Hi, Vogue, I'm Rossy de Palma.

Let's see what is inside my bag.

Ole.

[flamenco music]

We did this amazing, beautiful bag

that's going to be like an homage to the flamenco dancers.

Did you see?

It's me and Christian Louboutin dancing.

Another piece of our collection together

is this beautiful fan.

I'm totally in love with fans.

I mean, it's an amazing object

because when you are in menopause,

for example, hot flushes,

you take the...

[gasp]

You don't need to charge the fantastic fan.

This is very important, always in my bag.

Look, because I like to read the Tarot of Marseilles.

Look at the Empress.

Creativity, mm?

And what is inside with the Marseilles Tarot?

Always a pendulum.

Do I love Vogue?

Look, when the pendulum goes in circles,

It says yes.

Yes, of course you love Vogue

Did you see?

He loves Vogue too.

I love mystery.

I love the invisible world.

The things we don't know.

like a witch, a modern witch.

Now, what do I have here?

My perfume.

I made this perfume in 2006.

It's made by Etat Libre d'Orange

and I had the chance to make this perfume.

We worked six months with two of the most genius noses

of the Givaudan house.

It's the only perfume in the world

that is made to protect yourself, not to seduce anyone.

I wanted that because seducing is beautiful,

it's funny, but it's fake.

It's something that you provoke.

My aura.

A moment of love between you and yourself

before going to the terrible outside world.

Of course, a telephone.

We cannot live without the telephone.

And when we have a telephone, an iPhone,

of course, I have the charger.

And I have also...

Those, that I lose every time.

This is a present from my son.

And this is a present from my daughter.

I'm always traveling,

in the hotel rooms,

I put it in the bed

and they are with me.

Hmm, so sweet.

This is a panther.

Ah, a rose.

[sniff]

Because I am a rose.

This smells so good.

I have here another piece from our collection.

And look, this is very flamenco too.

I mean, shoes are an amazing object.

The first time I had a shoot with Christian Louboutin,

I put a shoe in my hair.

I put the shoe like that and it was amazing,

and everybody loved it.

That photo became universal.

It's great because shoes are beautiful.

Not only to wear on your feet,

I mean you you put it in your house

as an object of desire.

Christian Louboutin!

Tin, tin, tin.

Louboutin!

Tin, tin, tin.

Ah, the glasses.

Sometimes it's very sunny.

You have to put your glasses on.

This is very special for me,

but I don't want to show you

because they're very, very lucky charms

that come with me everywhere.

But they're...

Don't show it like that.

They keep their power.

Hmm.

And here we have, ah!

An apple,

because sometimes you are a little bit hungry.

[crunch]

They say that one apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Something like that, right?

Love that.

Last but not least,

sometimes you feel a little bit sad.

You put the lipstick, the red one.

And suddenly,

your spirit becomes happy.

A red lipstick works on everybody.

[crunch]

Look at the inside of my bag, huh?

Isn't it beautiful?

because it's beautiful to be beautiful outside,

but it's important to be beautiful inside too,

don't you think so?

Bye-bye babies.

Oh, I am a bag, look.

Bye-bye.
