Little Black Dress Author: Jo Barrett

1. I’m from Texas! Yee-hah! Texas gals are a brash bunch. Have you ever heard the slogan, ‘Don’t mess with Texas’? Well, I’m fairly certain – although don’t quote me – that this refers to the women.

2. I’m a fiend for Mexican food. Particularly chips and queso, and margaritas made with fresh lime juice that is so sour it makes your cheeks pucker up!

3. I think a lot of Americans have a good heart, buried deep beneath layers and layers of hamburgers and fries.

4. I used to work on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., for a member of Congress. I was bribed, cajoled, offered sex and free dinners and first class trips to China. It was awesome.

5. I’m deeply familiar with the CIA. But this could be a lie. Or not. .
