I get these high-waisted Lollipop underpants in three-packs from old-lady bra shops on the Upper West Side.

I was obsessed with theseGoodybows when I was little. Now I find them on eBay.

This wig was made for me at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. It’s all real hair.

I’m best friends with Adam Selman, and he makes these tubesocks, which I’m completely obsessed with. The quality is so nice and cushion-y and thin. Plus, the initials of his company is A.S.S., which is printed on the ankle of these. So I’ve been sending them to assholes lately.

I cannot live without pom-poms. I put them on everything: pillows, lamps.

I buy a ton of plain white matchbooks so I can decorate them myself. A must-have.

My friendTodd Oldhammakes the best — and my most favorite —constructionpaper.

This is the best glue for if you’re decoupaging, and you don’t want it to gum up. I like to think of it as a little hidden secret.

This is one of my favorite books about decorating. I used it for inspiration when I was working on my TV show.

I likethisbecause it’s large and has coconut in it. And because it rolls on.

I have 13 bottles of Comme des Garçons’ Avignonperfume, just in case they ever stop making it.

Gerlasan works well, but I buy this because the illustration makes me laugh. It’s a hand applyingcreamto another hand.

Buly 1803 makes the most beautifulsoaps. My brother David bought me the perfume version of this Tuberose one.

I use this herbal laxative to steam my pores; I’ve never found anything better. Some people use it in tea when they’re constipated.

I keep this enzymesprayin every room of my house: bathroom, living room, bedroom, plus two in my office. I just spray it on all the time, whenever I look at it.

My favoritebody lotionis also from Epicuren, it’s called After Bath Moisturizer. I like the Kukui Coconut scent. I use it every day, often twice.

I’m obsessed with Epsom salts, obsessed with them. I take Epsom baths all the time.

The exact ones they used to use at the haunted Heathman Hotel.

My rabbit, Tina, constantly chews theselinenbedspreads up. Which means I buy about four sets a year.

I have an abundance ofL brackets, so I can put up shelves to hold all my stuff. Straight guys love L brackets. Every time a straight guy comes over he says, “I wish you had some L brackets, so I could help you put up some shelves.” And I say, “well I have an abundance of L brackets!”

My small box of small hats says small hats on it. I also have two boxes filled with googly eyes: one fancy, one not.

I bought the tiger rug in my bedroom at John Derian. It sits at the foot of my bed.

I get my beeswax candles from a church-supply site. Greek Orthodox churches have the most beautiful candles, so I figured a church supply website would be the place to go. I was right.

But I also love Cire Trudone’s Ernestocandle. I’m really serious about lighting candles for people when they come over. And this one burns really nicely.

I got these little chair socks in Tokyo. They go on the legs of your furniture.

I also have a large collection of doll wigs. This one looks like a mole.

World of Interiorsis my favorite magazine, it’s the only one I get in the mail. I look at it, then I hand it off to my friend Paul Dinello.

I’m obsessed with emptyboxes, it’s the one thing I want to change about myself but cannot. When we were doingSex and the City,I used to ask Sarah Jessica for her boxes, because she had amazing ones from Manolo and Hermès. Santa Maria Novella boxes are really good. They’re the perfect size for, say, a dead mouse.

These are a big extravagance for Tina. I call them her french fries. She rarely gets them, because it’s too much sugar. She also occasionally eats a tiny raisin, and in the morning, she gets half a banana slice. She’s a lucky rabbit.

My kitchen is rife with fake meats: Cornish hens, rib roasts.

I bought this frosty fake beer in the restaurant district in Tokyo. I got four, but I really should have gotten more.
