Out magazine

An interview with Abbi Jacobsen and Ilana Glazer at the peak of Broad City’s rise into the comedy canon. We met at the St Regis hotel. It was early in the morning. Like any celebrity at the dawn of notoriety, they had green juices and chia parfaits and were tired. But they were both super nice as the fame cloud was rolling over their heads.

Glow Magazine

There was this weird streak of work I had where I was interviewing a lot of models. At the height of her pay grade, I met Daria Werbowy for a moment during her photoshoot. Her agent was really angry I mentioned her (then don't talk so loudly around me!).

Paper Magazine

I interviewed Mariah for Paper Magazine. I met her at the photo shoot and then later talked to her on the phone, while she was in a bath. Reader, I loved her. She is your genuine Long Island girlfriend who became a diva -- funny, honest, real, fabulous.

Glow Magazine

Glow is like the Canadian Allure magazine. One summer, I spoke to Ms. Klum on the phone. I had just discovered Buddhism and meditation and was predictably high off my first discovery of the practice. I asked Heidi if she had a spiritual practice. “No,” she answered. “I just like to sit on the couch and watch TV with my kids.”

InStyle Magazine

Right before the end of the time when magazines had expense accounts and hired freelancers to write cover stories and send them places, I traveled to Vancouver to interview Ms. Deschanel at the peak of her New Girl fame and She & Him buzz. She was very kind. I asked where she lived. She said, politely: “Oh I can’t tell you that. If it gets in any press I will have stalkers.”

Out Magazine

In 2011, I had the privilege of profiling Justin Vivian Bond, the groundbreaking performer, singer and artist. V had just changed her pronouns and announced herself as trans — using V and Mx — way before it was a thing. I think this article was the first (if not one of the first) that honored this freedom of expression, marking the beginning of trans visibility.
