modeling originally was to help out my family, because I
knew that money gave you freedom. 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.
