LINDA PUGLIESE
Photographer, New York
When I was young, on a standard
day, I was sure I’d grow up to be an
attorney, just like my father. And
on more glamorous days, I had
plans of becoming a singer and
dancer on Broadway.
ANDREW PURCELL
Photographer, New York
When I was a kid, all I wanted to be
was a pro-basketball or baseball
player...I kind of still do!
CARRIE PURCELL
Food Stylist, New York
When I was a kid I wanted to be
a veterinarian because I loved
animals—my poor dog was very
patient as I listened to her
heartbeat and gave her check- ups!
ANDREW STEWART
Stylist, New York
When I was young, I wanted nothing
more than to be an artist and
occasionally play dress-up. Why? I’m
assuming it was to support my
expensive taste in mascara. Nothing
much has changed.
CAROLINE ROGERS
Illustrator, New York
As a kid I always wanted to be
either an astronaut or a fashion
designer. I gave up on being an
astronaut after a failed attempt to
go to space camp though. Probably
for the best, I think.
SUSANNE SCHANZ
Photographer, Cologne
When I was about 5 years old, I
wanted to become a baby nurse. In
every useable area of space I had, my
dolls had a bed made of bed sheets,
some blankets or cushions; given
names, birth dates, milk and kisses.
ELLEN SILVERMAN
Photographer, New York
When I was little I wanted to be
Eloise at The Plaza. Due to some
mischievous behavior my dad
nicknamed me Eloise. My other
desire was to become a member of
the Peace Corps.
WILL TAYLOR
Stylist/Writer, London
I was utterly transfixed with the
magic of theater, and dreamed of
being a set designer for many of
my childhood years. I would spend
hours building miniature sets to
use a little wooden theater.

TATYANNA WRIGHT
Writer, New York
I wanted to be Don Johnson. I
LOVED Miami Vice and LOVED the
styling, the look, the entire feel of
Don Johnson’s character Sonny
Crockett.
