You're lucky if you come from Manhatten. You're lucky if you come from Europe. And you're lucky if you come from California. I suppose being Californian is glamorous. We live by the beach, we're always the most beautiful, and we learn to be driven. It has been a constant reality of mine to be cruising in the backseat of a convertible by the beach with the roof down feeling sexy. I feel sexy when I live in California. It is always warm so you wear less clothes. Water is a constant part of your life. It wets your skin, your hair, and clings your clothes to your body. I spent three years going to college by the beach. At lunch I would go to the beach and stare at the tide. The ebb and the flow is like sex: slow and fast--sublime. And wet. I drink cherry coke and wear sunglasses. "Like" is a staple of my language. I am Californian.
