<p>Vanderpump Rules Makeup artist Jared Lipscomb joins us Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Ok&nbsp;he’s much more than that, but&nbsp;isn’t Vanderpump Rules where all stories should begin? Actually, Jared started doing his own makeup through dressing in&nbsp;drag.&nbsp;Someone said hey you should try this on others - he did - and soon realized a career in makeup was his true calling. His first professional job with someone in the public eye was an Orange Is The New Black cast member. Not a bad way to start. He then met someone who worked at NBC Universal who asked him to help be a touch up artist for one of the&nbsp;Vanderpump&nbsp;Rules after shows. He said yes. Went.&nbsp;Met the entire VR cast. He bonded with Brittany and Kristen this day - they gave him their numbers and the rest is history.&nbsp;Well&nbsp;Vanderpump&nbsp;Rules history which, lets face it - is the only history that matters.&nbsp;Ariana, Stassi, Katie, Kristen, Brittany - he works on them all. Jared takes us on the trajectory from meeting our favorite Vanderwomen - to being there for major life milestones - home owners hello - to this past Season 8 of Vanderpump Rules. Which of the women takes the biggest risks with their makeup and allows Jared to do as he pleases, the answer may shock you. Oh&nbsp;and Jared has also worked on Kelly Dodd's Mom for filming RHOC. Random fact but we are living for it. He has also worked on Madonna’s Gd Control Video. O-M-F-G. What a fun sit down with the one and only Jared Lips. On a serious note, Jared was diagnosed with Leukemia this past year. It is truly heart warming how the cast of Vanderpump Rules stood by him. You know what they say, you find out who you true friends are in tough times. We are happy to report Jared is on the road to recovery and we at The Rope wish him nothing but good health and happiness, always!</p><br><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;@jaredlipscomb</p><br><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;@behindvelvetrope</p><br><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>With the shocking Shahs of Sunset reunion just finished, Dr. Mona Vand from Shah’s of Sunset steps Behind The Rope. Nema’s Sister. Yes, she is, but there is much more to Mona, or should we say Dr. Vand, then her Shah’s cast member brother or her own guest appearances. Growing up with her mom in New York, she kept in touch with Brother Nema and her Dad long distance until she graduated from Pharmacy school and moved to LA herself. Soon realizing she wanted more out of life than a typical pharmacy career, Mona transitioned her career by developing on line content in the lifestyle and health and wellness space. Mona knew Mike which led to a chat with casting which led to a full time role for Nema and guest appearances by her. Mona entertains all of the Ropes questions (thank you) regarding her Shahs co-stars. What does she really think about Nema and GG as a potential romantic pair? First impressions of MJ? Is Reza the gay BFF she always dreamed of? These and other pressing questions, such as what she thinks about the demise of a 30 year friendship between Reza and MJ, answered. And bonus, we got quarantine advice on how to work out, eat healthy, and maintain positive energy and good skin during the sequester. Thanks for the visit Dr. Vand!!</p><p>@monavand</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at - <a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by <a href="https://open.acast.com/betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

Quarantining from a docked boat in France, Malia is here to discuss it all.&nbsp;Originally from Oregon, Malia had no idea the yachting industry was her true calling until a few years ago when she got a call from Below Deck casting.

Why not?, she said, and the rest is history.&nbsp;Malia discusses some of her more high maintenance guests, both on and off camera, some of the most over the top requests she has received during her yachting career, how to handle celebrities you need to say “no” to, and the biggest tip she has ever received.

We also discuss those other LA Agents, the boys and girls from Million Dollar Listing LA, and the differences between the two shows.&nbsp;Of course, we had to bring up Exec Producer Adam DiVello, who was also responsible for one of the Granddaddy’s of them all, The Hills and our love for that classic show.&nbsp;We also discuss the power of Netflix, how Covid probably helped blow up Season 2, and what to expect in Season 3 (for those who have not yet streamed).&nbsp;Finally, with Maya in Miami a good chunk of the time, we talk about the possibility of a possible Miami spinoff in the near future.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@themayavander</p><br><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><br><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Lots to discuss people. Lots to discuss. Where to begin? Audience Appreciation Day is alive and well with avid listener David Goldberg. What's the most interesting thing about David Goldberg? The fact that he listens to the BTVR Podcast. Not even close, although thank you. The fact that he was both Jill Zarin as well as Dorinda Medley's Personal Assistant. Oh yes, we have 101 questions and David G. is kind enough to answer them all about his famous, or shall we say infamous, employers.&nbsp;What WAS working for&nbsp;each like, what was the interview process like, what is the most shocking thing he saw and heard? Oh my, thank you David G. for indulging us.&nbsp;These two Davids met, where else, at a Countess &amp; Friends Cabaret - do we see a pattern here? They reconnected at this season's anti bullying event that was filmed for RHONY. What was that event like? Who ended up doing what off camera? David Squared are here to discuss all. Finally, the two&nbsp;&nbsp;Davids bond over Bravocon where Yontef attended as press on behalf of BTVR and Goldberg assisted Miss Zarin in the sales of her rugs. Assisting Jill also got David Goldberg backstage in the green room at Bravocon's Infamous Watch What Happens Live. Rinna, Gizelle, EJ, oh my. Jealous much - yes yes and yes. What a jam packed episode. As we said, lots to&nbsp;discuss people.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@indigoboydavid</p><br><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><br><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP <a href="https://open.acast.com/betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
