We all have a special item that we just love—there could be a number of reasons why we cherish it… because it’s comfortable, because it holds memories or simply because it’s beautiful. At Grok Nation, we highlight sustainable fashion and these special items with our recurring feature My Favorite Hand-Me-Down.
Here we’re pleased to highlight Janet Varney. You may recognize Janet from IFC’s horror comedy series Stan Against Evil or from FXX’s dark comedy You’re the Worst, or you may know her voice from The Legend of Korra (she was Korra!) or Nerdist’s The JV Club, where she tells the story of innovative and funny females.
What you might not know about Janet is that she co-founded SF Sketchfest, a San Francisco comedy event that just wrapped its 17th season, and that she is deeply involved with Art of Esylium‘s Girl Talk/Esteem program to build self-esteem in youth.
And you might not know that she’s a huge fan of vintage clothing, which is why we caught up with her to ask about her favorite hand-me-down.
