She begins by explaining that she loves leggings and lists their benefits: "I don't care if you don't like leggings, don't judge me, they are comfortable. They don't cut into you, they're always the right length. You can dress them up, dress them down, you can look like a frat girl or you can look pretty classy in them depending on what you choose to pair with them."
But, she warns, there is a certain legging etiquette that is not being adhered to: "Some of you people like to use leggings as britches - as pants, pants," she says.
"That's not how they're supposed to be worn. If you can't wear a shirt that covers your tail so that I can't tell that you got some Aztec-print thongs on, you don't need to be wearing 'em [sic]," she says.
"If they're too tight that I can see you got a tattoo on your leg, they ain't to be worn period. That's called pantyhose, honey."
Randolph reaffirms anyone can wear leggings, "it don't matter how big you are, as long as you keep your tail end covered."
And she describes herself as "a big girl" with "thick legs", "a big ol' butt" and "a big ol' gut". But, she tells the camera, she knows how to "conceal it".
She suggests matching leggings with long shirts or a dress teamed with boots or flats and sums up her spiel with a reminder: "Nobody wants to see anything going up in any body part...it's awful...don't do it...you're welcome."
