Guilty Pleasures
Jamie Li
I will confess right away: I am a fan of this cool chick. Jamie Li (you probably know her from Quarter Magazine) recently started her own vlog channel and if you catch me here in the office not working, I am either watching cat videos or Jamie's vlogs. Let that be clear. Bring it on, Jamie, with all those tasty stories.
Who were you a huge fan of when you were younger?
“Really all kinds of boy bands, including The Backstreet Boys and Five. But I was also madly in love with Stan (Paul Groot) from GTST for a while.”
Favorite sing-along?
“At the moment? ‘Work’ by Rihanna.”
Which task do you always procrastinate?
“Replying to emails and folding the laundry.”
Biggest pointless irritation?
“I can completely flip out in silence when my checkout line is not moving.”
Do you ever tell a little white lie?
“No, I am actually always too honest and give too much information. Lying might sometimes be better, I think.”
Secret favorite show?
“Achter Gesloten Deuren, so incredibly wrong and contentless that it has become my favorite.”
Biggest expensive mistake?
“A 7-piece bib set from Marc Jacobs.”
Which movie do you always cry at?
“The Pursuit of Happiness.”
Biggest addiction?
“Absolutely diet coke.”
Bad handsome man?
“I go for Theo Maassen.”
What is your strangest trait?
“Not necessarily a trait, more of a tic: when I walk with someone, I always have to walk to the left of that person.”
Do you have a catchphrase?
“So that.”
Celebrity crush?
“Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) from Suits and Tom Hardy.”
Which song do you sing in the shower?
“The song that is in my head at that moment. Today it was Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams.”
Which book in your shelf should no one see?
“The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Bought once because of the hype, but never read and now sold, thankfully.”
Favorite bad calorie bomb?
“Haha, do you have a moment? Turkish pizza with döner, cheesecake, tompouce, Febo’s ‘special’ and I could go on like this for a while.”
Biggest superficial turn-off?
“A bad set of teeth (super crooked teeth, missing teeth, with yellow or brown tones).”
What kind of disgusting food is secretly very tasty?
“Fish sticks from Iglo! And Surinamese blood sausage (ewwww!, but so delicious).”
Hidden talent?
“Baking complicated cakes.”
Which Disney character would you like to be?
“Mowgli from The Jungle Book, he is so cool.”
Most used excuse?
“Of course, I'm not going to reveal that, hehe.”
Do you have an embarrassing hobby?
“Yes! Crafting with my son. When he has long since lost interest, I still go on for hours to create the perfect glitter artwork.”
And finally, what do you do when you are home alone and no one can see you?
“Walking around naked, doing silly bubbly dances, talking to myself, that kind of stuff.”
