Re: Hubba Hubba
1. Are you still smoking! Why?
Mom, I'm smoking now. Because I love to smoke. It's my second favorite addiction, want to take a guess at the first? Okay, it's caffeine. Give me coffee or give me death.
2. Where do your clothing design ideas come from? What single fabric was your all time favorite?
Most often, I'll be in a fabric store and look at some piece of fabric and go, "That would make the coolest..."
I remember a lot of stuff--from a fashion show I saw on the style network to whatever Bette Davis wore in that one scene in...whatever movie it was. I take those and then mix them up to find something else. I also like combing vintage stores for their stuff.
My favorite fabric was this really heavy metallic silver rayon fabric--I bought, like, 9 yards of it from the store. It became: a skirt, the backside of a tank top/shell, a scarf, a pair of pants. The scarf is the only thing that I still have.
3. Was there a book/novel that changed your life forever?
Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins. Everything solidified after that. It could be the most perfect novel in the world. The mastery of language, entertainment level of the story, and personal connection--redheads, spirituality, true love...makes me all squishy inside. I go back and read it every time I'm on a plane.
4. What is your solution for global warming?
Throw away your car. Seriously, throw it away, and figure out another way to get to where you want to go. That's step number 1.
5. What will be your firstborn child's name?
I am not giving birth to any children. But my adopted son's name would be Mark Allen. It's a family joke. My adopted daughter would be named Dorothy Parker, after Dorothy Parker.
