About me

Gender Female
Occupation freelance writer
Introduction I am a freelance writer whose essays and articles have appeared in the New York Times, Newsday, House Beautiful,and numerous other publications. I've always liked makeup but to my surprise in late life it's become an obsession. Routinely I circle the cosmetic departments in search of that product that will help me recreate the face I used to see reflected in the mirror or barring that help make this new one more to my liking. Least I feel feel too frivolous about my new pursuit I decided to share my findings on this website.
Interests people, writing, reading, taking ballet class, opera, the wonder of it all.
Favorite Movies Bull Durham, especially the candelight pedicure
Favorite Music The quartet from Act II of Rigoletto, Handel's Messiah, Bach's Mass in B minor, anything by Paul Simon and Billy joel
