"I should have my 'girl citizenship' revoked. I never get facials, I never get my nails done, I'm too busy," Megan said. She doesn't need to because she is so naturally gorgeous.
She claims she takes her style cues from "Japanese Girls" and aspires to smell like a Parisian.
"My mom is like girl power ot the nth degree. I'm a compulsive nose powderer, and I definitely got that from her. I prefer a less feminine presentation, though. I like looser clothing, which always prompts my mom to say some classic like, "You have such a darling figure---show it off more!"
On hair care:
"I have the gray covered with Redkin Shades EQ Conditioning Color Gloss [only at salons]. I also like Kiehl's shampoos and Bumble and Bumble Super Rich conditioner."
A bad hair day:
"I had an unfortunate perm in the eighties that bleached my hair the color of a dead leaf. Then I got a roommate who happened to be a hairdresser. A month after he moved in, he said, "I cannot spend one more night under the same roof with that hair!" He made me come to the salon, and he totally changed it."
In Meg's Makeup bag:
Vincent Longo Water Canvas, a water-based cream-to-powder foundation, in Creme Beige; MAC pressed powder in NC 15; MAC chestnut lip pencil; Maybelline Great Lash mascara; Body Shop Honey Lip Care; Stila blushes in creme and Tutu; and Stila Sophia lip color.
On Tanning:(Do you ever tan?)"
No! I grew up in Oklahoma City at a time when you were supposed to be tan or die. I wouldn't wear skirts because my legs were so white. It wasn't until I was 36 that I was able to leave the house in a skirt. Fortunately I've learned to love my white skin."
Desdribing her clothing style:
"I don't like anything that's too froufrou. I feel best in really simple clothes. My favorite article of clothing is a suede Tiffany-blue Elmer Fudd-style hat I found at Barneys. It's got fake fur and ear flaps. It's so cute."
On shoes:
"I like chunky Prada shoes. I have big old healthy Oklahoma ballet-girl calves and ankles, so those beautiful delicate little Manolo Blahniks make my legs look like pencils sharpened down to the little points of my shoes at the end."
On excersize:
"I've been taking yoga for about a year and a half. I do between three and five classes a week. It's my one luxury, and it's so worth it."
On weight:
"I've gotten to a point where I've accepted that my weight goes up and down 15 pounds on either side. I've been supercrazy borderline-eating-disorder thin, like 95 pounds, and I've been 130 pounds. Somewhere in the middle is where I like to be."
On relaxing:
"Baths. I like to get in there with a book and read. I love Caudalie bath oil. It has a real spa kind of feel."
A perfect day for Meg:
"Wake up with no alarm clock, eat a cheese omelet for breakfast, and sit around and read for a couple of hours. Then drive somewhere really beautiful and walk around and look at things. (This is all done with my man because I really like him.) Then meet up with a bunch of friends for either sushi or soul food and then go to sleep. I'd probably have a little extra something before I go to sleep!"
Notice the lovely chunky Pradas! The self proclaimed, compulsive nose powderer |  |
