In 2002, she found her home in Aspen, Colorado, where her award-winning column, “The Princess’s Palate,” has been stunning readers with its no-holds-barred honesty about life and love every Thursday in The Aspen Times since June 2002.

She’s also a regular contributor to Aspen Peak magazine and Aspen Sojourner and writes about everything Aspen has to offer, from architecture and design to food and culture.
