Be comfortable, dont care what people think, have courage, be yourself and learn from the criticism of others - find yourself through all the put downs

Betsey, I am such a huge fan. Going back to Betsey Bunky Nini days, what was your favourite thing about makeup in the 60s? Also, I would love to know what it was like to work with Edie Sedgwick, also an amazing beauty like yourself!

How do you personally get motivated? I lack motivation so bad, and I need inspiration.

If you don't love it, then leave it - if you're not motivated, it probably means you dont love it! Find something that inspires you and the rest will follow.

Betsey,

I've been a fiercly loyal BJ fan for over 12 years (my first BJ dress was the one I wore for my father's wedding when I was 8!), I wore one of your gorgeous Evening Heat dresses to my senior prom, and I carry my Betseyville bags with pride on a daily basis. I always love checking out the new jewelry you put out as its the easiest thing for me to buy on a college budget. Unfortunately, though I have purchased many earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and even sunglasses, they have all come to an untimely demise! All I ask of you is to have these items come with a quality guarantee, or an exchange policy online, because I've spent far too much money on BJ jewely only to have it break very easily within weeks of purchasing it. You have been my style idol for years, and it breaks my heart to have these beautiful pieces of jewelry break so easily!

xoxo,

Allison G 

ps- If there is any way to have replacements for the jewelry sent to me, please let me know! I've look high and low for replacements but the older ones are impossible to find. 

[#20]

Hey Betsey! I'm from the United Kingdom and visiting New York in two weeks! Was just wondering whats New Yorks "Best Kept Secrets"? Would love to know the cool places to check out shops, bars, eating places ect...

Keep Rocking LOve Becky
