Sara Blakely may be an exception. She says she was "spanked and spanked often," so much that she would wear all of her days-of-the-week underwear at the same time to soften the blow. Today, she is the founder and owner of a women's undergarment manufacturer that has passed $100 million in retail sales this year. Blakely says she thought of a name for her company while sitting in Atlanta traffic. It's a name that nobody seems to forget. Spanx. lol! thanks for posting that... my daughter lives in atlanta and was interviewed for an executive position at 'spanx' last year i'm pretty sure she doesn't know this little tidbit about blakely (whom she likes tremendously)...i'm sure she will get a laugh out of that story and relate somewhat since she got a few 'fannie swats' in her very early years...<vbg> here's susan....great entrepreneurial story spanx.com!stmenu_template.main?proc_to_call_in=&this_object_id_in=685520&proc_this_object_id_in=685520&this_object_type_in=cat&proc_this_object_type_in=cat&top_category_id_in=685520&proc_top_category_id_in=685520&section_id_in=477024
