About Me

I am a girl living in the Loop who enjoys taking Figgy for walks in Grant Park. I am crabby, and dislike strangers. I won't take your picture with your camera for you on the street.

My Interests

Coddling Andromeda Fig Larsen, vintage costume jewelry, clothing and accessories, new shades of Chanel nail polish, reading, and going to museums. I also enjoy sparkly things like Prosecco. I love to read new issues of US Weekly and Bazaar.

I'd like to meet:

No, thank you.

Music:

Currently in rotation are Dolly Parton's Greatest Hits Vol. 1, the new Fresh Meat compilation, Yaz Upstairs at Eric's, and old George Michael, and pre-Hard Candy Madonna, since Hard Candy has not won me over yet.

Movies:

The best movie I've seen lately is the 'King of Kong'. Some favorites are Cinema Paradiso, Cousins, 24 Hour Party People, and the Shining. After seeing a recept Roman Polanski documentary, I am making my way through his body of work.

Television:

Footballers Wives, Ab Fab, Twin Peaks, Oprah, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Dallas, Weeds,and the Real Housewives. I generally love Bravo reality tv, like Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D List, Flipping Out, Shear Genius, etc. I loved The Next Food Network Star because of the fabulous Lisa Garza, who lost- sniff.

Books:

I am reading a huge biography of Marilyn Monroe by Spoto

Heroes:

Oprah, Tanya Turner-Laslett on Footballers Wives, Coco Chanel, Barack Obama, Michael Moore.
