Grilled By Dawny
So everyone knows Dawny, my elusive Stig-like assistant/right-hand woman/unboxer-extraordinaire/monitor of all Skims purchases.
We have been friends for more years than not and I can honestly say there are very few people who know me better than Dawny herself.
For this week’s blog – and I might regret this later – we’ve decided to use this to her advantage… and my disadvantage. *Cue grimacing face emoji* Dawn has sat me down for an interview and let me say this; there were some weird and wonderful questions thrown my way!
So with that said, I shall stop procrastinating and kick off Grilled By Dawny
D: Describe yourself in three words
LPD: Lover of life
D: What are the three least-likely words your friend would use to describe you?
LPD: Boring, lazy, rude
D: If you had to write a dating profile for yourself now (obvs not gonna happen I know) what would it say?
LPD: Err forget me, I think we should be writing one for you! 2023 is def the Dawny year of LOVE. Pleaseeee can you lovely lot reading this write Dawny’s dating profile in the comment. Can’t wait to see what you come up with haa!
D: Errrr, okay you are digressing, but I’ll roll with it. You have to give up one for a year: Champagne or Cheese?
LPD: Oh Wow! You went there! Mmmmmm this is SO hard BUT, it would have to be champs. I mean I would still have margs and there’s no way I could not have cheese. In fact, I’m pretty sure I eat it every day.
D: Do you have a word that makes you cringe? Personally, mine is panties *shivers*
LPD: Do you know what, I didn’t until I read yours, and now its 100% panties! Ewww.
D: When is the last time you told a lie? What was it?
LPD: I’ve been racking my brain and I can’t think of one. I rarely lie, I don’t see the point…maybe that’s a lie, who knows!
D: Shave off your eyebrows or not shave your legs for 6 months OF SUMMER. Waxing’s cheating…I know your brain
LPD: Well, you would have put cheese or alcohol in the other question if you really knew my brain! Haaa! It’s gonna have to be eyebrows you know. Huge respect to people who don’t mind letting their leg hair grow but I just couldn’t. Especially as its jet black and grows in patches lol. At least I could draw my eyebrows back in well hey?!
D: If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and why?
LPD: I think it would have to be to be able to fly. Mainly for all the shoots I have to treck to in east London. But also because I’d get to make myself a spectacular cape, shaped like butterfly wings, embellished with sequins and crystals. Imagine!
D: Why does the sequined cape not surprise me? Okay, so what is Theo’s most annoying habit?
LPD: Oh, this is easy. Leaving the Robinsons squash bottle out on the side after every use. Like just PUT IT AWAY dude.
D: What would he say is yours?
LPD: Impatience for sure.
D: You can never have your nails done again or your hair cut and/or coloured?
LPD: Oh come onnnnn do you even know me?! Couse it would be my hair. I would never be without my Michael nails. And I’m actually really good at plaiting, so I could just turn my floor length hair into a work of art twisted around my head!
D: Choose one food to have for the rest of your life
LPD: My roast potatoes. “https://www.lisapotterdixon.com/blog/my-ultimate-roast-potato-recipe”
D: Snog, Marry, Kill… David Attenborough, Theo and Tom Hardy
LPD: I need clarification. Is this one snog or loads of them every day forever and always? Because if that’s the case then the answer is Theo.
D: No, one snog only
LPD: Ok, fine. Then I choose Tom Hardy for that. What a guy. Although if I could swap him for Charlie Hunnam I probs would. Marry, well it has to be Theo. So yep, I can’t believe I’m saying this, and I don’t mean it in the slightest, and I totally blame you because you have given me no choice but to kill off the natural treasure that is Dave. I mean it wouldn’t be fair to kill off either of the others when they aren’t even half his age right!? And I’d make sure it was lovely and peaceful. Oh god, nope, I can’t do it. Snog Theo, Marry Dave, kill Tom. FYI I don’t fancy Dave in any shape or form, but at least you’d have interesting chats!
D: You’re on the run and have to change your identity. Think a Bonnie and Clyde sitch. Describe the makeover
LPD: I would sooo make myself into a 90 year old lady. Think grey wig, latex wrinkles, pale blue shadow with a pink lip. Some sort of floral dress and a walking stick. No-one would ever guess it was me!
D: Is your bed made right now?
LPD: Yep, and I’m sat in it
D: What’s the one thing you regret spending money on?
LPD: Electricity bills in 2023
D: Finish the phrase: “The way to my heart is…”
LPD: Through sequins, music, laughter and puppies.
D: What is the one thing you wish you enjoyed more?
LPD: Ice skating. I’m rubbish at it but I wish I wasn’t.
D: What was your last impulse buy?
LPD: More Skims. It’s the new colours of the boyfriend tops, they get me every time!
D: And finally, who is your favourite assistant in the world?
LPD: Not found them yet, will let you know when I do
And there you have it, peeps. A glimpse into Dawny’s curious mind and into my overstimulated brain!
I hope that, with these fun, informative and downright weird questions, you have gotten to know me even better. I share a lot with you guys and it’s honestly because I do consider each and every one of you a friend. Thank you for always being kind, loyal, supportive and genuinely making me belly-laugh on a daily basis. I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by so much positivity.
Love,
Lisa
