But, if that's too stuffy for you, here's a slightly more casual About Me. 

I figured I'd answer some ice breaker questions, and of course, they're from Forbes because I'm nothing if not a wannabe #BossBitch. 


What's the first concert you attended? 

- I was 9 years old, it was Kansas, at a rib-fest. I heard an electric violin for the first time. Truly, I peaked, nothing has compared since. 


What's your favorite 90's show? 

-DARN! This is a hard one, I'm partial to The Nanny, and Frasier because both incorporate my favorite things, high fashion and physical comedy. 


What's the first career you dreamed of having as a child?

- I full heartedly wanted to be an Elvis Tribute Artist, or as uneducated Elvis fans call it, an impersonator. 


If you could instantly become an expert in anything, what would it be? 

- Oh boy, I love history but specifically the western Industrial Revolution, give me an exorbitantly long biography and I'm set. 


How can someone win a gold star with you? 

- Be kind, and for the love of god, don't paint an old staircase banister white.
