Fake It Till Ya Make It
On celebrity interviews and anxiety. Plus, Padma Lakshmi's best advice, BTS of NYC kitchens and finding some summer chill.
Last week I interviewed Padma Lakshmi on designing her first lingerie collection for Bare Necessities. In the week leading up, I was admittedly nervous. I get starstruck easily, not to mention I’m a longtime fan of Top Chef (for which she was the host, judge and executive producer for 17 years). I’ve done several celebrity interviews and yet I still turn into a hot mess whenever I come face-to-face with a famous person. This time, however, I was especially nervous because my anxiety has been up over the past month.
