So you’re a gossip-magazine fan?
It’s my little addiction. My favorite page is “Who Wore It Best?” They always pick the people who are skinnier or more famous, but I still like to see the outfits.
Have you been tanning your entire life?
Yep. I’m from Texas, so there’s sun year-round there. And if you’re not in the sun, you’re fake-baking.
