Sorry for the double post. I was bored this week so I decided to archive and transcribe a hist-Laur-ical document. This is from a podcast she did in 2012 for an antiques website where she talks about her "career" selling antiques to movie studios.
It's hard to tell what's the truth and what's a lie, but even with my limited knowledge of the movie industry I would say it's 95% exaggeration/straight up lies. She brags about how she works with multiple high-end celebrity clients after meeting them on set (yes, apparently she works on-set even though she makes it clear that she just sells stuff to the propmaster? So weird.) Celebrities loooooove getting Laur to design their houses/gardens (with...antiques? Or is she an interior designer now?) because she's the most tight-lipped confidential person ever and that's why she can't tell us all the celebrities she's BFFs with.
I can't tell if the interviewer actually buys what she's saying or not, but there's a few times he tries to poke holes in her stories.
Lillee-related things we learned:
Laur-related things we learned which are probably all lies:

Lillee-related things we learned:
1. Laur got into selling used shit after Lillee was born and she didn't want to throw away her nice clothes. Instead of donating them to Goodwill or something like a normal person, she decided to start a shop to sell used clothing. But then, her very very good friend who is also a lawyer told her that she has to stop selling used clothes because the clothing brands will sue them? So then she started selling memorabilia instead because she didn't want to get sued. Also she claims she got into antiques 15 years ago, but Lillee was only 11 at the time, so who knows.
2. Lillee constantly tells Laur to put down her Blackberry and pay attention to her. Laur doesn't because she's talking to high-end celebrities 24/7.
Laur-related things we learned which are probably all lies:
1. A very very famous person who she can't name (because she's super confidential) once asked her to get her an electric chair for their house but Laur said no because she has morals.
2. She got Johnny Depp to sign a cigarette box for her when she "worked on" Public Enemies.
3. She does 20+ movies a year and has zero competition (though she only actually names a couple of them and brags about the same movies over and over)
4. For Sucker Punch they demanded authentic burlesque costumes from the 20th century. Wardrobe department? What's that? Anyway, Laur saved the day because she found the dresses and hooker shoes that were worn by a REAL LIVE PROSTITUTE in a "bordello".

I don't talk about people, I don't put their information out there, you know, it's a very confidential relationship and it's not something that I would broadcast, telling somebody, you know, "I did so-and-so's house" because, you know, I want to get other work and it's really referral, word-of-mouth...I don't want to, you know, be that person who, you know, gives away the address or gives away secrets. It's not appropriate and it's because the [difference both in reputation?] in the industry of people trusting me and that's what it comes down to. It's a matter of trust.
