  <about><![CDATA[I grew up in Massachusetts.  I traveled the world as a makeup artist and hairdresser until a chance job assignment in Spain proved fateful, and I resettled in Barcelona.  Pressed to find a profession that did not necessitate working papers, I became a lucrative eBay luxury reseller of all things Hermes. I am a columnist for HuffingtonPost.com and live in Barcelona with my partner, Juan, and our two cats, Gala and Dali.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Brockton, Mass.</hometown>
