Desires

Wishlists: My wishlists are an insight into my personality, hobbies and tastes—and a surefire way of getting my attention.

trinkets, treasures, lingerie, dresses & jewelry

books and useful items

Treats & Drinks: My engine runs on black coffee, mint tea and the occasional green juice. Always pleased by liters of sparkling water (Pellegrino or Gerolsteiner are my favorite) and a decadent cheese & charcuterie plate.

Books: American history is always a safe bet with me, double points for an obscure book on the Civil War or Reconstruction. Something special from Bauman Rare Books—especially first-edition memoirs of political or military worthies—drop me to my knees.

Clothing & Lingerie: If you’d like to play dress-up please send along a gift card to Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue (for fancy) or Vuori (for comfy).

For lingerie, a gift card to Sugar Cookies NYC is in order. Though we could just book a private appointment instead…

Jewelry & Coins: I covet anything that can be sewn into a coat hem and traded for safe passage at a border (loose rubies, Krugerrands, etc) but I am easily pleased by gold earrings, tennis bracelets, cuffs, small chains. Anything you’d find glimmering in a Viking burial horde.

Trinkets: I enjoy small leather goods (cases, wallets, pouches), a novel travel gadget, and any historical ephemera… for example issues of Harper’s from the 1890s, propaganda leaflets your grandfather brought back from the Eastern front, George Washington’s wooden teeth. Relics of far times and places.

Preferences

Dining: I’m a flexible diner with no allergies. Steakhouses, Korean barbecue, Greek, Ethiopian, sushi—I like it rich, spicy and novel.

Activities: Let’s get out and explore! I’m an active person and not one to sit still for too long. Let’s visit a science museum, go dig through an archive or find a local history tour. Always ready for day trip for boating, fishing, flying or shooting; if you’re ready for a rush let’s take a helicopter tour or go drive a tank through the mud. Onward!

Accommodation: The nicer the hotel, the happier the girl. Ask me for my favorites in NYC: its’s a wonderland of elegant hospitality. I like big windows, natural light, and a gorgeous bathroom with a soaking tub built for two.
