What were you doing when you were scouted? Walking downtown on Memorial Day.
How would you describe your style? During the week, I dress professionally for work. However, on the weekends my style is more relaxed — I like to wear colorful clothing, feminine pieces, patterns and tribal-inspired prints.
What are your current favorite fashion trends? I love all of the bright coral colors for summer and I’m excited about wide-leg jeans being back in style.
What are your least favorite fashion trends? Altheletic wear worn when people aren’t working out.
What would you like to see more of in Lawrence? I’d love a roller rink. My family loves to roller skate but we don’t like having to drive to Kansas City to skate.
What would you like to see less of in Lawrence? I’d like to see less poverty in Lawrence. I hate seeing people without homes, young families and young children with no homes.
Do you have any fashion influences? I follow several fashion blogs, some that I’ve read for years. I’m also influenced by street wear and fashion-forward women in Lawrence.
Do you have any piercings or tattoos? I have my ears pierced.
People say I look like… Roasario Dawson from “Kids” and “Josie and the Pussycats.”
Tell us a secret: I hate mayonnaise! If I order a sandwich with no mayo and the server brings it on the side — I have to hide it, I can’t even look at it.

I refuse to believe that we're in an economic slump if someone is actually being paid to write this drivel.

I refuse to believe that we're in an economic slump without being an ornery grumplestiltskin. Write on, Caitlin, and stack that cheddar!
