What is the next…

Purchase you’ll make?

A bottle of riesling and a refill of my Lexapro prescription. It's a glamorous life.

Trend in design?

Luxe minimalism.

Car you’d like to own?

I'm a Manhattanite to the core; I'll take the subway, thank you.

Big step you’d like to make?

Not sure, but hopefully I'll be wearing cute shoes when I make it.

Fad that will fade?

Worship of the flat iron. What's wrong with the normal textures of our hair?

Vacation you’ll take?

I just got back from Las Vegas; I vacation roughly once every six years.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

I don't know, but I can tell you I'll win.

Secret that’s going to leak?

(Insert Hollywood starlet here) has cellulite! The horror!

Hollywood blockbuster going to be about?

Does it matter? People will see anything as long as it has lots of explosions, lots of violence, and lots of really wooden acting.

Life you’ll lead?

My dog? She has a pretty cushy life. That would be nice.

Fountain of youth?

Sleep. Water. Good food that comes from the ground. And maybe, down the road, a little botox here or there.

Book you’ll read?

Camus' "The Stranger"... I'm re-reading my favorite books I read in high school.

Thing that will change the world?

Barack Obama.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Green tea ice cream.

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

My dog, with whom I'm OBSESSED.
