RentMen:
If we sat on the beach and drank wine and ate great food just you and I, what would you tell me about yourself and your life?
hollyWOOF:
If we were sitting on the beach, sharing wine and great food, I’d tell you "Girl where is the SPF50 pass it ova!". I would say: I hold no regrets. I’ve had the privilege of loving—and being loved by—three incredible men. That’s not something I take lightly. I see so many people out there hurting each other because they’ve never known love. They don’t know how to give what they’ve never received.
And when that pain tries to aim itself at me, I stand tall. Fierce. Poised. I look it dead in the eye—because I know who I am. I have a job. I have an education. And I have someone waiting for me at home, goddammit.
I’ve earned my peace. I’ve fought for my joy. And I’ll never apologize for the strength it took to get here.
RentMen:
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like others to absolutely know about you?
hollyWOOF:
That I am born and raised in the 'hood'; South Central Los Angeles to be exact. If there’s one thing I’d want people to know about me, it’s that I don’t do anything halfway. I’d rather stumble giving 110 percent than coast at fifty. I like taking risks, pushing limits, and turning ideas into something real—messy or not. I care about showing up fully, being honest, and leaving people with something that actually sticks, not just surface-level fluff.
RentMen:
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
hollyWOOF:
I live for the thrill of the hunt. My background is in design, so I’ve always been drawn to the details—how something is built, how it holds up, what story it tells without saying a word. I’ve been collecting vintage long before sustainability became fashionable—not for the trend, but for the soul.
One of my favorite hobbies is combing through flea markets or estate sales, chasing that quiet spark of discovery. I’m not afraid to dig—under tables, behind boxes, past the obvious—because I know that what’s overlooked is often where the real magic lives. Value doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it waits to be seen by the right eyes.
And really, isn’t that true for people too? You miss a lot when you only pay attention to the cover. It’s the pieces that aren’t immediately flashy or obvious that can hold the richest stories.
RentMen:
How do you go the 'Extra Mile' in your life?
hollyWOOF:
I go the extra mile by leading with kindness and staying true to myself. I don’t concern myself with what others think or what they’re doing—because someone’s opinion of me is none of my business. What matters is how I show up. It takes far more energy to be cruel than it does to be kind, and I choose kindness every time. Yes, it’s nice to feel important—but it’s far more important to be nice.
