6. Don’t forget to copy & paste the award pic!

It depends really. Historical movies or TV shows with great costumes always interest me. I love Game of Thrones for the same reason, but I also love the storyline. I also quite enjoyed watching Project Runway, and of course I was a fan of Sex and the City. As far as movies go that’s an easy one. I love any movies Gary Oldman is in. I think I’ve seen Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy about 50 times now. Another quirky movie I love is The Women On the other end of the spectrum Shaun of the Dead, Dogma and Fight Club never get old for me.
2. How did you decide on the name of your blog?
I wanted something that would sound like it was informative and entertaining at the same time. I thought “Spastic Fashionista” was too literal and just plain “Spashionista” was a little bit tongue in cheek so I came up with Spashionista Report.
3. How would you describe your fashion style?
My style is very feminine even if I’m wearing clothes that are quite structured. I also love color and look best when I’m wearing something a little flirty. Most of all its very genuine. I’m not afraid to buck the current trends as long as what I’m wearing is comfortable and suits me.
4. What’s your favorite accessory?
That’s a tough one to answer! Do shoes count as an accessory? If so then it would have to be my shoes. It’s very difficult for me to find beautiful shoes that I can wear so I take great pride in my collection. I’m also into bracelets quite a bit and received several for my birthday. I’m venturing into the world of scarves as well.
5. What types of blogs do you read?
I read blogs about interesting people. Most of them are fashion blogs but I do have quite a few disabled friends that write very compelling blogs. I enjoy reading about someone else’s take on life, fashion, experiences, etc. I read blogs about street fashion and about couture. Some lifestyle blogs really interest me as well. The one thing that’s for certain is I never have enough time to read every blog I would like too!
6. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Believe it or not, I’m an introvert who is trying very hard to be an extrovert! At my age I don’t really have time to waste so I want to be able to communicate effectively with people and be charming about it.
7. What do you think is the best thing about blogging?
For me the best thing about blogging by far has been finding people who appreciate what I’m saying and can identify with my message. I spent a lot of years doing graphic arts, which is a very solitary pastime, so I’m pleasantly surprised to see how many people are interested in what I have to say.
8. If you could hang out with any fictitious group of people (from a tv show, movie, book) who would it be and why?
Wow, that’s a hard question! I would probably enjoy being a part of the Harry Potter World. There’s a certain stylishness to it – not to mention the appeal of all the magic. I like magic and fantasy worlds and characters when they’re well written. I love some of the Superhero stories, too, because they are our new mythology. Who wouldn’t want that?
9. Peanut butter, creamy or crunchy?
Not a fan of peanut butter at all. Sorry!
10. How long have you been blogging?
Just a little over a year.
11. What is one of your favorite lines from a movie, song, book, poem, etc?
“There’s a fine line between an outfit and get up.” from The Women.
“The fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt.” from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
“You’ve been all over – and it’s been all over you.” from It’s a Beautiful Day.
I always love readsing the answers to the questions–it helps me get to know you better!!
I tried to keep them short and sweet, Tamera! 😉
So nice to learn even more about you, Alicia. I’m so glad you’re here.
Thank you, Alys. I feel very much the same way about you and your blog 🙂
Awww…you just made my day. Thank you!
Yeayyyy you! You’re an excellent woman to have received honor and you’ve made excellent choices in women to honor in your turn. Nice to meet new people, especially these interesting women.
When you mention “The Women” do you mean the old one or the remake?
You have, BTW and IMHO, met your goal of effective and charming communication, and then some.
Thanks so much, Jan! My goal was to get my readers to know what great blogs my nominees write.
I’ve never seen the original version of The Women, but I’d like to someday. I’m so very Sylvie it’s uncanny LOL!
We’re surprisingly alike, Alicia! I don’t like peanut butter either. I also love Shaun of the Dead, Dogma, and Fight Club (Mmm Brad Pitt).
I answered your questions for my blog! Hopefully they are coherent. Pain meds have me a little loopy and droopy today.
Oh, Megan – take those meds, sweetie! Having my wisdom teeth cut out was so painful I nearly blacked out! I have a big “to do” list today but I’ll read them when I’m done with it – and thanks for answering the questions! 😉
What a great post! I loved reading your responses to the questions…I was scrambling for ideas and threw in the peanut butter question! Thanks so much for participating!
