Thank you for your activism and your voice! It's so important that we all do our part to keep our country safe from a dictator. Came for the jeans, stayed for the activism :)

Thanks for the info on the zoom. I am very shy and hate to talk on the phone but I've got to do something. I'll try to join. Also, what a great idea for an occasional newsletter!

The first call is the scariest – I was so nervous, too – but once you get going it's easy. Most people are nice. Or they hang up and you move on.

Did my phone banking yesterday!

Does the book rec glorify Les Wexner?

It’s a well-reported account of his work, the good and not so good.

Amazing – thank you for your efforts Jeannie! I hope it was a good experience for you. The book is an accurate account of Wexner's work and includes the good and the bad. I should have mentioned the book's subtitle (I've just added it to the post): Selling Sexy: Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American Icon.

Sadly, I'm late to getting to this newsletter :(.

Thank you for introducing me to Jesse Kamm - her 225s and her California Wides are perfect. Even as a non-jean person (ha!), I must try them.
