From reissues of iconic toys to the resurgence of our favorite middle school brands, there is nostalgia for sale all around us.  In this episode, Amanda unpacks why nostalgia is a powerful (and easy) way to sell us lots of stuff that we probably don't really need.  Topics in this episode includeWhy do we love nostalgia so much? And what is it?Why does it seem like there is so much nostalgic stuff to buy everywhere we go?Is nostalgia good for us?How can we experience nostalgia without buying something?What are "zombie brands?"Along the way, we'll talk about 50s diners, that viral Esprit sweatshirt (and the true story of Esprit), whimsy-maxxing, and more!Additional reading:Speaking of Psychology: Does nostalgia have a psychological purpose?

Today we're chatting with Ivana Perbi, founder of Wardrobe Affaire, the world's first discovery platform dedicated to pre-loved fashion events, which is on a mission to help secondhand event organizers seamlessly host fashion experiences and help shoppers discover them – all over the world. Ivana grew up in southern Germany, where secondhand wasn't a trend but simply how her family shopped, and where weekends at the flea market where her mother sold clothes shaped her eye for style. After a decade working inside luxury fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, a research trip back to her birthplace of Accra, Ghana — and a visit to the sprawling Kantamanto secondhand market — changed everything for her. Ivana left the corporate world, retrained as a UX designer, and launched a fashion rental platform in Berlin.  But after three years of testing, and some incredibly successful event pop-ups, she recognized a much bigger opportunity and pivoted Wardrobe Affaire into what it is today: a platform built to solve the real logistical headaches of hosting and discovering pre-loved fashion events. We're getting into it all — the pivot from rental to events, and her favorite vintage finds, including the vintage Chanel she found for a steal at a Berlin flea market!  Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [02:54] Ivana loved style and collecting fashion magazines growing up [07:04] When sustainability in fashion started to connect with her personal values  [08:20] Learning about Ghana's Kantamanto Market and the scale of secondhand clothing waste  [11:07] Ways to keep clothing in circularity — repair, swapping, and rental  [13:29] What she learned about repair and craftsmanship working at Louis Vuitton and Chanel  [15:23] The origin story of her first fashion rental platform  [16:18] Convincing lenders, consumers, and investors to embrace rental in Germany  [18:08] What she learned about the "attitude-behavior gap" in sustainable fashion [20:52] Deciding to pivot from rental into secondhand events [23:42] The gaps she was trying to fill in the pre-loved events space, including event discovery  [27:47] What's keeping would-be shoppers on the sidelines from attending events  [31:27] Why curation of vendors is everything at a vintage shopping event  [36:03] What the pivot required of her personally as a founder  [38:26] Her personal style and vintage collection  EPISODE MENTIONS:  Wardrobe Affaire @wardrobeaffaire By Rotation HURR Sami Miro Vintage Pre-Loved's original research on secondhand events LET'S CONNECT: 

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you leave behind the familiarity of home and step into a completely different world to build the life you envision?In this thought-provoking episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Omowumi, a Nigerian-born fashion designer and entrepreneur whose journey from system engineering to fashion design is a powerful story of courage, passion, faith, adaptation, and self-discovery.Having met through Afrofest, Lira and Omowumi explore what it means to build a new life and business far from home. Omowumi shares how her passion for fashion eventually led her to leave the path of system engineering and pursue entrepreneurship, recognizing both the creative fulfillment and potential for growth that came with following what she truly loved.But pursuing a dream in America as an African immigrant comes with its own set of challenges. Omowumi reflects on the difficulty of building a business without the ready-made community and support system she was accustomed to in Nigeria. In a place where an entrepreneur may have to become the designer, marketer, salesperson, strategist, and administrator all at once, building a sustainable business requires more than talent. It requires resilience, faith, flexibility, and the willingness to keep learning.The conversation also explores the realities of bringing Nigerian fashion and culture into the American market. Designs that work beautifully in Nigeria may need to be reconsidered when introduced to customers living in different climates, cultures, and lifestyles. For Omowumi, that has meant creating clothing that remains distinctly Nigerian while also being modern, versatile, practical, and adaptable enough for different occasions.At the heart of her brand is a desire to tell a different story about Nigeria and Nigerian culture—one that celebrates its vibrancy, creativity, beauty, and possibility. Rather than simply creating clothes, she is building a brand that allows people to experience and recognize Nigerian identity through fashion.Omowumi also opens up about the importance of customer feedback in growing a creative business. Instead of becoming overly attached to a particular design or idea, she listens to her customers, studies their responses, and uses that information to refine her work. Having control over her production process gives her the ability to respond quickly to changing preferences and create pieces that feel both distinctive and desirable.Beyond fashion and entrepreneurship, the conversation takes a deeper turn into faith and self-reflection. Omowumi speaks about the importance of believing in something greater than yourself and relying on faith for guidance, especially during seasons when the path ahead is uncertain.She also shares valuable lessons about building a business intentionally: creating effective systems, knowing when to pivot, listening to the market, and understanding that the early stages of entrepreneurship may require significant financial reinvestment rather than immediate personal reward.And then comes another deeply personal dimension of the conversation: marriage and self-awareness.Marriage, Omowumi explains, has challenged her to look inward—to recognize that living with another person requires flexibility, adjustment, patience, and a willingness to examine your own behavior. The differences between how marriage is perceived in Nigeria and in the United States also open up a fascinating discussion about commitment, permanence, effort, and the expectations we carry from our cultures.Ultimately, this episode is about much more than fashion.It is about what happens when you leave home, rebuild your support system, pursue a dream, encounter resistance, and are forced to discover who you really are along the way.It is about the courage to pivot.The humility to listen.The faith to keep going.And the self-awareness to recognize that sometimes, the greatest business we're building is the person we're becoming.Join Lira and Omowumi for an honest and inspiring conversation about immigration, African identity, entrepreneurship, fashion, faith, marriage, resilience, and the transformative power of self-reflection.

In this video, I break down how to start and grow a successful clothing brand using Optimal Distinctiveness Theory and Simmel's Fashion Paradox. You'll learn why customers want clothing that feels unique but still familiar, how fashion trends spread, why brands copy one another, and how the right balance between originality and imitation can make your brand stand out without becoming unrelatable.After 10 years of running clothing brands, generating over $1 million in sales, and helping more than 500 brand owners, I'll show you how to apply this concept to your clothing designs, social media content, branding, and marketing strategy. If you're starting a clothing brand, building a streetwear brand, or struggling to differentiate yourself in a crowded market, this video will help you create a brand that feels recognizable, distinctive, and worth buying from. 

Emma Grede is the businesswoman behind major fashion brands including Skims and Good American, which she co-founded with Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian, respectively. Last year Forbes included her on their list of America's Richest Self-Made Women, with an estimated net worth of $405 million.She grew up in Plaistow, East London, the eldest of four daughters. Her parents separated when she was five and she was raised by her mum, who worked long hours as a trader at an investment bank. Emma took on a lot of the responsibility at home caring for her sisters. Dyslexia meant she struggled at school, but she found satisfaction in a string of part-time jobs, from delivering newspapers to making sandwiches in a deli. She later dropped out of the London College of Fashion to pursue a career in the industry, and by her mid-twenties she had founded her first company. She made her name brokering deals between celebrities and brands that included signing Natalie Portman as the face of Dior. In 2016 she founded an inclusive denim brand called Good American with Khloé Kardashian, and in 2019 she launched the shapewear brand Skims with Kim Kardashian. Lately her success has led her out of the boardroom and into the spotlight with guest appearances on Dragon's Den, and the US equivalent Shark Tank, as well as launching a podcast and writing a memoir. Emma lives in Los Angeles with her husband and business partner Jens, and they have four children.Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Hannah Hufford and Christine PawlowskyDesert Island Discs has cast away many fashion leaders to the island over the years including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith.

Fashion designer Sylvie Cachay checked into Manhattan's Soho House with her boyfriend, Nicholas Brooks, in December 2010. Hours later, water leaking from Room 20 prompted hotel staff to enter the room, beginning an investigation that would focus closely on what happened during the early hours of that morning. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine Sylvie's life and career, her relationship with Brooks, the events that brought them to Soho House, and the surveillance footage that allowed investigators to reconstruct a crucial timeline inside and outside Room 20. We also look at the forensic evidence presented at trial, Brooks' account of what happened that night, the arguments made by his defence, and the case that ultimately resulted in his conviction and a sentence of 25 years to life.

“My lens around style doesn't have anything to do with style anymore — it's about physicality,” says stylist and fashion consultant Stacy London. “What do I want to be able to do? How do I keep myself strong?” Stacy's message has resonated for many women, and for this episode, she joins Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, host of TED Health, at TED2025 for a special live conversation about why women are so embarrassed to talk about aging. For Stacy, aging became a chance to reassess her relationship to her body, and her experience with menopause and spinal surgery shifted her focus to health and wellbeing. Her best advice on what you can do to feel good in your skin? Throw away the most painful pair of shoes you own. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So many women's clothing companies are all about fast fashion: trendy products that are made to sell, but not to last. Today, we're talking to the founder of an apparel company that's focused on making quality clothes that feel good to wear, and live in your closet long-term. Ramy Brook Sharp is the Founder, Co-CEO and Creative Director of the women's clothing brand, Ramy Brook. In 2010, Ramy set out to create the perfect timeless top to complement her jeans and jewelry. Unable to find what she wanted, she designed it herself, and within six months, her pieces were picked up by Bergdorf Goodman. Ramy Brook is now available in over 250 boutiques, at major retailers like Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's, and the company has a flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City. Today, Ramy walks us through the incredible origins of the brand, how she's had to adapt the business to meet the demands of major retailers and social media platforms, and what we can expect to see from Ramy Brook in the coming years. Highlights:From Advertising to Fashion (2:25)The $1,000 Top That Started It All (4:00)Getting Into Bergdorf and Learning Fast (6:50)Sexy, Sophisticated, Timeless (11:00)Building a Multi-Generational Brand (12:55)From Tops to Head-to-Toe (14:10)Marketing in a Crowded Space (16:10)E-Commerce and the Omnichannel Mix (18:00)Leading People Through Change (21:10)What's Next for Ramy Brook (25:25)Links:Ramy Brook Sharp LinkedInRamy Brook LinkedInRamy Brook WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co

Karol Markowicz sits down with Zachary Kussin, real estate editor at the New York Post, for a wide-ranging conversation about journalism, New York City real estate, personal style, resilience, and the value of embracing who you really are. Kussin shares the unlikely story of how a Craigslist job posting helped launch his journalism career, eventually leading him from The Real Deal to the New York Post. He explains what makes real estate reporting such a unique beat and how years of hard work, unexpected opportunities, and a little luck shaped his career. The conversation also turns personal as Kussin recounts losing nearly everything when a seven-alarm fire tore through his New York City apartment building. The experience gave him an opportunity to rebuild—not just his home, but a space that genuinely reflected his personality, travels, and lifelong love of antiques, vintage jewelry, fashion, and design. Karol and Zachary discuss growing more confident with age, finding your people, developing meaningful relationships, pursuing unconventional passions, and refusing to change yourself simply to fit other people's expectations. Kussin also shares his philosophy for living a happier life: embrace adventure, pursue what genuinely interests you, take chances even when you don't know the outcome, and have the confidence to be yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If clothes are your biggest spending weakness, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Hannah Blass, founder of The Style Audit, to talk about how our love of clothes can cross the line from something we genuinely enjoy into something that consumes our money, time, energy, and mental space. Hannah knows this firsthand. After years of compulsively shopping for clothes, overspending every month, and repeatedly running up a credit card balance despite earning six figures, she realized that making more money wasn't going to solve the problem. She had to change her relationship with shopping. And the answer wasn't giving up fashion, becoming a minimalist, or never shopping again. In this episode, we talk about: Why clothes can be such an emotionally charged category of spending How to love fashion without constantly needing something new Hannah's 3 C's of intentional shopping: calm, considered, and compatible Why no-buys often backfire—and how to do one in a way that creates lasting change The simple 5-minute pause that can help interrupt an impulse purchase How social media and "girl math" culture normalize compulsive shopping Why being able to afford your shopping doesn't necessarily mean your relationship with it is healthy How to know when your wardrobe is finally "enough" Why your closet should contain clothes for your real life—not the fantasy version of yourself The problem with calling expensive clothes "investment pieces" How to build a wardrobe you actually love wearing Hannah also shares the freedom she found on the other side of compulsive shopping: fewer packages, fewer returns, less time thinking about clothes, and—ironically—more enjoyment from the things she does choose to buy. If you've ever looked at a closet full of clothes and still thought, I have nothing to wear or I just need one more thing, this conversation will help you rethink what it actually means to have enough.

Janet Caperna is back in The Haute Seat, and nothing is off-limits as we strip down Bravo's hottest headlines, red-carpet fashion and some truly jaw-dropping reality-TV history. We kick off with Haute Topics and Janet's take on breaking the fourth wall. She explains why reality TV sometimes has to acknowledge fame, production and the comment section for the story to make sense—and gets candid about the dark side of being on television. After her first season, Janet says online hate crossed a terrifying line with death threats and racial slurs aimed at her husband and son. Then came the headline claiming the family had “fled to Switzerland,” when they were actually on a planned vacation in gorgeous Lake Lugano. Janet also spills on The Valley cast group chat, a recent star-packed dinner with Shannon Beador, Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent and Michelle Saniei, and why she thinks Bravo spin-offs and “Next Gen” shows can absolutely work. Next, Runway Rundown gets fashionable and feisty. We weigh in on Kristen Doute's bump-baring maternity look, debate Pamela Anderson's makeup-free red-carpet era, and revisit Scheana Shay's wedding gown—including Janet's firsthand memories as a bridesmaid and Pol's behind-the-scenes styling details. Then Janet faces her own reunion fashion: the backless look she wore after losing 70 pounds of baby weight, the Rachel Zoe/vintage Gucci comparison, and the secret to dressing for a reunion where you may be sitting on a couch for12-plus hours. She even teases her newest reunion look: a primary color, tasteful peekaboo skin and borrowed diamonds. The conversation gets even hotter when Janet talks marriage, why an open relationship would never work for her, and delivers one of the episode's wildest lines about Jason. Then it's Game Time: “Bravo's Biggest Capers,” where scams, scandals and reality-TV chaos collide. We quiz Janet on the White House crash heard around Bravo, Teresa Giudice's prison sentence, Scandoval, Anna Delvey and Ariana Maddox. But the biggest caper may be Janet's own story: she reveals she once partied with Elizabeth Holmes shortly before Holmes went to prison. What began with a mysterious “Lizzie” FaceTime at Sundance turned into a surreal night at a San Francisco jazz bar—and Janet says Holmes got “hammered.” That confession sends us straight into our own Anna Nicole Smith memories and the glory days of truly unfiltered reality television. Fashion, Bravo gossip, scandal, diamonds, death threats, Scandoval and Elizabeth Holmes at a jazz bar—Janet Caperna's Haute Seat is officially scorching.

What if true skincare “anti-aging” happens deep below the surface? This week we're exploring everything to do with what we're dubbing “cell care” — the shift toward cellular longevity, skin health span and managing aging cells. Joined by Dr. Alessandra Zonari, chief scientific officer at OneSkin, we're breaking down DNA repair, senescent “zombie" cells, red light therapy, exosomes vs. peptides and why skin collagen is like gluten in bread. This conversation is brought to you in part by OneSkin. In this episode we cover:Genetics vs. habits: Why science shows that only 10 to 25 per cent of skin aging is genetic, leaving up to 90 per cent in your hands.Quiet saboteurs: The everyday habits—like cutting sleep repair windows short and switching products too fast—that sabotage long-term skin health span.DNA clocking: Surface skin scanners like VISIA don't tell the whole story; meet MolClock, with an algorithm that reads your DNA to reveal true cellular age.Is “collagen banking” legit? Why (contrary to TikTok belief) you cannot stock up on collagen inside your skin, and what to focus on if you really want to protect your collagen for longer.Is red light therapy worth it? The cell biologist weighs in.UV radiation and tanning: What sun damage looks like under a cell biologist's microscope, and how UV rays accelerate dreaded “zombie” cells.Exosomes vs. peptides: Dr. Zonari breaks down the difference between targeted, single-message peptides and the complex delivery systems of topical exosomes.Sneak peek: Coming in September, hear the scoop on OneSkin's next innovation, a new, richer version of its iconic Face Moisturizer, two years in development..PROMO CODES: When you support our sponsors, you support the creation of Breaking Beauty Podcast!

a16z General Partner David George is joined by Grant LaFontaine, co-founder of Whatnot, to unpack how a marketplace that started with collectibles evolved into one of the world's leading live shopping platforms. Grant traces the company's origins from selling Pokémon cards online as a kid to discovering live commerce by watching Whatnot's earliest customers hack together sales on social media. They discuss why Whatnot thinks less like a traditional e-commerce marketplace and more like a digital shopping mall, where discovery, entertainment, community, and commerce all happen at once. Today, users spend roughly 95 minutes a day on the platform, and most aren't even buying something on a given day. They also explore how Whatnot is enabling small businesses to reach global audiences, expanding from collectibles into categories like fashion, food, and golf, and using AI to make sellers more efficient without replacing the human connection at the center of the experience.   Resources: Follow Grant LaFontaine on X: https://x.com/GrantLaFontaine Follow David George on X: https://x.com/DavidGeorge83 Follow Whatnot on X: https://x.com/whatnot Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

On today's solo episode, I'm sharing my positive birth story and taking you through my journey. I dive into how I prepared for labor, why I chose to keep an open mind rather than create a strict birth plan, and the role my doula, midwife, and birth team played throughout the process. I also share what labor actually felt like, how quickly everything progressed, what helped me get through the most intense moments, and the moment I finally met my baby girl, Reign. We also talk about the mindset shift that helped me approach pregnancy and birth with more confidence, why surrounding yourself with positive stories can make such a difference, and the lessons I learned about trusting your body, letting go of control, and expecting good things. If you're pregnant, preparing for birth, or simply curious about what my experience was like, this episode is for you.

This week, Alexi is joined by music critic and columnist Ella Dorn to unpack her viral essay declaring Giallobrutalism as the defining visual language of mid-2020s pop, informed by the stylish delirium of Italian giallo cinema and a pervasive unease about surveillance and stardom. We discuss the aesthetic's formal signatures—cool temperatures, split diopters, painterly tableaux, and more— as well as the rise of early-onset popstar histrionics, the existential glamour of centripetal girls in centrifugal settings, and the decade's watershed fashion moments so far, from Miu Miu micro-minis to Sandy Liang mega-bows. We also challenge the default Y2K reading of modern pop aesthetics, arguing for a closer look at their 20th-century antecedents, and reflect on our shared past as stans of doomed K-pop girl groups.

The revelation that a paedophile had changed his name more than 20 times to hide his past has renewed pressure on the government to change the law. Jason Brown was first convicted 12 years ago. He has now pleaded guilty to a further offence. There's been campaigning for many years for it to be illegal for sex offenders to change their name, as many use their new identities to avoid being monitored. The Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion is one of those calling for this legal change and she tells Nuala why.Millions of Filipinos work overseas to help raise money for their families back home. And of these millions more than half are women. Here in the UK tens of thousands of Filipinos work in the NHS, they are one of the most common non-UK nationalities for nurses and health visitors in our health system. But what is life like for those who are left behind? Poet and nurse Romalyn Ante's debut novel, the Left Behind Child, explores the teenage years of Neneng, who is eleven when her mother, Rosa, leaves to work as a nurse abroad. Romalyn tells Nuala McGovern how her true story of being a ‘left behind child' influenced her writing. The parents of 30 children have told the BBC they fear they were given the wrong sperm or egg donors, during IVF treatments, in northern Cyprus. Fertility clinics in the Turkish-occupied territory are loosely regulated and are popular with British people who need medical help to have a baby. A small team of journalists first exposed this IVF scandal earlier this year - which led to many more people coming forwards. The BBC has now found the majority of cases are linked to one clinic and a small group of staff. Nuala hears from one of those families, a woman called Rachel, who was given the wrong sperm donor. She is joined by Investigative Journalist Anna Collinson and fertility lawyer, Natalie Gamble. From Dua Lipa to Zendaya, the bandana is the 90's accessory that's making a come back. In the heatwaves it has proved practical as well as stylish. But the simple square or triangle of fabric with the paisley design has a history with a range of meanings and cultural references, from workwear and protest movements to fashion and self-expression. Amber Butchart, Fashion & textile historian, and the author and broadcaster Emma Dabiri discuss the history behind the comeback. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

Join our mastermind community: https://www.skool.com/apparel-success-mastermindTry the best Ai design platform: https://www.design.com/rob88Starting a clothing brand has never been easier and that's exactly why the clothing brand industry has become brutally competitive. In this video, I break down why so many new streetwear brands, fashion brands, lifestyle brands, and print-on-demand businesses are entering the market, why most struggle to get customers, and why the barrier to starting a clothing brand is completely different from the barrier to building a successful clothing brand. We dive into aspirational oversupply, excess entry, monopolistic competition, the Pareto Principle, power law distribution, brand differentiation, social media marketing, customer attention, emotional attachment, cultural relevance, and why simply making good clothing is no longer enough to grow a clothing brand in 2026.If you're trying to figure out how to start a clothing brand, how to grow a streetwear brand, how to market a clothing brand, how to get your first customers, or why your clothing brand isn't growing, this video explains the economics and psychology working against new brands and how to use them to your advantage. I break down cumulative advantage, the Matthew Effect, positive feedback loops, social proof, brand awareness, customer acquisition, organic marketing, Instagram and TikTok growth, clothing brand strategy, entrepreneurship, ecommerce, Shopify, print on demand, and the “liability of newness” that makes the first few years of building a brand so difficult. Understanding these principles can help you stop competing like every other startup clothing brand and start building the attention, reputation, differentiation, customers, and momentum required to actually succeed.

Can fashion help bring people together as well as set trends and mould culture worldwide? Fashion designer and environmentalist Runa Ray believes it can. Her exhibition Repurposing Fashion: Reimagining Peace, now open at UN Headquarters in New York, transforms discarded textiles into works of art carrying messages of peace from 30 countries. Speaking to UN News' Cristina Silveiro, she explains why she believes "fashion has a greater purpose" than glamour alone

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS on PATREON: Buy discount Tickets to DopeyCon only n Patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary On this Dopey Greatest Hits, Dave brings back one of the wildest and most cinematic stories in the show's history: Louie Mandrapilias, author of Flew Too High. First, Dave gives a DopeyCon update and plays a voicemail from Hannah, who manipulated her dog's medical records to build a second Xanax prescription in her pet's name. What began with six bars for an anxious dog eventually became regular prescriptions that Hannah took for herself—until her veterinarian offered to double the dosage and Hannah realized how far the scheme had gone. Then Louie takes us from 1970s New York City to India, Bolivia and Bangkok. A young gay art student arrives in Manhattan, takes MDA, dances at Studio 54, sees Andy Warhol, shoots his first speedball and falls in love with a small-time drug dealer. That relationship sends him to India, where he visits an opium den, joins Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's ashram and begins an unexpected romance with a German woman. When Louie becomes stranded with an unpaid hotel bill, he tracks down an opium-addicted dealer named Tascar and agrees to smuggle pure heroin back to New York inside a condom wrapped in electrical tape and hidden in his body. At JFK, DEA agents strip-search him but somehow fail to find it. Louie sells half the heroin for $50,000—and quickly becomes addicted to the rest. Next comes a trip to Bolivia for a kilo of pure cocaine. Unable to conceal the package the way he planned, Louie divides it between his cowboy boots and skin-tight jeans. This time, the DEA immediately notices. He is arrested, faces federal charges and avoids prison after his father puts up the family home and helps him receive probation. But even that isn't Louie's bottom. After returning to drugs, he joins an elaborate Bangkok heroin-smuggling operation that hides the shipment inside an airplane lavatory for another courier to retrieve on a domestic leg of the flight. By Christmas 1983, Louie is living in luxury but feels completely dead inside. A seemingly minor argument produces a life-changing realization: “You don't have to live like this.” He returns home, kicks heroin and enters treatment on January 1, 1984. A year later, he tests HIV-positive at a time when the diagnosis was widely considered a death sentence. Louie stays sober, builds a creative life, finds an HIV-positive recovery community in Los Angeles—and remains sober 40 years later.
