WorldsSexiestWholesale.com was launched in 2008 and later expanded to being a large scale womens online store that sells designer brand merchandise at close-to-wholesale prices to both resellers and individuals who are looking to purchase inventory without going through standard mass-buying procedures.

POSH by Tori BOUTIQUE was founded in a very interesting way. Nearly a decade ago, Tori Thompson was a stay-at-home mother of her then 1-year-old and 2-year-old sons. Tori noticed that while most women wanted trendy designer items, coughing up $200 for a new handbag or $75 for a cute blouse wasn't in the family budget. The "Retail Price Gouge"​ felt so excessive that it unfairly alienated so many hard-working women. After seemingly endless research, Tori test-launched an online womens boutique business out of her home with the single goal of providing the public with the items they crave at a pricepoint that allows everyone to have beautiful merchandise. By 2008 Tori was able to open a small store in Taylor, MI. The store and website were so successful that in less than 2 years the Taylor location was no longer sufficient and the online business had outgrown Tori's basement and needed commercial space.In 2010 Tori secured warehousing in Auburn Hills and the business thrived. .In 2011 office space was needed for the online business so Tori decided to find office space that was also zoned to offer retail. Tori figured that since she had to be working in the "office"​, might as well offer a small showroom with walk-in retail. The idea behing this was that "maybe a few people would stop in and buy some items, but even if they don't, no problem. I have to be there regardless. It just makes sense to open multiple revenue channels"​.... and Posh by Tori was officially born in Commerce, Michigan.Little did she know, Posh by Tori was to quickly become such a hit that on Labor Day Weekend (2012) the office was completely demolished and rennovated to make one large 1,700 sq ft retail store.In 2013 POSH by Tori BOUTIQUE won it's first award for Best Clothing Store. This was followed up by a 2nd award of the same in 2014.In 2015 the online business launched its Texas warehousing.

I was fortunate enough to be able to model my own clothing and do photo shoots to earn a little extra income while in my 20's. The photos are pretty cool so I figured I'd add them to my portfolio.
