I love music, my friends, painting, and writing. I always try to say what I mean and I almost aways mean what I say. Also, cookies are delicious.
How do you define cool?
Cool is bringing back the old, recognizing that nothing is unique, but the way you spin it can be. Lastly, getting awesome with yourself and being ok with who you are is always cool :)
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
My imagination :)
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
The freedom of being creative with basically any and all subject matter. And the people are wicked rad <3
What is your favorite trend?
Anything that Robyn writes ;) haha...
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Naked=Popular
How do you reset to be creative?
Honestly, doing anything out of the norm. New experiences cause me to think outside the box - and that's what you need to be successful here, I think.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
I will be married to Gaga and Aaron Neville, and we will own 8 million disco sticks.
