Magazine together as well.
As Shalom Harlow reminisces about her enduring friendship with Amber Valletta, she reflects on their unlikely beginnings. “When Amber and I met, we were still teenagers. We saw each other from the lens of high school cliques. Amber was preppy and clean-cut with an Hermès scarf. I was grungy with ripped jeans and old band T-shirts. We would’ve run in different circles back in our respective hometowns.”
Yet, as fate would have it, they discovered a profound commonality that transcended their initial differences. “Once we started talking childhood dynamics – our single mothers and absentee fathers, and our eldest sibling syndrome – our commonality was evident. Our first dinner date lasted hours and culminated in a decision to live together. The rest is history, as they say.”
