Basso talks about being in love, the importance of friends, and why a great haircut is a must-have whether you are a woman or a man.
I always knew I wanted to write -- and more specifically -- for a magazine. My dad is a travel journalist, so from a young age I saw the excitement, passion and fun involved with creating something from scratch.

Heidi tells them for this week's challenge "we really want you to spread your wings." They march off to the workroom where they are greeted by Uncle Tim and Collier Strong and an assortment of exotic birds making bird noises on their perches.
Day 2. Tim comes in to spring a surprise on them; they will be required to create a second Seventies-inspired look with a budget of $50. "I guess it's not so little," says Anya, who created her first look with a budget of $11.50.
