February's issue of Cosmo Girl features a fan going on a shopping spree with Amanda in New York city.
Krista Keeney, a 21-year-old from South Point, recently had a nice weekend filled with a road trip, shopping and a chance to hang out with new friends.
For most, just that would be enough. But for Keeney, the road trip was a whirlwind trip to New York City, the shopping was a spree at Manhattan's Steve & Barry's and the new friend was "Hairspray" and "Sydney White" actress Amanda Bynes.
"I had food in my mouth when I found out, and I almost choked I was so surprised," said Keeney, the daughter of Terry Keeney and Colleen Keeney. "I never thought I would actually win something like this."
For two days, she explored New York City, went on a shopping spree with Bynes and even garnered a photo shoot for the February issue of CosmoGIRL!.

I’m definitely going to be working with Steve & Barry’s for awhile, so we’ll be incorporating different things for all the different seasons. I’m contracted with them for 5 years – the same as Sarah Jessica Parker, [but] performing is the thing that will always be the #1, pure love of my life.

AmericaJR spoke to Amanda when she made an appearance in Troy, Michigan. There were hundreds of fans in line described to be like one seen at Disney World!
You can listen to an interview with Amanda here.
Amanda's Dear tour comes to an end today in Charlotte, North Carolina. I hope now she gets to take some time off to relax for the holidays!
"I've always been a big fan of clothes. I love drawing. It's a fun little side job for me to do."
The actress joins Sarah Jessica Parker and Vanessa Williams with clothing collections at Steve & Barry's. "It's very exciting. I love them both. It's a very fun thing for me," she said.
The "Dear" fashion line launched at Steve & Barry's stores on August 16. All of the items are guaranteed to be priced below $20. The clothes are targeted towards teenage girls. "It's a fast selling line," the actress said.
Everything was designed by the star herself. Steve & Barry's ran some ideas by her but she had to give final approval before anything was produced. Bynes said: "It took about six months to a year" to go from ideas on paper to the final product.
What does the 21-year-old star enjoy more...performing in a movie, for a TV show or designing clothes? "I love them both," she said. "I always loved performing. I always loved drawing. I hope I don't have to get rid of one of them. Let's just say a little bit of both."

The New York Observer asked Amanda five questions about Dear:
How did this collaboration with Steve & Barry's come about?
I actually have wanted to be a fashion designer for a long time, but I never really thought it would happen. I've been drawing my whole life and I happened to get a call from Steve & Barry's when I was doing "Hairspray."
Where do you get the inspiration for your own style?
Just walk around the street in New York. It inspires me to, for instance, wear jeans tucked into my boots. To do those little things that take longer like tuck in my jeans or accessorize with a cool scarf. I'm lazy, so I would wear a robe outside. As far as celebrities go, Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker's character from "Sex and the City." She always looked really chic, but went for it and took risks.... I'm inspired by people that are out of the box.
Do you take any style ideas from the characters you play?
When I did "What a Girl Wants," before it was "in," the wardrobe designer suggested (I wear) a little men's blazer and put all these different pins on it. I would have never thought about it before.
Since you have a young fan base how important was it to you that your clothing line be affordable?
That's what I like about it. I wish more people would do inexpensive lines. I like it when celebrities design for places like H&M. I hate buying stuff that's so expensive. How can you justify spending $900 on a pair of shoes? (When I was growing up) I really thought Payless was the only shoe store in the world. ...I really wanted to create something so kids have options and can wear clothes that are fun.
Are you conscious of not making items too short, tight or skimpy?
Because I grew up on a kid's show ("All That" and "The Amanda Show") I do feel like I have young fans, but there are a lot of 30-year-olds and parents who say (to me), "I picked up your jeans." That's why I try to keep it classic combined with what young girls would like. My mom and sister wear it all the time. I like to keep it chic and use classic colors.

In my family, we make a lot of our gifts," says the Nickelodeon-bred actress and star of this year's "Sydney White" and the hit "Hairspray." "I like to draw, so I'll decorate a plate, or I'll do an oil painting. It just means more when you make a gift from scratch.

Chron.com has a great article about Amanda as she makes another appearance on her Dear tour.
Bynes gives a lot of her credit to her parents for giving her a good childhood and continuing to keep her grounded. While she can hit the club scene legally, she keeps a low profile. She spends much of her free time hanging out with family and friends, she said.

Bynes gives a lot of her credit to her parents for giving her a good childhood and continuing to keep her grounded. While she can hit the club scene legally, she keeps a low profile. She spends much of her free time hanging out with family and friends, she said.
"I like to go out and have a good time, but to a certain limit. If I have work the next day, I will go home early and get a good night's sleep. I'm not perfect, and I have made a mistake or two, but I learn from them."
And even a perfect girl can use a therapist, apparently. Bynes confessed she sees a therapist when the ugly side of show business gets to be too much.
"When I have issues or I'm upset about something, I stay home, I don't go out, I try to work it out with my therapist. I'm all for making yourself a better person," Bynes said. "This business can kind of make you crazy, be upsetting or you don't know who to trust, so you just have to work it out."
