I've always leaned toward a feminine, funky style, even in business settings. I used to paint my nails blue in 1993, before it was mainstream.

Failure to me became not trying versus not succeeding

I think very early on in life we all learn what we're good at and what we're not good at, and we stay where it's safe.

I shopped for body shapers for the first time in my life and I was horrified. They were thick - it was like wearing workout clothes and they all had a leg band on one side that showed through the pants.

If we can put a man on the moon, we can make pantyhose comfortable.
