
- I know she said she wanted something like maybe
monochromatic, but I want it to be colorful still.
We cannot have all black at pride.
Not happening.
- So I feel like this is like
cute and sexy, right?
- Pride, yes, love this.
- I feel bad because it covers,
but it's still like a little pop of pride.
- So honestly, maybe I said no black,
but I might take that back.
- Ohhh
wait, could that work?
We like a little lingerie moment.
- I think this is like incredible,
and again like a cool monochromatic type feel.
What would she wear under?
- She's already wearing a shirt that's like half anyway.
She might be into this.
- This I'm obsessed with animal print,
and this is also very sexy, but not like pride.
- This is cute as hell.
- Sparkly.
- No.
- I feel like a lot of things sometimes with like
plus sized clothing it's like too covered up.
- Okay, the only thing is this isn't like very pride.
- Think Jazzmyne would like this?
- Ooh,
pleather.
- Oh, that's cute for like an event or something,
not for this.
- I don't know.
- I'm like not finding anything over here,
so we'll just keep moving along.
- Should I just put her in spanks
and build an outfit around this?
- If this whole thing was rainbow then yes,
but it's not, so we don't want her.
- (quietly screams)
- Gray, step away from the gray.
- I wish there was just something that just yelled gay.
- Ooh, too, covering up too much.
- I think I have the outfit.
Now I want to get some accessories.
- All right, you have 2 minutes.
- Oh (bleep).
- Ooh, this is pretty cute.
- Are these too much?
- These are cute.
I kind of want these.
- Wait, do I want these?
- I like that.
- See, this one is not quite the pink that we have,
but this one says slut on it and she's 19
and I don't know her like that.
- I think Jazzmyne is going to look so good
in what I picked for her.
And I think she's actually really going to like it.
- I think she's going to like it.
I hope so.
How did you think shopping went?
- I think it went really well,
and I'm really excited for you to try it on,
because I know you're going to look amazing.
- Oh, I love the confidence!
- How do you think it went for you?
- I had like a thousand outfits I felt like,
and they all felt good, like you're gonna look good in them,
but I was like, what's the one?
And then I finally settled on one.
I think you're gonna look great in it.
I think it's your style, but I'm nervous.
- Anything you like I think I'll be very happy with.
- I hope so.
- I want you to try yours first, so here's your outfit.
- (excited scream)
Whoa!
- There you go.
- I already love it.
- You ready Jazz?
- Yeah!
- You look so good!
This is exactly what I imagined.
- I love it.
I would show up to work in this tomorrow,
I love it so much.
You know when you just love an outfit,
you're like, "I'll wear it anywhere?"
- Yes. - Well like this is so great.
I love the blue theme.
I love this set underneath it.
It's like enough skin, but it's still covered and fun.
- It looks incredible, and I feel like it's so you.
- Yes!
- And it just screams Jazzmyne.
- Yes!
- So before, Jazzmyne, you told me
that you really like the monochromatic look.
And I just saw this piece and I was like, okay,
everything has to be about this.
- Yeah.
- Because it's so incredible.
- I love that the blues don't match.
This purse is adorable.
These glasses are so cute.
Like it's all perfect.
I think this would be so comfortable during pride,
because one, it's usually hot, and this is like
enough to keep it like airy, but it's not like
I'm scaring the children.
- Do you think it's danceable?
Can you like twirl?
- Come on!
- Do some twirling.
- Yes!
I love it.
Thank you.
- Me too, yes.
- All right, now it's your turn.
- All right. Let's go.
- Fly in, fly in.
Okay!
- Ready?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- Go off.
All righty, let's see the outfit come in.
- Hi!
- (screams)
Okay, what do you think about this?
- I like it.
- Do you?
- Yeah, like I feel like I would wear the pants
like maybe if I styled them differently, like not for pride.
- Yeah.
- But for pride, like, yeah I'm feeling it.
- Okay.
- Definitely love the color, love the sunglasses.
- Oh my gosh, this is-
- And then look at this, can we look at this bag?
- Were you okay with this? - Love it.
- Okay. - I think it's so cool.
- (yells excitedly)
I was like, okay what accessories, what accessories?
Saw these glasses which I'm, like, intimidating as hell.
Also go with the pants and then this bag,
like, empower that (beep).
- Yeah, I feel so good-
- Good. - And I feel very Jazzmyne,
and I feel, obviously you approve and I love it.
I think this is really good for pride,
because like, the pants, like, just easy to walk in.
No, like, chaffing.
- No.
- None of that problem, but they're also still, like
super sexy, even though there's no skin.
It's like, I need a whip right here.
- Yes!
- Um, but other than that, like, I love it.
I think the glasses, amazing.
- Good.
- It's gonna be sunny out, gotta have my arms out-
- Yes, yes, yes.
- It's gonna be hot.
Like I feel empowered, and I feel like I'm ready
to go out there and be, like, proud-
- Yes!
- And have the best time at pride.
- Yes.
So I really love that, like, we have two different vibes,
but they're two just, like, really strong, bold vibes.
- Absolutely, and I feel like pride is the best place
to, like, experiment with style and stuff.
- Exactly.
- So this is something I wouldn't normally wear,
like, on the street, or like, going to class or something.
- Right, right, right.
- At pride, like, everyone's all for it.
- Exactly.
- This is a time I feel like pride is for you to be you.
- Yeah.
- So wear what you want and what makes you feel beautiful
and confident, and that's what we're going to do.
- Yes!
