I like to feature a couple of local designers because I want to show Pittsburgh women there are designers right under their nose.

I believe sometimes you do. I think that you're given the opportunity and that it's taken away from you if you don't perform well.

I pride myself on carrying lines that aren't anywhere else.

This whole state is hurting right now. I know times are hard. I understand people are angry with Benson and don't want to give him their hard-earned money. But in the long term, what that team means to this state ... it's a great benefit in the long term. We need to keep them here.

You have to feel comfortable where you're working out to stick with it. Other women that are working out at Curves are dealing with the same issues, so we can help each other get through it and encourage each other to keep going.

I worked out at the YMCA some, I just like the atmosphere at Curves better. At Curves it's all women and I like that a lot.
