Five Things You Didn’t Know About Your K

Tag, I’m It. The Bargain Queen asked me to tell the world (wide web) five things you dolls didn’t know about your K. So let’s get down…

1. I own a pair of New Balance sneakers. People see them in my closet and don’t believe it; they’re like the unicorns of wardrobes. I think even my family assumes I go jogging in heels.

2. My dad named me after an indie film actress. He said he saw some art flick and an actress was named “Kristopher with a K,” which he thought was so unique and pretty. But my older brother said he insisted my parents name me Kristopher after his best preschool pal. Coin toss.

3. I drive stick in five-inch heels. Sounds S-E-X-y, right? According to a friend, though, I drive like a grandma. Vroom, vroom.

4. I store vintage fur muffs and a vintage Saks mink cap in my fridge. Which seems unsanitary, but questionable eating habits – I only have water, soy milk, and espresso in there – keep things clean.

5. I created, designed, and maintain my blog. Most people seem to think my dot-com is managed by someone else, but currently your K does everything – graphics, layout, why do I know PHP? – on the site. Once I met with an editor who complimented me, saying he’d assumed some guy took care of the web end while I was out shoe shopping. Meeting over, dude.

Now I get to tag five people I want to get to know better. I’ll leave it up to you ladies, though. Leave a comment of a blogger you’d like to know five things about. The first five you name will be considered “It.”

    Wow. I’ve always wanted to know more about the Sartorialist.

  4. The Bargain Queen says:

    Driving like a grandma isn’t that much of a turn-off! Mr BQ drives like Nanna, and yet, I still married him. I guess I really am over my bad boy phase ;)

  5. Carla says:

    3. I drive stick in five-inch heels. <– lovely K how can you do that? I once try driving with my bf and I was weairng my 4-inch heels and we almost got into an accident.  Somehow the heels stuck on the carpet. opsy… I have a good excuse whenever I don’t want to drive “babe, I wear heels today!” haha

  6. Stylishly Yours says:

    Thanks K! You’re the real doll!

  7. Sandra says:

    I’d like to see Lesley of Fashiontribes tagged.

    I love the story about how you got your name. Very cool.

  8. Margarite Elaine says:

    I knew there was a reason a liked you :) . New Balance are a godsend. So comfy, stylish and great for serious power shopping. I’d love to tag the face behind Frugal Fashionista. The outfits are dangerous, fantastic and unbelivable. How does he/she do it?

  9. Haute Girl says:

    Re: Answer #3 – hey, do you live on soy lattes alone? ;-)

    Re: Answer #1 – I can’t believe you own sneakers. Can’t even imagine it!

  10. Your K says:

    Haha, Haute Girl – re: #3, it’s more I live like a bachelorette, surviving on take-out seared tuna salads.

    Re: #1 – I don’t think I believe it, either. ;)

    MWAH

  11. LB says:

    Go K on the New Balance tip! Lots of people still wear sneakers or trainers as we Scots like to refer to them – comfort is key in my view! Just in case you are interested…NB is still a thriving business in the Lake District, UK, they target predominantly runners rather than fashion like most other sneaker brands, something I totally dig. My man is a sneaker obsessive and some of his NB shoes are my favs! Great site btw, v v funny!

  12. DivaShop says:

    I’d like to tag Erin from Dress A Day (http://www.dressaday.com)

  13. marina says:

    driving in tall heels allows you to jam on the accelerator much easier than your flat-soled peers.

  14. KRiSTOPHER DUKES says:

    Precisely, Marina.
