who is your favorite socialite right now?
The Imaginary one.
what are the normal business hours of a typical fashion & entertainment blogger?
10:30am to 6pm, in the office. From 6 to 8pm, cocktail parties. 8pm to midnight, real parties. Then run home, write about it, fall asleep and do it all over again.
do you remember your first icon? what was it about him/her?
I think it must've been my mother. I was captivated by photos my dad had taken of her back in the '70's. She was so casual but so amazingly cool, like long wide leg jeans and skinny ribbed sweaters and she had long, straight hair and lots of gold bangles. I guess everyone's mom looked like that in the '70's, but it still sticks with me. I'll forever be married to wide leg jeans, merino wool turtlenecks and black kohl eyeliner.
you've become the eyes and ears of this institution. what's the most overused word in the industry? "Wearable." And most overused word from people who think they're in the industry is "fabulous."
what's the most usable phrase overheard at Nylon headquarters?
"Heyyyyyyyy."
if there was a web documentary made about "Faran Fashionista" (totally made that up, for the record), what would a typical day and night be like?
It would have to be a cartoon, because I don't think I'd let cameras follow me around. It would involve some sort of almost-Disney princess floating through parties, getting rather bored or disenchanted and calling little birdies and mice to make her a great pair of jeans. At the end she would escape to a secret rock club and the ever-hopeful musical numbers would be written by Duncan Sheik or Green Day.
how's it feel to be page six magazine's 'six in the city' spy? and if you had to pick one for the rest of your life, cindy adams or perez hilton?
It's great, the things I get to write are really fun and it's fascinating to learn the inner workings of a major newspaper. Actually, I've never met Cindy Adams, but I think Mario (that's Perez) is really, really sweet in person.
what did you wear to work today?
A Diane Von Furstenberg long-sleeve cotton shirt dress, vintage purple resin bangles, navy blue Converse low-tops and blue nail polish (Dior) painted over black nail polish (Wet & Wild).
what is your bag and what's in it?
My bag is a deep red Miu Miu and inside is...
-Louis Vuitton pochette that holds my wallet (Le Sportsac), Chapstick, business cards, my keys and iPhone
- A small bag of almonds
- My passport, because I just got my license renewed.
- A mix CD I just made for my friend Helen.
- My camera
- Tylenol
