Aerin Lauder

Growing up in New York, I loved watching my grandmother Estee put on her make-up - I always admired her sense of style.

AERIN is saturated with the qualities that have surrounded me my entire life, many of which came from my grandmother, Estee: passion, style, hard work, family, and, of course, all things beautiful.

I like to entertain at home, to live beautifully but comfortably.

Democrats were quick to point out that President Bush's budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit. The White House quickly responded with 'Hey, look over there, it's Saddam Hussein.'

The latest page I've been working is about the organization of the pantheon of the gods. Who's indebted to whom, how they are related, who screwed whose uncle or grandmother, all of that.

I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
