RE: SECRET SANTA POLL TIME

atlgirl · Gucci

Favorite Color? Green. Or chocolate brown. Or teal. Or garnet-red.

Favorite Band? hard to pick one. I like a lot of music

Favorite Movie? something with a good story and witty dialogue. i really hate things like ben stiller-type humor. i have a fondness for dry humor; many british movies are very enjoyable for me. i like ensemble films too.

Favorite Beauty Brand? No particular favorite - I use a lot of different brands. I don't really wear shadow but I love eyeliner, esp. cake liner or gel (like Stila smudge pots - just bought my first one (cobalt) and love it! Wouldn't mind the bronze or gray to try).

Favorite Magazine and which ones do you subscribe to? Lucky, also subscribe to In Style and Elle

Favorite Hobby? Shopping, haha. I turned my hobby into a business and it doesn't leave me much time for another hobby. I do love to read when I have the time

Favorite Food? Steak. Or Italian

what are your favorite stores? Nordstrom..Or Dillards, sometimes. I'm not really loyal to a lot of other stores...depends on what I like at any given time.

what DON'T you want? kitchen stuff - I don't cook.

what do you need? nothing, really

Favorite type of music? probably would fall under "alternative", though that's such a broad category. I like a lot of female singers - Tori Amos, Anna Nalick, etc. I don't really like pop music.

Shoe size? 10 (or 9.5, depending).

What colors do you usually use to decorate your house or room? Our house has a lot of deep plum and greens (like a sage green). I also like warm colors - orangey shades, reds, teals. I prefer bold colors over pastels

What kind of jewelry do you like? I design jewelry for a living, but I don't mind other jewelry - I prefer clean, modern looks. Things that are "too fussy" aren't really my style. I don't wear yellow metals, but I love silver. I like larger, statement-y type jewelry

Favorite animals? Horse, fish, birds (I'm a sucker for blown glass clip-on bird ornaments, if that helps)

Least favorite color? yellow or acid green

a little about yourself: I'm 39. I work from home most days and don't get to dress up as much as I'd like to, but that hasn't stopped my love of clothing. I don't really "do" belts because my waist is my least favorite body part. I'm hard to fit in clothes...I love bags and shoes and as mentioned, jewelry. Long dangly earrings or a big cuff-type bracelet are probably my favorite types of jewelry. I like bangles too, but they're tricky because I have larger hands and can't wear most bangles. I like candles - esp. soy candles. I do love to read and am always working on building my library of classic books. These can be classics in the true sense of the word, or what I like to consider "modern classics". I also love books about art and different eras, like Art Deco or Art Nouveau, etc. I'm environmentally oriented, so anything "green" or recycled is a bonus. :)

Least favorite color: Yellow

A little about yourself: I graduated from law school in May... now I'm working as a law clerk for a judge in a very small town in Virginia. The job I have now is temporary, though ... next August I'll probably be working for a law firm in Richmond. I've been married for 3 years, but no kids yet. DH and I travel a lot on the weekends (especially to those places where Lucky has come out with a shopping guide!). I love to try new things, and my next big project is a Master Gardeners class that's beginning next January.

a little about yourself:

I'm a 21 year old fairly recent college grad who does accounting for TV/film. I'm currently working on location so I'm living out of my suitcase. I have a wonderful BF of 5+ years. I'm awkward, quirky, and I am enjoying life as much as I can. I love healthy food, dessert (yeah I realize those two don't generally go together...) New York (my hometown), and I live and die by two sports franchises, the NY Yankess and the USC Trojan football team!
