WHAT\u2019S THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU\u2019VE EVER BEEN GIVEN?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>An artist who I\u2019ve admired my whole life told me that I know who I am artistically, and to not compromise on that. Simple, but combined with the person it came from, it hit hard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>B IS FOR\u2026 BIRTHPLACE. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Tucson, Arizona.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>C IS FOR\u2026 CRUSH. WHO\u2019S YOUR ULTIMATE CRUSH?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Michiko Malandro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>D IS FOR\u2026 DREAM. WHAT WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD DREAM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>I was a dancer for a long time and I think at one point I saw that for my future. I think I wanted to be a fashion designer at one point too? I just wanted to be somewhere in the intersection of entertainment and fashion. I think I landed there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>E IS FOR\u2026 ENDGAME. WHAT\u2019S YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>A slow-paced life. A gorgeous house outside the city with my lover. Enough space for some chickens and animals to take care of. A beautiful work studio to make art.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>F IS FOR\u2026 FOR YOU PAGE. WHAT\u2019S ON YOUR FYP RIGHT NOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Hot people and hair.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>G IS FOR\u2026 GOD. DO YOU HAVE FAITH OR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Sure. I believe in a God-like force. I think my self-care \u2013 therapy, writing, meditation \u2013 is part of my spiritual practice. For me there\u2019s spirituality in taking care of what\u2019s inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>H IS FOR\u2026 HOBBY. DO YOU HAVE A NICHE HOBBY?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Not that I would consider niche. My whole life and lifestyle is pretty niche, so really I enjoy some normality when I\u2019m off the clock; basic domestic stuff like cooking and hiking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I IS FOR\u2026 INTERNET. WHERE DO YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME ONLINE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>TikTok\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>J IS FOR\u2026 JOKES. WHO MAKES YOU LAUGH MOST IN THE WORLD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>My friends of course! I cannot single them out like that. Honestly I spend the most time laughing at\/with myself. I think I\u2019m hilarious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>K IS FOR\u2026 KISMET. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FATE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>I do. However, I also believe there are many outcomes or fates already written for us. I think we have a spiritual obligation to ourselves in order to manifest the most positive outcomes. You can\u2019t just rely on fate or destiny to take care of you without doing your part. Fate can also put you in some of the worst situations, if you\u2019re not moving with intention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>L IS FOR\u2026 LOVE. WHAT\u2019S THE MOST ROMANTIC THING THAT SOMEONE\u2019S EVER DONE FOR YOU?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>My laundry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>M IS FOR\u2026 MEME.

WHAT\u2019S YOUR FAVOURITE ANIMAL?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Capybaras are cool. I love how they\u2019re cool with the whole animal kingdom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>O IS FOR\u2026 OPINION. WHAT IS YOUR MOST CONTROVERSIAL OPINION?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>I CANNOT share that online!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>P IS FOR\u2026 PARTY. WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO GO OUT?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>A lot of my friends throw and play cool parties in Los Angeles, including Signal and Sorbet. I love the energy in New York. Honestly, though, house parties are always my favourite and it doesn\u2019t matter what city. I like being where my friends are, and I prefer somewhat intimate spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Q IS FOR\u2026 QUOTE.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE TRYING TO GET OVER THEIR EX?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Block them, it\u2019s best for both parties. And mute the mutuals who trigger that relationship. I think people think that\u2019s mean in some way, but it\u2019s a great start to focusing on yourself again. The digital presence of someone is heavy. If they\u2019re still in your phone, they\u2019re still on your mind. Spend time with friends. Go to therapy. And go party!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Y IS FOR\u2026 YOUNGER SELF.
