STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

what was the hardest thing that you ever had to do?

Hmm, i think this question requires a situation that was very emotional/ethical, but one of the hardest things i've ever had to do was run for my cross country races in h.s.  i didn't technically "have to" but i'd feel like an idiot and a quitter if i didn't.  i'm not a very good runner.  Also, giving public speeches is very hard for me and i've had so many business classes that required speeches, that was always very hard.  it was also very hard not speaking to my bf when we broke up, because i wanted to move on if we weren't going to be together.  basically, anything that breaks my heart is very hard on me.  i'm overly emotional.  i dont' really have a good answer to this question.  not because everything i do is easy, but because i try to take things in stride and nothing extremely terrible has ever happened to me *knocking on wood*

LC or Kristin?

Hmm, i honestly like them both.  i think in laguna beach, you get more annoyed with the narrator, just because of the cheesy lines MTV makes them say in the beginning, "So i dumped stephen and look where he runs- straight into LC's arms"  So last season i was annoyed at how desperate seeming lc was due to mtv playing up the whole LC-Stephen-Kristin love triangle (he obv. has the hots for Kristin- they dated for almost 3 years!) and how she would mope after him.  Kristin annoyed me this season when she was being bitchy (sometimes its good bitchy, sometimes not..) but i liked LC more because i saw her less and appreciated that the whole show wasn't "i love stephen i love stephen"  yuck, that must have grown his head.  this season i think everyone realizes he's not hot shit and now no one is fighting over him.  So ha!  Ok long story short- i like them both, but probably prefer Kristin for going out and having fun, and LC for chilling in her sweet-ass hot tub.

what was your favorite after-school thing to do?

i'm guessing you mean h.s.?  i would usually go home, eat a snack (hahah, oh after school snacks, how i miss you- they always tasted so good) maybe hang out with my friends for a while, eat dinner than start my homework.  i thought that period of my life was so depressing, nothing to look forward to it seemed and so routine.

if you could pick three must have designer pieces, what would they be?  (ex. hermes scarf, burberry trench...)

• This hermes kelly bag, in this color combo.  i will own this bag one day hopefully...

• a vintage missoni or pucci dress- i'm very picky with my pucci prints- i don't like the extremely neon or bright ones.  I LOVED the Pucci dress on the cover of the first issue of Domino where she is holding the cat or dog.


• a fabulous fabulous coat.  i love mk's (don't know the designer):

What is your favorite part about living in Brooklyn / being in NY? work doesn't count because it's obviously awesome, and shopping isn't a fair answer.

i like Brooklyn so much more than manhattan.  the brownstones are BEAUTIFUL!  i love how they look with the fall leaves on the ground now.  i love just wandering the streets and crunching around on the leaves.  i like that they sell nuts on the street (i get the sugar coated coconuts), i like how you can find italian ice everywhere.  i like how each neighborhood is different but so close together.  i like how i can easily take the subway, and easily have a car.

But tell us more about the shopping...what is your favorite new store? a place that you had never been?

i haven't had much time to shop.  i still like the store called Shop in the lower east side but i haven't been there since summer, so its an older favorite.  ny shopping is pretty awesome- there are boutiques everywhere!  i want to go to Butter in brooklyn pretty soon, its not far from me really, and i hear its a great store.

let's do some James Lipton questions...

do you have any sounds or noises you hate?

I know you said you don't curse often -- do you have a favorite curse word?

What profession would you never want to do?

When you go to heaven, what do you want God to say when you get there?

-Favorite museum / experience in a museum?

probably the marc chagall museum near Nice, France.  I got to see beautiful art up close and i went with this guy that i had met randomly on the train, and we just hit it right off (as friends).  he was very funny and cute, and taught me a lot about art.  it was pretty intense- he was in europe searching for the last remaining family members of his last name in a small jewish town wiped out by the holocaust.  it was a strange experience because we were both searching for what we wanted in life, i was unsure with my bf, he was unsure with his ex-gf..and it was weird having emotionally fueled discussions with someone you'd met one day prior.  we just clicked i guess.  he was in maryland randomly some time after the trip, and he came by to say hi, but it just wasn't the same as it was in France...le sigh. 

not sure. they're ok i guess.  i don't see too many live plays.  i've always wanted to see Les Mis (is this a musical? i've seen the movie on tv a few times and there were songs- but it wasn't a full out musical) and Rent.
