(621 posts)We were not really a family who could afford college. I had a full scholarship with room and board. My mom mailed me $5 a week for incidentals. (This was the late 80s, so were talking deodorant, shampoo kind of money.) A lady who worked for Paul Mitchell (the hair product guy) was dropping her little girl off because another student was babysitting her for the day. I was walking up to the dorm, and she asked me if I would come to work with her in New York City. I thanked her but said I couldnt afford to get to the city. She paid my way. I worked for several hair product companies, a fingernail polish company, and as a cover girl for teen magazines. Only my family knows. I never wanted people to think that I thought I was all that. It just fell into my lap. I looked like the girl next door California blonde, and that was the look at that time (even though Im a Jersey girl!)
