About Alex

Loves:

  • Shopping
  • Shoes
  • Handbags
  • Living on the edge of her budget
  • Pop culture, especially anything having to do with consumptive ’80s musicians
  • Surprising people with the occasional glimpse into more cerebral matters — doubtless the detritus of her costly college education

    • Hates:

  • Dark lip liner with light lipstick
  • Big hair (Been there, done that!)
  • Sensible shoes (If they don’t hurt, they can’t possibly look that good.)
  • Editors who don’t believe in clothing allowances

    • Is:

  • A fashion writer for a weekly news magazine
  • Smart
  • Shallow — but in a good way, I swear!
  • Always, always, always well-accessorized


    • And one more thing…
    Alex is the protagonist of the upcoming chick-lit novel, Some Like It Haute, published by Warner Books in February 2006. She’s also the more vapid, much less responsible — and highly fictionalized — alter ego of writer Julie K.L. Dam.
