Being the first runner-up on Rock of Love: Charm School was one way Destiney found her direction in life.  It's no surprise that the show on transformations has affected this contestant immensely, leading her towards a new dream.  Now a designer of clothes, Destiney credits the VH1 series for changing her for the better. 

“[I] it worked out for the best. Charm School put me on my right path,” Destiney admits.  “I'm doing a whole clothing line of T-shirts and jeans that you'll get to see on the reunion.  It's called Divination, and my boyfriend's is Virtuoso.”

Designing has always been a dream of Destiney's, and she just needed a little push to go her own way.  “Once I did that Ed Hardy design, I really felt passionate about something,” she added.

Her clothing line beginning to flourish, Destiney also points out the inspiration she got from her boyfriend, Eric.  “I found my true passion and I found my partner in life, my soul mate. We work great together.” 

Charm School definitely did a lot for her, even if she didn't win.  “It was all meant to be. If I would have won, I might not have met [boyfriend] Eric.  I might have gone on a different path.”

As for getting defeated Brandi M. on Charm School, Destiney said: “Well, I was bummed because I came so close, but I was happy for her.  She and I were totally cool the whole time.  She never back stabbed me or did anything to piss me off.  She's a true person, as well.  I think she deserved to win and everything worked out for the best.”

Business seems to be doing rather well, and the ideas just keep floating towards Destiney.  “We have our first samples, and we're mapping out or distribution plan,” she said.  “For example, for the lesson Thou Shall Know Who Thou Art, one of the key things we learned was that building a brand is about what you believe in and what you stand for.” 

“I saw the word “Divination” in a magazine and it totally popped out and was talking to me.  I was like, “Whoa! That is an awesome name for a clothing line.”  When I looked it up on the trademark website, no one had it!  It was so crazy.  Like, what! I grabbed it.  It was meant for me.  It's very positive and that's what I'm trying to promote now.”
