Noni and Reese
Season 2NONIE CREME
Nonie grew up in Texas to upper middle class parents who sent her to boarding school on the East Coast, then to Scripps College to get the best education possible. She began her career as an on-set nail tech in the London fashion scene. There, she started her own line of nail polish, Butter London, which she later sold for $20 Million. She went back into startup mode for a color cosmetic line, Color Prevails and is now running her third brand, BeautyGarde, from her home base in Seattle. Nonie has properties in New York, London, and Seattle and a net worth of approx. $20 Million. Nonie was previously married to rock star Lelo Creme for 22 years, with whom she has an 11 year old daughter, Paloma. The now-friends share 50-50 custody of their daughter. She is a self-described control freak, and says that meeting Reese has showed her that career and money aren’t everything.
REESE RECORD
Reese was born in a very small town outside of Seattle. His father died when he was 13, leaving his mother struggling to raise Reese and his three sisters alone. With only a high school diploma, he works odd jobs as an arborist and handyman. He works hard to pay his own way, but lacks motivation. Before he met Nonie, Reese was homeless, living out of his truck. Reese is a lifelong bachelor, with his longest relationship before Nonie not even lasting a year. He gets along well with her daughter, Paloma, and her ex-husband, as he tries to fit in to her already established life. Nonie is way out of his league when it comes to finances and Reese feels very out place with her fancy friends and tends to reject the signs of wealth Nonie is used to. While he spends 99% of his time at Nonie’s Seattle home, he insists on keeping his own room in a house he shares with his skateboarding friends. Reese is fiercely independent but enjoys the finer things with Nonie.
