Any fashion regrets? I bleached all of my hair by myself when I was 18. I ended up with yellow hair for weeks.
Passions: I really enjoy practicing circus/aerial arts; I’m getting ready to run away to the circus any time now. I’m also incredibly passionate about my handmade lingerie line. I spend nearly every night at my sewing table, creating beautiful pieces that I’m super proud of (etsy.com/shop/showmeyourslingerie).
Too much in my life: Dog hair.
Not enough: Lint rollers.
Always up for: A good conspiracy theory.
Never up for: Believing the official narrative.
Early for: Literally nothing.
