Being a sports fan, you want to figure out how to show support to your team in any way you can.Collection: Sports
I'm more of a cynic, but my husband loves 'Rent.' For Valentine's Day, I got him a 'Rent' walking tour. All it was was a man pulling up photos from the movie on his phone and going, like, 'In the movie, they go to Life Cafe.' And then he took us to a thrift store and it was, like, 'Angel wore a coat you could probably find in a thrift store.'Collection: Valentines
My personal style is, oh my gosh, definitely vintage-heavy, with an emphasis on nostalgic kitsch. I feel like deep down, I might be trying to recreate my mom's closet from the early '90s. I think that's what's really going on. The closet I used to play dress-up in is now what I might be making my own adult closet.Collection: Mom
I want to eat hot wings and get my mouth burned. People love to see people's mouths on fire and sweaty and having to drink milk.
With me, I'm so character-y. I want to go out there with a sketch that barely has a plot and just be an annoying woman in a situation with my equally annoying husband.
It was cool going to an all-girls school. By nature, you weren't worried about boys. A lot of girls felt they were a little more able to be themselves.
I was super into movies and pop culture. But I learned that although there are classes at KU where all you have to do is go and watch a movie, I still skipped those. What was wrong with me? They couldn't have designed the schedule better. 'Hey, you get to watch a classic movie and don't have to go until 6 P.M.' And, yet, I'm still gonna skip it.
I was in the orchestra pit for 'Pippin' my freshman year. I played flute. But I only did it because I had a crush on a guy.
What happened to me could just be my experience, and I don't want to immediately put that on to someone else.
I find myself really drawn to vintage or modern stuff that reminds me of childhood - without actually dressing like a child, if that makes sense.
I've never been a fan of phone cases - I just get the most simple acrylic one - but Memor makes these really cool crafted ones that are embellished with little shells and old gold buttons and charms. They're really stunning and beautiful.
It's a throwback song from the '90s, but that song 'Steal My Sunshine' by Len is so good. I have that on a mix that I play whenever I just want to feel bright and happy.
My mom was the one who introduced me to fashion. As a little girl, I loved watching her really go all out with her looks.
I love to write. I'm not necessarily a joke writer, but I think I can find a lot of comedy in humanity, in a person, and so I just try to, as I'm writing, inhabit who that person I just saw was and be like, 'OK, what's their point of view?' That's where my comedy comes from.
In my own life, I think I've always been a bit of a people pleaser. Maybe the world around me was a little chaotic, so I had to keep my cool. And so I really like playing characters that don't care and just let loose in public with no shame, like cry, yell, roll their eyes.
I will just hear someone say something, whether it's someone just passing by, or if I'm watching a show or reality show, it's like one sentence to me can indicate so much about a person.
My obsession with hair started when I turned 12, right around the time Gwen Stefani dyed hers hot pink. After that, I would try out a new color every month.
By the time I got to college, I was cutting hair for all my broke friends. I was a little lost with what I wanted to do with my life, so I thought, 'Maybe if I drop out and move to L.A. to do hair, that'll sound cooler than just dropping out.'
When I got to L.A., I went to cosmetology school and landed a job at a salon in Studio City, which was a bit conservative, but I had a few clients who liked to experiment.
The salon is a place of confidentiality. Sometimes you'd have a client crying in your chair, so you learn how to be there for someone.
Long story short, I moved to L.A. from Missouri to work at a salon for about nine years. About halfway through that, I took a class at the Groundlings and fell in love with it. It was a fun hobby!
I like to get pretty specific with a character. Not only behavior, but emotional. I go really deep into emotions and get as emotional as a performer as possible. I welcome it.
I don't think my forte will be political sketches, but I'd like to fine-tune that where maybe someday I could write one.
It's really cheesy, but even with style, I would say to follow your heart and maybe even the things that you liked as a kid or that you were drawn to. I always find that those are the things that make me the most happy.
My perpetual life search is for the white leather jacket that Ferris Bueller's girlfriend Sloane wore in the movie. A cropped white leather with fringe is something that I'm always on the hunt for, but even on Etsy I can't find the right one.
There's something so nuanced and specific that the wardrobe department at 'SNL' knows how to do. It's like they've mastered every type of woman, every type of man.
I auditioned for 'SNL' twice within the same week, and my first audition, I wanted it to be undeniable: These are my best characters. Then the second audition, they wanted me to come back and do a totally new set - new characters.
So many times, I'll see something working for someone else, and I'll say, 'I need to write sketches like that.' I need to remind myself: That's not what I find funny or that's not what I can do; that doesn't come naturally to me.
Anytime you try to force something that's not yourself, that's going to feel bad and it's going to feel inauthentic. But that doesn't mean you can't learn from the things and the people that are working and having success.
I really like Chili's. I always have, since I was little. And I like Shake Shack. I think the burger there is phenomenal.
