" 1.) What prompted you to live a vegan lifestyle? &amp;quot;I was inspired to choose the vegan lifestyle because of health issues and because of the incredible cruelty towards animals. It&amp;#039;s frightening what factory farms do to the planet! I try and do as much as I can to live a cruelty-free life. And I like to constantly educate myself about these issues, so that I can stay aware and tell my friends. I think the more aware we all are, the better off we are!&amp;quot;  2.) What is your favorite handbag in your line?  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what my favorite Cornelia Guest bag is. That&amp;#039;s not a fair question! They&amp;#039;re all like my children. I don&amp;#039;t have a favorite. They are all my favorites!&amp;quot; 3.) What is the best piece of style advice your mother gave you? &amp;quot;My mother was always telling me to keep it simple. Classic, she called it.&amp;quot; 4.) Who are your style icons? &amp;quot;My style icons among designers are Halston, Badgley Mischka. And I love the personal styles of Nan Bush, Maria Menounos, Diana Vreeland, and Jennifer Hudson\u2014natural yet elegant and glamorous.&amp;quot; 5.) What is one the item you will never leave your house without? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll never leave my house without my American Express Card\u2014safely tucked away in my Cornelia Guest wallet! My Razor Phone and my Mac \u2013Viva Glam Nicki Minaj lipstick. And my Newfie, Cash.&amp;quot; 6.) Tell us about your pets? &amp;quot;My pets are my inspiration and passion. I love to watch my dogs, all 9 of them, play with my donkey Madonna. She thinks she&amp;#039;s a dog! She chases them and then they chase her. They all have a ball. I&amp;#039;d be lost without them. I also have an African Tortoise named Socrates. His favorite thing to eat is strawberries, right out of my hand. He&amp;#039;s an amazing creature, so serene. I wish I knew what he was thinking. I wish I knew what they were all thinking.&amp;quot; 7.) What is the number one piece of advice to being a great host? &amp;quot;Have fun. Relax. No matter how formal the party may be, enjoy yourself. Get everything done ahead of time, so you can relax and enjoy your friends!&amp;quot; corneliaguest.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
