I have a very haute couture way of working.

I worked in a boutique after work, my second job, selling women's clothes. And that was a way of not just making money but meeting women. That was very exciting job. I loved that job.

I know people like to work for me, and quite a few have gotten rich working for me.

I get paid very well and am happy with what I make, but I'm not in the super-rich bracket. I shop in a supermarket like everyone else.

You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.

I shop at thrift stores and consignment shoppes. I wear my clothes as is, and maybe get them dry cleaned whenever possible.

My first job was working in a dress shop in Los Angeles in 1940, for $7 a week.

My customers are successful workingwomen.
