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.

Clothing & Lingerie: If you’d like to play dress-up with me, please send along a gift card to Nordstrom or TheRealReal (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…

Books: American history is always a safe bet with me, double points for an obscure book on the Civil War or 20th c. European conflicts. Something special from Bauman Rare Books—especially first-edition memoirs of political or military worthies—will have a place of honor on my bookshelf at home.

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. Things you’d find glimmering in a Viking burial horde.

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