Or...
"And if that is sold out, I am jonesing for the Barneys exclusive Stutterheim black rubber coat. How about both?!"

What would be the perfect stocking stuffer for you?
"Something from the Baz Dazzled Baz Luhrmann Holiday collaboration. The Baz backgammon set would hit the spot. I have started playing again. It's a last-ditch attempt to keep my brain perky and functioning and lively!"

What's the most surprising thing on your wishlist?
"Jonny and I are going to get a new dog soon. Our beloved Liberace passed away in September at the age of 16. We are going to get a rescue. Maybe he/she will just appear on our doorstep at Christmas...or Chanukah."

What's something you're tired of people buying you?
"Sometimes people buy us pottery. Can you believe? We have a house full of Jonny's gorgeous creations. Do we need more vases?"

What's the best thing money can't buy?
"Watching English soccer games on the telly with my nephew and screaming at the screen. This is totally the best feeling, especially when Chelsea are winning."
