What’s your dream job?

My dream job actually has three parts that all have to do with fashion journalism and can be done concurrently throughout my lifetime. I’d like to be a Fashion Editor for a magazine or newspaper in California where I’d cover fashion weeks and trends; a columnist for a trade paper where my specialty would be retail and stores; and a fashion book author who also conducts workshops focusing on subjects from my books.

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

I’ve felt loved when my cat Zombie massages my legs then sleeps next to me for our afternoon nap. I have SLE Lupus and he just always seems to know when I need extra attention to alleviate the pain and stress indicative of the disability.

What is your favorite animal?

My favorite animal is a cat. Even though I’ve had other cats, the cat I own now, Zombie is the love of my life, a blessing, my muse, my family and my inspiration. He’s God’s gift and who I’d want to be if I were an animal.
