For years I have been wearing
my husband’s swim trunks to the pool and
to the beach. I just always felt more comfortable
and freer in them than in a traditional female
bathing suit. You can do all sorts of things
more easily while wearing them -- run, jump, dive,
rough house with your kids, etc. -- all without
worrying about a “wardrobe malfunction.” Also,
you don’t have to run out and get a bikini
wax every time you go to the beach or pool. Nor
do you need to avoid sitting in the sand for fear
of getting sand butt. YIKES!
Sooooo, anyway........I kept
waiting year after year for gal trunks to come
out, thinking it was bound to happen some day. The
concept was just too great for someone to overlook
it. But, after many years of not seeing
these products, I decided to take matters into
my own hands.
I had known Kristen for several
years as a costume designer and someone who is
just really creative and artistic. I also
had seen how hard she worked as my production assistant,
and when she helped with my kids. So, I initially
brought the idea to her. She loved it, and
came back practically the next day with sketches. Kristen
and I then went shopping for materials together
and were totally in synch. It was so much
fun!
Well, there you have it. That’s
how we became a team and how Trunkettes
were born. We hope you enjoy them as much
as we have enjoyed working together to bring them
to you. |
