I first learned about Women's History Museum around the time I moved to New York and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I have vivid memories of being fresh to NYC and seeing a performance/fashion show of theirs at the Ukrainian National Home in the East Village and being blown away by the world they’ve created. Mattie and Amanda are true icons!

It adds mystique. We played a show at Market Hotel recently and I wore a pair during the performance and just putting them on helped me get into the zone. Added bonus: no one knows who you’re looking at.

I like my makeup splotchy, a little chaotic, and smudged to perfection. I want it to look like I just made out with someone and/or just had a good cry. Once I’ve smeared enough colors around, I usually add touches of glitter to tie the look together.

New York is so noisy and so are my thoughts. I’m super into putting a white noise machine on to go to sleep or when I need some privacy from the outside world. I also love using the white noise generator from my synth to add gratuitous bleeps and bloops on our songs.

Cansei De Ser Sexy. Their song “Music is my Hot, Hot Sex” is iconic, and I remember hearing it in an iPod commercial. Everything about CSS is so fun and playful, from the lyrics to their live performances.

My style continues to waver between figure skating queen / haunted doll / tragic ballerina. White tights are my staple accessory that works for any of these. Bonus points if they’re a little dingy and ripped.

My friend Rachel Lime turned me on to DHM supplements this past summer. I am sometimes susceptible to the “placebo effect”, but I’m like 85% sure they work. I definitely don’t feel worse in the morning.

Nanas about a chance encounter on a train to Tokyo between two girls whose names both happen to be Nana. Crazy right? It’s about friendship, love and making it in the music scene. So relatable. The music and style is really cool too. As soon as I saw Nana O wearing Vivienne Westwood (RIP) jewelry, I was hooked.

My first apartment in New York was on St. Marks Place and 1st Ave, which is just around the corner from Planet Rose. I love karaoke and I hope they’re around forever! Last time I went I performed American Life by Madonna and it was a hit.
