My family: I live with my sister, Kelli, and three cats: Frank Sinatra, Max, and Gus.

My work: george public relations; a boutique PR firm I founded that works with independent companies in the beauty, fashion, and lifestyle industries.  We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary! georgepublicrelations.com

My favorite possession: My grandmother’s opal earrings.  They were a gift from my Papa to her on their 25th wedding anniversary.  They’re exquisite.

I’m thinking about: What the next five years of my life will bring.

Words I live by: “Even when people don’t have anything, they have their bodies and their clothes.” Miuccia Prada.

I can’t live without: Music. I’m constantly creating new playlists.

What keeps me awake at night: My growing to-do list.

If I could be totally wild, I would: Pick up everything and travel the world.

Favorite web site: style.com for the fashion; dailycandy.com for the clever writing.

Last major purchase: A pair of Christian Louboutin pumps.

I still can’t get the hang of: Whistling.

My first job: Was the antithesis of fashion: I worked in a sporting goods store.

What are you most vain about?  My strawberry-blonde locks.

Always... put your best face forward.

Never... say never.
