>> It's travel frenzy over the next fortnight but I've got a ton of things to show and tell (why was I so lacking in Show n Tell things when I ACTUALLY had to do Show n Tell at school….?). First things first, can I ask a massive favour of you guys to help me out here. I'm hosting/featured in a web show that Swedish brand Monki.com (you know… the one we ALL want to come to the UK… or at least offer online shopping!) will be streaming in January and as part of the videos, I'm supposedly answering readers' questions…. and yes, I know we've done the FAQ thing before but let's make this more random, creative and out of the norm shall we? None of the "What do you think will happen to fashion blogging in the future?" crap – seriously, do people actually think I possess a crystal ball that allows me to be a mystical foretelling social media guru. That would be a great character to devise an outfit for though…
Ask me anything here and it should be answered on the video. If not, then I'll be sure to bung it on the FAQ page in any case.
So… questions on virtual postcards please. No need for the S.A.E. Weren't Blue Peter competitions a bit of a con? It was all a ploy to collect our used STAMPS! What I ACTUALLY mean is, leave your questions as comments. Ta very much.
If you were forced to let one person to style you for the rest of your life, who would that be and why?
Ooh, and if you could only wear one colour for the rest of your life, which would it be (ditto fabric)?
^ Good ones EJ 🙂
Sorry if these questions are boring or suck.
If you could choose one painting/artwork to describe you which would it be and why?
I don’t know if this a bit generic, but if you could have dinner with any 3 people (dead or alive) who would it be?
If you could live in one decade from the past, which would it be?
If you had to choose one electronic technological gadget (Blackberry included), which would it be and why?
Is there anything you think should change in the fashion industry? In which areas are room for improvement?
Do you have any future plans for the blog?
Are there any items that haven’t been invented yet, but that you think should?
Can’t wait for Monki to start shipping outside of Scandinavia! Thats fantastic.
Ok, question:
If you could switch bodies with a supermodel for a week, who would you choose to be and why?
Uhm uhm, if you could label your favourite designers with a song, which song would you pair with which designer?
Maybe this sounds weird, but you asked for questions…
Does the relationship to your boyfriend suffer, because you are more “famous” in the Internet?
hey <3 !!

I love Monki, I hope I will be able to buy some of their products soon!
1) In your opinion from the times you’ve visited the States, have you seen people who have expressed as much creativity when it comes to putting together outfits here as you have in Europe? And to you does the atmosphere of fashion in the U.S. read as more commercially oriented than creatively oriented? (possibly “Doh!” questions, but I’ll still ask.)
I sometimes find it hard to pick out people here who are, for the most part, driven to design and style for the love of creativity and reinventing rather than for monetary reasons. (I realize that the two aren’t and probably can’t be mutually exclusive though.) But now on to the more typical questions! XD
2) What’s your favorite scent to wear regularly?
3) I have to deal with a lot of people here staring and sometimes making impolite comments within earshot of me concerning the clothes I choose to wear. How do you deal with people who might have negative points of view regarding your personal style?
4) Favorite book, fashion related or not?
5) Favorite or a few of your favorite visual artists?
6) In your opinion, best smelling men’s cologne?
aaaaaaaaaannnnndddddd lastly, favorite type of tea and what do you eat with it?
And thanks for putting up with the longwinded questions! ^_^
What other careers or fields of study interested you growing up?
i see hong kong on the monki invite.
can you tell me where in hong kong i can find them? thanks
Joy: I believe the Monki store in Hong Kong is in Langham Place in Mong Kok
Thanks for everyone’s questions – keep them coming! Some very interesting ones coming up that I will answer on the FAQ section even if they don’t come up on vid!
Yes! When will Monki come to an online venue!? I have a few questions, hopefully they are creative enough to use.
1. What is important to you (life wise not fashion wise)?
2. The visit to Harry Tweed looked epic. Is there other not so well known brands/designers/companies with history whose headquarters you would like to visit?
3. What do you think of the idea of luxury branding? Can it still exist or will it be just talk of legend?
4. Do you consider yourself a journalist? If not, would you push yourself to be one in the future?
If you were to design a range, what would its ethos be and where ideally would it be stocked?
I will avoid the generic questions!!
1. What colour socks are you wearing?
2. Picnic or sit-down meal?
3. Black ink or blue ink?
I really like Monki well I hope to see them online more often
Ah I adore Monki. I was half hoping that there would be some UK related news in this post!
If you could only wear clothing from one designer/retailer/brand for the rest of your life, who would it be and why?
Oooh, I remember Selina of Flying Saucer talking about Monki when she was doing a study-abroad spell in Sweden…and here goes the questions:
1) Which character from a book would you spend a large chunk of your life dressed like, if we made you choose?
2) (again with the ‘work of fiction’ question, and sorry they’re so done but I do want to know) if someone was making a movie about you, who would you choose to direct it?
3) What’s your favourite of all your DIYs?
4) Of all the wearables you own (clothes, shoes, bags, hairslides, etc) which are the ones you’ve had for the longest time, and for how long have you had them?
1) How can a fashion blog like yours help strengthen brand’s relationship with its customers? What’s your opinions?
2) Do you think your blog is just a current trend in the fashion marketing world, and will it last for a long time? why?
PS: I have another- what are the magazines you used to read, growing up? Also, which ones were your favourites, and why?
i wish they would come to the US too!! love monki.
