One of my best friends growing up was Vietnamese, and he and his mom would teach me how to say certain things so I could impress my nail girls.

It's a liquid dehydrator that you paint onto each nail.

The first concert I ever went to was the Bee Gees. I don't know if you remember the Bee Gees. My mom took me. I was little. But my mom was a big disco fan, and - my mom took me to the Bee Gees. Looking back now, it's pretty embarrassing if your first concert was with your mom.
