ANECDOTE

Curating The Royal Experience For Deeper Connection

  • Chalene curated a 30-person "Royal Experience" with Zoom hangouts to pre-match women who were funny, unoffendable, and curious to deepen connections.
  • They rotated seats every 10 minutes at dinner so attendees met many people instead of one tablemate.
ANECDOTE

Last-Minute 90s Choreography And Custom Jackets

  • Chalene improvised the opening choreography herself after her hired dancers left early and created 90s-themed moves like Running Man and Vogue.
  • She customized oversized leather jackets with 'do more' and 'be more' and practiced solo onstage the night before.
ADVICE

Buy Many Outfits Then Customize And Return

  • Order multiple outfits and treat fittings like a dressing room: buy many, keep few, and customize inexpensive pieces for stage impact.
  • Chalene bought 10 items, returned eight, and added feathers and trims to personalize looks.
