Jerrika Karlae arrived at The FADER's office on Thursday morning as her husband-to-be, Young Thug, was catching up on his beauty rest in their hotel room. On her shoulder hung an opalescent Chanel purse packed with only the essentials: her fave Teese lip gloss (Dita Von Tesse) and setting powder (Laura Mercier), a well worn passport, and a tooth brush to tame unruly baby hairs. The bag, she went on to explain, is a make up bag, gifted to her by Thug after a recent lovers tiff.
