I jog at the Rose Bowl, and I collect antique and vintage furniture, so I'm there every few weeks for the flea market.

I have lots of vintage clothes.

My first collection was made from sheets that my grandmother, who lived in Normandy, had been collecting for a long time. There are a lot of flea markets in that part of France, and she knew what I liked.

I love vintage shopping in flea markets, vintage stores and even Ebay.

I started dressing vintage when I was a teenager because I didn't have money for designer clothes.

I love Austin for vintage shopping, and there are some really good places in L.A., too.

I used to spend my nights oversewing dresses for a local dressmaker in order to pay for my school equipment.

Time flies so quick. I remember my second year in business when Bullocks Wilshire did a whole window of my white dresses. I was so excited, I went there at night and took pictures.

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

I'm pretty much a thrift shop gal. Flea markets on Sundays.
