Kalin and I met in ninth grade P.E. class and bonded over our mutual hatred of flag football and love of Fiona Apple. Since then, we’ve been partners in various crimes, including public musical outbursts and theft of unattended croissants.

Hey Miss K! Thank you for letting me photograph your lovely face. Can you tell us a little about your job and what you do for fun?

Hi Jacqui! You're welcome. Few people are able to capture my natural beauty, as I'm prone to hilarious Jim Carrey facial spasms when in front of a camera. I work in children's theater. I'm currently directing a groovy musical about gender equality called Free To Be...You and Me. For fun, I like getting really high on cappuccinos and organizing my jewelry collection. I also dig binge watching episodes of 30 Rock. I'm a huge Jane Krakowski fan.

What does Kalin eat for breakfast?

Yogurt.

What would Kalin like us to think she eats for breakfast?

Greek yogurt with a handful of blueberries and almonds drizzled in local honey.

Please fill in the blanks: In high school, I dressed like ___.  In college, I dressed like ___. When I am 80, I would like to dress like ___.

A really sexy, hip drama geek; A walking thrift store; Diane von Furstenberg, but I also plan on dying my hair lavender.

You’re a recent transplant from San Diego. How has spending most of your life in Southern California shaped your style?

The majority of my wardrobe is only suitable for temperatures above 70 degrees. Now that I live in a slightly cooler climate, I still find myself gravitating toward clothes with a casual, breezy feel. I'm also a firm believer that shorts are appropriate for any season (thank you, tights.)

Describe your relationship with thrift stores.

Thrift stores are like little treasure islands with a musty smell. There are sparkling jewels hidden among the grandma sweaters. Some of my favorite clothes are from thrift stores.

Tell us about that little black dress.

That little dress is from a Goodwill Boutique. I fell in love with the bow and the square neckline - you just don't see that style anymore. I like that the straps offset the short length, so I can show off my gams without feeling too exposed. It also had the original Neiman Marcus tag on it. Score!

What is the most glamorous thing you’ve ever done, fashion-wise?

In Barcelona I rocked an asymmetrical, hand-dyed maxi dress with a thigh-high slit. It both hugged my body and moved beautifully. The dress came from India, but I felt like a Spanish goddess.

What is your style spirit animal?

A red panda. Relaxed and playful.
