I know it sounds like I'm playing all these wives and girlfriends, but they're not waiting at home. I wear the pants.
I love to simplify and edit the contents of just about anything, but women's closets hold particular appeal to me. I edit mine about four times a year and hold a yearly 'clothing swap' to encourage my girlfriends to do the same.
When I ask the young people from California why they want to go to New York, and the ones from the East why they're determined to go West, I hear what you'd expect: new challenges, different weather, boyfriends, girlfriends, to make a name... They laugh when I say, 'But your poor mother.'
Naturally, I mine my girlfriends' lives for good anecdotes and stories - so many of their experiences find their way into my books.
I have a lot of good girlfriends that I really love, but you know, most of my close friends are men.
Human relationships used to be easy: you had friends, boy- or girlfriends, parents, children, and landlords. Now, thanks to social media, it's all gone sideways.
