About Me
Lily Q lives and obsesses about clothes in New York's West Village, where a myriad of tempting stores and pretty dresses threaten to leave her living in a box much like a hobo. When not crying silently about how little time and how many shoes there are, Lily is writing about it.
You can also check her out on TheFrisky.com, The Local blog (Brooklyn version) at The New York Times and her own blog, Lily Q Talks Clothes. She could easily have written this bio in the first person but prefers that special variety of douchiness that comes with writing in the third person.
Professional
I'm Known For...
Writing about clothes with the vocabulary of a particularly dirty sailor.
My Current Project
I'm a bit of a craft nerd. Currently a lover of jewelry making (not like a hippie though) and decoupaging furniture.
My Greatest Achievement
I held the conference high jump record for almost two years after high school. Of course, my conference was full of white kids from private schools so this means almost nothing.
My Biggest Regret
Morning cake. That's never a good choice.
I Truly Respect
People who make decisions and then follow through on a regular basis. That's important.
Moments I'd Like To Forget
My mother trying to tell me about "when, umm, boys and girls love each other." Shut it down.
How I Pay For This Wardrobe
Tricking.
Blocks I've Been Around
Doesn't this question sound so dirty?
Things That Really Happened
I was almost eaten alive by a shark once. I had to fight away death like a ninja. Or maybe a shark just swam by me and I almost pissed myself. It's difficult to remember.
Where I'd Like To Be 10 Years From Now
Somewhere less tragic than an old refrigerator box in the park, staving off predators with nothing more than bad breath and limited social skills.
Why True/Slant
Because they let me write what I want, allowing me to believe that other people care about shoes as much as I do. So basically self-delusion.

Personal
What I'm Currently Addicted To...
Ankle boots. I love them. More than my family. Sorry, mom.
This Is Annoying Me...
People asking me what Twitter is. (Follow my really sporadic tweets at twitter.com/LilyQ)
This Is Making Me Worry...
I will be an official Grown Up soon and that's suddenly becoming just a little bit worrisome.
I'm Running From...
Did you read the shark thing under "Things That Really Happened"? Still true. Still badass.
This Is Helping Me Create...
Insomnia
This Makes My Teeth Itch
Cardboard scraping cardboard is far worse than nails on a chalkboard. And filth. I don't much like filth.
Can't Do Without
My computer. I'm a shameless internet geek.
My Most Awkward Moment
This isn't really worth answering, it changes so frequently.
