I'm in Westport magazine. Here are the paragraphs that mention me. By the way, I actually didn't say these things and I don't look like Susan Sarandon.
Despite what marketers are stocking the stores with, despite what buyers are
seduced by at trade shows, and despite what mom thinks is adorable, the
ultimate experts are the kids themselves. Anyone who has ever tried to talk
a four-year-old out of wearing his Batman costume to church knows that.
So Leslie Beatus listens when her daughter Jersey offers her opinion about
what's hot and what's not. "I don't have a lot of clothes," she says.
Jersey is 16 and lives in Westport with mom and dad. "Most of them fit on a
couple of shelves in my room." She does have fewer than you would imagine a
teenager to have, because she is so particular - and besides, most of them
fold up into squares the size of a handkerchief. There's a jumble of color
and flowery prints.
While she talks about shopping and what the girls are wearing, she curls up
barefoot on a couch, looking a little like a very young Susan Sarandon. She
is very chic and she's wearing Paris Blues and tiny T-shirt that reveals a
line of tummy. "Mom and dad?" She laughs. "All they wear is black."
Woooooo.
