Now that I have opened about about myself, I thought the best idea would be to divert attention to the Glam Network stat! I am starting a new weekly post here on GlamLive to highlight our 300+ Publishers. I will ask the same list of questions to eyerone, and will post their interesting answers here each week! We will learn who has a Ph.D., who wans to escape to a tropical island to lay topless in the surf, and plenty of other entertaining details.
Our first participant in the GlamLive questionnaire is the multi-talented Lesley from Fashiontribes! Here we go…
Let us in on 5 fun facts about you! Well…let’s see. I…
1. grew up in Hong Kong
2. spent two years teaching in Kazakstan (yes, Jagshemash!) as well as Riga (Latvia) & Romania
3. have been to Easter Island
4. used to work as a fashion stylist & on-set tailor in New York
5. love to paint, drink good wine & O.D. on home-makeover shows
What is your favorite item in your closet? My sunglasses!
Fill in the blank: I can’t live without… loved ones, good friends & a frequent belly-laugh (daily, if possible)
What’s your favorite gift to give? It really depends on the recipient. If they love to travel, I’ll give some cool travel gadget. History buffs will get the latest must-have book, while fashionistas get fab accessories. However, when in doubt, a gorgeous candle from Diptyque is always most welcome.
If you could max out your credit card at one shop, which one? Barneys or Takashimaya
What’s one thing every woman should own? In fashion: a Little Black Dress. For travel: a current passport. For communicating in writing: Strunk & White. For everyday: a great bag.
What inspired you to start your blog/site? I had been writing for quite some time for magazines like Marie Claire in Asia, GQ Taiwan, Elle Girl Korea & 25 Ans - but blogging turned out to be a much more fun & friendly.
If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? People-watching & drinking tea in the enormous, but charming, cobblestone-covered Beyazit Square in Istanbul.
Who is your celebrity style mate? Eva Mendes
Do you have any hidden talents? As someone who can argue (in Romanian, no less) with cab drivers in Bucharest, navigate the Moscow subway system, bribe customs officials (Belarus), and flirt their way to a great deal on a hotel room in Sofia (Bulgaria) - I’m the type of traveler you want along on more offbeat vacations.
Name your favorite…
Cocktail: fabulous red wine
Color: fuschia
Band/Singer: Dinah Washington
Fashion Trend: dresses, skirts & the new grownup ladylike vibe
Book: fiction: A Confederacy of Dunces & 100 Years of Solitude; non-fiction: Fingerprints of the Gods
Learn more about the latest trends, affordable fashions, designer details, pop culture pointers and more at Fashiontribes. Thanks, Lesley!
Stay classy,
Annie
P.S. Be sure to check back next week to meet another talented member of the Glam Network.
