Paradis

[1] What are your current obsessions?
Psychedelic art and music.

[2] What is your weirdest obsession?
Grilled cheese with blueberry jam sandwiches.

[3] What are you wearing today?
A Pale blue asymmetrical gypsy skirt, a printed tank top and a gray billabong sweater.

[4] What’s for dinner today?
Wheat toast with loads of butter and orange juice.

[5] Why is today special?
Today is special because I did nothing but roll around in bed and sort through my stuff and think. And eat. Fun fun.

[6] What would you like to learn to do?
How to hit the rails when wakeboarding without imagining myself slam into it face first and knocking out all my teeth.

Fall asleep on command. I think I must have lost around 7 pounds in the last month or so because I haven't been sleeping.. partying is no replacement for sleep apparently.

[7] What’s the last thing you bought?
Neon yellow shoe laces.

[8] What are you listening to right now?
Bittersweet Faith from the Devil Wears Prada soundtrack.

[10] What is your most challenging goal right now?
To not lose my mind while I immerse myself in my creativity. For so many years I have had very "logical" jobs, bartending, events, kiteboarding.. now its time to use the other side of my brain and I am freaking out. Not prepared to lose an ear over this like Van Gogh, but hey, who knows..? hahha

[11] What do you think about the person who tagged you?
Eden is a fellow Cebuana, meaning we hail from the same beautiful city in the south of the Philippines. She is a radio personality and an obvious fashionista in her own right, and I cant wait to take a little trip back home to party it up with her.

[12] If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
I would want a flat in London because I love rainy weather in the city.. And London has crazy shopping opportunities.

Then I would need a small apartment by the beach in Marbella, where my family lives..

And finally a small studio on the island where I can unleash my inner design demon. It would be full of paintings and books and fabrics and music and have a big bright window showing me a spectacular view of the blinding reflection of the sun off the true blue water..

[13] What would you like to have in your hands right now?
An amazing SLR camera. Camera fairy, do you hear me?

[14] What would you like to get rid of?
A small part of my childhood.. lets just say it wasn't all fun and games.

[15] If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Marbella, Spain. Time to check in with the parental units. I'm pretty convinced my mom thinks I'm a major hippie/gypsy. I'm not denying it.

[16] Which language do you want to learn?
Portuguese. So so sexy.

[17] What do you look for in a friend?
Loyalty, uniqueness, soul & sincerity.

[18] Who do you want to meet in person?
Diego Luna. I kinda die a little every time I see Havana Nights.

Gerard Way. Waaaaay hot.

& Sade. My mom used to listen to her when she was my age.. I still dig her music. "King of Sorrow" is an absolute favorite.

[20] What’s the favorite piece of clothing in your own closet?
Anything my Mom gave me, especially my Atos Lombardini paisley silk skirt. And my Chanel bag.

[21] What is your dream job?
Doing anything for the love, not for the money.

Except maybe working for an amazing magazine like Vogue or Russh.

[22] Any favorite models?
Doutzen Kroes has an amazing body, I wish more models had her curves.

And if model/socialites count, Alice Dellal. Her sex appeal is through the roof!

Last but not least, Miss Kate Moss herself.. no need to explain that one. =)

[24] What would you like an endless supply of?
Beautiful and interesting fabrics. A sea of fabrics.. yes please.

[25] Girl crush?
Eva Mendez & Penelope Cruz. So sultry and sexy, but never overdone.

[26] Do you admire anyone’s style?
Karla Deras from Karla's Closet for always picking amazing vintage pieces and mixing them up with the basics. She's incredibly put together for her age.

[27] Describe your personal style.
I just like what I like.. But I'm big on the basics. I love me a white tee and denim shorts and then some hot shoes. I am obsessed with boots, and like to make my own accessories. But schizophrenic is probably the best way to sum it up, I'm half girly girl, half tomboy.

Thank you, Eden for the tag. I'll tag anyone who feels like answering questions about themselves, all y'all.. and Paula of Skurbanista (welcome back to real blogging!) =)
