Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 33: Reba, whose looks had me in a chokehold in the early 90s. I desperately wanted a red satin, velvet-trimmed dancing dress with a slit clean up to my hip, even if it meant becoming a high-end prostitute to escape the grips of poverty. Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 34: Janet (Ms. Jackson, if you’re nasty) - effortlessly cool in every outfit and occasion Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 35: Sophia Loren, OG bombshell & iconic side-eye giver Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 36: The Purple One, His Royal Badness, the High Priest of Pop, He Who Could Not Be Played Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 37: Cher, whose iconic looks are COUNTLESS (hello, Bob Mackie!) and whose power quips will live freely in my heart and soul for all time Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 38: Adele - She’s bold and brash and 30- and 40-year-olds in therapy are her vibe Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 39: Eartha Kitt, who wore animal print as a neutral and didn’t compromise In 40 days, I’m marking a sacred juncture in time: the weekend of Halloween & my 40th birthday bash.

Here’s your successor. Some clips for your enjoyment:
