- You’re on a desert island (or a 3-day music festival”> and you can only have 3 hair products… Priscilla: Water (since that would be scarce in a desert”>, Kinky-Curly Knot Today, and Kinky-Curly Curling Custard, for the baddest (meaning good!”> twist-out that desert island has ever seen.
- Your favorite blog Priscilla: Garance Dore, although I have to admit that I don’t really read it. I just love the fashion photography and her illustration!
- Where do you go for inspiration Priscilla: Pinterest or #2 (my fav blog”> and in real life: the public library, juvenile section. I always find the books there much more refreshing and interesting and of course, inspiring. I like to write and if I was a professional writer I think I would choose that audience.
- Your favorite Austin spot Priscilla: It used to be the “food truck mall” on SoCo before it closed, sadly. I enjoy trying new foods and just eating tasty food in general. I’ve been in Austin for about year and a half but I haven’t really gotten out and enjoyed it. Working on that!
- Favorite snack Priscilla: Chips and Salsa or Turkey Bacon.
- Your all-time Holy. Grail. Product. Priscilla: The one product I always go back to since first trying it 2 years ago would be Kinky-Curly Knot Today. I just like the slip and how it smooths over my hair.
- Book on your nightstand Priscilla:Holy Bible ESV and Writing a Great Movie: Key Tools for Successful Screenwriting. Not that I read the second one before bed or anything, ha!
- A project you’re working on Priscilla: Slowly but slowly I am trying to learn about screenwriting and film. Yeah, very slowly. Also, like most other K-pop fans, I am learning some Korean and desperately looking for a way to visit South Korea and meet my favorite artists in person. I’m only half kidding about that!
- Your style icon Priscilla: Oooh tough. It would be a combo of different people and influences. I’m definitely influenced by some of the style I see while enjoying one of my favorite pastimes: watching Korean dramas! I don’t always intentionally look at fashion mags or anything I just sort of pick up things I like here and there from people on the streets of Austin, my stylish coworkers (**winks**”>, my sister, and the casual airport fashion of Korean celebrities. One celebrity whose style I admire, but don’t necessarily directly imitate (because he’s a dude!”> is Kwon Ji-yong aka G-dragon of Big Bang.
- Favorite part of working at NaturallyCurly Priscilla:The people and our purpose! It would not be half as much fun without those two things together.
