Biggest Fashion Mistake: The entire 1980s! The shoulder pad felt so right at the time and was just so wrong. Carber shoes and Wayne Rogers printed shirts were all the rage in the 1970s. Ewww. Does anyone remember wearing baby keys off their jeans in the 1970s? Why I ask.
Favorite Film: "Scarface" and all the mafia movies.
Last Read: "50 Shades of Grey." All three.
Best Vacation: I took our entire family away for Bobby's birthday on a one-week cruise to the Caribbean from NYC. We had a 5,000-square-foot suite with our own pool. We have 30 family members and everyone had an T shirt that said " I Love Bobby." So much fun!
