Fashion Neurosis is a study in the art of conversation.
I love, love Bella’s voice and the gentle way she converses, but the ads are so jarring. I wish there could be a better way for it to be monetized.
Please write and narrate your own memoirs, Bella. And please be sure it's available in the USA. You are such a thoughtful interviewer, such an interesting life and I could listen to your voice all day into the night.
