<strong>Q: </strong> What do you think is the biggest fashion faux pas? <br> <strong>A: </strong> "Working Girl"/Tess McGill sneakers with tube socks. I get that working in a big city's concrete jungle makes wearing heels everywhere tough but ladies, really?

<strong>Q: </strong> Who are your favorite designers/brands? <br> <strong>A: </strong> Stella McCartney, Generra, Dior Homme (yes, girls can wear this in their smallest sizes), Halston Heritage, Free City.

<strong>Q: </strong> Who's your fashion icon? <br> <strong>A: </strong> It's a mash up between Cherie Currie ("The Runaways") circa 1976, Peggy Lipton ("The Mod Squad") circa 1968, Farrah Fawcett circa 1977, Brigitte Bardot circa 1956 and Priscilla Presley circa 1970.

<strong>Q: </strong> Who's your favorite performing artist? <br> <strong>A: </strong> Stevie Nicks, I'm a super fan. My dog, "Stevie" is named after her, my late cat "Gypsy" was named one of her songs, two of my rescued hamsters were named "Fleetwood" and "Mac" and my house in LA is called "Rhiannon"

<strong>Q: </strong> Heels or flats? <br> <strong>A: </strong> Heels when I'm out on the town. Converse when I'm chillaxin.

<strong>Q: </strong> Favorite movie of all time? <br> <strong>A: </strong> "The Way We Were" The ending ALWAYS makes me cry.

<strong>Q: </strong> What's your favorite fashion trend for fall? <br> <strong>A: </strong> Capes, who doesn't look cool in a cape? Good enough for superheroes good enough for me!

<strong>Q: </strong> Who's your celeb crush male? <br> <strong>A: </strong> It makes NO sense politically -- I know! -- but Kid Rock.

<strong>Q: </strong> Who's your celeb crush female? <br> <strong>A: </strong> Joan Jett

<strong>Q: </strong> What celebrity dead or alive would you like to have dinner with? <br> <strong>A: </strong> The biggest "celebrity" of all time, Jesus. I have faith. I have to believe he exists but he's definitely got some 'splainin' to do!

<strong>Q: </strong> If you won 1 billion dollars tomorrow, what would you do? <br> <strong>A: </strong> I would march into every animal shelter I could find, pull every last animal out and declare, "Babies, it's time to come home". Ugh, that just made me teary.

<strong>Q: </strong> How often do you change up your own style? <br> <strong>A: </strong> The decade that I gravitate towards style-wise is always the 70's. However, sometimes I switch it up seasonally and get really into a 60's groove or a retro pin up look from the 30's/40's.

<strong>Q: </strong> How do you balance your work and professional lives? <br> <strong>A: </strong>I always carve out time to give undivided attention to my "kids" even if its just a quick trip to the park or a late night snuggle.

<strong>Q: </strong> How long have you been involved in the animal rights movement? <br> <strong>A: </strong> I would say that being a part of the animal rights movement has been something that has been in my consciousness since I can remember. I started my first activist club in grade school. It's an honor and a privilege to work with animal groups such as Peta, Mercy For Animals, Farm Sanctuary, Animal Acres, etc.

<strong>Q: </strong> How do you feel about animal rights? <br> <strong>A: </strong> I truly believe that one day animals will have the rights that they deserve, most importantly the right to live free from suffering.
