Cocktails With – Annaliesa Lindsay
Annaliesa Lindsay, John G Graham & Co attorney-at-law, is relishing in the euphoria of seeing Babyface live last weekend, but has managed to carve out some quiet time — ahead of a business meeting — to share cocktails with us at Bin 26.
What are you sipping?
Amarone— it’s a very nice, dry Italian wine… I’m partial to European wines.
What do you love about Bin 26?
It’s a refreshing and sophisticated place where you can relax, enjoy good company and absolutely great wine.
Socialite or homebody?
Homebody. But when I go out I enjoy myself thoroughly… I spend a lot of time at my house, because I love my creature comforts.
Flats or stilettos?
Flats, all the way! I’m more into comfort than I am making a statement.
Jeans or LBD?
Jeans… I’m sticking to my theme of comfort (laughs)!
What’s your style?
Comfy-sophisticated… I love simplicity; less is more.
What’s in your handbag?
I always carry my BlackBerry, hand sanitiser, my car keys, lipgloss and my business cardholder.
Who does your hair?
Tricia Anderson at Chic Lines International (laughs).
Who does your nails?
Shakira Johnson, also at Chic Lines.
What’s in your car stereo?
Tarrus Riley… and who I’m also going for is Etana.
You’ve just seen Babyface live, who else would you like to see?
Prince or Madonna; they’re entertainers and I know that would be worth every penny.
What’s your latest obsession?
Pursuing balance in my life… I do work hard, but I have to ensure that I play just as hard.
What’s your idea of the perfect date?
Some place quiet with someone who is humorous, can laugh at himself but appreciates the realities of life.
What’s your idea of the perfect man?
The one who has the right faults… and he must be six feet and up.
What do you most enjoy about being an attorney?
The fact that no two days at work are alike… I love the challenges and the interaction my job affords.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
“Tomorrow is promised to no man.”
What projects are you working on?
I’m sworn to secrecy!
And 10 years from now?
That’s a hard question… continuing to enjoy life to the fullest.
