I am the proud new owner at Amanda Essence! I have a lot of updates planned for the site, so please check it out.
Amanda is in the December issue of “Self” magazine. I have added the fantastic photoshoot she did to the gallery, along with some quotes from the magazine. If anyone can get scans and donate them, please do and I’ll be sure to credit you!

Date nights: “I’m obsessed with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. If she knew how much she was in my household late at night or in the wee hours of the morning, she might be disturbed. David [my husband] and I both have a crush on her.”
No diets for her: “To me, staying healthy means doing everything in moderation. Eat a lot of greens, but in moderation. Exercise, but in moderation. Drink wine, but in moderation. Sleep as much as you can. And have people around you who are very funny.”
Bad reviews: “When you’re gotten horrible reviews-and in the early days, I got some that were probably deserved-it’s almost liberating, because you’re like, ‘I’m still breathing. I’m still married to my husband. I’m going to go back onstage tonight, and I have no choice in the matter.”
