SEEKING #GIRLBOSS TO HELP LEAD CURTSY MARKETING EFFORTS
Location: Mountain View, CA
Start Date: August 1, 2016
This week only: 50% of all Curtsy orders will be donated to the #Girlboss Foundation.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know we love the term Girlboss. But do you know where it came from? Sophia Amoruso, founder of Nasty Gal, came up with it, and if you don’t know her, you should.
After dropping out of school and moving to San Francisco at 22, Sophia started selling vintage clothing on Ebay while bored at her job checking ID’s in the lobby of an art school. Today, the company does $250 million a year in sales and is growing fast.
What makes someone a Girlboss? According to Sophia, A Girlboss is…
Someone who is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it. As a #GIRLBOSS, you take control and accept responsibility. You’re a fighter—you know when to throw punches and when to roll with them…

Curtsy makes it easy for you to monetize one of your biggest investments- your closet.
“I jokingly call it my ‘greatest investment’ because I have made so much more money off of renting the dress than I actually paid for the dress.”– Mary Margaret Tardy

These two fabulous twins Kenzie and Carol moved to Charleston two years ago with nothing. Here’s what happened next.
PS. Their closet is open and yours to borrow on Curtsy! If you don’t have the app, get it here:
Kenzie and Carol had just graduated from school and wanted to get out of Utah and try living in a different state. They lived for a year with their best friend, who was in her senior year at College of Charleston.
They’ve always lived together, even after Kenzie got married. They plan on keeping it that way too, they’ve always been best friends.
When they walked into Alley’s Sports Bar, a local favorite, to ask for a job, the owner was amused. They’d have to be hired as a package deal, they told him. They were hired.
They share a car and try to work the same shifts. Customers are confused on the regular. You can see why.
Friends had always told them that they needed to blog about their lives. One year ago, they finally took the leap.
They didn’t share it at all, though. They were afraid of what other people might think.
It would still be private had they not sent a link to their mom, who shared it on Facebook. “Alright, I guess we have to put it out in public now.” Thanks Mom.
After a few months, it started to take off. Their Instagram grew, more people read the blog, and people even started recognizing them on the street.
They experimented with different styles, photography and writing. They started getting recognized around town and at work.
This girl wanted to take a picture with us at work. That was very humbling because you don’t think people even look at it. It’s really cool to see that people read it and recognize us.
The blog has opened many doors for the duo. Companies have been reaching out with promotions and sending free swag. They were even invited to Charleston Fashion Week.
Their advice for people starting out? Just be yourself.
It’s always hard to figure out what you want to do with your life. We still don’t know but realized that we want to keep going in this direction, working with people and companies that mean something to us and do something for the world.
You never know who you’re going to inspire.
