Lea Michele Covers 'Flare' January 2013

Lea Michele goes retro-glam for the cover of Flare magazine‘s January 2013 issue.

Here is what the 26-year-old Glee actress had to share with the mag:

On her fashion ethics: “Food is for nutrition, so if that’s your preference, okay, but I don’t think there’s really a need to be wearing fur.”

On her Canadian boyfriend, Cory Monteith: “Canada makes some great dudes, and he’s definitely one of them�”just the nicest, sweetest guy in the world. And it’s really great that I’ve gotten to go to Victoria and Vancouver a lot�”it’s so beautiful.”

On her her “perfect companion”: “I found [my cat Sheila] on the Paramount lot with some other kittens, and I took her home and found the other cats homes as well. She’s the greatest cat in the whole world, so spunky and fun. It wouldn’t be fair to have a dog, but she’s the perfect companion for me.

On recording her upcoming album: “It’s a long process. I’m really going to take my time with it and make sure that it gets lots of attention.”

FYI: Lea is wearing an Alberta Ferretti dress and a Stephen Webster ring.
