I grew up in Georgia. Every day when I was in highschool in the early 90s, I would run to the mailbox, because I never knew if an International Male or Undergear catalog would be there. It was thrilling and scary, trying to get the mail before my mom or dad. Who knew what they'd do if they found out? Senior year, we had to sell back our books. When I handed one to a teacher, she opened the cover to inspect it and an Undergear catalog fell out! She calmly put it back and handed me my money. Thank God it was after we already graduated, because I took it, left school, and never looked back. International Male was one reason I wanted to go to college in Miami. Whilw there, I got an internship at a modeling agency in South Beach, where I got to meet and work with some International Male models. (I was getting college credit for this!). After graduating, moved to Los Angeles. I remember driving through West Hollywood and seeing the International Male store, which gave me comfort that I was in the right place. Without getting that catalog in my little Georgia suburb in high school, I'm not sure I would have left and moved to Miami, Los Angeles, and later New York City. This documentary brought back so many memories and made me realize how it really did change people's lives for the better.
