These will forever remind me of getting ready with my West Side LA Girlies in the mid 2000s on a Friday night, a bedroom strewn with mall clothes and cosmetics, all packing into one black JETTA. As we drive down Sunset Blvd. past the Jesus sculpture in front of our all-girls high school, the burned CD mix oscillates between Ludacris, Felix Da Housecat, and Britney Spears. We are all screaming. We get to house party of some kid in the valley that gets shut down by the cops, and back into the car we go, to a lookout on the bluffs where the city lights twinkle back at us.
Someone’s mom was onto something. To this day these are my favorite underwear. So comfortable and inspiring! When I do my hand wash they hang together like a rainbow mobile sculpture. Every morning to choose a color is to choose a mood, an aura imprimatura.
Hanky Panky was started when Gale Epstein made her best friend Lida Orzek a bra-and-bikini set for her birthday present in 1977 out of embroidered handkerchiefs. Everything is made in the USA and they are a green company. Long wear for a long life. Goddess bless!

My favorite lingerie brand turned into my favorite brand period at this point. I wear their clothes/lingerie for my shows, to go out for lunches with my girlfriends, to shoot for my press photos. I am a loyal customer, I am on their website 4 times per week, I even made a song inspired by how this brand made me feel. I imagined myself being a dom call girl who rides a motorcycle to my appointments at Chateau Marmont, CHIC.

She’s a naughty girl with a bad habit, a bad habit for slips. Peach, champagne, spearmint, aquamarine, bubblegum, midnight, whatever your poison, you can’t go wrong with a 1930s silk slip. Slither into that slinky boudoir mindset. You are a lounge lizard. Wear them barefoot in the summer or under a cardi with big boots and tights in cooler/ arctic months. Illisa’s Vintage Lingerie in NYC is the goat.

At 27 I got dumped in the way that changes your life forever and one way I changed mine was buying full coverage underwear for the first time since I hit puberty. The high rise on these goes right under the belly button and they don’t ride up your ass. I think it’s like $12 for a 6 pack and if Costco ever stops selling them I will organize a die-in.

My grandma’s word for word response when I asked her if she had any advice for living a long life. She lived to be 99 years old. Rest in Paradise Donna.

I am obsessed with this Art Deco Extraordinaire, a Polish-born painter whose glamorous figurative compositions came to life in 1920s-30s Paris. Influenced by Cubism and Neoclassicism, her works—especially her portraits of women—blend beauty, strength, modernity, and a timeless cosmopolitan flair. After leaving Paris, she continued her career in New York, Hollywood, and Mexico, marking her as a truly international woman of her time. Also she was bisexual - her close friend and lover Ira Perrot, a French poet, was a main muse and appears in several of her paintings. Stunning, just stunning!
