A 100-second reality TV show trailer screened during the party highlights what real life looks like for each of the socialites. Producer Kiiz and Director Gad worked on the reality TV show project.
"People like to ask us things like ‘what do you guys do for a living?’. Do they do music? Do they dance? That is exactly what this reality show is all about. We are just here to entertain you and we appreciate the way people welcomed us since this group came about,” she added.
