Seven Questions for Stephen:
1. What do you wear on rainy days?
I absolutely love the rain and the essentials that go with it! Lately I have been wearing my Hunter rain boots, Diesel Jogg jeans, my favorite black leather jacket from Australian designer Peter Morrissey, with hoodies underneath. Or my Uniqlo ultra light down jacket, which can easily roll up into a small portable bag. I also have a collection of trusty umbrellas from Davek and an awesome silver Armani umbrella I've had for almost 15 years!
2. What's something most people don't know about you?
I can't touch velvet or plush toys -- they make my skin crawl.
3. What's sexy?
Everything that comes in black -- cars, suits, shoes, accessories...
4. When it comes to fashion you're a ______ guy.
I'm a loafers guy.
5. What's your dream job?
Running a boutique hotel for people and their pets.
6. What would be your ideal last meal on Earth?
My mother's home made arancinis, eggs and avocado, because I crave them all the time.
7. What's your SF top 5?
-The Golden Gate Bridge. It's breathtaking every single time.
-The Aesop store on Fillmore. I'm from Sydney, and Aesop has the best beauty products from Australia. I'm so happy I don't have to order them online anymore.
-Poesia and Anchor Oyster Bar in the Castro. They're my two neighborhood restaurants.
-The Castro, where I live. It has so much history and passion.
