MY STUFF

It could be the pull of my ego or the genuine desire for my readership to get to know me--whose to say? (my money's on the former)--but either way, I am tackling Vanity Fair's "My Stuff" this go around because I have always enjoyed this column in the magazine. I like people's "stuff", I like to get to know someone's tastes and then judge them for it. Here's your chance.
