The fact is: It's true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

I've met so many people in person who watch my videos, and the best thing I hear is when they say, 'I love you just for being you.'

Often when I meet people and say I'm a designer, they say, 'Oh, a fashion designer.' Which is not a bad thing I suppose, a bit groovy.
