I stand for the Midwest. That’s why the album’s titled ‘M.O.,’ ’cause I’m still holding it down like that. My friends and family all call me Mo, so it’s kind of like really representing where I’m from and me at the same time. Nelly Read Quote
The fashion world has been great. We started Apple Bottoms about seven years ago; it’s interesting to be able to create something from your perspective, for your fans and support. It’s a little different for me, because about 70% of my fans are females. Nelly Read Quote

Bullying was one on one and face to face. Now it’s all over the Internet. Nelly Read Quote
