I tried acting and all of the arts, I even put out a record album, but what I like the most is business, which is where I am now. KW: Irene was also wondering whether your daughter is working with you on one or all of your many endeavors. I saw the two of you together in the documentary America the Beautiful: The Thin Commandments. BJ: I never got a chance to see it. KW: Have Darryl [director Darryl Roberts] send you a copy. It’s a great expose. BJ: Good idea. I talk to him all the time. My daughter has fulfilled all of my dreams, because she has a BA and MBA in business. She’s both a financial analyst and a plus-size model. She has the best of both worlds because, in model- ing, you have to have something to fall back on. KW: Finally, Irene asks: What is your secret to succeed- ing for so long in the competitive world of fashion? BJ: 95 percent of being a success is just showing up on time and being there. I don’t know how I knew that when I was younger. You have to stick around for people to remem- ber you.
