Debra Goldstein is from Georgia. She says "ya'll," drinks sweet tea, and appreciates good manners. She attended college at the University of Arizona and then moved to Los Angeles where she started a personal shopping company called Fern Estelle. After having her fair share of dressing Hollywood celebs and running around town like she was in the "Devil Wear's Prada," Debra decided to move to New York City in search of love, friendship, and fashion. She ended up finding all that and more!When Debra moved to NYC in 2006 she became roommates and instant bff's with her co-author, Olivia. As savvy flirts, addicted to the social scene as well as their blackberries, these two "digitalistas" quickly picked up on the fact that texting was becoming the NEW first step in dating. They knew they weren't the only ones who wanted to know how the rules have changed since texting was introduced into the dating game, so they continued to date, flirt and text, until they felt they had successfully demystified this trend. Debra and Olivia named this new dating phenomenon Flirtexting™ and put the rules down on paper once and for-all in their popular "how-to" guide, Flirtexting™.
