Capturing the moment I'm in and saving it in my mind like a film clip. Eating ice cream when it's cold out, eating ice cream when it's hot out, letting my poodle Movie Star share my ice cream. Being on stage in front of as many people as possible (spotlight addiction) and backstage with my girls! I LOVE Paris and reading Colette while I'm there. I engage in several conversations a week with my friends that over 70 years old (hanging out with older people is like getting a postcard from your future). My cheese enchilada's are bi-coastal famous. Travelling is like taking a nap from the mundane. I sigh with relief everytime I go to Coney Island.
Music
My absolute favorite group EVER is The Cure!!!! I love 80's (Missing Persons, Siouxsie, Nina Hagen, etc...), Country Western / Honky Tonk (Red Foley, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Wanda Jackson, Patsy Cline), Jazz ( Billie Holiday, Ella, Dinah Washington, etc..). My new favorite bands are The White Stripes and Vulgaras. I am experiencing a renewed obsession with This Mortal Coil and The Dead Kennedy's. Peggy Lee is my favorite singer.
