I’m not a girl to wear a lot of bright color, but including a touch of color can pull an outfit together. I’m from New York and wear a lot of black, and color is refreshing Picture Quote #1

As you know, I’m a black girl out of the projects of New York City, raised in a single parent home because my parents divorced very very young... welfare and homeless at four and then again at 16 and just not having the things or the necessary tools that society would say I needed to have in order to be any kind of success in life Picture Quote #1

I like porterhouse steak, rib-eyes and New York strip. This works for me because I have very low cholesterol and low blood pressure. It’s not good for everyone; you have to talk to your doctor about that. I also eat fish and cheese. I like clean food prepared as simply as possible Picture Quote #1

I love jezebel.com for the latest on fashion, style, and celebrity gossip. I also love gawker.com for New York celebrity sightings, and galleycat.com and trashionista.com for book news Picture Quote #1

It may sound a bit like an army barracks, but the truth of the matter is: there must be some time laid aside for arranging, time for working on either a book or an article - I’ve written two articles in the last four months for the New York Times book review section Picture Quote #1

My husband and I are huge bibliophiles. He’s always reading ‘The New York Times Book Review’ and then ordering 20 books online Picture Quote #1

When I ask the young people from California why they want to go to New York, and the ones from the East why they’re determined to go West, I hear what you’d expect: new challenges, different weather, boyfriends, girlfriends, to make a name... They laugh when I say, ‘But your poor mother.’ Picture Quote #1
