Getting Personal

A response to Veronica's Q&A...

1. Who are you? Kieran O’Brien

2. Who/what inspires you? My friends constantly do, like Kim who doesn’t take crap from anyone or anything or Veronica who has the most exquisite taste and level head or Ish who has read, like, everything or my sister who is such a good student. The memory of my great grandmother…wow, that got heavy fast. The rest will be lighter, I promise.

3. What are your obsessions? (rightly so, Vero, if I had an iphone I’d be obsessed with it too.) Japanese Lolita Fashion, sex, Harvest Moon, the facebook app. ‘Pet Society’ – which is really just a manifestation of my obsession with cute stuff! Super kawaii! – sex, ANTM and sex.

4. What is your dream occupation? I got what you were hinting at Vero, you naughty naughty girl!

Everyone knows my dream occupation is to be a Disney Princess. More (or less?) realistically I’d like to be a translator of literature/poetry (but I don’t know more that one language! Lol) or an artist/writer (but I don’t do either, super lol). And in crazy-go-nuts fantasy land, I’d like to be the editor of a trendy magazine (Sassy? Nylon? Vouge? An all-powerful hybrid of the three…) or a famous photographer like Annie Leibovitz, but also a model, only sometimes, humbly and shyly emerging from behind the camera...

5. If you could buy anything, what would it be? Weird. For some reason my material libido just died. Just now! I would say either a dvd copy (which does not exist) of the independent movie I was in when I was 14 (for like 2 minutes, but that is way longer than the ½ second I was in Double Jeopardy for), a movie I never saw because it was inappropriate for children, a movie called The Hot Karl. OR this giant hello kitty fountain that was installed in New York this summer.

6. What attracts you? I agree with Veronica on the wit. I would say a shared passion steeped in both knowledge and intelligence.

7. Who is your ideal man? I am into pretty boys. To adapt the sagacious words of Mr. Ludacris, I want a “gentleman in the street but a freak in the bed.”

8. Who is the most handsome person on planet earth? Because Vero already picked Daniel Craig, I pick this guy - He might be the prettiest though, not the hansomest. Damn.

9. What do you think about fashion? Veronica told me “fashion is the ultimate fantasy.” So that’s how I think of it, not of something I could ever actually afford to do, but something I love to dream about. I think that’s what top designers are doing anyways, the clothes are just their dreams and it doesn’t really matter if anyone wears them or not. Art for art’s sake.

10. What is your biggest dream? one day, i hope to have a polar bear. BAM.
