What brought you to New York?  Work.

What do you love about the city? It never sleeps.

What do you hate? When people don't pick up after their dog. (gross!)

What's your definition of a New Yorker? Anyone who can be comfortable being themselves, and not judge others.

Best or worst New York moment? The worst was when I almost fainted on the L train going to work one morning.  The best just happened today. There are kids who run and scream up and down the stairs all day on the weekends and a neighbor just stepped out of her apartment to yell "Shut the fuck up!" I have been wanting to do that for months.

What three things are you addicted to right now?  Fashion, the next big thing, and 24-hour delivery.

What one New York job would you want to do, if you weren't who you are? New York Socialite.

Where do you see yourself in five years?  New York, in a bigger apartment, with the early signs of aging.

If God were an animal, what would it be? An eagle because he/she would fly to the highest heights and watch over all of us.

What do you think the difference is between faith and religion? Faith is whatever one freely feels in their heart and soul. Religion is what one is told to believe.
