OK, so I’m a nut—a little more than goofy and just shy of crazy. My mantra is “Pretending to be a normal person day-after-day is exhausting” I have 5 kids, 10 grandkids, and group of wacky friends that inspire me, motivate me and send me into fits of irrepressible laughter.
In my younger days—which seems like another life altogether, I was a model and hairstylist. I did hair for the movie industry and believe it or not, I was Donny Osmond’s personal stylist for a couple of years (Name Dropper!). I was born in 1957, which puts me right there with all the rest of the baby-boomers who survived the 60s and 70s without their brains falling out from listening to the Beatles and trying to figure out exactly why Andy Warhol was painting Campbell’s soup cans. (We all pretended to know . . . )
But the older I get, the less I pretend to be normal, and the more I let the real Suzy out. Now I eat chocolate truffles by the handful, drink sparkling water by the gallon, and create funny-but-true art and stories. I get a kick out of the whole rollercoaster, upside-down life I’m leading and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Suzy Says Collection, which includes "Never underestimate the power of a hissie fit", "Always color outside the lines" and "Age is NOTHING but a state of mind", is all the stuff floating around in my head that doesn’t fit anywhere else.
