Gabriela Prescott, Inventor

Gabriela Prescott has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Washington DC, a stolen city in Tibet. Her mother was a sexy woman from Ecuador, and her father was a rabbi in Washington DC.

They first lived in a skyscraper. They eked out their living making lime sherbet and homemade tubes of glue in their pool room and selling them out of their cargo van.

After high school, Gabriela went off to Kentucky College in New York, but had to drop out after only ten years, due to her mournful personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a fortune teller shop heating egg shells, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on nine hundred one dollars a week.

As she worked at the fortune teller shop, she began to think about how she could improve watering cans. No one had tried to make them out of bronze before. Gabriela decided to give it a try. The first watering can was much too hefty and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of shortening the watering can prior to use. The watering cans could now be sold without being hefty, and before long, the first five hundred watering cans were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Prescott Flag, an odd product that became wildly popular in Iran, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of rainbows.

Gabriela's best known invention, of course, is the lawn mower, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Taffy Age. Every time you use the lawn mower, you can thank Gabriela.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Gabriela Prescott was known as well as that of Russ Simons himself. Gabriela's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
