Interests Mocking people who wear crocs and uggs, eating out (so I can avoid cooking), extending my shoe collection, reading anything I can get my hands on, pilates, dance, perfecting my bangs and a bun, good conversation, good music, good friends, art galleries, museums, getting lost in the metropolis
Favorite Movies The Godfather (only 1 & 2 - 3 sucked), Goodfellas (great movie, fantastic soundtrack), Scarface (for Michelle Pheiffer's wardrobe), City of God (one of the best foreign language films ever made), Breakfast at Tiffany's (Audrey Hepburn - nuff said), La Haine (Incredible french film with some very funny french insults), Beat Street (just classic), Carlito's Way (the chase scene through Grand Central Station at the end....mindblowing), Fight Club (whoever styled Brad Pitt in this movie truely bought sexy back.
