My Photo
Name:
Location: New York, New York, United States

I moved to NYC to become a famous actress, and now I'm working the library. Life's funny that way. I like to bake, and I often stick my foot in my mouth, but I try not to do it at the same time.

Nylons


Did you know that nylons are named after New York & London (NY+LON)? The creators hoped their product would sell well in these two major cities.

This fun fact was brought to you by From Rags to Riches: A History of Girls' Clothing in America by Leslie Sills.
