What I Do, Job-wise: Beauty and health director [Health Critic! Jeez. ] for xoJane.com (more beauty than health, honestly).

What I Do, Fun-wise: I go to clubs and parties; I read a lot; I love art and galleries; and I hang out with magazine girls, night people, derel artists, and a few sociopaths.

My Motto: "LET IT BLEED"

My Anti-Motto: Anything my Republican psychiatrist dad ever told me. Like literally anything.

The First Movie Star I Ever Had A Crush On: BAMBI!

My “celebs to make out with” list: I mean, in general I'm trying to phase out kissing on the mouth but I will say Sharon Stone, Keanu Reeves, Tinsley Mortimer, and Pete Doherty. ...I actually don't want to make out with Pete, just be his BFF. Right?!

The Most Played Song On My iTunes: There's a live version of "Ashes to Ashes" that kills me.

Last Book I Read Without Skimming Any Parts: "The Warhol Diaries". I read all of Andy's books over and over. I am  a big reader; it's my favorite thing to do.

My Most Worn Item of Clothing: dirty white jeans, dirty white tanks tops, flats, dirty Balenciaga bags, rosaries, Ralph Lauren mens polos, disgusting t-shirts, vintage punk rock t-shirts, Lanvin tote bags, Indian print floaty stuff, loads of cheap beaded and leather bracelets, furs, Raybans, glimmery mini skirts, Chloe motorcycle boots, Dior Homme mesh tank tops and black leather Goldsign jeans.

Beauty Products That I Hoard: YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick (in the bright red shades), Prestige Cosmetics black eyeliner, Bobbi Brown concealers, Pure Fiji body oil, Hair U Wear Clip-in Hair Extensions (what?!) 

I smell like: Colette Black Musk Oil, Clean Perfume, Body Shop Coconut Body Butter, Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen SPF whatever (year-round just to smell beachy).

I Have Faked An Orgasm (Yes/No): I love faking orgasms.
