My favorite films are: Bad Education, School of Flesh, The Red Shoes, KIKA, High Heels, Thesis, and Old Boy. I love the movie Swimming Pool. Suspicion (1941) is an amazing oldie. I enjoy movies that challenge the stereotypes that are ingrained in our subconscious.
Television
Books
Lolita, Lolita, Lolita!
I gorge on novels daily. Some books that I've enjoyed are - Ernesto Quiñonez's Bodega Dreams, You Are Not A Stranger Here, Everyday Psychokillers: A History for Girls, Anais Nin's diary, Notes from Underground, The Great Gatsby, Notes on A Scandal, The House of Mirth, American Psycho, Less Than Zero, Lunar Park, Play It As It Lays, White Oleander, The Virgin Suicides, Babyji, 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, anything by Vladimir Nabokov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde, Toni Morrison or Amy Tan. I also love short pieces by Tom Crawford. If you are unfamiliar with his experimental work I would advise you to indulge...it's delicious. One of my favorite writers on the planet is Adam Haslett. His short story "The Beginnings of Grief" is brillant and can be found at the following link: http://www.barcelonareview.com/32/e_ah.htm Another fascinating story that is being turned into a feature film and was featured in the New Yorker is "The Smoker" by David Schickler - http://www.newyorker.com/archive/content/?030616fr_archive02
Heroes
My mother, Mata Hari, Wallis Simpson, the Sirens, the muses, La Caridad Del Cobre, Coco Chanel, and Jackie O.
...Say yes to fun disguises...
And boys who know how to kiss...
As well as dressing up for galas and events
And never forget the movies that make you feel like a girly girl
About me:
http://www.devorahrose.blogspot.com/
I am the Editor-in-Chief of Social Life Magazine. If you frequent the Hamptons in the summer, pick up a copy! It's the hottest mag out there.
While working at the magazine, I am also getting an MFA from Columbia University and writing my second novel.
I believe in grizzly beauty.
And the healing power of genius vision.
I love my family.

Who I'd like to meet: *Tyler Durden*
My ideal dinner guests would be - Angelina Jolie, Vladamir Nabokov, Pedro Almodovar, Tom Crawford, Emily Dickinson, Winston Churchill, Ernesto Quiñonez, Adam Haslett, and David Ebershoff. (I can't expect Axl to sit through dinner and play nice). I am always interested in meeting up and coming models and photographers for future magazine issues.

My Dearest Devorah - I hope you managed to finish your project! I didn't want to bother you yesterday, but I am so sorry we didn't have the chance to meet up for some sushi. Next time I will give you more time.
Hey love! You and BC look great. We haven't seen each other in over a week. I think that's the longest we've gone. Withdrawals are beginning....love you!
