Do the bangs!

I’ve been reading the questionnaire for a long time, and hands down this is my favorite one. Maybe try some long curtain bangs before committing to full Bertinelli

Absolutely spoke to (63-year-old-would-be-author) me! Love the interview. Love Laura Dickerman’s perspective.

"Yes" is always the correct answer to "Bring back the Valerie Bertinelli bangs?"

Loved this interview.

This made me laugh in so many places, especially Valerie Bertinelli bang envy, and I got to wistful about the black cowboy boots I bought in college in NY in the early 80s and wore holes (back then you could get them resoled and I did). Thanks and Cheers to you Laura and congratulations on the book!

Such fantastic answers! Makes me realise I need to figure out what my personal green cowboy boots are...

I love these answers so much! Laura has such optimism and sense of celebration, of choosing to be present and also looking forward to what’s ahead. HOT DESK is as joyous and wise as this q&a ❤️

ps yes to bangs & double yes to moving back to NYC!

You sound pretty fun. A bit too strong for me, but perfect for you.
