In BRIEF, changing your attitude… can change everything!
Have you ever taken the time to evaluate your life? Have you ever realized that so many things, the little things, are easily overlooked and forgotten? Have you ever wanted to make a difference? Have you ever wanted to help inspire people? Georgeann Huszar is one of the many people, who have.
Throughout the past 18 years of her life, Huszar has maintained the unique job of working in the college and career center of Seaholm High School and running an entrepreneur class. She has spent these years helping to inspire, motivate and inform young people of the countless opportunities and options of life, reminding them to always follow their dreams.
Being a Seaholm graduate herself, Huszar admits that in high school she was always “weak academically, but very creative, although she never could admit it.”
Though Huszar always has maintained a very creative and artistic component, it wasn’t until her granddaughter really opened her eyes to see her uniqueness a few years back.
“I was with my granddaughter in a fabric store, and she looked up at me and said “Grandma, you are so creative,” said Huszar. “And it was in that moment that I realized, she was right.”
Between the realization she found from her granddaughter and the enjoyment she found helping her students, Huszar decided that she was going to create a clothing line, The Little Layers in Life and The Little Thongs in Life.
This idea began when Huszar became a member of the Women’s Marketing Association in Birmingham, Michigan. It was there where Huszar was asked to sort through her countless pages of ideas to select a potential product that she felt would succeed in the marketing industry. After much thought, she settled on an idea that she had jokingly toyed with in the past among herself and her female students: Wedgie Wear. The idea of this hypothetical product was to design a thong style pair of underwear that had a cute tag on the back for easy pulling and “wedgie” creating incidents. However, although this idea was a simple joke, the initiative for designing a cute pair of underwear stuck. Through the Wedgie Wear proposal, Huszar attained the idea that by combining her creativity with her passion for helping young women followtheir dreams, she could create a cute product that all girls could enjoy. Her main goal was to share with all girls that one should “Embrace the Body and Hug the Spirit.”
And so it was, The Little Thongs in Life was created.
Each product comes in its own special package and comes complete with an inspirational saying, furthermore encouraging and supporting young women across the country to follow their dreams and to truly treasure the little things that life has to offer. For example: Where ever life leads you… go with your heart!
Huszar is the sole proprietor in her business, though she did hire a professional marketer to help her make this idea a reality.
While her marketer regulates the production, which currently takes place in South America and Florida, along with the selling of the product, Huszar is responsible for coming up with the ideas, logos and emotional stance and sayings for her products.
It’s a labor of love and not for profit. Huszar is currently breaking even on her chic merchandise.
It has been about two years since The Little Thongs in Life was created and since then, Huszar has added an additional line, The Little Layers in Life, to her collection, consisting of playful tank tops and comfy boy brief sets.
This clothing line was created in memory of Huszar’s younger sister, who passed away a few years ago. Huszar’s sister always encouraged her to follow her dreams and to make something out of all her constant creative thoughts and ideas. These clothing articles make up the “layers” that women wear on a dayto- day basis. To Huszar, the “layers” represent all the little things in life that are so easily taken advantage of and are overlooked. They illustrate to customers that no matter what, everything we do in life somehow matters.
Huszar’s clothing line is available at Caruso Caruso in downtown Birmingham, and will soon be available at High Wire Girls in Royal Oak, Michigan.
“I want to connect with young girls and inspire them to reach for their dreams and to follow their passions,” said Huszar. “That is what I truly wish to convey.”
