I read “Street Seen” in The Age every Sunday. I love knowing where people shop, and how they make garments their own. Because I also love a questionnaire, I thought I would give it a go and fill one out myself. Feel free to join me - copy, paste and add your answers in the comments section. J

I ADMIRE THE STYLE OF Lou of course, Christina Hendricks, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield and my fabulous Zia Paulina who taught me that a girl can never have too many clothes. She died without a dime to her name, but left a fantastic wardrobe. Unfortuntely she was 6 feet tall and 110 pounds, so none of it fit me :-(

(designing my own dresses with many fab. dress makers and designers available: NudeeDudee, Jack's Daughter, Jitterbuggin in particular), Anthropologie, Mod Cloth, Trashy Diva my favorite boutique in New Orleans and Ambiance on Upper Haight in San Francisco. Don't even get me started with the clothes for my six year-old.

WHEN I WAS A KID I refused to wear underpants unless they had ruffles on the bum and would only wear dresses until I was 7.
I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD IN anything Kim Kardashian would wear. I think she looks trashy.
