What would you do if you won the lottery?

If I won the lottery I’d move to San Francisco with Zombie, my cat, and start my own fashion magazine, Persona.

What books do you want to read?

I’d like to read Poor Things by Alastair Gray, The Life And Trials Of A Special Ed Student by Cedric McKnight and The Foreign Exchange by Veronica G. Henry.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

A town close to home I haven’t visited yet is Catalina Island. Now that I’m developing local wanderlust it’s definitely on my list of places to visit soon.

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.
