What songs did you audition with? “Did You Get My Message?” by Jason Mraz.
If you could have any super power what would it be and why? This is such a toughie… I think I would be able to shift into ANY animal whenever I wanted like in Animorphs. I would spend most of my days as a panther or an eagle. Or a dolphin…yeah
What is your favorite late night Franklin St. spot? Lindas. Duh.
Since you have been in the group, what has been your favorite song to sing? My favorite has definitely been “In the rough” because the parts are really fun to sing and come across strong rhythmically—it’s easy to buy into the message.
If you could be any character in the Harry Potter series which would it be and why? : Is there really a question?? Ginny Weasley. She’s the youngest (me too), she’s tough, unique, and most importantly, she gets to have Harry Potter’s babies. Pretty obvious choice, really.
Cosmic or Chipotle? It’s always been cosmic for me. Chipotle is legit tho…I’d definitely be happy to eat at either.
Would you ever trade in your day job to be a headliner in Vegas? Nah, I’m not daring enough.
If Loreleis could have a mascot what would it be? :A really awesom Siren complete with wings, mermaid tail and long flowing hair... It might not be original, but its SEXY.
If you were to find your self mysteriously stranded and alone on a rock in the Island of North Captiva and you could wish for 3 THINGS what would they be? 1) A piano. Good opportunity to practice. 2) A luxury plane stocked with pizza (and built-in movie theater) 3) A Steven Acker. I already called dibs.
Linda’s Cheese fries or Linda’s Spinach Dip? I love me some spicy….the spinach-artichoke dip has the dankest flavor combination. I’m salivating already.
If you could pick any place in the world for Loreleis to perform where would it be? The ancient Acropolis Amphitheater in Athens, Greece named the Odeon of Herod Atticus.
Would you be willing to Crank that Soulja Boy at any time it is deemed necessary? Actually haven’t learned it yet, but it’s cool…. I find it much more hilarious to watch.
Please describe your bop in great detail.I feel a little undecided about deciding on a bop this soon in my lorelife. Ideallly I’d like to combine some sofia, some kelton, and some Cat cheng in my bop… I think we shall see how it works itself out in the months to come.
