Interview with Mumzy

Fi: What were some of your favorite statement pieces of clothing?

Mum:  Umm, well, I remember I had this wonderful shopping trip once where I went with a friend who was purposely trying to dress me a little more fashionably or daringly than I normally do. We ended up getting me three black and white pieces. Black jeans with white polka dots that were very fitted. Then two great dresses. One was an A frame with capped sleeves and these wide black and white diagonal stripes.

F: What was a hair style you remember? 

M: I used to roll my hair in high school so that I had hair that was... how do I wanna say it... It smoothly came off the top of my head and then curled all the way around to the bottom. BIG CURLS. So when I was in gym class everything would just bounce.

F: What was something that set you apart from your friends?

M: I was always known for having a very positive attitude. Very energetic.

F: What were some hobbies you had?

M: I loved making things that i designed myself! I would just come up with gifts for someone. I loved knitting and sewing. I was a cheerleader... 

F: One of your fondest childhood memories? 

W: Well, there’s a whole lot of little ones that rival each other. All kinds of things with my sister and me. The radio shows. We used to play the Catalina sisters and we would each put a dress up skirt on and we would sit on top of the TV cabinet and sing Twenty Six Miles Across the Sea. When I was little we lived in Italy and we would picnic in the ruins. We would go to the beach and my brothers and father would build these enormous beautiful detailed  sand castles and all the little kids would wander over and watch. I was young enough that when I was there I learned Italian and apparently spoke it more readily than English.

F: What is one of the most mischievous things you’ve done 

W: I don’t know that I was very mischievous. I took a pencil once. Hahha                     

F: What?

W:  I took a tiny little pencil from girl scouts and it was really traumatizing... not traumatizing but like... whoa.
