Why her friends call her Sophia | 23 Feb 2009

Vocalist Jae Franklin says she was nicknamed 'Sophia' in college.

'I was so sassy. I was extremely sarcastic and because I would wear house slippers, listen to classical music and hand stitch, my friends said I reminded them of Sophia from The Golden Girls.'

When it comes to being herself, the 27-year-old who is now a trendsetter has always been happy to just be herself.

'I would wear rollers or pincurl my hair at night; however, I used to get talked about a lot for wearing my blue satin cap to bed. They really got a kick out of that,' she said.
