all your food is frozen and needs to be defrosted

i was flipping through an old jalouse issue, from june of this year, and i came upon a brief interview with it girl alice dellal. and i thought it was cute, so i decided to post its' translated version here.


a town ? london.
a pub ? camden.
a book ? the wind in the willows by kenneth grahame.
a restaurant ? any lebanese cuisine.
a movie ? top secret by the zucker brothers.
a band ? the rum shebeen or eraserheads.
a brand ? charlotte olympia (her sister's shoes) or house of holland.
your style ? nineties.
a vacation spot ? rio da janeiro.
a boutique ? ebay.
a dream ? being a ballet dancer or a tattoo artist.
your projects ? working on my photography & learning to drive.
where do you see yourself in five years ? behind the wheel !
jalouse is one of the few magazines i feel privileged to read. maybe it's the fact that it's european and hence a bit more hard to come by here in north america, or maybe it's the smart material that is offered to me in the variety of articles it publishes. either way, i savour every last drop of jalouse, with no exceptions.
yes, it's rare i actually purchase it. it's like six bucks and i'm a cheap-ass ! but i scavenge for it amidst tigerbeat & martha stewart weddings in the (not-so) vast array of magazines offered at my local grocers, pharmacies and corner stores.
it's the least i can do for the magazine that makes me think.

ps -i thought of answering the questions that were asked to alice, but then decided against it, instead opting to ask you guys to do so ! i am really interested in finding out what your favourite, hum, everythings are !
