choices accessories given
Given the choice, I would spend my money on accessories.
noise walks
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.
gay blessing people
I'm delighted that gay people want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.
hair done get-away
If your hair is done properly you can get away with anything
connections looks use
I live in the 17th century. I don't have a computer. I don't look at the internet. I use a cellphone, and that's about my only connection to the modern world.
dream husband choices
Caviar used to be my drug of choice, but since my husband is on a no-salt diet, I've kind of given it up. I still have dreams of sitting down and gorging, though. I love it with a good vodka; I don't like it with champagne.
nice looks hot
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
years eyeglasses accessories
I used to collect frames. I've been collecting accessories since I was 11-years-old, creeping around flea markets and sales and everything. Whenever I saw unusual eyeglass frames, I bought them.
shoes important world
To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
chance kind plans
Everything that's happened to me, nothing's been planned. I've never had a business plan. I just kind of fell into it, and I liked it, and I took a chance. I took a lot of chances in my life.
well-dressed wells comfortable
It's better to be happy and comfortable than well dressed.
fashionista small-parts
I don't count myself as a fashionista because I do a lot of other things. That's just a small part of my life.
fun lying thinking
I think dressing up or down should be a creative experience. Exciting. Fun. For me the key to personal style lies in accessories. I love objects from different worlds, different eras, combined my way. Never uptight, achieving - hopefully - a kind of throwaway chic
rebel
I'm not going to be a rebel and offend anybody, but I'm not going to live in somebody else's image.
