I've made more bad decisions at 3 in the morning than I can list!

We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.

I've had my own moments in front of designers when I've actually said, 'You know, there's a market here for expanding your work, and here it is. And frankly, there are two markets: The women who are larger than the 12, and then there are women who are petite. And most designers that I talk to have absolutely no interest in addressing either of those populations, which I find repugnant.

It's not an area where designers want to focus or pay attention - women who are larger than a size 12.

From my own experience, there are so many people who believe that the individual can change. The individual doesn't have to be LGBT.

As I continue to mature and navigate the world, there are so many myths that are dispelled for me.

So perhaps the real secret to style is filling yourself to the absolute brim with engagement. Loving not wisely, but too well and all that.
