"     Lisa Colmenares. Miami, Florida.   I love your facial expressions. I can tell exactly what you&amp;#039;re thinking when you&amp;#039;re talking to others (Olivia, Joe, etc.). How do you manage being in front of the camera on the days you&amp;#039;d rather be anywhere else? Any tips?  Erin Kaplan: I really try to look at the show as another job and I definitely realize how lucky I am to be a part of it, so days that I dread shooting have become very few and far between. However, there are definitely people that make filming more enjoyable than others and depending on who I am doing a scene with it can be a lot fun\u2014or pretty frustrating! I can get antsy on days that are incredibly busy, but production is really great about working with me so I&amp;#039;m able to do everything I need to for the magazine. Some tips? Multitask! I always have my blackberry with me and when we&amp;#039;re filming at the desks I am usually typing up emails at the same time!   Lisa Colmenares: You appear to have a very tough skin and you get the results you want. Would you say that&amp;#039;s essential for working at a publication like ELLE, or is that something that just gets shown on The City?  Erin Kaplan: It&amp;#039;s probably more essential to have a thick skin working in television than it is to work at ELLE! I do tend to take things personally and being on TV is something I&amp;#039;m not sure I will ever get used to. I can be tough when I need to be at work, but I think it&amp;#039;s more through perseverance and working hard that I&amp;#039;m able to get what I want. I&amp;#039;m generally a pretty non-confrontational person.  Leanne Koh, Sydney, Australia. If you were given a challenge to wear the same item of clothing for a month, what would you choose? (Additional accessories &amp;amp;amp; alterations permitted, of course!) Erin Kaplan: Wearing the same thing everyday for a month would probably make getting dressed in the morning ridiculously easy (and quick) so I am not sure I would mind this challenge! I have a black cashmere dress from VINCE that would probably pull me through. It&amp;#039;s comfortable, not too casual, and not too dressy and is the perfect blank canvas for accessories.
