LJ and Woody |
This is the first of multiple installments of how Loudmouth began, and where these nutjobs came from.

He still has his Illustrator ’88 installer floppy discs (for those in the know). He started Loudmouth in 2000 as a side business and was a one-man, poorly-run, albeit growing, fashion business for six years.
