You are the sweetest. Thanks for writing to me. (I might be doing a book signing in LA this fall, btw…)

Hahah, Ronan and I are not technically married, although we have a son together, our kitty Basil Farrow. ;)

I CAN say that from firsthand experience, it's not only possible to balance pop/fun and serious — it's a desirable quality! If one feels guilty about enjoying arts and culture, then that person is missing out on a lot of experience and PERSPECTIVE, all of which helps enormously in serious pursuits. So dive in without resrevations — and I have a feeling you'll feel refreshed and energized to tackle the weighty matters!

I've been meaning to ask, and I hope you don't mind, but I'm curious about why articles never mention your famous husband? Ronan appears on your site, but you never discuss his human rights work in Africa. I wondered about how you focus on pop culture when he must be deep in thought about really "serious" stuff? It seems like polar opposites. I too have trouble balancing my interest in Palestinian rights, animal rights, and other "big" issues with my "fun" side which wants to see silly Japanese things. How do you find that balance? Are you involved in any of the African issues? When I think of people being killed in wars and not having clean water or even food, I feel so shallow and spoiled for giggling over wacky theme restaurants. Please, please give your advice on finding the balance! Thanks!<br>Maatei in L.A. Hello LaC, I love how you update your site daily and always have lots of photos.
