Best Gift
For my birthday this year, my girlfriends—who knew I’d just inherited my dad’s turntable—gave me a carton of albums like Blue Kentucky Girl, by Emmylou Harris, and Off the Wall, by Michael Jackson. It’s all stuff we grew up with. I mean, you can’t have a music collection without Prince’s Purple Rain—it just can’t be done!

Best Getaway
A decade ago, I stumbled upon a magical place on the Mayan Riviera. I hesitate to give the name because I don’t want everyone else to discover it! The whole place is beautiful and authentic. I’ve probably been ten times in the past ten years.

Best Memory
My twin sister, my cousin, and I used to write and perform plays for my family. We raided the closets for costumes and fought over parts. I’m sure I was the bossiest one.

Best Rainy-Day Flick
Thelma & Louise! I was in college the first time I saw it, and it’s such a great women’s movie—I mean, a great everyone movie.
