Gifting Guide
My wishlists are an insight into my personality, hobbies and tastes—and also the surest way to make me smile before we have the chance to meet. So far, the most remarkable gift has been an 1861 Springfield musket; but surprise gifts of any size genuinely make my day!
Preferences
Treats & Drinks: I’m health-conscious and always pleased to find sparkling water in the suite (Pellegrino or Gerolsteiner are my favorite) or light snacks like cut fruit and cheese. I like black coffee, mint tea and the occasional green juice. Sweets will go to waste—please don’t bring them.
Books: American history is always a safe bet with me—double points for an obscure book on the Civil War or reconstruction. If you really want to floor me, something special from Bauman Rare Books—especially first-edition memoirs of political or military worthies—is sure to make me swoon.
Lingerie: I love, love, love receiving lingerie—nothing makes me feel more wild. As sizing can get tricky, if you’d like to lace me up before a date please send along a gift card to Bordelle, Agent Provocateur, or Fleur du Mal. If you want to send me shopping in NYC, I’ll be glad to send you dressing-room selfies from Journelle, Rack Shack or Sugar Cookies Boutique.
Shoes: There’s just something about the eroticism of a high, shiny heel. I wear a US 8/EU 38 (IT 37.5 in Louboutins). I like my boots high and my leather supple, and generally favor dark brown over black.
Trinkets: I’m delighted by small leather goods, survivalist tools, and historical ephemera. I’m also taking conscripts for my legion of Playmobil Roman soldiers.
