List three awesome things you did at work in the past year.
I created my own happiness! I found my passion outside of the bedroom! I met former super model Tatiana Sorokko (run to the Phoenix Art Museum and see her collection on exhibit) and Mr. Galanos, my favorite all-time Hollywood Designer (the rest of them are dead).

Name a job you’d quit this one for.
My own fashion television show…(maybe my next creation).

How do we get your job?
Shop in my store…the more you buy, the more I make so I can hire more staff!!!!!
