Alex: What is your go-to song that instantly brightens your mood?
Lanie: It's an oldie but goodie and I actually just heard it the other day... something about Musiq Soul Child's "Love At First Sight" always puts a huge grin on my face.
Alex: What is the best winter activity in LA?
Lanie: Wow, there really isn't any that I know of, other than the typical ice skating or snowboarding. As you know, we don't really have a winter in LA & to be honest, every time it's cold out there's nothing I'd rather do than curl up in my comforter with a book, some hot cocoa and my dogs BUT if I had to pry myself from the couch and head outside, you'd probably find me out shopping.
Alex: If you could meet anyone – dead or alive – who would it be?
Lanie: John Lennon
Alex: What are your fall must-haves?
Lanie: An American Apparel circle scarf, black leggings, Burt's Bees Wax lip balm, everything Hellz and a pair of Doc's.
Alex: Who inspires you – both in your work and just in life?
Lanie: My mom... I work and live to make her proud.
Alex: If you could plan the perfect trip, where would you go and what would you see?
Lanie: With the crazy work schedule I have I wouldn't be lying if I said I think about this almost everyday... I would be with my husband sans our computers and blackberry's laying on a beach getting massages in Borocay, Philippines & do absolutely nothing but enjoying the sun.
Alex: What is your favorite winter cocktail?
Lanie: No matter what the season is, it's always... Jameson & Ginger Ale
Alex: What one thing in your life can you NOT live without?
Lanie: I almost said my blackberry... how depressing is that?! No, but really I can NOT live without my family.
