"Ask a Gay Man" Founder Goes From Folding T-Shirts at the Gap to the Top of The Fashion Industry
Last year at this time, now 23-year-old William Sledd was working at the Gap. Now he's got millions of fans, a TV deal with Bravo, features in fashion magazines, and a Rolodex that includes Broadway stars.
"When I started making videos I didn't tell anyone at all. I didn't tell my sister, or my family or my friends, my co-workers. No one knew…. it was kind of like my secret video diary." Then one day the "Tonight Show" called his parents' house asking to speak with Sledd. This came as quite a surprise to his mother who had no idea that her son had the 5th most popular video blog on YouTube.
