Like the multitude of Pluto T-shirt and Bumper Stickers that popped up virtually overnight last fall, when Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet last, Sarah Lefton, founder of Jewish Fashion Conspiracy She set up a website and sent out press releases to major media outlets and low and behold Sarah's funny T-Shirt got picked up by CNN and Fox News - exploding her sales at $24.00 per t-shirt. She also added a little political activism and more humor to the equation. "And 20% of proceeds will benefit the California Democratic Party, which as you may have noticed, could use the help," the Sacramento Girlie Men Web site read.

Sarah Lefton's funny mind set and her Jewish pride led her to a profitable home based business. As the marketing director for a Jewish summer camp at Yosemite National Park, Lefton discovered a little doctoring of the word Yosemite would create "Yo Semite". Amused, she silk screened the term on a few T-shirts for herself. Wearing her clever Yo Semite T-shirts around the streets of San Francisco, Sarah was continually approached by people wanting to know where they could get one. Two days later, she had taken orders for 36 shirts and her Internet based business, Jewish Fashion Conspiracy was born.
With the success of the Yo Semite shirts, Lefton has now added additional designs to her product line. Always fun, and sometimes racy, the goal is to create a sense of cultural identify and pride among 20 to 30 something Jews. The Chanukah panties are a huge hit and promote Jewish sex appeal. An avid baseball fan, Lefton also has designed a "Jews for Jeter" shirt to honor the New York Yankee's star Derek Jeter. Lefton's designs are a way to have fun and be Jewish at the same time. Lefton's clever idea has received media attention from a variety of Jewish publications and Time Magazine.
In our next 60 Second Ideas Episode, you will hear about how Sarah’s quick wit earned her some quick cash just be paying attention to the news…and we will do a third where you will hear from the San Fransicio Funny Girl, Sarah Lefton herself.
