-
The girl skirt mission was born from one skirt in one
suitcase coming back from India after an extended ashram stay.
- The first girl skirt mission skirt was discovered in
a hair salon of a small remote village in India. It then chose to multiply
in multitudes of colors and various expressions of its magnificence.
- The girl skirt mission name was conceived in meditation
with the three words visually coming together to form a very interesting
domain name.
- The girl skirt mission mission statement, "I want to
take over the world. And do it with a skirt. To teach it Love", came from
three sentences pulled from a long email sent to a yogi friend in
Bosnia and written in the passion of the moment as a true sentiment.
- Mick Jaggar and the Rolling Stones visited the wholesale
shop where the skirt fabrics are produced in India one week prior to the
skirt mission's first visit. The shop owners did not realize who they
were til they left but did sell them some kurtas.
- Rosario Dawson wore the red fancy girl skirt mission
skirt on stage at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NY while doing a V-Day
monologue entitled "My Short Skirt". Present in the audience were Jane
Fonda, Tony Childs, Marisa Tomei, Gloria Steinem and Isabella Rossellini.
- Not being able to cope with the Western world and material
life and the thought of doing a business after many years of living a
single pointed Bhakti life the skirt mission was almost abandoned before
it truly began.
- The few original samples of girl skirt mission garments
were carried around and shown reluctantly in a tearing Whole Foods brown
paper bag.
- The only reason the skirt mission was not abandoned
before it began was due to a dream in which the Guru came and simply said:
"Stay in worldly life". All doors were to spring open after that.
- The girl skirt mission was conceived and nurtured in
one room with one bed, one laptop, one dream and one altar.
- The first words put on paper in an attempt to define
and give birth to the mission were "I have a dreamand it's wrapped around
a skirt". It was done at the kitchen table.
- Bringing the girl skirt mission products to the US took
2.5 years 4 trips to India, three factories, two potential investors, a
few headaches and one angel.
- The manufacturers of the girl skirt mission pant fabrics
had never previously sold their goods to a woman nor had a Westerner ever
walked through their door.
- The manufacturer for the girl skirt mission pant fabric
in India was found after a single bicycle was spotted on a crooked narrow
road, stacked with colorful orange fabric, bicycling to a factory.
- The Milijana name is a birth name given within the rolling
hills of the former Yugoslavia by a grandmother who wore long gray braids
rolled under a babushka, had one proud tooth to chew her meals and lived
through the second world war.
- This beloved grandmother who was nurturer and mother
and a survivor and knew all her flock of sheep by name was killed in the
raging war between the Croats and the Serbs in the former Yugoslavia.
- The girl skirt mission's main aim is to serve as a reminder
that Divinity is the essence of all living beings.
"I honor the boundless in you which seeks to know itself.
I honor the infinite in you, which seeks to realize Self.
I honor its' full manifestation which is Love itself."
