Anybody whos been to a New York Liberty game knowsEllie the Elephant.
But Ellie wants you to know that she doesnt get this way all by herself.
The fashion-forward mascot has a host of bags to choose from.

It really comes down to the outfit and how I feel.
So whats in Ellie the Elephants rotation these days?
I have around 20 of my own bagsincluding Off-White, Telfar, Hello Ditto, and Karrica.
I love to switch it up!
But the bag isnt just for show.
While Ellie uses it to collect fan art and gifts, shes also a pragmatist.
Ive learned to stay ready and keep an extra pair on me at all times, she says.
But for the anthropomorphic elephant, its all about keeping a routine.
I arrive early to Barclays Center to give myself plenty of time to rehearse and warm up.
I want to ensure my halftime performance is what the crowd needs!
I also must get my playlist ready, so I can help set the vibe in the arena.
First and most importantly I have to choose my bag!
It was a tough decision!
Many people probably dont know this but I rock a new braid each game!
My aunties spend about half an hour before every game styling my hair so that Im performance-ready.
I whip that braid around a lot so it has to be tight and secure.
Next up is to decide what my fit is going to be for the game.
Its a team effort!
Here again with my team (or my aunties as I like to call them!
), helping put the finishing touches on my fit and helping me accessorize.
I show up every game serving looks.
