21 Questions

New York magazine's fashion blog, The Cut, has a regular feature entitled 21 Questions.  Not surprisingly, it is a somewhat-grown up version of the email survey chains of our middle school days.  If it's good enough for Catherine Malandrino and Nanette Lepore, though, I think it just might be good enough for me...
