Not that I EVER stay home alone on a Saturday night renting movies and overindulging on high-calorie take out – but if I WERE to do that, I’d be wearing this comfy, mushy lightweight sweatshirt with super-long sleeves. IF I were to do that. 50% cotton, 38% poly and 12% something else. Oh, rayon.

I went to U.T. and got a B.S. in advertising, then shipped myself out to New York City (expensive, gleaming portfolio in hand) and became a professional cocktail waitress, eventually working my way up to weekend bartender. After five years I moved to Los Angeles to work in Hollywood and got my first job with David E. Kelley Productions on the hit T.V. series, Ally McBeal.
Meanwhile, I had always coveted my Dad’s old white v-necks. The problem is if I had worn them in public, people would have offered me spare change to go buy a fresh one. They weren’t pretty, but they were comfy, darn it. So I decided to recreate one without the unsightly paint stains and yellow-ish tint. I came up with the perfect vintage white v-neck t-shirt for women. And people wore it.
I held two jobs as long as I could and eventually Nation Ltd. became so big that I had to leave "the biz," an industry in which I had spent nine wonderful years.
I never did wear the space suit like Dad wanted... But I’m still reaching for the stars.
