What is the next…

Purchase you’ll make?

Ridiciously teetering 80s style black bootie/shoe-boots. And black, black, black for Fall 2006. Did I mention black?

Trend in design?

Ladylike chic in menswear fabrics with a rocker edge – ie. a fab tweed suit paired with a silk-screened tee by an indie designer; a bag that looks handmade & craftsy that costs a fortune (Chanel) or really looks expensive & isn’t; and perhaps a diamond skull pendant or ring by a jeweler like Loree Rodkin.

Car you’d like to own?

A vintage red Saab or a 50s kitchen-appliance green Vespa.

Big step you’d like to make?

Taking over the world. However, until that day, continuing to grow Fashiontribes into a full-fledged online fashion media conglomerate.

Fad that will fade?

Patterned leggings. Same for gauchos in skimpy jersey knits. They need to go-go-go. Die. For non-models & anyone over 20, they create the opposite of long, lean limbs by visually widening where they shouldn’t & cutting things off too soon.

Vacation you’ll take?

Motorcycling down the Transamerica highway to Argentina. Of course, I need to learn to ride a bike first. Details.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

My right to accessorize…as well as cruelty to animals like cows, chickens & pigs in the food industry. And don’t get me started on fur.

Secret that’s going to leak?

Cool hunting is dead. Why shell out megabucks for a trendspotter when you can get great quality, real-time info on the web if you know where to look.

Life you’ll lead?

Documentary maker – kind of like the Errol Morris of fashion & lifestyle.

Fountain of youth?

Raw food & yoga. Generous servings daily of good wine. And, of course, better living through plastic surgery.

Book you’ll read?

“Heat” by Bill Buford – middle-aged guy quits his day job and takes a job in the kitchen at a Molto Mario restaurant. Bad boy chef Anthony Bourdain raved about the writing.

Thing that will change the world?

A wrinkle cream that lives up to its promises, and women, banding together. Sistahs united can change everything.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Pirate’s Booty in the chocolate flavor. I know the label says “good for you,” but please.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

My best friend in the world, Deborah, who made space for Fashiontribes in part of her office when I ran out of money & had to give up my office lease.
