0:04 Hi, you love then too, censure, Wow, crazy, you'll why Coup of America. It's time for the Adventures of Pipe Man on W four C. Why do'm com wis Poon Beach is number one Internet radio station. Here's your host, the pipe Man. It is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four C Y Radio and I'm here with ari'all are better known as Satan Seamstress. I love that, thank you. That's why I like for the guests to say who they are, because they say it cord and I did, and I gotta tell you, I do so many festivals and so I see your booth everywhere. Thank you, and it's always so cool. And for listeners that don't know which booth you have, it's the pretty cult. Yes, and that's a really cool name. I mean, I don't even care how you came up with the name. I just want to say it's a really cool name. Thank you, because it says it all. That's why when people ask bands like how do you get your band name? Sometimes just use some common sense, think about it for a second and you'll figure it out. Yep. And that's exactly it with the name of yours. So tell us what the Pretty Cult is, though we like to say that the Pretty Cult is a it's a brand for the rock

1:37 and roll, which we're an alternative lifestyle brand, and we pride ourselves on being very inclusive and we want everyone to feel like they are a part of something, no matter who they are. That's where the name cult kind of came from. I love that. And you know, it's just apropos that you're at Aftershock or any other Danny Wwom festival, because these festivals are where there are no outsiders and everybody's included. So absolutely it's all brands together right there. Yes, And funny enough, when I was going to Louder than Life, I ironically saw this girl I know, in the airport. She was flying somewhere else and I was just coming into Louder in Life or something the other way around. And she loves the Pretty Cult, like so much wonderful. She's always posting stuff on her Instagram stories and stuff with the Pretty Cult, and she's like she does modeling. She's like, I would really just want a model for the Pretty Cult. Oh my gosh, Well, whoever she is, please reach out. We love to work with new models.

2:53 We'll see that absolutely tell her please do. And there's probably a lot of others listening that would do, because what maybe describe some of the stuff that you have in your booth and that you know that could give them a visual description as if they were here with us. Absolutely, so we do a We are well known for our Tarot flannel. We have many other items besides that. Though we have our taro Tes Tarot flannel, we have something called our Cult Collection line, which is all clothing I design myself, which is everything from kimonos, shorts, sprawlets, everything from every day where, workout where to festival where and then yeah, and then I design all the Tarot cards as well. Everything within the brand I still create and design from the artwork down to the clothing design to the fabric sourcing and yeah, and then we have a range of accessories now you know, everything you would need at a festival, like sunglasses, down to jewelry, homeware, candles, Like we kind of do it all. I love it, and I do have to say that what catches my attention most when I walk by is those flannels. Yes, the flannel is honestly the flannels, like one of the first items I started doing way back in the day it was all like upcycled vintage flannel, and then it got to the point where I wanted to just start producing my own. And at the time I had never seen, at least in an alternative scene, people doing taro on flannel. Yeah, so

4:28 I kind of want that was my idea. I've never seen this, let's do it, and it just kind of took off and everyone really loves it, which is awesome. And tell me, do most people do you know or what do you your opinion is by the taro because it looks cool or because they know what it means and as meaning to it. That's a great question. I would say it's kind of split down the middle. We get people who will ask us who will say, I don't know a lot about taro, can you help me decide what to buy because I want it to be a card that you know reflects me. Or we have people who are straight up like I love that art and I need that. So it really it's really split down the middle. See that would be kind of me because I'm totally into taro and stuff, but I would look at something that looks cool and it would probably be the worst tarot for me is the one I would pick. Well, that's the beauty of taro. The cards apply to everyone at some point in their life, and certain ones just resonate more with you. It's different times of your life, so it could be something going on personally and that's why you're just attracted to that one in that moment.

5:41 Was there something that you experienced or saw or what have you that made you like that give you that moment like this is what I need to do. Yeah. I grew up an extremely religious home, so that makes sense. Yeah, so I think this was a response to that. And witchcraft is the only time that I have felt extremely comfortable and within that I have found a community of friends, brands, bands, you know, that are of the same like minded nature. And yeah, it's the only thing that has really ever in my life in that area spoke to me and felt the most comfortable and natural. And it's undeniable the parallels with tarot astrology, any anything encompassing in that world that you're into, Like, in my opinion, you can't deny it. There's just so many things you keep well, Like I say, example, okay, you're wearing that lists it's Aquarius. I'm a libra. Okay, okay, I am a total everything you read about the personality that's me, And so how can get deny it? Like exactly, Like it's like how many times I would say, wow, that's so libra, like what I do or whatever, and you know, and so you really can't deny it. And then you see other people and even your compatibility with people mm hmm. I even see with my kids. The relationship i'

7:14 with the kids depends on what sign they are, like how we interact with each other. I also like to look at it as a tool to use through life. If I know maybe I'm having a hard time working with someone or miscommunication or something like that, if I know or I'm able to figure out their zodiac sign, I can be like, okay, that this person might be responding this way because this is a little bit of their nature. Maybe I can approach the situation differently knowing that maybe people who are of that zodiac sign, that's kind of their their natural instinct to respond in a certain way, you know. And like, again, it's a blanketed statement, but I like to look at it as many things in witchcraft, a tool for you to use in your life. Yeah, you know, like I am so in a Quarius like textbook everything you see, same thing I say.

8:03 I love to say like, oh, my Aquarius is showing you know what? Right? Totally so, And maybe you could explain to listeners because there's a lot of misconceptions. What is it that made you feel like being a witch made the most sense? You know, because like people have these thoughts of what being a witch is that they get from watching TV shows. Absolutely, in my experience, being a witch has been the most inclusive community that I have come across. There isn't I mean, of course there's right and wrong, but it's not as opposed to not judgmental. It's not judgmental exactly, and there's many different ways and forms and walks of life. And for the most part in my experience, in many people in my community's experience have felt the same way, and it's just felt it feels the most natural when you take away all the scary stuff and you realize, like, we're not worshiping the devil. Most witches actually don't even believe in the devil.

9:07 So there's only really one religion that believes in the devil. Yeah, okay, so yeah, and I think it's kind of funny. That's like fictional character that looks weird and that's supposed to be you know, I don't know, scary. And even as an example, like I'm wearing a Sliyher shirt right now, and I was friends who went back to the day in the beginning. We used to sit backstage and laugh of what people thought because like, they're not devil worshippers. It was just part of how they wrote the music. Absolutely no, and that's the misconception. I remember being in high school wearing an azzy Diary of a Madman shirt and people came up to me at school and they were like, oh my god, you're a devil worshiper, but you'll love this story to best. I figured out how to get rid of Jehovah's witnesses from your door. Oh amazing, Okay, they came to my door. When I was a teenager. We had I had like Slayer blasting in the background, and I think I was wearing that same Ozzie shirt and I'm like, uh, yeah, no, I'm not interested.

10:16 I'm a devil worshiper. And like I had like an upside down cross ear ring and my azsy Diary of a Madman's shirt and so they believed me and they ran. They were like scared. It was great, amazing. So anybody out there, that's the if you want a way to get rid of them, that's the way going back to Louder than life. Yes, do you know about that tree in Louisville? Oh? See you don't? I can oh now next year. It's not at the venue, but in Louisville, near the venue, there's this like famous witch tree what and everybody goes there for it. It is cool as shit. I mean like it's wild.

11:05 Like even while I was driving down the road like with the GPS, I couldn't find because the GPS, I asked somebody out the window and they pointed it right out to me. Like it and then you go up to it. I don't even want to spoil it for you because when you drive up to it, you're like you're gonna be like wow. Because last year my media partner she's a witch, and I surprised her. She didn't know where I was bringing her like before the venue, and I'm good at pulling off surprises, like she was getting a little like where are we going? You'll see don't worry about it. And she was like, oh my god, and there's like people going there, like it's not like there are other people there and it's that's sick. Yeah, I did not know about this.

11:48 I will definitely have to make a trip there next year when we're out Louder than Life. Yes see, you get If you can't figure out where it is, reach out to me and I'll get you the address, absolutely will so, and anybody there in Louisville that or anybody going to Louder in Life, they need to visit the pretty cult and that tree. Yes, yes, please come visit us. And meanwhile, here after I do ask you, which is your favorite one to work? I have all the Danny Wimmer first, yeah, I love them all, but without a doubt it's after shock me too. This is for the reason for me, cause my area is never like this said the other one's lottery. Life's close. But the vibe of right, the vibe of this area is like so cool with the bar and the drip bar and the chef. That's the first year with the chef, though, I hope that comes every year. But you know, and then it gets pretty packed in here to a point where it's like shit, I have to do interviews. Everybody's having fun out there. I love how they have all the spooky decorations too. Yeah that's chaming. She decorates this whole thing. Yeah, it's super cute in here. So what else would you want to tell people about the Pretty Cult that we haven't covered?

13:05 Ray? You know, come see us at any of the Danny Wimmer festivals. We're at almost all of them. We also have been working with some really amazing artists. We had two signings yesterday at our booth with an amazing artist called Holy Wars and another one called Luna Aura with them both yesterday. They are very cool. Yeah, amazing women, extremely talented musicians, and I've been honored to work with them. We have merch collabs, stuff like that, and we are working on doing more of that next year, working with more artists and hopefully being able to bring even more experiences to our booth for everyone who comes to these festivals. I just want everyone to experience something different at Pretty Cult and have it be a place you want to be.

13:54 You want to go because we always have something cool going on this whole weekend. We've even had a free photo booth with the professional photographers. You get like really nice cute edited photos. We have props and everything. Yes, anyone I want to do, Yes, come on by, We will take your photo. We got all sorts of fun. It could be my new radio thing, my new right. Would be honored, you see that, I would be honored. I have to change up my logo because my hair was blue and so my hair is blue and the logo, so now I need a new shot. All right, let's do it. There you go, And how do people reach out to you on socials on the web all that kids. Yeah, we are on all social media platforms, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram. Everything is at the pretty cult. I will say that our instagram or our instagram is really pretty and our TikTok is lit.

14:46 Yeah, we do a lot of really fun stuff on there, and you can see more of our personality on TikTok and then our Instagram's just pretty. But yeah, we're everything is at the pretty cult. So what's your favorite TikTok that you've done? To be honest, it's not even like any of the trends I like doing. We do a lot of logging and I love doing that and It's been really cool because we've actually had quite a few people this weekend and in other festivals and events we do come up and say that they love watching our vlogs and seeing what it's like because we're you know, we're not musicians, of course, but like we are touring to the yeah, to the extent of a band, I mean like like thirty yeah, thirty events or something this year, and people love say seeing the behind the scenes, you know, as someone a brand, a sponsor of these festivals, like what we have to do to get to point at a point B well, our days like and honestly, those are the most fun for me.

15:46 And I think that our viewers always kind of mention that they like seeing what we're doing and they recognize us. They come up and they're like, oh, yeah, like I saw you in this video, so that's super cool. That is cool. I love that, and I love the pre cult like it always draws my attention at every festival and I do them all.
