ECHO PARK — Alex Holmes, 27, defies all odds by keeping her kitchen clean just like a main character in a Nancy Meyers’ romantic comedy. “It’s a conscious choice. I choose a clean kitchen each and every day. That’s what makes this lifestyle sustainable,” says Holmes who assures the public that she’s a very real woman. 

Already an anomaly to Echo Park, the 720 square foot kitchen features spotless, white marble countertops, thoughtfully organized open shelving and a six-burner stove with no oil splatters.

Even Holmes’ friends are at a loss for how she finds the time.

“She’s the most accomplished author of our generation, a well-known film producer and a style icon for white women over the age of 40. Yet, I’ll come over unannounced at 6 p.m., a strawberry rhubarb pie in hand and not one dish is in the sink,” says Alison Holmes-Edgar, best friend and sister to Holmes. 


“I closed off my heart from love a few years ago. My last break-up was just too messy and I like things orderly. I don’t need a man to make me feel whole, my farmhouse sink already does that.”


With a kitchen floor so immaculate that she could put her bare pussy on it without risk of infection, Holmes divulges her secret to success. 

“I closed off my heart from love a few years ago. My last break-up was just too messy and I like things orderly. I don’t need a man to make me feel whole, my farmhouse sink already does that,” says Holmes.

“It’s a chaotic story really,” says Holmes-Edgar. “She had sworn off younger guys so she started seeing this charming older man. Sounds safe, right? Wrong. One weekend getaway at our Mom’s house in the Hamptons and this old man hooks up with Mom! Talk about unlucky in love.

“Honestly I don’t think about it much,” Holmes says, over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. “Besides, my kitchen is the talk of the town!” She laughs, too much. 

When asked if Mom approves of the kitchen’s look, Holmes adds, “She’s not allowed here anymore.”
