What’s the most elaborate lie you’ve ever told and gotten away with?

I’m not a liar but if I have to stretch the truth, a guy tried to pick me up once and asked me if I believe in love at first sight and I said I didn’t speak English.

What sound or noise do you love?

I can’t live without music, at the moment I listen to a lot of disco because it has such positive vibes. I also love the sounds of nature, especially the song of insects on a hot day as it reminds me of childhood summers in the countryside.

Empty out your pockets or purse. What are the contents?

Gucci sunglasses, a paperback book, my wallet with many cards I never use, Bose noise canceling headphones and plain chapstick.

Where would you most like to live?

I’m too young to answer this.  I love NY but I also love the beach but I also love the countryside but I also love new places. hahaha

What is your present state of mind?

Positive. That’s also what America brought me as a French girl: complain less, do more and enjoy 🙂
