I resonate big time with Nina's vintage take on life, her loose-fitting way in the world, and her adaptability. Our peers have indeed lived a charmed existence. Isn't it interesting how we thought it would always be that way?
Your “mother’s older sister Mae, who did her own manicure the day before she died so that for her funeral no one else would have to…”. Puh puh puh. May her memory be a blessing.
Nina, I miss my Norma Kamali blouses all the damn time. They were gorgeous, even if the shoulder pads were the size of loaves of bread. I love your writing, and I always do. You inspire me. (Also, nice nod to "bomber [jet] planes." :) )
Great interview. I hope Nina has another thirty years to do whatever she wants.

Love this!

Oh, this one is fantastic. I want to hang out with Nina!
Wonderful interview. Encourages me to rise and tackle the day, and to buy her book. Id love to spend more time with her mind.
