Speaker 1 (02:48):
So I just want to talk a little bit about
blow Deck in your past seasons. But before we get
into that, your line Pultra right, You've been doing a
lot with panties and you actually gifted me with a
pair of pearl panties. Those things are amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
How'd you come up with that idea?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Well, I have to tell you that I like things
that are timeless, and my mind just thinks in ways
of I like things that are multifunctional. You get a
bigger bang for your buck. And so the pearl panties
there there, it's a pair of thong panties. The thong
(03:27):
and this was actually on the market, but they were
fake pearls. So I took that concept and I made
the pearls detachable, and the pearls become a bracelet or
a necklace, and the lace is washable.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And so they're heirloom panties.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
That can be worn and seen as a as a
bracelet or a necklace.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And we actually have a little stimulation as well.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I have to say there's a little bit of stimulation
involved as well with the pols.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Quite nice.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yes, how did you come there's this idea? So again
with owning a laingerie store. They're Victoria's secret or somebody.
Actually they had a pair of pearl panties, but they
were not real. The pearls were not detachable. So that
was kind of a little bit of the inspell. I
don't really mimic any other designs that are out there,
(04:24):
but it was, you know, taking that basic concept and
making it something that lasts forever.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I love them. They're beautiful, thank you and timeless. And
I'll tell you if you have an opportunity to see them?
Where can people find them?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Helen?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Because so the pearl panties are available on my website
and the other right now they're available in my store
and they will still they will soon be launched on
TikTok shop, so starting May first.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Amazing, so exciting. And I will say, so, you are
the star below Deck and I just want to know,
like you've been on so many times. You even went
out once and didn't get on because of COVID, right,
someone had COVID in your group?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well, actually I was the one that was cast I
was the one that was diagnosed with COVID.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah. We we flew.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
To Genoa, had you know, Richard and all of my
friends guests, and the day before they had a nurse
come in and test everyone for COVID.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The morning of yeah, they told me, Helen, you have
COVID and I.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Was quarantined for five days. That was not bad though,
being in Genoa, Italy, I had to see that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'd rather be quarantine there that Yeah, it was, it was,
It was not that painful.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So what's new for below Deck?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Hunt?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
So well, I would love, love, love to invite you,
Michelle to come as my.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Guess are you kidding.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yes, yeah, I can't wait to watch.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yes, well, you know, just vacationing with you, and I
know you have a true appreciation for you and this
is an experience of a lifetime and so I would love, love,
love to have you come and drink some wine and
have some fun.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And I have to hear like everything about ash are
you gonna come?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well, I was just gonna say, like, are you gonna right?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
We'd love to have you as well as of course
I'll just do my own exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But that would be so fun. Oh my gosh, we
have to talk so much more about that. But I
would love to be a guest on below Deck. And uh,
you know you are one kick butt primary And the
one thing I love about you is you have no shame, right,
I know that, Like you're big into female empowerment and
it means something different to you too. Most women are
girls girls if they if they're on the female empowerment side,
(06:46):
they're cheering girls on. But you're more about the sultry
sexy part and you're not ashamed of it. And that's
why I love that you own a beauty brand and
you know a lingerie you own a lingerie brand that
makes women feel confident and sexy, and you're not scared
to be sexy and intimate, and that's important. A lot
(07:08):
of women are. They're scared to lean into that to
talk about it, and you're not. One thing about you
that we've talked about in private is you know, even
just being topless or being able to express yourself. You
know a lot of people will say, oh, I went
to a new beach. Helen's not like that. She's like, no,
you need to embrace your sexuality. It's a beautiful thing.
(07:29):
Can you talk to us about your concept and your
thought process behind beauty and you know.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Basically sexualization. Well, my brand Pultra. Pultra means beautiful mind
and Latin and everything starts in the mind, So just
Stinny's for me, mind stimulation is what keeps me going
and alive.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's not everything's flatlined.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And I'm also very visual as well and tactile, So
I am Pultra is a very female driven driven line
and I sell intimate fineries, so it's anything in the intimate.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
World that is elevated. So if you can wrap.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Your mind around that, and and I truly you know
feeling sexy is something you know, all women should embrace
because we you know, it's it's having sex appeal, you know.
You know, in life we associate physical beauty with sex
(08:38):
appeal and just being sexy. But truly it starts in
the mind and it comes and it just comes out
of you.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So my brand evokes that and that's what I love
to share with.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Other women and loving your body. I hate handlines. Hence
that's why I love to go Toalmless and anyways, and
it just, you know, we are so taken back by nudity,
and I think because our society equates it with you know, pornography,
(09:11):
and they're in shame. And you know, when you're amongst
friends and you feel comfortable and you're it's it's an art,
not something that is you know, even if you're feeling sexy,
it's not something you should feel shameful of. And so
I do have the tendency amongst my friends. It's just
(09:33):
to you know, again, I do not I hate tamlines.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So I'll whip off the top.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
However, I do design bras and panties, but I do
love being out in the sun. And actually my true
vacation is and this is why I love boating and yachting.
It's just being in a bathing suit all day and
not having to think of about what you have to wear,
and just it's just true, you know, enjoying the environment,
(10:02):
food and your friends and not getting all like, yeah,
I know, thinking about oh what am I going to
wear to dinner tonight?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now, just stay in your bathing suit or take your
top off. Yeah, so I'm excited. So you're gonna do
this with me? Michelle? Okay, girl friend, I.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Can't even wait.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I don't even I'm like, what am I gonna wear?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What am I gonna do? With Helen?
Speaker 1 (10:24):

the launch.
Speaker 1 (10:28):

Speaker 3 (10:30):

Speaker 1 (12:38):
So, Helen, you know one thing I love about you
too is your food. I mean, we've been yachting before
together and your food is amazing. The way you present,
the way you put every single thought and kind action
into your food and your love. I love that. So
what makes you want to be a chef? And why
do you love the kitchen so much? So?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I love hostes sing and you know, when I host,
and I you know, my plan is and it works
all the time. I just have the music playing and
I have appetizers out, and I love my guests to
be a part of what I do in the kitchen,
So to bring them into the whole experience of the
of cooking is it just creates a nice organic environment
(13:22):
for my friends who know each other and my friends
who are new friending with my friends to get to
know each other. And it is actually more joy for me,
I think, is to watch somebody you know, enjoy and
embrace the environment and and.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Just you know, enjoying the food as well.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
And when they say it's just I'm like, oh my god,
that's the best compliment.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You know. I love that you feel that way because
you have your own children, right and you've you love
to feed them. You love to feed and care for
the people around you. And that's something like you know,
I know, traditional roles women can do it all. You know,
may not at the same time, but maybe at the
same time. You know, they can go to work, they
can own a big brand, they can be a female
entrepreneur and be a powerhouse and cook for their family
(14:11):
and I do think that I love this new day
and age, and I'm so here, so happy. I'm alive
for it, you know, absolutely, ash What do you think
about like when you get there, are you going to
be the housewife and the entrepreneur or what. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm tired already. I don't know how I'm gonna do
it in a few years.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I mean, I don't think I'm ready to get married
and have kids yet or anything, but like at some point,
but hopefully at that point, I'll be like doing social
media full time and then like have my own shower someone.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, I mean we got to get ash I think so.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, I stop, why that wad of all of them?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I actually so you know you and so we've been
talking about this matchmaking show. Yeah, so Ashley, I think
that props you're the first. Yes, I'm always going to
trust me.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
This will be an experience.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
All right, Helen, if you help her pick someone out,
maybe I'd give it one.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
But Helen, I'm all about two people with a pulse.
So if they have a pulse, they can make it work.
You know, they're of age.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
They thinks, she thinks, I think, but no, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I think that's what will be different about what Michelle
and I have planned is that we are vetting people.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yes, so you will know that, Ashley. If we have
a few men.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Which it'll the plan is is to have three to
four men, three to four women, and they're vetted, so
any of the four would be someone that would approve.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yes for you or for them to actually date you.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
All right, So we'll take like a little quiz before
you guys like picks.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh yeah, we have a whole form and oh.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You guys got this figured out?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
All right, all right, well fine, maybe maybe I'll do
episode one. We'll say you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Did a tarot card reader and they did say she's
finding her night in Shining Armor. Lookay, anyone who's single,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Not anyone who's single. That's her problem. It's not to
people with the balls.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You can't do it that way.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Just reach out if you're single and you want to mingle.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
We'll say, we'll say so this will This is the
thing is that I'm pretty sure you know Michelle and
I will know which one of the uh you know,
knights and Shining Armor who will be your prince and
we'll predict, right, you guys prediction and then we'll see
(16:38):
if it happens all right, how much we know we
picked the right guy for you.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And then you guys bring in the tarot card reader
and then she tells them what the actual outlook of
the relationship willbey.
Speaker 2 (16:50):

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So I just want to talk a little bit about
blow Deck in your past seasons. But before we get
into that, your line Pultra right, You've been doing a
lot with panties and you actually gifted me with a
pair of pearl panties. Those things are amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
How'd you come up with that idea?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Well, I have to tell you that I like things
that are timeless, and my mind just thinks in ways
of I like things that are multifunctional. You get a
bigger bang for your buck. And so the pearl panties
there there, it's a pair of thong panties. The thong
(03:27):
and this was actually on the market, but they were
fake pearls. So I took that concept and I made
the pearls detachable, and the pearls become a bracelet or
a necklace, and the lace is washable.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And so they're heirloom panties.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
That can be worn and seen as a as a
bracelet or a necklace.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And we actually have a little stimulation as well.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I have to say there's a little bit of stimulation
involved as well with the pols.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Quite nice.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yes, how did you come there's this idea? So again
with owning a laingerie store. They're Victoria's secret or somebody.
Actually they had a pair of pearl panties, but they
were not real. The pearls were not detachable. So that
was kind of a little bit of the inspell. I
don't really mimic any other designs that are out there,
(04:24):
but it was, you know, taking that basic concept and
making it something that lasts forever.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I love them. They're beautiful, thank you and timeless. And
I'll tell you if you have an opportunity to see them?
Where can people find them?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Helen?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Because so the pearl panties are available on my website
and the other right now they're available in my store
and they will still they will soon be launched on
TikTok shop, so starting May first.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Amazing, so exciting. And I will say, so, you are
the star below Deck and I just want to know,
like you've been on so many times. You even went
out once and didn't get on because of COVID, right,
someone had COVID in your group?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well, actually I was the one that was cast I
was the one that was diagnosed with COVID.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah. We we flew.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
To Genoa, had you know, Richard and all of my
friends guests, and the day before they had a nurse
come in and test everyone for COVID.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The morning of yeah, they told me, Helen, you have
COVID and I.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Was quarantined for five days. That was not bad though,
being in Genoa, Italy, I had to see that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'd rather be quarantine there that Yeah, it was, it was,
It was not that painful.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So what's new for below Deck?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Hunt?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
So well, I would love, love, love to invite you,
Michelle to come as my.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Guess are you kidding.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yes, yeah, I can't wait to watch.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yes, well, you know, just vacationing with you, and I
know you have a true appreciation for you and this
is an experience of a lifetime and so I would love, love,
love to have you come and drink some wine and
have some fun.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And I have to hear like everything about ash are
you gonna come?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well, I was just gonna say, like, are you gonna right?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
We'd love to have you as well as of course
I'll just do my own exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But that would be so fun. Oh my gosh, we
have to talk so much more about that. But I
would love to be a guest on below Deck. And uh,
you know you are one kick butt primary And the
one thing I love about you is you have no shame, right,
I know that, Like you're big into female empowerment and
it means something different to you too. Most women are
girls girls if they if they're on the female empowerment side,
(06:46):
they're cheering girls on. But you're more about the sultry
sexy part and you're not ashamed of it. And that's
why I love that you own a beauty brand and
you know a lingerie you own a lingerie brand that
makes women feel confident and sexy, and you're not scared
to be sexy and intimate, and that's important. A lot
(07:08):
of women are. They're scared to lean into that to
talk about it, and you're not. One thing about you
that we've talked about in private is you know, even
just being topless or being able to express yourself. You
know a lot of people will say, oh, I went
to a new beach. Helen's not like that. She's like, no,
you need to embrace your sexuality. It's a beautiful thing.
(07:29):
Can you talk to us about your concept and your
thought process behind beauty and you know.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Basically sexualization. Well, my brand Pultra. Pultra means beautiful mind
and Latin and everything starts in the mind, So just
Stinny's for me, mind stimulation is what keeps me going
and alive.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's not everything's flatlined.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And I'm also very visual as well and tactile, So
I am Pultra is a very female driven driven line
and I sell intimate fineries, so it's anything in the intimate.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
World that is elevated. So if you can wrap.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Your mind around that, and and I truly you know
feeling sexy is something you know, all women should embrace
because we you know, it's it's having sex appeal, you know.
You know, in life we associate physical beauty with sex
(08:38):
appeal and just being sexy. But truly it starts in
the mind and it comes and it just comes out
of you.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So my brand evokes that and that's what I love
to share with.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Other women and loving your body. I hate handlines. Hence
that's why I love to go Toalmless and anyways, and
it just, you know, we are so taken back by nudity,
and I think because our society equates it with you know, pornography,
(09:11):
and they're in shame. And you know, when you're amongst
friends and you feel comfortable and you're it's it's an art,
not something that is you know, even if you're feeling sexy,
it's not something you should feel shameful of. And so
I do have the tendency amongst my friends. It's just
(09:33):
to you know, again, I do not I hate tamlines.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So I'll whip off the top.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
However, I do design bras and panties, but I do
love being out in the sun. And actually my true
vacation is and this is why I love boating and yachting.
It's just being in a bathing suit all day and
not having to think of about what you have to wear,
and just it's just true, you know, enjoying the environment,
(10:02):
food and your friends and not getting all like, yeah,
I know, thinking about oh what am I going to
wear to dinner tonight?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now, just stay in your bathing suit or take your
top off. Yeah, so I'm excited. So you're gonna do
this with me? Michelle? Okay, girl friend, I.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Can't even wait.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I don't even I'm like, what am I gonna wear?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What am I gonna do? With Helen?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (10:25):

the launch.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Ride, all right, Helen's going topless?
Speaker 3 (10:30):

Speaker 1 (10:31):

Speaker 1 (12:38):
So, Helen, you know one thing I love about you
too is your food. I mean, we've been yachting before
together and your food is amazing. The way you present,
the way you put every single thought and kind action
into your food and your love. I love that. So
what makes you want to be a chef? And why
do you love the kitchen so much? So?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I love hostes sing and you know, when I host,
and I you know, my plan is and it works
all the time. I just have the music playing and
I have appetizers out, and I love my guests to
be a part of what I do in the kitchen,
So to bring them into the whole experience of the
of cooking is it just creates a nice organic environment
(13:22):
for my friends who know each other and my friends
who are new friending with my friends to get to
know each other. And it is actually more joy for me,
I think, is to watch somebody you know, enjoy and
embrace the environment and and.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Just you know, enjoying the food as well.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
And when they say it's just I'm like, oh my god,
that's the best compliment.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You know. I love that you feel that way because
you have your own children, right and you've you love
to feed them. You love to feed and care for
the people around you. And that's something like you know,
I know, traditional roles women can do it all. You know,
may not at the same time, but maybe at the
same time. You know, they can go to work, they
can own a big brand, they can be a female
entrepreneur and be a powerhouse and cook for their family
(14:11):
and I do think that I love this new day
and age, and I'm so here, so happy. I'm alive
for it, you know, absolutely, ash What do you think
about like when you get there, are you going to
be the housewife and the entrepreneur or what. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm tired already. I don't know how I'm gonna do
it in a few years.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I mean, I don't think I'm ready to get married
and have kids yet or anything, but like at some point,
but hopefully at that point, I'll be like doing social
media full time and then like have my own shower someone.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, I mean we got to get ash I think so.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, I stop, why that wad of all of them?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I actually so you know you and so we've been
talking about this matchmaking show. Yeah, so Ashley, I think
that props you're the first. Yes, I'm always going to
trust me.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
This will be an experience.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
All right, Helen, if you help her pick someone out,
maybe I'd give it one.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
But Helen, I'm all about two people with a pulse.
So if they have a pulse, they can make it work.
You know, they're of age.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
They thinks, she thinks, I think, but no, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I think that's what will be different about what Michelle
and I have planned is that we are vetting people.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yes, so you will know that, Ashley. If we have
a few men.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Which it'll the plan is is to have three to
four men, three to four women, and they're vetted, so
any of the four would be someone that would approve.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yes for you or for them to actually date you.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
All right, So we'll take like a little quiz before
you guys like picks.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh yeah, we have a whole form and oh.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You guys got this figured out?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
All right, all right, well fine, maybe maybe I'll do
episode one. We'll say you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Did a tarot card reader and they did say she's
finding her night in Shining Armor. Lookay, anyone who's single,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Not anyone who's single. That's her problem. It's not to
people with the balls.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You can't do it that way.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Just reach out if you're single and you want to mingle.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
We'll say, we'll say so this will This is the
thing is that I'm pretty sure you know Michelle and
I will know which one of the uh you know,
knights and Shining Armor who will be your prince and
we'll predict, right, you guys prediction and then we'll see
(16:38):
if it happens all right, how much we know we
picked the right guy for you.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And then you guys bring in the tarot card reader
and then she tells them what the actual outlook of
the relationship willbey.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
