I love everything fabulous-- stilettos, creme brulee, shocking colors, the shiniest of lipglosses, and a really good cage fight. If it's not pink, I probably don't own it and it's loud, I'm dancing to it. I love my family, my friends and my clients, because they all keep me grounded. And I've never met a martini I didn't like ;)
