| Introduction | I was a manicurist/make-up artist/skin care special for 12 years. Now I'm a renegade housewife who smokes too much but tries to balance out skin damage by staying the hell out of the sun. I color my hair, but think women should age as naturally as possible. I believe it is our responsibility as grown-ass women to say "fuck you" to media who decide what's beautiful and what's not. I buy drugstore cosmetics and I'm not embarrassed about it. |
| Interests | Cooking, food, entertaining, good stuff cheap, television good and bad, pop culture (whatever that means) |
| Favorite movies | Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Private Benjamin, Shoot the Moon, Animal House, This is Spinal Tap, Splendor in the Grass, and lots more I can't remember right now. |
| Favorite music | Nothing will ever top Motown from the mid-60s. but I also love real country, good dance music and many other styles not involving Whitney Houston Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. |
| Favorite books | Handmaid's Tale, The Egyptologist, The World According to Garp, Girl With a Pearl Earring, Revolutionary Road, The Great Gastby. |
