"Pastry" Kicks Back To The Community!


"Rev. Run" and the Simmons family are wisely training their children to be entrepreneurs with a conscience. Mini-mogul daughters Vanessa and Angela Simmons have a fun line of sport-inspired shoes, clothing and accessories called "Pastry". It's a wildly popular line (last I heard, they'd made $40mil last year) which this season features bright colors and sweets-inspired names like "Glam Pie" and "Fruit Tarte" (shown at right). Even more exciting is their philanthopic angle. They've used their visibility (born first from TV shows "Run's House" and now their own, called "Daddy's Girls") to start "Pastry Cares", which highlights children who are ill or in need of transplants, and "Pastry Gives Back", a monthly contest which encourages young women to give back to others...Bravo, Ladies!
