1. What turns you on, creatively or otherwise?
Kady Z: Anything colorful. When I see a box of markers or French macarons, I get wild!
2. What’s a good tip for someone who wants to be you for Halloween?
Halloween is like a big performance, and it’s my favorite holiday besides Christmas, so strap on some thigh high boots. I never get on stage without ’em.
3. Which celebrity’s hair do you covet most?
Does the Little Mermaid count as a celebrity?
4. What would your death-row last meal be?
A toasted bagel with triple cream cheese, an enormous grilled cheese sandwich, and a brownie with a gigantic dollop of crème fraiche. Now I'm hungry.
5. What’s your juiciest vice or guiltiest pleasure?
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos! They're so spicy, but I can't stop eating them.
6. What extravagant purchase should probably make you feel guiltier?
Anything from YSL, Dolce & Gabbana, or Alice and Olivia. It's not fair how amazing they are!
7. When’s the last time you wanted to slap someone?
Yesterday. My stepmom is bozo.
8. What most likely made that stain on your outfit?
I try to not get everything all over myself, but most of the time it's something stupid like a smoothie that I spilled on my arm.
9. Describe your favorite undergarment.
I would, but then I'd have to kill you!
10. What’s a lie you’ve told more than once?
That I want a side salad instead of fries.
BONUS: Where do you see yourself in five minutes?
Getting an organic vegetable juice. After all this talk of vices and last meals, I need a healthy intervention before I go and do something stupid!
