A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes

For the longest while, I have been a huge fan of Simon Doonan.  He was actually my inspiration when I was doing visual merchandising at Saks Fifth Avenue.  It all started with Confessions of a Window Dresser.  Then, Nasty, Beautiful People, Eccentric Glamour, and Wacky Chicks happened.  If he weren't involved with Mr. Jonathan Adler, I think boyfriend might be worried.  And then I found out about Gay Men Don't Get Fat. Better yet, there would be a book signing, with Mr. Doonan himself.  Yes, please.  My  heart jumped and I knew I had to RSVP as soon as my little fingers could make the telephone call.  A week later, I met him. And he signed his book, with a giant heart.  I think he knew.


PS-The book is amazing.  You have to buy it. Or else.
