10 Facts About Hope:

1. Whenever I start to feel bored with my hair style, I consider Anna Wintour. Boring problem solved.

2. Love going to the park with Dickens - my Mini Schnauz.

3. Hope's ideal day: Cold, autumn, with dry roads, no visible sun, and waves of cumulonimbus clouds lining the sky. No, YOU'RE weird. And evidently I belong in Great Britain somewhere.

4. My nails are almost always painted Celebrity Bash red. Rimmel might be cheap, but that nail color outlasts even OPI.

5. Toronto Maple Leafs. Detroit Red Wings. Pittsburgh Penguins. Yes, it is possible to appreciate all three teams. No, I'm not a particularly big hockey fan. Football is more my thing.

6. At age 5 years: My Grams bought me first pair of high heels. Granted, they were plastic, but my fashion fate was sealed.

7. I love triple venti whole milk lattes from Starbucks, and truly believe that the whole milk balances out the triple shot of espresso. Really.

8. Black is my favorite non-color, followed closely by gold.

9. Blonde: My natural hair color. Yes, I really have a Bachelor of Science degree. No, I'm not stupid.

10. Rarely am I completely accoutred without pearls. Or diamonds. Or both.
