But nobody cared about taking their clothes off at that point anyway. It wasn't a time for being a prude or shy. So it did really well. And... Then I started making some things because I had ideas that I didn't see anywhere that I thought would be really good. And those things started to get press.

Coincidentally, there were some editors that happened to live on 53rd Street who would come down into my little basement hall and just really give me lots of press. I mean, I had two full pages, one in Vogue and one in Harper's Bazaar in the first six months that I was in business. I mean, which is unheard of. And so there was a picture of me and Eddie in Time Magazine wearing snakeskin.

And this buzzer went off at the airline. This is a big room where everybody's sitting with things on. And if you did something wrong on a call, a buzzer and a red light would go on and you'd have to go up to the front. And so all of a sudden this buzzer and a red light is going and they call out my name. I thought, I'm doing a good job. What's the problem here?

And so they had the magazine and they called me into this room and they said, what is this? And I said, oh, oh, that. And they said, We can't have this. You can't be doing this. You have to make a choice. And I said, I understand and I fully respect your wishes, but I think I'm fully engaged in this and it would be hard for me to give it up. And so I had to leave.

Of course, it was a different time. But it was $80 a week. But the benefit was the travel. But at this point, I had already hired some people to help me make the clothes. We had already progressed to having a sample room. And so the truth is, it was time. It really was time. And I was not wanting to give up the travel, to be honest. But I was working till 2 and 3 in the morning to do both jobs.

So it was definitely a lot of hours. It was a gift. It was a lot of hours. But I am forever grateful to the experience, the UNIVAC computer, the lessons I learned about service. The teaching and the training at airlines even today is extraordinary. And then it was beyond extraordinary. I learned a lot about how to run an office, which I never would have known.

I learned so much from that experience. And most people would say, well, if you're an artist, that's not what I'm going to do. I'm not going to sit in an office. That four years was a school. That was another college for me of learning about business, learning about technology, and learning about travel. Not only did I go to London, but I would go to Paris. There was a Trident plane.

The Tridents used to go up and then down. And you could go from London to Paris in a short time. So I would shop in Paris as well. And then I met people there and I would go to clubs in Paris and then go back to London and go back home. And then I traveled. I went to Iran. I went to Greece. I went all over Europe traveling.

So it really was a very fruitful four years and very well worth the time and my age and the experience.
