I am a mother and I have been divorced, and I love fashion and the Upper East Side.

I'd been brought up on the Upper East Side in a WASP society, which was death on crutches.

Everybody ought to have a lower East Side in their life.

I am attracted to the dark side of life!

I am tough but I have a soft side.

I love Hermes, Lanvin, Brunello Cucinelli, Reed Krakoff, Alice + Olivia and Nanette Lepore.
