Motley Crue: The Dirt - Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band. I started it when I was in bed with the flu and read the entire thing!

Water for it’s delicious and slimming summer properties!

Sweet, that’s why I need 2 trainers.

Pool or ocean?
The ocean. It heals all.

New York! I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
Last great vacation?
Costa Rica! My boyfriend and I traveled to the Osa Peninsula in January and it was the most brilliant vacation ever! We surfed, hiked to a waterfall, saw 32 different kinds of animals, played on our own private beach and even got robbed! We’re going back this December to pay back the German lady who loaned us $100 after the robbery.
Favorite TV show?
TV is for the content. I have too many unfulfilled desires to commit to weekly programming.
Weirdest job you've ever had?
When I was 17 I worked in a candy store. Not that weird except that the staff spent a summer bartering candy for food, drinks and clothing. We all got fired after 4 months.
Favorite restaurant?
The Palisades in Seattle.
Favorite object in your home?
A 6 foot steel sculpture in the shape of a bow that my boyfriend had commissioned from artist Kim Maloney, as a Christmas gift. It’s inspired by my neck tattoo.
Favorite piece of clothing?
Absolutely the Karen Zambos black harem pant onesie I got at Castor & Pollux and the 5 nude feather boas I just got at a prop stylist’s sale... but only when worn all at once.
Favorite blog or website?
My favorite website is flickr, especially flickr.com/vitofun.
My favorite blog is seaofshoes.com. That girl has style!

Bar food.

Love this question! I LOVE pop music! "I Don’t Feel Like Dancing" by The Scissor Sisters.
Your ideal day?
Waking up on Fire Island with Vito and spending all day at the beach fielding major business dealings from my iphone, and then dancing all night and jumping in hot tubs with our gaggle of gay friends.
Favorite gift you've ever received?
Vito and I tattooed our names on each other for my 29th birthday.
Favorite flower?
The topiary. Not a flower but I am obsessed with the garden poodle that is the topiary. I’m not stuck on one flower. I love them all except roses which in my opinion are very pedestrian.

Gemini.

I’m the founder of muffin cupcake, a brand strategy consulting firm
and I also created Vergenza, a lifestyle-inspired erotics brand.
