Meeting Eve
Amy Linden, XXL, February 2001
ITS A DREARY late fall day in New York and Eve is having a fashion emergency. The first lady of Ruff Ryders is back from a recording session in Miami and the shift in climate has put a chill in her bones and a mission in her mind; namely to get her frame into some sweats. Now. "I need some comfortable clothes, I need some sweats," she intones like a mantra, and so she, her assistant, and driver/bodyguard pile into a SUV and head through Central Park en route to Uptown and wardrobe salvation.
