Describe your style: It changes, usually with how the weather is. In the summer I usually sport more rockability style but in the winter I tend to go a little bit more alternative, because you can layer that better.
Fashion trends you love: I really like the pastel hair colors, and I like that androgyny is in style now.
Fashion trends you hate: I don’t like Ugg boots; I think they’re really ugly. I don’t like flat-brimmed caps.
Fashion influences: I like a lot of pin-up models, so I get a lot of inspiration from that, but also I would have to say Nicki Minaj — it’s kind of trashy, but glamorous at the same time.
What are your favorite and least favorite things about Lawrence? We’re really community-based, and I really like that. My least favorite would have to be how people react after sports teams win.
Tattoos or piercings: Septum and eyebrow piercings; seven tattoos
What’s your spirit animal? My spirit animal would have to be Elvira. She’s really rad, and she’s a strong woman but also she’s really feminine.
Whom do people say you look like? When my hair was longer, people said I kinda looked like the evil witch lady in “Once Upon a Time.”
Tell us a secret: “Moulin Rouge” was not a bad movie.
