Speaker 1 (00:09):
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast. Okay, so, about
a week ago, I got in a mood and I decided,
okay to cut my own hair. Yeah. Now this I
did not expect this to go as viral as it
(00:32):
did online. This went like nutso, which is crazy and great,
but that's not what I intended. I literally was just like,
you know what, I've been thinking about it for a while,
and I've been thinking like, okay, I kind of need
a change now. If anyone knows me, they know. I mean,
going back to nine o two one oh days, I
(00:55):
I was always about doing changes, especially to my hair.
I mean, how many different hairdoos did I have as
Donna Martin on nine o two and zero throughout the
ten seasons. A lot different colors, different cuts. And it
came from me just like I'm not scared of change.
Like I'm scared of a lot in life, which I'm
(01:16):
getting better about that, but I'm definitely not scared of change.
I like taking a chance. I like pushing the envelope.
I like doing that when it comes to hair, makeup,
wardrobe for sure, fashion Like I love to tweak things
and make them my own. Never want to just like
follow something I like, definitely do what I what feels
(01:41):
good to me, and if people like it, they like it,
and if they don't like it, well okay. So I
have definitely cut my hair over the years, and in fact,
some of those Donna Martin short does I did myself
even color some color myself there too. So and I
(02:05):
feel like at different times in my life, I've gone
back to the Bob Like it's definitely like one of
my go to hair news over you know, the last
three decades. So for a while, I've kind of been like, Okay, okay,
you know, I kind of want to cut my hair,
do something different. And anyway, I kind of got it
(02:28):
into my brain last week. I was like, you know what,
I'm feeling like, I want to do it. I want
to do it. And we had an event coming up.
And when I say event, it wasn't like a red
carpet like press event, but it was a Night of
the Jack, which officially was my family. You know, this
(02:51):
is the spooky season. I'm all about horror, I'm all
about Halloween. It is my season and my family too.
We love Halloween so much, always have and love doing
different things. Night of the Jack is one of our
traditions that we do and we go every year and
it's at the Gillette Ranch in a Goa and in
(03:16):
La and it's so wonderful. You walk this entire like
trails miles. It's good exercise too, by the way, and
you see these amazing artistic installations involving pumpkins, and you
know they'll be like ones like for the Simpsons and
(03:38):
ones for like Jurassic Park, but also just like all different,
all different things. There's something for everyone there. I really
it's it's the same wonderful company that does Holiday Road
every year, which is kind of all holiday themed. So
it's really fun. It's great for all ages and it's cool.
(03:59):
And my friend has an installation there, an installation like
they also have like cool food trucks and they have
things you can purchase and buy. And one of my
son's best friend's moms has an amazing company called Rain's Calabasis,
(04:19):
which is all my forever jewelry that I wear, and
she you know, they weld it on and so she
was doing it and she was like, oh, you know, come,
and it was friends and family night. It was the
opening night, and I was like Okay, sounds great. So
me and all the kiddo's and my kid's best friend
went and so I was like thinking, Okay, you know what,
(04:41):
maybe i'll cut my hair for that. Maybe i'll do it.
Maybe I'll do it. And two of my best friends
are hairstylists and do my hair typically, and I kept waiting.
I kept waiting, and I was like, okay, I'm gonna
have Kim and Nicole do my hair. And I waited
too long and it was like the day before, So okay,
here's what I really did. So it was the day before,
(05:03):
and I was like, you know what, I really think
I want to do it for a night of the Jack.
So I was like, okay, well in case, I went
on Amazon. I did Prime. It was the overnight one,
you know that one where they drop it off between
four and eight am, and scared the shit out of
you because you hear someone at the door and the
dog barks and you're like, what is it and it's like, oh,
it's Amazon, and then you go back to sleep for
(05:25):
two hours and you're super happy. But yeah, I ordered
professional scissors, and you know, they were only like nine
dollars nine nine cents, but professional scissors. I was ready
in case I wanted to do this, and so I
(05:46):
then went in. I would say, you know, like about
two hours before the event, and Stella, my seventeen year old,
was getting ready and I said to her, and she's
really great with hair and makeup and beauty and doing
all of that. And I said, hey, so I think
I'm going to cut my hair and she's like when,
(06:08):
and I said, well for tonight. She's like, why would
you do that? And I go because I want to,
and she's like she So Stella and I have so
much in common, but she's definitely I'm more of a
dreamer and she's more of a realist. You know. She's
practical and you know, my head's in the clouds and
(06:29):
I'm like, like, let's do it woo, and she plans
things out. So I was like, yeah. She was like,
don't do that tonight. No, She's like, if you want,
I'll curl your hair. Like it's fine, She's like, you know,
and then tomorrow I'll help you and you'll cut your hair.
(06:49):
So I was like, okay, So of course, if you
know me, if you tell me no, it's going to happen.
So of course, once I left her room, and she
was like, naysayer about it happening. It had to happen
like right then and there. Uh so, uh yeah. So
I took my sisters and I stood in front of
(07:12):
my mirror in my bathroom and I just started cutting.
I just started. Now, I'm a crafter, you guys, g
I wire, so I feel like I'm I can cut
a straight line. Like, let's just say, I'm really good
at doing stuff like that. So a lot of people
(07:33):
online were like, no, way, do you do that yourself.
It's too straight. I'm like, yes, the way I did myself,
and yes, it is straight. So I was really proud.
So I did one side and I just like, you know,
of course I had extensions, so I was taking my
extensions out. I cut them and then took the rest out.
(07:57):
But I hadn't gotten my extensions done in so long
that I had to do something with my hair because
I had, like I had like two extensions hanging by
a thread. You guys, you know, good thing I'm a
podcaster because you don't have to see the back of
my hair. Because I felt like, for the last month
I'm a podcaster. I'm a tory of all trades, but
(08:18):
currently I am a podcaster. I'm Tory and I'm a podcaster.
I'm proud of it. But you don't have to see
the back, you know. You know. So I've had like
two extensions attached in my head that I've been hanging
on to for dear life. And I was like, Okay,
I got to get my hair done and again, like
(08:38):
I said, didn't have the time and didn't get in
to see my friends that so graciously do my hair.
So yeah, so I cut one side and you know,
once you do one side, you got to go for
the other side. So it felt good though when I
did that one side, it was like this like feeling
(08:59):
of like, yes, I just stepped out of my comfort zone.
I just went and did something and I can't go back,
which is so freeing. And then I went in because
I had to rub it in, So I cut one
side and I walked into the stellar's room like hi,
(09:21):
and she's like, why would you do that? I can't
believe you did that? Why would you do that? And
Finn's best friend Arthur was over and he's like that's cool. Actually,
He's like, why don't you leave it that way? You
could like that's like could be a trend and I
was like, no, I'm not doing that, but yeah, so
(09:41):
then I went back in. I was a little nervous, like, okay,
how do you measure to make sure that one side's
the anyway? Long story short, get it long story short,
because I cut my hair short here for the next hour,
so I thirty months last. But I then so once
(10:02):
I cut both sides, I'm not gonna lie, it was longer.
And then I'm a perfectionist though, and I was like, oh,
that one wasn't completely straight, so then I kept dropping
it and chopping it. Good news is it worked out
at some point and I got it perfectly straight so
(10:24):
I could stop and didn't end up with like a
pixie cut or something. But yeah, it worked out. I
couldn't do the back. I mean, I cut a good
chunk off the back, but I was like, I can't
line this up perfectly, so I had to ask Stella
to please cut the back. So I still don't know
what the back looks like. And yeah, I'm not quite sure,
(10:46):
but it's okay because for podcast's sake, it's fun. But anyway, yeah,
I did it, and as soon as I did it.
I'm I did my makeup, and my makeup felt better.
I looked in the mirror you guys, and there was
a sparkle again. Yeah, and I realized I didn't have
(11:08):
my contracted and I was like, oh wait, I can't
see but uh just kidding, not kidding. Yeah, there was
like it's so crazy to think, but and it sounds
like oh okay, yeah, literally a weight lifted off of me.
Like I don't know, I just felt really good about myself.
And it wasn't just a physical thing. It was like
(11:30):
in my soul like it was like, Okay, I feel
really good about this. And I got dressed and it
was interesting because you know sometimes with wardrobe, you know,
girls would go through like put something on, We're like, eh, nope, nope, nope.
(11:51):
I put on the first outfit and I was like, bingo.
It's just like even the clothes I felt looked better
on me with my new duo. So anyway, we went
to Night of the Jack and it was funny because
(12:14):
I went with five kids. My oldest son didn't go,
he had plans with his friends. So it was Stella, Hattie, Finn,
and Bo and Finn's best friend Arthur, so I still
went with five kids and me and typically, you know,
in the past, years past, because we've been going to
(12:34):
this event for years, it would be you know, me
and Dean and all of the kids, or it would
be me and you know me and friends, like you know,
my best friend Jess would come and her kids. And
what I'm getting to is, I would always have a
like last year, my friend Carly came, Like I would
(12:56):
always have a friend there, an adult of sorts. This
is the first year I was like, Okay, I went
to this event all by myself with five kids, which
is fine, but when you get on the trail, Okay, first,
before I get on the trail, I have to give props.
(13:16):
You guys know, I love food so much, and so
they have amazing food trucks set up and they have
a spook Easy Hairy spook Easy bar and that was
really cool. And they have like fun cocktails and fun
mocktails for the kids in hot chocolate if they want
apple cider. Anyway, we went to the food trucks first
(13:38):
before we hit the trail, and yeah, the kids were
getting like, you know, they're getting like chicken tenders. There
were a lot of chicken tenders at these trucks, which
makes sense. It's a family affair. And then I'm like,
my daughter said, she's like, I don't know what I'm
gonna get because I don't really eat chicken tenders, and
that's all that's here. And then you know, when she
(14:00):
tells me that's all that's here, I have to prove
to her that's not all it's here. So still is
one of my best friends. By the way, Yeah, we're
such a yan and yang. Like it's like me and
Jess we're yin yang and together we just make a hole.
So then I was like, went on a mission, and
guess what I found something. I found tail patients, which
(14:22):
I'm going to talk about briefly because it's one of
those things that I'm going to go on record here
and I'm not hyping something up and putting it on
a pedestal and then you're gonna try it and be
like womp, womp. I am still thinking about this. So
it is basically the lobster version of a chicken tender.
So what it is is you go and you get
(14:44):
a cone, and you get one whole lobster tail, and
so you can hold and it's like and it's deep
fried the lobster meat like a chicken tender is, and
you hold the tail and you eat the chicken tender.
I'm drooling right now even talking about it. You guys,
this was like, First of all, I was like, good
(15:07):
on you. This is like super smart. I feel like
in the last not I've always loved lobster and crab
and everything, but I feel like it's been, you know,
on trend. There's been a lot of like, you know,
lobster food trucks coming up in the last ten years.
I would say, but this one, I've never seen anything
like it. And then they had the hot honey that
(15:29):
they can drizzle in the bottom of your cone, so
when you hold it in there, you can like dip
it in then eat it. I was like, uh, yes, please.
And then I was like, I'm a foodie and I
am obsessed with the notion of this. And I tasted.
I was like, this is so good. So of course,
you know me, I'm like fascinated by things and people.
I was like, like, where where can we find you?
(15:52):
Do you do you do parties? Like, oh my gosh,
this is great. And I was like, and I love
a foodie. I love a food I love a foodie too,
but I'm a foodie. So I was like, what do
you have sauces? What do you have? And he was like, oh,
we have this amazing Meyer lemon salt and I was like, uh, yes, please,
(16:14):
because lemon goes so well on lobster or crab if
you're eating it. So the fact that they put that
into a hybrid and did a salt, you get a
little salt taste on it and you get that Meyer lemon,
so it's sour but sweet. Okay. Anyway, Oh my god,
this thing was so good and I was like, okay,
(16:35):
now if I could convince my picky eaters to eat this. Hello.
I went back to the table and they're also they're
with their chicken tenders and like fries, and I'm like, guys,
you got to see what I just got, Like, I
just got a lobster tender basically, And I told them
all and they were like, oh maybe maybe. They all
(16:56):
took a bite and loved it. Here's where the real
test comes. I said, bo, do you want to try this?
And he's like, I don't know, I don't know how
that looks and I don't easy. He took a bite
and he goes, mom, this is one of the best
things I've ever tasted. Can I have one? And I
was like, uh no, they're twenty dollars a piece. Absolutely not. No,
(17:18):
I'm just kidding. No. So I went back and I
got him one and he ate the whole thing and
he loved it. Anyway, and then they showed me pictures
of parties they've done where they top it with caviar,
and I was like, oh my god. Anyway, this thing
was so good. It's one of those things in life
that you like just always think about and there's certain
(17:39):
foods you taste and you're like, oh, I'll keep dreaming
about that and have the taste in my mouth till
like I have it again. So anyway, and I slim
to their DMS the next day and I was like,
oh my gosh, it's amazing. I'm still thinking about it.
And they were like, well, we're back there tonight, We're
here the whole month. Tell everyone, and I was like,
(18:01):
oh I can, I've already told everyone. Anyway, Taltass you
can follow them on Instagram, super good, just a fan. Anyway,
then we hit the trail, so, oh, here's what I
like about it as an adult with kids and you're
in a you know, you're in a super safe, controlled area,
(18:25):
and as an adult, it's nice to have a libation
at times. So I've been coming to this event for
so many years that they used to have a bar,
like an adult bar at the very beginning, and then
you would go on. You would walk for like an
hour on this trail and you'd be like, oh my god,
(18:46):
I just wish I had one more drink so I
could deal with these kids while I'm walking. But you
couldn't write. But you know, things change when you are
old and you've been doing something for so long. They
now have a midpoint where they have a bar, another bar,
and they have more food. They have dessert stuff, So
(19:11):
that was cool for the kids anyway. Yeah, so we
start this trail and the kids left me. This is
the point I'm really trying to get to. The kids
left to me. Now I'm not I'm the type of girl.
I have never in my life seen a movie in
a movie theater alone. I think I didn't eat by
(19:34):
myself for the first time, and I've only done like
a handful of times, maybe not even I think I
ate a sushi bar, like, well into my forties, you guys.
And I sat there and I was like, I have
never eaten alone out you know, so I'm definitely not
someone who does things by themselves. I think so anyway,
(19:57):
But you know, I come, we're a packed, like a
wolf pack. So my kids are always with me. But
they were so excited with their friends and they can
just run ahead and look at everything and all the installations,
and I'm like that they ran and I wasn't gonna run.
Even my short too. I was like no, So I
(20:21):
just walked by myself through this entire maze. Oh good.
It was like it was fun, but you want someone
to interact with and be like, oh look at this
cool thing? Oh look at that? Do you love that one?
What do you think you want to have a conversation
about these beautiful and cool sounds you're hearing and light
(20:45):
show and pumpkin installations, and you know, it's just me.
So I'm like, you know, talking out loud, like I'm like, oh, loo,
that's so cool. That's so cool. And then I'm like god,
are people like, oh my god, that poor woman walking
this trail alone like she has no friends, And I'm like, no,
(21:05):
my kids are here. They're just they just ran up ahead,
and every once in a while I would catch up
to them and they'd be like, we couldn't find you.
I'm like, you couldn't find me, what do you mean?
You literally took off like it was a marathon, and I,
on the other hand, was walking through and enjoying this
(21:27):
Halloween art exhibition by myself. So I was grateful for
the bar because at least I had my one drink,
which it was two drinks by the time I got
through the trail, which was fine, slow and steady wins
the race. I ended up having a nice time, and
right at the end of the trail there's two security
(21:50):
guards and it's kind of we were there on the
later side. So it was because because my hair took
longer to cut, I was like, kids, be ready to
leave at seven, and then it was like eight fifteen,
and I'm like, I'm just finishing. And I gotta say, you, guys,
if anyone thinks I really didn't do this myself, I
(22:13):
have the war wound to prove it. You can't say this,
but I did. I cut myself at one point because
I am not a professional and I don't endorse anyone
doing this at home, right unless you really know how
to work professional scissors because they are sharp as shit.
(22:36):
And yeah, at one point I was like ooh, and
it was a gusher. It was it was bleeding so much,
and I was like, don't let Stilla know. Can't let
Stella know. She's gonna be like, see, see you were rushing.
You shouldn't have done it tonight. So I like snuck
downstairs and I couldn't stop the bleeding, and I was like,
(22:58):
oh god, oh god. And I found Finn and his
best friend Arthur, and I was like, guys, find me
the super glue. And they're like what why? And I
was like, I got a wound. I got to seal
it up. And they were like, oh okay. Oddly enough,
the didn't ask any questions. They're like, on it, yeah,
I don't know. That's basically what they do if you
(23:19):
go to the er, if you don't need stitches, is
they seal it up. So if you're ever in a pinch,
a pinch or a cut, you can you have to
first stop the bleeding, which I couldn't stop, and then
you have to seal it with glue. Anyway, so I
did that, So yeah, proudly wear this because this wound.
(23:42):
Because people are like, no way, should do it herself.
I'm like you anyway, back to the trail. So I
get to the end of the trail and I believe
where their name's hm, Derek and Michael. I believe it
was Derek and Michael. So I thought it was funny
because the whole time during the trail, to entertain myself,
(24:05):
I was you know, I was taking video of everything
so I could post for Knight of the Jack because
they're like family to us over these years, and I
wanted to say like, hey, you know, we had a
great time. It's beautiful people, please go support this is
a great Halloween event. So I'm kicking my little videos
and then I think it's funny, like hey, filming myself
like a dork, Like here I am alone. I can't
(24:28):
find my kids. They left me. So as I get
to the end, Michael and Derek, I was like, I
was like, excuse me, excuse me, and I'm filming. I
was like, do you think it's cool? Like my kids
just totally left me and here I am alone, and
one of them I forgot which one says recognizes me
(24:49):
even with my short hair, and he goes, what And
then my kids I find them and I was like
and they're like, they left you. What do you mean?
And I was like yeah. And then and they turned
to my kids and they go, do you know who
your mom is? She's the goat. I was like, what
what do you mean. They're like, oh my god, she's
(25:11):
the goat and they were like all about scary movie too,
and they were like, so you know, I'm like, yeah,
I started like saying my famous line like they like
she had sex with a ghosts. They didn't say this
to my kids, but they were saying it to each
other and like they're like, oh my god, my sister's
gonna freak out, like like yeah, And I was like,
you know, so then I go into my spiel where
I'm like say my famous line that I created, like
(25:34):
Kink's my meddle name bitch and yeah. So AnyWho, I
was just like, oh my gosh, you hear the goat
thrown around so much and I was like, Wow, no
one's ever called me the goat. So I was feeling
pretty pumped up at that point. The kids really were
like okay, okay, now I did make some joke because
(25:54):
you know, I can't take a compliment. So I was like, oh,
I was like, I've never been called the goat is
like horse before, yeah yeah, or horse face or something,
but goat. I'll take that anyway. That's just me. So
(26:16):
we finished the trail, we went home, and so it's
about a week into the haircut, guys, and I'm telling you,
I am loving it. I did post online, which I
really I posted about it because I was feeling real
good and I was saying, you know, it felt like
it felt good to have a change. My soul feels lighter,
(26:38):
my spirits are lifted. I'm literally in a better mood,
which is crazy. But life gets stressful and sometimes and
I feel shallow, saying like, oh, a physical change can
do everything, Like it's not about physical stuff. It's about
how you feel inside. But sometimes doing something physical can't
(27:00):
impact you internally. And I support that because they do
say it is the season, you know what the clips happening.
It's like all the woo moon stuff right now, and
they say shed. It is the time to shed what
no longer serves you. And those long extensions hanging by
(27:21):
a thread no longer served me. So I cut it. Oh,
my friend Carly says to me, she said, do you
still have the hair? She says this to me the
next day, and I said, have you met me and
messy this? But of course I still have the hair.
Promise I'm gonna clean it up today. She's like, no, no, no,
when you clean it, don't throw away keep that hair.
(27:43):
She's like, you're supposed to under the moonlight bury it
next to a tree, So have it in a bag.
I have not buried it yet, but she says she
was gonna get me more details. But I'm curious. You
guys know about this, like when you cut your hair
and it's like a release or something to move on.
(28:06):
I don't know, but I plan on doing it. This
is something I don't know about. So before I speak
too much about it anyway, I have it in a
bag because I plan on getting the details from her
and then by the light of the moon burying it
as real. I don't know. I asked her this, and
(28:26):
I said, but what about extensions, And she's like, oh, yeah,
I don't know. And I said it doesn't matter because
my real hair was long enough that not just the
extensions I cut. But I also cut my real hair,
so I have both. No imagine I bury my human
hair extensions, thinking it's gonna who enlighten me and manifest
(28:47):
and all these good things. Because you are you're supposed
to say, like your manifestations and what you want and
what you're releasing. So to this girl somewhere in the world,
if something magical happens to you, welcome. No, but I'm
gonna the small snippets of my actual hair, which was
probably about shoulder length, my natural hair, I'm gonna just
(29:09):
bury that. Oh you know what, I got a lot
of you guys, which I'm not seeing it, but I'm
not mad at it. She's beautiful. So many comments when
I posted Now, first of all, the photos I first
posted online were I had done my own makeup, but
(29:30):
I had done like, you know, a full face of
event makeup because we had gone out to this event
and I was feeling all special and you know, I
had my ring light on for lighting and it was moody,
but I felt really good about it. And then the
next day, the next couple of days after that, I've
posted you know where my hair is not my flat iron,
(29:52):
it's not completely flat iron. I don't have makeup on,
so people can see both. But when I posted the
photo with my makeup done, so many comments said she
looks like Chris Jenner. I don't see it. And I
love Chris Jenner and I think she looks amazing. But
it's so funny, is it? Because I have short hair?
(30:14):
And the interesting thing is maybe it's a makeup technique
because I remember years ago when I did some look
with my friend. We did like a twiny like Jean
outfit jumpsuit, and I was on the MTV show Messiness.
I you know, had full makeup done for camera and everything,
(30:36):
and then we went out afterwards and paparazzi took the
photo and that picture went everywhere and it says, you know,
Tory Spelling looks like Chloe Kardashian, which I was a compliment.
I think she's beautiful, But I was like, oh, is
it a makeup technique like eyeshadow contour like all of that,
And maybe that's what it was with Chris Jenner. I mean,
(31:00):
I don't know, Chris Jenner looks like she's thirty now,
so I'll take the compliment. But yeah, it's just interesting.
I went from looking like Chloe Kardashian to her mom
with and you can relate to this story. Uh, And
I was like, hold on waite, So everyone's telling me
I look younger, but all of a sudden, now everyone
(31:21):
on the line is telling me I used to look
like Chloe Kardashian. Now I look like Chris Jenner. But
then Brian Austin Green, my boy best friend, he I knew.
He's been wanting me to cut my hair, and he
even wants me to make my hair darker, which I'm
considering at some point. But he is the one that,
(31:42):
you know, encouraged me to wear less makeup, and I
look so much younger and I'm so much prettier without
having to hide behind makeup and stuff, which I feel like.
I totally took that note for a while, and then
I slipped back and started putting on a lot of
makeup again. But you know, he he always tells it,
tells me how it is, and I appreciate that. And
(32:03):
that's the point of having a best friend is they
tell you the good, the bad and everything words and
all you love them. And so he told me the
day after I cut it, he said, I love your hair,
And I said, I knew you would, and he said
you look at least a decade younger, and I was like,
(32:25):
I'll take that because it's so interesting. I think I
definitely hide behind my hair. I think because of my
confidence and probably from stuff comments I receive from people
online my whole career. You know, some people think you're
beautiful and some people just boom punch you with how
(32:47):
they think physically you are not. And you know, I
guess we're supposed to take take it with a grain
and salt. It's really hard. It affects you. It stays
with you. So you know, for me, hair as I
got you know, older, I would say was a way
of kind of hiding my face because it was a
(33:09):
confidence thing. So it was a distraction. So I always
felt good with longer hair. I never wore my hair back.
I never, like, you know, people say make it shorter.
I did cut it shorter for the reboot for BH
nine O two one zero, and after that I was like,
but that just felt more Donna. That's why I did it.
But after that, I was like, I'm going back to
my long hair extensions. I love it. So anyway, it's
(33:33):
odd to think with shorter hair because I think we
have that old record in our head that you know,
as women get older, they can't wear long hair, and
older women wear short hair. So I guess that's in
my head a little bit too much, perhaps, but I
you know, it's really it's been. Everybody is saying it
(33:55):
online that I look way younger and better with the
short hair. Now, I'm gonna warn you all now, I
get very bored easily. I like to always mix it up.
I did like having long hair because I can always
do fun stuff with it. I will at some point
(34:15):
probably want to do long hair again or a different haircut,
so don't judge me. Feel free to judge me. But
it's fine. But I'm really happy with it right now.
I feel great and yeah,
