#eating this up nomnomnom thank you very much

[fairsweetlonging]

oooohhhohohohohh!!! yes i think i WILL think about this for a good long while

especially if the system speaks to them too in that creepy, robotic voice, like something not quite dead and not quite alive, something that mimics speech but hasn't figured out how to sound human at all

it's giving me "Coraline" vibes and i LOVE that, the puppetry, the unnatural eyes, the fake friendliness and inviting the peak lords to "play games", like the enitity is on their side, like it wants them to succeed—but why would such a thing want them to win?

why, for a good story, of course

Continuing on the brainrot from here. I'm just having fun making the system the biggest bastard. Now, all the peak lords must do some very fun missions to restore SQQ's account/soul! yippeeeee angst time

Ballade of the Lost Ones - Wandering / Chapter 2

Characters: Yuzuru, Tsumugi, Niki, Madara, Rei Proofreaders: Aru, Oli, Azu

＜Several Days After the Bag Thief Incident＞

Yuzuru: Cleaning, cleaning, funfufufu~n♪

Moving the broom to a fixed rhythm is the most efficient way to sweep up the falling petals. My skills haven’t faltered either. 

Ah, meeting expectations as expected…♪

Oh, there seem to be more sakura petals falling over there. I’d like to clean those too if possible.

But I’m almost out of time, and in addition, I mustn’t completely take over someone else’s job. I must restrain myself.

Tsumugi: ……

……? (Rubbing his eyes as if he’s hallucinating)

Yuzuru: Oh? Aoba-sama, a pleasure to see you. 

You seem to be in a state of shock, are you alright?

What is the reason for you staring at me with such bewilderment?

Tsumugi: …Ah, this is ES, right? My brain confused this place for Yumenosaki Academy for a moment there. 

Maybe I should instead be asking why you’re cleaning here, Fushimi-kun? ES has its own cleaning staff, after all.

Yuzuru: I am well aware. I believe a member of staff was cleaning here until a short while ago, but it seems they’ve been absent for a while now.

When my hand subconsciously reached for it, a strong yearning swept over me and I simply began to clean. 

Since I have been living in the dormitory and no longer need to clean the Himemiya Family’s estate, I’ve completely lost the opportunity to pick up a broom.  

Tsumugi: Ah. Now that you mention it, I can see what you mean.

You don’t need to use a broom in any of the dormitory rooms. And all the other spaces are cleaned by the janitorial staff. 

Yuzuru: It is as you say– Ah, it’s that time already…!

Thank you very much for your understanding, Aoba-sama. Anzu-san has called for me after this, so you’ll have to excuse me soon.  

Tsumugi: Eh? You too, Fushimi-kun?

Truthfully, I’ve been called by Anzu-chan as well. You’re heading to the “COCHI” Meeting Room, right?

I was also going to head over there in just a moment.

Yuzuru: You’re going as well, Aoba-sama? I was sure it was a task I had to take care of.

Judging by this situation, others may be assembled as well.

＜30 Minutes Later. “COCHI”, a Coffee Shop Near ES Building＞

Niki: Huff, huff. Hiyaaaa~☆

Madara: Hi there! –Huh, wait? What’s up, Niki-san? You’re sweating like crazy.

Yuzuru: So it seems that Sakuma-sama, Mikejima-sama, Aoba-sama, Shiina-sama, and myself were all summoned to this place.

Niki: –Wha!? There’re way more people here than just me!?

What even is this? Anzu-neesan told me to come here so she could get my help with something, no doubt about it–

I thought I was gonna be taste-testing a new menu item, I even skipped all the way here from the dorms!?

I never once gave up, even when it felt like my legs were gonna break!!

Rei: So then, is that why you’re sweating so much? I can’t imagine you’d sweat that much naturally in early spring.  

Madara: Hahaha☆ Aren’t you just overflowing with energy?!

Niki: Noooo, I can’t do this anymore… I used up all my energy just getting here, I can’t move anymore. Goodbye, cruel world…!

Rei: Shiina-kun, what on earth are you doing? You’re being unexpectedly serious. 

Tsumugi: It would be fine if you ate something while waiting for Anzu-chan, wouldn’t it? There’s still some time until the meeting is supposed to start. 

Niki: Whoa! That’s a great idea!! Alrighty, I’ll take one “Seasonal Burger Plate”!

＜About 10 Minutes Later＞

Niki: Nomnomnom…♪ 

Madara: Niki-san sure eats a lot. Since I’m a big eater myself, I feel a sort of connection with you ☆

Yuzuru: I do recall Mikejima-sama set up food and drink carts at the school gates relatively frequently. 

Madara: That really brings back the memories. I can remember how a furious Keito-san would rush in after a while like it was just yesterday. Hahaha!

Yuzuru: Please do not laugh about such matters. As I was not a member of the student council at that time, I could only watch and remain in my position–

Oh? It seems like Anzu-san arrived at some point during that exchange. In that case, let’s end the stories of reminiscence. 

Anzu-san, welcome. …Yes, there are five of us gathered here. 

Ah, now that everyone who Anzu-san called for is present, shall we begin?

For what important matter did you bring us here today?

Eh? There’s someone you want to introduce me to?

–Ah, you are…

Niki: Nomnom– Aaah~! Aren’t you that guy whose bag was snatched the other day!?

Rei: What on earth do you mean by snatched?

Yuzuru: Truthfully–

＜Several Minutes Later＞

Rei: …Hm. So to summarise your story–

Fushimi-kun and Shiina-kun happened upon a scene of larceny, and this man they helped also happens to be a film director.

Madara: It seems that coincidences like these truly do exist.

Though I don’t think I’ve heard the story of “I met someone downtown who also happened to be a film director” before.

Rei: Well, there is a phrase that reality is often stranger than fiction.

 In any case, this director wanted to request for Fushimi-kun and Shiina-kun to star in his film and therefore made an offer to ES for a film production, however…

At the present moment, ES’ hands are full and he was pushed aside. 

Tsumugi: It’s a shame to say this, but as someone who is involved with office management I can give some insight.

Every department has its hands full with something this time of year, so it’s not easy to plan new projects. Therefore I think something like a movie that takes a lot more time is even more likely to be dismissed. 

Niki: Hm? Isn’t that strange though? Why did Director-san come here with Anzu-neesan if ES rejected it?

Yuzuru: I believe Anzu-san raised her hand to take on this plan as a part of “P Choice”.

Rei: Oh, I see. What a good idea.

After becoming an independent individual from the “P Association”, Ojou-chan has become responsible for the “P Choice” project.

Certainly, since this is the case, she can also take over projects that have been rejected from ES.  

Niki: So then the reason we were called here today is… Yuzuru: We will be appearing in this director’s film as a part of “P Choice”, correct?

[pastryfilledpup]

(You don't have to publically answer this I just want to be a weirdo and vent my admiration for your work haha)

I commented on your story but I wanted to reach out to your tumblr but I love your feeder s0ush!n fic so much I just wanted to say it again. I'm so happy you mentioned your tw!tter- I went there instantly haha. All of that sh!n art is so good he's soo cute when he's so fat and so soft. The convenience store uniform and the ramen picture were my favorites but they're all wonderful

(Apologies for rambling now and it might be tmi!) I appreciate extreme wg a lot, but I do think I lean to the less extreme side usually. I still like him big though haha. In your story I loved your description of his waistband pressing against his stomach until his button fly popped, that type of thing is really really hot shdjsj the taughtness of a full belly after being overfed a big meal is one of the best things ever.

But a soft, big tummy after gaining weight over a long period of eating good food every day is really good too! I think both sudden and slow wg suit s0ush!n a lot.

With the way S0u photographs sh!n a lot, one of my absolute favorite things to think about is how he would love to document sh!n's weight gaining progress over time both with pictures and written log of how sh!n enjoyed (or not) his meals that day or if he needed to shop for new clothes that fit him. He would take his measurements and weight down too of course haha. Having the photos to visually compare his body from the beginning to the weight he is at now is an added bonus.

Thank you for sharing your work again! I loved s0u pouring ramen broth into sh!n's mouth so much, but if I could make any request for any future works it would be so nice to see a hand-feeding s0ush!n scene with food you can eat by hand!

(again you do not have to answer this- just the fact that I could get my feelings out is enough! thank you for all that you share and I look forward to all of your future writing!)

no actually i will answer this mwuahhaha 😈😈😈

but omg???? do NOT apologize to me this kind of ranting is what i live for!!!! do you understand the rush of dopamine and inspiration and motivation i get from seeing things like this???? that's why i ask people to reach out! it's such a huge encourager and omfg i just want to write write write!!!! you're words are so kind and so sweet...ahh im tearing up smiling and laughing.

also your ideas for soushin???? nomnomnom im eating them UP! ill be honest im not even a huge soushin fan but i feel their dynamic is perfect for feederism...poor shin who wants to stop being thin, and the overly affectionate to the point of being sadistic sou, who just wants to show his love for the boy...aghhhh is so good. i would love to do a handfeeding fic sometime! handfeeding is so intimate and sweet...so relaxing and gentle... but i feel sou might not be too sweet the whole time, haha.

oughh and the things you said about the photos and documents ahiqoahywjaj uthrhshgajak urhhhghhgg ohhhh that's rotting my brain...id be so down to do something like that but doing a long slowburn is very intimidating... perhaps sometime in the future...

also im in the same boat haha. i don't like extreme sizes too much and usually find them more fun in art, but i cap myself to certain limits when writing and such. the convenience store one i admit i didn't give the artist much description, just told them to make him huge 😅. but i still love how he came out, and i love that artist very much. the soup one is also very lovely! part of my fic was inspired by that one. my personal favorite is the sleepy catboy, since i just want to cuddle with him so bad 🥹

but again, thank you for reaching out to me!!!! it makes me so happy im like yeah yeah yeah!!! weirdos forever!!! i have given up hiding my weird interests which is why i uploaded and started doing these works, because i was tired of not getting any good or genuine ones!!! being open about this has made me so happy, especially knowing there are others like me who want it! and dont ever be afraid to ramble as i eat it all up!!!!! my brain is rotten with wg shin ideas, do not be afraid to share i would love to hear them. my ask box is always open, and so are my dms. i am available here and anywhere you are comfortable. thank you really truly thank you. you are wonderful. i hope you enjoy what i have coming up next.

from your friend, pastrypup <3

Takaomi:

tch

It has to be the monster girl now of all times?

Senri:

Monster… ?!

Oh, you mean your sister?

Takaomi:

--- Hello. Whaddaya want.

Like. I. Said. I ain’t going back. I’m not joking, it’s a pain in the ass.

Senri:

( ….. )

// With a sigh, I turn on the TV. Since it’s a Christmas special, a Christmas song blares from the speakers. A clip of parents and their children having fun together is being shown on screen. //

Senri:

Sigh…

Takaomi:

Don’t make so much noise when people are talking on the phone.

// While clicking his tongue Shishimaru, who seems to have finished his conversation, lobs his phone at the sofa. //

Senri:

If your family is calling you, I think you should go.

Takaomi:

Hah?

Senri:

At the end of the day, it’s better to spend Christmas with your family, isn’t it?

Takaomi:

… Shut up. I’ll do whatever I want.

Senri:

( If your family is calling you, it’s better to go, isn’t it… )

// A few days later.

When I return to the room, Shishimaru was there. //

Senri:

Huh? Weren’t you going back home for a while?

Takaomi:

I just showed my face since they would make a big fuss afterwards.

… Here you go.

Senri:

Eh? What’s this?

// Inside the tupperware he threw to me, there was a small little Santa Claus. //

Senri:

Ah, the Cake Santa… Not quite! I don’t even have a retort for this. In the first place, where’s the cake?!

Takaomi:

There’s no cake. If you have issues then just throw that away too.

Senri:

No way~! This is mine now! Thanks for the fooooood! Ahhh~! Nomnomnom…

smile …..

Takaomi:

Any thoughts?

Senri:

… It’s not very nice.

Takaomi:

It’s rare for us to share an opinion.

Senri:

You let me eat it even though you knew it wasn’t nice! What a twisted personality!

Takaomi:

Haa?! You were the one who said you wanted to eat it!

// The Cake Santa wasn’t very nice but…

For Christmas this year, it seems my other wish might come true. //

yeah my christmas wish came true too

Being A Dog Whisperer Comes In Handy!

Being a dog whisperer can come in really handy! Especially when you live with a lab cross puppy whose nickname is “Butter Boy”.

You can imagine where this story is going…

My life as a dog whisperer and The Butter Boy

First a little backstory… My lifelong dream of having my own personal chef has come true!

I confess I’m not much of a cook. Like my Mom who didn’t much enjoy cooking “real food” because she loved the sweets, I’m more of a baker.  My specialties are PBJ sandwiches, homemade jello, cookies and muffins and yummy goodies like that.  And truth be told, I do a much better job cooking for the dogs than I do for people!

My life partner and husband Joern is who I affectionately refer to as my personal chef. He’s an excellent cook, even better, he loves to cook, plan meals and shop for the ingredients. Did I mention he also loves to eat?

Oh yea. And as much as he loves to cook his culinary creations, he also loves sharing them with me, his sweetheart.

How lucky am I, eh?

Being a dog whisperer comes in very handy when the unexpected happens

Last night, Joern fixed us a delicious meal. As usual, we grabbed our plates and retired to our sitting area where we love to chat, chill, read, eat, and watch whatever TV show we’re currently bingeing.

We just finished watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (OMG we love her!) and are now watching The Expanse. We love to indulge in one or all of the activities above with our doggies by our side—it’s a family thing.

I went to get us dessert (my homemade sugar and gluten-free Samoa cookies, which Joern says are the best cookies he’s ever had, high praise from my gourmand hubby)…

When I saw it.

The Evidence.

The golden Kerrygold butter wrapper was torn into little gnarly, wet slimy bits, and shreds of it were strewn all over the kitchen floor. Uh oh. Joern had used a little bit of a whole new stick of butter in our cauliflower rice and left it on the counter by the stove while we ate dinner.

But now?

No butter left. It had inexplicably disappeared while we were distracted by our show.

Timmy, our border collie, had been at our side the entire time, hoping for handouts and watching for something to spill off our plates.  He’s always ready to jump into action to clean the floor instantly in case of spillage, and loves to help us “do the dishes”. So he was not the butter thief.

Which can only leave…

SAMWISE, our newly-adopted lab mix pup, now forever known as Thief, aka The Butter Boy.

Oh dear.

Vals dogs Timmy and Samwise love to communicate

Oh no! Time for the dog whisperer to jump into action

So…is Samwise’s tummy going to rebel from eating a whole stick of butter?

Will we be up all night dealing with throw up or diarrhea or with a sick doggo needing emergency attention?

What a scary, potential nightmare, eh? Most dog parents in this situation can only sit and wait nervously, watching for signs that their dog is about to be sick or worse.

But if you’re a dog whisperer, you can tackle the problem head-on through a conversation with your best friend.

Just ask your pet how they feel.

So I asked him. “Sam, how does your tummy feel?”

“Fine. I feel good.” (Samwise has the sweetest, clearest voice.)

“You ate a lot of butter. Sometimes that can make a doggy feel really awful. We never eat that much butter all at once… I’m worried. Will you let me know if you feel sick later?”

“Sure, Mom! But I feel good right now and I’m sorry you’re worried about me. It was really tasty, I like butter.  And it was right there on the edge of the counter too! NomNomNom…” as he licked his lips in delight.

I said, “Thanks for telling me that – I got it! We like butter too. You’re off the hook for now Sam until we know you’re okay. But later we’ll discuss your stealing our food off the counter!”

Sam still felt fine when we went to bed. But around 3 a.m. he woke me asking to go outside just like we’d discussed.

He scooted quickly outside, did his thing, and I waited until he was ready to come back inside again. When he was ready, he came in and we all curled back up on the bed and slept well the rest of the night.

I woke up to find him and his toy dinosaur sitting on my pillow looking at me, in our happy place, ready to greet the day.

Vals dog Samwise is a natural dog whisperer too

Potential crisis averted.

Are you ready to start talking to your dog with more than just hand signals and voice cues? Your furry friends have so much to say. Go here and get started talking to your best friends in a whole new way.

I’m SO grateful I’m a dog whisperer. Talking to all animals is an intuitive skill that comes in very handy in so many countless ways.

For instance, when your pet doesn’t feel well?  Ask them if they’re in pain, what happened to make them hurt, and what they need to feel better.

When they act out in mysterious bad dog behavior?  Ask them why what they’re doing makes sense to them.  Are they confused?  Upset?  Afraid?  Why and what can we do about that as a partnership?

If they are getting ready to make their transition?  A heart to heart conversation will make all the difference in the world between a peaceful, easier passing versus a traumatic, grief stricken experience for both of you.

Because here’s the thing – anything can happen at any time.

You just never know when you’ll need to talk about something really important.

And that’s why you’re in my Tribe of Animal Lovers!

Make a point of talking to an animal today. Keep the conversation alive by checking with them frequently and find out what’s going on in their world.

Seriously, you don’t want to wait until something is wrong to make the effort to communicate. By then it could be too late.

If you’re ready to start your journey in the wonderful world of Animal Communication, it’s time to start!

3 Things About Me

Well, I don’t believe I’ve ever said it before on my blog but much like my nominator my name is also Megan (although an English Megan so it’s not pronounced in the American way which makes me wince every time I hear it, sorry American Megans…)

When I was a teenager I had a blog about baking which, looking back now is a bit cringey because I wasn’t a hugely successful cook and my writing was probably awful. It’s still out there somewhere, gone feral in the internet wilderness, I won’t attempt to find it or share the link though because I’m too embarrassed

Fairly recently I adopted a couple of rats named Hanzo and Genji and they are very spoiled and very adorable

    My Best Post

I wrote a post called Adulting and Gaming: My Struggle To Do Both and even though I wrote it back in October it is my only ‘old’ post that still gets fairly frequent visitors and comments.

Megan’s Questions

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I really, really, really wanted to be a popstar. I had no other ambitions other than one time I wanted to be a waitress but that was mostly because in the movies they always wore cute outfits and ended up marrying a rich, handsome man (feminism, right?) I still have no realistic idea of what I want to do despite being in the working world now so not much has changed but I can assure you all that unfortunately I am not a popstar… Or am I????? (That would be an awesome twist, wouldn’t it?)

2. If you had to describe yourself using only 5 words, what would they be?

Shy – I’m quite quiet and a bit socially awkward until I get to know people well

Weird – In a good way, well I think so…

Geeky – I’ll happily go on about my favourite fandoms for ages until someone shuts me up

Open-minded – I think that everyone should believe what they want to believe and do whatever they want to do as long as it’s not harmful to anyone while respecting everyone else’s beliefs and lifestyles.

Indecisive – This list took me far longer to write than I care to admit.

3. What TV show, book, or game has most impacted you personally?

This is a difficult one because there are so many! Books were my first love before games or TV shows so I think that one of my most read books, The Hobbit, would probably be it. It launched me into an incredible fantasy world that defined my go to genre, from that I discovered so many other books, and then games and TV shows, that have all impacted me and had a hand in shaping who I am today. It’s also a book that no matter how old I’ve been when I’ve read it I’ve always enjoyed it just as much as the last time. I can’t remember if that was my first ever fantasy book, probably not, but it’s definitely the one I remember reading the most (even more so than Harry Potter which was sooooo close to being chosen instead).

4. If you could be any villain in a TV show, book, or game, who would you be and why?

I think I’d be someone like Gabriel from Supernatural because he has a lot of fun. (If you don’t want to know anything about this character skip to the next question because I’m kind of dancing over a minefield of spoilers here) I don’t think I could ever be evil, I’d be more of a mischievous annoyance if I was to be on the bad side of anything and he certainly ticks the box there. I would also quite happily just stay out of any drama going on between powerful forces but would ultimately side with good if things were to get out of hand so I can also see myself going down his path. His episodes are hands down some of the best and while, yes he’s not a villain in the traditional sense he does annoy a lot of people. I mean who isn’t an alternating villain/good guy at some point in Supernatural anyway?

5. [weird] What strange food combinations do you really enjoy?

I don’t think that this is weird but everyone I eat it in front of seems to think it is: peanut butter and celery. I like getting a stick of celery and spreading the peanut butter so that it fills the dip in the celery. Nomnomnom…

My questions

If you could wear any video game/Movie characters’ outfit for a day (male or female) whose would you choose and why?

Which song would play during the credits in a movie about your life?

Which scene in a movie/tv show always makes you laugh?

What did you get for Christmas?

(weird question) Do you have any weird talents?

A Quick Q&A With Model Iman Mariah

Q: Hi, thank you for interviewing with us, for our readers online tell us about yourself.

A: Hi Promo Mag, thank you for having me. Ummmm lets see. Well, My name is Iman Mariah and I'm from The Boogie Down Bronx. That's The Bronx, New York for those of you who didn't know what I meant hahah I have a college degree in writing, I'm into astrology and esoteric theology, and I have reflexes like a cat. Meow

 Q: What is the best part of the job as a model? Have you met creatives who are now called your best friends?

A: The best parts of my job as a model are meeting extraordinary creatives and shooting editorials. I love getting into character and challenging myself. Which pose can I try this time? Which pose can I break the rules with? How abstract can my body look? When should I be simple yet powerful? All the while, I'm coming into contact with very talented people. Of course there are creatives that I've bonded with. One in particular is Demanti O'Bryant, a mother agent now based in Atlanta, GA. Our understanding and resonance of one another every time we come together to chat about scouting or developing one of his models is uncanny. 

 Q: Did you play any sports? If so did sports helped to prepare you for the rigors of modeling?

A: hahaha No I do not play any sports. All my life people would ask if I was a basketball player because of my height. I attempted it as well as track-and-field but I don't have the best knees and therefore turned towards Theatre. Sports did not prepare me for the rigors of modeling but Theater sure did. I understood what it meant to be apart of an ensemble, essentially a team player who communicated with each member and worked as a unit to achieve a overall goal. 

 Q: Did you ever realize how successful you could be as a model before you started?

A: Growing up I didn't have the best confidence. I was that girl who was shy, hanged out in the library, and had an extremely small group of friends. I didn't realize my beauty and honestly I had a lot to live up to considering I was named after the first African supermodel of the world, IMAN. If it weren't for my mother who constantly told me that I'm a beautiful girl, I would've never summed up the courage to pursue modeling.      

 Q: How did you get your start?

A: I started modeling upon graduating college. From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to model but I also knew how important it was for my parents, especially my mom that I went and graduated college. I was always an easy and responsible child so ended up putting my dreams on pause for their satisfaction. I actually was extremely close to dropping out my last semester of  my last year in college because my soul was literally begging me to begin modeling. However, I completed my education and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Writing and English. But as soon as I received my diploma, I headed back to NYC with ferocious determination.

 Q: When the shoot is done, do you look at the images and find hard to recognize yourself in all

those glamorous photos.

A: Actually, when I shoot I do not like looking at the images. Yeah, maybe one or two glances is okay so that I know that I'm on the right track with achieving the creative vision. However, I feel like if I'm constantly looking at the images as I'm shooting, then I would either get content with what I'm producing or over think my every move. Now if you mean post production once I receive the final images, then absolutely! I predominately shoot natural looking shoots and still I stare in amaze....thinking, wow... I seriously do not give myself enough credit. I need to show myself some more love, yah know? 

 Q: What do you do to calm your nerves beforehand? Before the shoot starts.

A: Before the shoot starts, I like to take deep breaths to calm myself. I physically gather the energies around me, swirl it into a ball, and push it towards the world. Nice long deep breaths in from my nostrils and out through my mouth can make all the difference.

 Q: Many beginner models always want to know how do you continuously stay in character during a whole day shoot?

A: To continuously stay in character during a whole day shoot is by being yourself. Crack jokes in between shots or breaks, talk to the Makeup Artist or Stylist and get to know them. Find out how long they been pursuing their crafts and where they're originally from. Take selfies and post on Instagram story or Snapchat. Eat! take advantage of any free snacks, fruits and water. Dance and bop your head to the music that's playing. When you're completely stress free and yourself, you're able to stay in character more because you're not constantly "trying" to stay in character. Get it?   

  Q: If you are a foodie and if not thats cool, what is favorite meal to have?

A: Yes, I'm very much of a foodie though I am a Pescatarian so I'm not too sure if I qualify as one because my choices are a bit limited. hahaha but my favorite meal to date would have to be a lightly toasted bagel with a grilled crispy Salmon lox on a bed of avocados, sauteed veggies, and tomato topped with capers. #nomnomnom

 Q: Do you have a favorite designer & photographer who inspires you? Why is that?

A: Wow, of course that is hard to answer because of course i'm gonna think about the now. Right now, I'm very much inspired by BALMAIN. The brand breathes women empowerment, sex appeal, and royalty. Everything I see my greatest self being. As per my favorite photographer... that's still in the works ^__^ 

  Q: If you could vacation anywhere in the world with a friend or a relative, where would you go and what would you do there?

A: If I could vacation anywhere in the world with a friend or relative, I would visit the Blue Lagoon hot springs in Iceland with my dad. He is the most hardest working person I know. He deserves the world <3

 Q: Who is your most favorite musical idol? Someone you can listen to on a road trip for hour on

repeat?

A: Digging deep I see. haha Hands down, it would be Willow Smith. There's something about her "wise beyond her years" lyrics and voice that resonant with me so much. Female Energy, is pure genius. 

 Q: What has been the most encouraging thing you’ve heard about your personality?

A: Honestly, I don't really pay attention to what the celebrities of today are up to. Though, I do admire Model, Activist and Founder of Gurls Talk, Adwoa Aboah. If you follow her on Instagram, its self explanatory.

 Q: Who excites you the most (Celebrity) & why?

A: Honestly, I don't really pay attention to what the celebrities of today are up to. Through, Cardi B has thoroughly impressed me with the successes of her song, "Bodak Yellow".

 Q: Everyone has a favorite emoji that they use, what do you use the most?

A: Definitely the caramel skin toned "I'm grateful" hand position and the pink rose.

 Q: What are your world-dominating goals as a model?

A: Becoming a household name.
