'Darcey and Stacey': Silva sisters reveal working at Hooters allowed them to come out of their shell
Darcey and Stacey Silva are planning on starting over again with their brand House of Eleven, but before that, the sisters opened up about some of the jobs they had done before. Stacey recalled that she worked at a grocery store and used to pack bags as she wanted to earn money for herself.
Meanwhile, Darcey recalled that she worked at the drive-through and managed to get good tips that allowed her to go shopping every now and then. While the sisters had different experiences in their first-time job, over the years they have managed to work together. The Silva sisters recalled working at Hooters and enjoying every part of it. Hooters is a restaurant whose waiting staff are primarily young, attractive waitresses usually referred to simply as "Hooter Girls". The standard uniform of a Hooters Girl involves a pair of tiny orange shorts and a low-cut tank top, a look which encourages the Hooters Girl to show off her sex appeal
Before landing a job at the restaurant, the sisters were known to be shy girls. However, they believe the restaurant allowed them to come out of their shell and enjoy themselves. They recalled singing autographs and wishing to be on the Hooters magazine. While the sisters were unable to land themselves a role for the Hooters calendar, they managed to get on the Budweiser calendar.
After trying their job at different things, the sisters finally decided to start a clothing line of their own. They started 'House of Eleven' to honor their brother who passed away due to cancer. At the same time, the sisters wanted something to work on and the clothing line matched their passion.
Over the years the Silva sisters managed to make a name for themselves and the brand. Celebrities like Demi Lovato. Nicki Minaj and others have worn their outfits. While it looked like they had everything under control, things took a different turn when they decided to shift their focus on their personal lives and not professional.
Their father, Mike, who had been an investor in the company made it clear that he would not act as one for the second time. He was quick to dismiss the idea of being part of the brand as an investor. Despite this, Darcey was adamant about starting the brand over and thought now was the time.
There is no doubt that the Silva sisters have come a long way. Right from being a waitress at Hooters to having a clothing line of their own, the Silva sisters were ready to take over the world by relaunching their brand. However, coronavirus has put paid to their plan. While the uncertainty of Covid-19 prevails, can the sisters figure something out?
'Darcey and Stacey' airs on Sundays at 10 pm ET on TLC.
