Yes, this TIA used to work at Silhouette... she told me so...
I can't tell you the number of non-white MPA's I've seen who've told me how intimidated they were competing with the "goddesses" when they first got into the business...
Tia's the perfect example of a girl who's NOT 5'8", bleached blonde with big plastic boobs... but by accentuating what she DOES have and treating her clients well has built up a loyal following...
She's down to earth, and I've always felt very comfortable with her...
