Yes, I am a cheap chic. Specifically, I am a cheap chic living in New York City, one of the most expensive cities in the World. But no worries. I've always been, how shall we say...frugal. It's a blessing and a curse. A curse, because on occasion I've suffered from food poisoning and have been left with no eyebrows. It is, of course, a blessing for you, as through my blog you glean some practical tips to living cheap and still being chic!

And for all of you triva junkies, I found a few stories from mental_floss, one of my favorite magazines EVER, to share with you:
Hello gentle Americans. Since I have decided to run for RuPaul’s DRAG RACE I have had so much lovely support and the occasional reaction of bewilderment. “Why Hedda with your fame and notoriety would enter the competition? Can’t you leave it for the less well known gals?” I understand where they are coming from and I have actually asked myself the same question. Though I have asked it while soaking in tub of bubbles, my green hair wrapped in an Egyptian cotton towel, while sipping on a glass of champagne as some young stud paints my toenails. And do you know the answer I came up with? “I love drag and all it has offered me over the years and why not celebrate my love for drag with the rest of the world?” Show the skeptics, the naysayers, the perverts, the fans, the enemies and the chaste that Hedda’s still got it.” Not the clap assholes, I’ve got what it takes to be household name. And frankly I don’t want to do it by being on COPS so Drag Race is a natural choice. Though now that I think about it being thrown over the warm hood of a cop car by a burly man in blue sounds quite appetizing. Hmm, what crime could I commit that would cause a stir? I could smuggle drugs in my ass and try to cross the boarder? Instead of drug mule I would be a drag mule, now ain’t that a kick?
