I hope this blog finds everyone feeling lovely about the impending holidays
A few weeks ago I won an award and had to list a few items about myself. One of them being that my bff is royal. I've decided rather than keeping her to myself (she is truly my go to girl for all things stylish), I'd share some of her insights with you today through an interview I conducted with The Countess. Hermes is an interesting breed of eccentric-she wouldn't be caught dead wearing Lilly Pulitzer and she has never read The Official Preppy Handbook. However, one of the main characters in my novel, Social Climbers, is loosely based on her and she LOVED my book! Please don't be offended by her blunt answers-she is a countess after all and one of the first insights she shared with me is that titled aristocracy can be vulgar. I figured if I can put up with her for the past 20 years you all will live with one little blog. Without further ado I introduce The Countess Hermes Herman:
"What do you think of when you think of the word preppy?" HH-pink and green blood running through your varicose veins
"Who are your style icons and please don't use anyone with the initial JBKO?" HH-The Countess Puni Vacarri
"What is your go to elegant outfit?" HH-All of my outfits!
"What are your favorite chic items for clothes and for the home?" HH-All of my homes and clothes are chic...while you're at it so are my yachts.
"Do you have a favorite stylish movie?" HH-Gone with the Wind
"What tacky behavior do you deplore in others?" HH-Gossiping
"Motto?" HH-Beth is a whore! LOL only kidding....It Takes One Generation to make a fortune, it takes Five to make a Gentlemen.
So there you have it. That is Hermes! I love her, she is my best friend in the whole world. She has a huge heart but she can be a Bitch! And think how hard it is for me to Christmas shop for her.
Let me know if you have any questions for The Countess??? She really has been to The Grimaldi's in Monaco!

Ha-sterical!!!! I can't believe I spoke with her on the phone only a few short days ago!! When I figured out that she was talking about you she mentioned that the book is based loosly on her and I gasped and said that I was honored to be talking to a celebrity!! (She never mentioned that she was a countess!!!) But now I think I'M pretty cool for talking to her!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou two must have SUCH fun adventures together!!!!!!

What ever happened to this Countess? I know this is an old post, but we have not heard anything of her since. Did she turn out to be a Clark Rockefeller?
