In case Vanity Fair never gets around to asking me…
Whaddya want? I’ve been combing through my five-month backlog of magazines. Inspiration comes where it comes.
My stuff | communicatrix
GROOMING PRODUCTS
Shampoo: Whatever is on sale that I also have a coupon for.
Moisturizer: Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Cream
Hair product: Bumble & Bumble Curl Conscious
Cologne: Whatever I’ve walked through, sat in or rubbed up against (i.e., none).
Toothpaste: Tom’s of Maine (whichever one is on sale)
ELECTRONICS
Cell phone: Nokia (I had to check to see)
Computer: Mac G5 and PowerBook G4
Television: a used RCA (again, had to check) I bought for a hundred bucks five years ago off my friend, Mikon
Stereo: None—I use my Mac. And shitty speakers. Which I bought with a gift card accrued via an incentive program.
HOME
Sheets: Dunno. They’re white, they’re cotton, they’re 300 thread count, they’re ancient. But they were definitely on sale (with a coupon!)
Coffeemaker: machinetta from Cost Plus
Car: Toyota Corolla (my third)
BEVERAGES
Water: I have a tap filter I bought from my pal, Shelly. But for a treat I buy Dasani, Sparkletts or occasionally, Fiji (that bottle rules). For the record, Dannon tastes like ass and Evian tastes like plastic. Fave sparking water? Pellegrino, hands down.
Coffee: at home—Trader Joe’s Bay Blend (leaded); Coffee Bean Espresso Roast (unleaded); out, Americano from Caffe Latte
Alcohol: Knob Creek or Macallan
CLOTHES
Jeans: Gap, usually.
Watches: Have several; never wear ‘em.
T-shirt: Gap Favorite in heather gray, XS
Underwear: whatever’s on sale; Hanro, if someone else is buying
Briefcase or tote: Series of huge, cheap purses, a backpack and an ancient canvas tote with the logo of the company I worked my last day job at.
Sneakers: Converse All-Stars for hanging; Saucony for running
Signature look: “Just rolled out of bed”
FAVORITE PLACE
San Simeon, CA
NECESSARY EXTRAVAGANCE
Good headshots.

No, those are GREAT headshots! I’m totally with you on the Pellegrino and Dasani. And, yes, Dannon does taste like ass…but alas, it’s all they sell at the snack shack at my neighborhood beach (and I added that just so I could get my Gidget groove on and say ’snack shack.’)
Sneakers…might have to buy some now that I’ll have to occasionally wear something besides flip-flops and bare feet.
My vibe is also a ‘rolled out of bed’ sort of look. When I chopped a bunch of my hair off a couple of years ago the best part of my new cut was that I could walk out the door without so much as running a comb or brush through it, bringing my grooming routine down to…um, non-existent.
You may have started a meme whether you wanted to or not…but those headshots are gonna be hard to top. :)
