I also discovered the welding space that\nsuggested this was a woman who was surely about her business. I glimpsed some impressive\nheavy-duty machinery, several metal rods, lined up vertically against the wall,\nand a table filled with power tools I would have to Google search to know what\nthey were and what exactly they did. Walking in all I really knew was that this\nwoman built artistic masterpieces.

This self-described <em>introverted-nerd,<\/em> (although I perceive her to be more of a modest warrior who slays in a male-dominated industry) rose up from the ashes once she picked up a welding torch after a breakup to set blow torching history with an unthinkable brand name and furniture business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And let\u2019s be clear shall we? The power HA\u00fcs of Meyghan Hill and the beautiful brand she built wasn\u2019t solely based on the premise of a woman scorned over a severed romance. For the record, Hill says, \u201cHonestly, I was starting over, moved into a place and needed furniture. I didn\u2019t intend to make a business, and I wasn\u2019t bored or anything but it (welding) helped and opened up a creative outlet.

Which, it\u2019s no secret that people tend to make the word <em>whore<\/em>, taboo but Hill says, \u201cThe name is empowering and I won\u2019t shy away from it.\u201d Neither, are we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name is a play\non words. The word \u201cORE\u201d is defined as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>n.<em> A source from which matter (as metal) is extracted. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infusing the (wh) with ORE, the (wh)ORE HA\u00fcs brand becomes provocative and unapologetically feminine. A brand name so sexually stimulating, Hill says \u201cEven full businesses and bankers won\u2019t actually say it during business transactions or when I\u2019m dealing with shipping accounts. No one will say the name on the phone. Ironically enough, men are much more offended than women. Women\u2019s responses are mostly positive in person. Sure, it\u2019s bold and touchy but it\u2019s also furniture that rectifies strong female empowerment. I\u2019m glad the conversation is being had. I want people to be more informed.\u201d Although Hill says when she first started her brand, she didn\u2019t really know that one day she would be defending it to the LA Times after Etsy took up issue with using the name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Meghyan-Hill-of-whORE-Haus-Furniture-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Meghyan-Hill-of-whORE-Haus-Furniture-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Meghyan-Hill-of-whORE-Haus-Furniture-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Meghyan-Hill-of-whORE-Haus-Furniture-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Meghyan-Hill-of-whORE-Haus-Furniture.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Meyghan Hill of (wh)ORE HA\u00fcs Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-the-word-wh-ore\"><strong>Why the Word (wh)ORE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill breaks wh(ORE) HA\u00fcs down for us some more. \u201cIt makes you confront something, there\u2019s essentially a shift in a word where you\u2019re taking it from something that means something derogatory to something different when you use it on yourself and claim it as your own, then it becomes empowering. The thing that\u2019s mystifying is that the word whore didn\u2019t really mean what it meant to a lot of people. Ultimately, I do believe there are sex workers in this world who have a very different relationship with the word but in my experience and community, it\u2019s women being called that in an atmosphere that has nothing to do with the actual context. Men can say during a fight, He\u2019s being a d*ck or call each other **s hole and it\u2019s not a problem or even an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel Hill\u2019s\npassion as she continues, \u201cAs a woman, we\u2019re all really hoping to be accepted\nin all our many facets. There\u2019s this idea that women can\u2019t be sexual in certain\natmospheres. I\u2019m sorry (not sorry) that if you walk in whatever place and\nwhatever it is about your clothing or body that makes a man think you\u2019re being\nsexual or sexy, that\u2019s on <em>them,<\/em> not\nyou, you\u2019re not dressing for <em>them<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I\ncosigned pretty sincerely on this, just yes, yes, and yes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sexy-designs\"><strong>Sexy Designs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill&#8217;s furnishings are very unique and carry the same in your face artistic persona one might grasp from the brand&#8217;s name and design pieces. \u201cSex is a huge part of my branding, furniture, and work because women should be able to use tools, be feminine and strong at the same time. All those things should be acceptable.\u201d I concur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whorehausstudios.com\/restraint-cocktail-table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_5904.jpeg\" alt=\"table with black marble and leather and brass details - restraint by (wh)ore haus studio furniture\" class=\"wp-image-32110\" width=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_5904.jpeg 911w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_5904-214x300.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_5904-768x1079.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_5904-729x1024.jpeg 729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Restraint Nightstand \/ Table by (wh)ORE HA\u00fcs<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With sexy tables,\npillows with presence and chairs strapped with buckles, corsetry and lux metals;\nit\u2019s easy to be drawn into such a dominant artistic design. \u201cMy aesthetic is a\nlittle bit whips and chains and rock and roll.

More ideas for the future entail her\ncurrent research in working on a new collection, which involves Japanese Rope\nTying, as she is drawn to images that combine corsetry and furniture. \u201cI get to\nbe an investigative journalist and tap into my nerd. I want to rectify this\nvisual imagery with my brand because it\u2019s just really f*cking fascinating.

It\u2019s an amazing time and part of the whole message now is that we need to be looking at other people\u2019s perspectives. My intention is making sure I\u2019m being responsible in my branding, marketing, and the products. I want to really give a lot of thought to and make sure the tone behind the brand respects the growth of what\u2019s happening in our world today. I don\u2019t need to make people comfortable with my company anymore and that\u2019s a BIG difference from where I was several years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn 15 years I hope I\u2019ll be able to say to myself &#8216;look at you now, baby girl!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plot twist, you can say it now, Meyghan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**Fun fact: When Hill isn\u2019t working on furniture; she\u2019s a true crime junkie and reads bad mystery novels.
