The long awaited part 2.
41. When was the last time you were truely happy?
Good question! I think these days, I really enjoy spending time with the people I care about most, avoiding work as much as possible. I like daytime activities, usually involving alcohol.
42. Are you allergic to anything?
No, but I do have a strong dislike for durian and various things that smell like body odor.
43. What do you consider the biggest fashion faux pas?
Don't be fooled by long legs.
44. What's your favorite food & drink?
Fresh oysters and a Corona. I'm a simple girl.

Good steez goes a long way. But... maybe this is because of blogging... it can all get a bit materialistic.
46. If you could have a super-power, what would it be?
Flying, of course.
47. What was your style like growing up? Tell us about your family.

48. Do you like blogging?
Yes, sometimes.
49. What is the craziest/ weirdest thing you've ever worn?
People like to put all sorts of strange clothing on me. I've learned, over time, to never allow this to be photographed.

My personal secret? No idea.

Shiseido face wash, toner, and lotion. And I get facials once a month.
56. What do people think of you in real life?
I'm the funniest person I know... just kidding.

I don't really sketch.
65. Have you ever regretted blogging your style (and life) online, becoming an online personality?
I think you just have to take all the bad with the good.
66. What were you studying to become in college?
I was never studying to become anything specific. I always just studied what I enjoyed. I did take the LSATS after college and did pretty well. I applied to law school, but obviously, I would've made a terrible lawyer.

I do! It's still a work in progress, but it's definitely a nice change. I recently dyed my eyebrows to match.

71. How do you manage to get your hands on all the new gear on a budget?
I never pay full price for anything. Always look for a deal.
72. Favorite iPhone app/ games.
Right now, I'm kind of addicted to Oregon Trail. I play Numba to pass the time. Iemoji, any kind of Twitter app, Style.com, Shazam, Puri! are also necessary.

I really love Balenciaga this season, it's so luxe.
74. Have you always been interested in fashion?
Yes. But I still had no hobbies.

All black everything."
Good song.

79. Have you ever felt like blogging was bad for you? If yes, why?

80. Did you go to college?
Yes, I went to UC Berkeley.

Lulu, I love you. You're so sweet and genuine. x x.
Awesome Q&A. I had to dye my eyebrows lighter when I went blonde too, although it grows out way too quickly. Damn asian follicles. I think your brows look good natural anyway, they are not too dark. But like you said, always better to take it to the 'next level'. Keep up the good work!
oysters + corona - SOUNDS PERFECT.
Cool to read more about you. Loving the blondy hair and YSL- hello!
Great, I really liked the questions/responses about your real life v. the perspective we get from your blog. Oh, and as far as Jay-Z and Madonna go, you have to have heard Justify My Thug...
Mmm, oysters. I didn't know you considered your hair blonde, i was thinking light brown. Lucky you're an Asian that can pull off blonde!
Tbh, when I first saw those photos of your boyfriend, I hella thought it was Marcus aka geekbonchic from Chictopia, haha.
haha i've always wondered how durians smell like to people who don't like them.
http://almostlikesushi.blogspot.com
thanks for part 2! feel like ive had a colonoscopy
durians rock! my mom absolutely hates it though.
you are such a bitter, nasty person
"no one should blog forever", like seriously, who do you think you are?
for some people (and I'm willing to venture you as well) blogging is a great outlet for ideas and a wonderful source of compassion, support and morale
you seriously have to step off from the antipathic road to loserdom, you are not unique, deep or sophisticated- you're just some girl with a trendy grunge look who's very business savvy as far as I can see
and that's another thing- for a person who's made so much money feeding on their blogging followers you sure do bitch a lot
take this to heart.
Wow, people can be quite nasty to others when hidden behind a computer screen. I'm not sure why one would go out of his/her way to flame a blogger when all you have to do is NOT VISIT THEIR WEBSITE.
Either way, they must find you pretty special.
And yes, Balenciaga this season is pretty sweet. Wish I had more funds...
anonymous 1:31
you must really be desperate for someone to listen to listen to your inconsequential and bitter musings.
with every comment that even bothers to address you back i'm sure you get a little thrill inside that someone is actually acknowledging your existence.
good for you
-bea
i love your effortless swag ;)
If you went to UC Berkeley I wouldn't say that you're Income is 'erratic'. Erratic in this economy is someone who gets a job, is laid off, gets a job, then laid off. Don't fool these people, you make good ass money if you went to Berkeley. Even if you didn't have a job you could convince someone to hire you with an introduction of, 'Oh I went to Berkeley'. I don't know why LuLu tries so hard in this blog to make it seem like she is a struggling artistic soul. This makes this blog's material seem boring with what you lack in honesty.
I think all the people bashing on people having an honest opinion of her answers should calm the fuck down. I have to agree some what as LuLu stated at the beginning of this blog, 'I didn't want to make this blog, someone made me. - There I said it.' - It's like woah, you're too uber important and hip to consider a blog without someone 'making you'. Sorry LuLu you seem pretentious, and like you're trying so hard to seem 'effortless, cool, beautiful, and broke'.
Just trying to be honest here because you obviously do have something to offer, but it's doesn't seem authentic or genuine. This too cool for school attitude is dated, and if blogging is not what you're interested in then STOP.
Why is it that anonymous take things so serious when it comes to a certain posting that a blogger does. Some, not all, but for the few that quickly jump down the throat of some bloggers, quick to critique, insult and just plain waste time.
I want to know why is it that. What do they gain when they insult someone? Bash someone, and put down a person just for a simple post?
I'm not quite sure why people are getting so mad.
I didn't say I was rich or poor, cool or important. I think what I think. The end.
JUST ENTERTAINING MYSELF. LIKED IT

CHICMUSE
Hihi Lulu ^^. I had a childhood friend with the same name.
It's nice to know that people are spreading love.
^^
(._.) <---- a fat kitty for you and everyone else
( )/ who cares to see -cee
Lulu - for what it's worth, I think it may have something to do with the way you come off as a blogger. I think what you find sarcastic or funny often comes off as pretentious and bitchy.
You are the most pretentious blogger I've come across.
love that like a prayer x ____ mix.
if you think she's the most pretentious blogger you've come across, then why are you reading and commenting on her blog? get a life folks.
haha i used to try and dress normal at school as well because i thought my family were weird! now i just don't care and love that my family aren't normal!

lovely post - thats alotta questions x
I really enjoyed reading this! Totally agree on the ideal boy xD
your ideal boy is also my ideal boy...asian guys are hot!
Lulu I think you are brave to keep blogging and I find your blog a good read, but I can also understand what Anon said about "the way you come off as a blogger. I think what you find sarcastic or funny often comes off as pretentious and bitchy." I read a lot of blogs and I think there is often a negative bent here that makes it seem ok for people to respond in the same way. Just saying this respectfully, I'm not asking you to change but I think this is why there is a lot of grumbling.
well, for what it's worth, i think you fucking rule. hard.

Lulu, you have a really cool blog and I always enjoy reading your posts. Forget all the people who think otherwise!
Aww Lulu; what's up with these anon comments. Pretty random tbh.
And I KNEWWW YOU HAVE SOME ASIAN BACKGROUNDDD! Do you speak Mandarin?
"Tall Asian boys with nice haircuts." -- Haha, hell yeah.
your boyfriend is so cute! i'm jealous.
Well your reaction, posting that link to the Bitching On Me video, is what I mean. It doesn't make you endearing. It puts people off. Of course the mean comments are unnecessary, but I don't think you show very much encouragement or positivity to any of the constructive commentators. I dont' think I will visit any more.
Hi Patricia, well unfortunately you don't find Summer Heights funny. I think it is hilarioius. As for constructive criticism, there's only so much one can get from :
"I think what you find sarcastic or funny often comes off as pretentious and bitchy"
Because let's face it, if you knew I was trying to sarcastic, then why take offense? I am who I am. Being myself is the only consistent thing I know how to do.
holy shit lulu- fuck all these anons and patricia's with their ridiculous comments. how are they getting all this sarcasm from a simple q&a? holy shit. you answered questions in one sentence fragments- where's all this hateful bitchiness? whatevs.
Your "to cool for school" attitude is a joke. I'm glad people are commenting because you really need to get off your high horse.
Please- it's not steez you got, it's just plain old ugly.
I'm glad Lulu doesn't aim to please people. You may not get her sarcasm, but other people do.
I've been reading your blog for a long time and have never once got the feeling that you were on a "high horse" or what not. Maybe I just get your sarcasm better than others.
You do give a mysterious aura about you. You have the money to buy designer clothes but dont publicly state how you have the money to do so, which leaves some readers to be confused maybe?
But ignore the anon losers :]
wow, these anonymous people are 'something else'.
Lulu , I like your blog and im sure you know to keep doing your thing.
I liked the interview.
i luv ur blog.
im impressed about how ppl can take so much from what u write on ur blog and concern themselves so much with it. its not like its worth to care much about. i for my part think u seem like a cool person to hang around with. i could be as wrong as the next person.
your eyes always look wonky in your pictures
Well that's just it - your attempts at sarcasm COME OFF as bitchiness. I think Patricia's explained it pretty well, actually. One can be witty and sarcastic and badass while still having a quality about them that people respond positively to. You, as a blogger (because who are we to know what you're like in the real world, really) just don't have a very endearing quality about you.
Take offense if you must, but this isn't mindless bashing for the sake of bashing. Most of us are honestly just trying to explain ourselves to the people who keep wondering "why all the hate?"
What do you think about Jay-Z rapping about Margiela?
Hahah!! Well what do you think about Drake rapping about Margiela?
Show up in a Margiela tux
I don't really give a f**k
And we only gettin older
Yeah, I love Drake. Did you see the successful video preview? Who really needs a snippet of a music video? Hope it will be better than the vid for Best I Ever Had. Now that, was a real joke.
Take care Lulu
that dude looks like an alien
Durians ! how'd you know about them?
