What has Married to the Mob meant to you ?

A job! Kidding. Leah and I met at the Spring Street block party, before MTTM really made a name for itself. I thought she was the coolest because I’d been spending my youth with all these dudes downtown, and there weren’t really any girls around. She dressed really dope and had doorknockers on and was drinking wine…it sounds so corny but when you’re a 13 year-old kid, that’s exactly the kind of individual that appeals to you. She was super nice to me when I’d see her at parties and shit like that, and eventually I started hanging at her place where she introduced me to her little sister, Sarah. Sarah and I became best friends and then I basically became the third sister. When the company got a website and began really making a name for itself, Leah asked me if I wanted to write for her. I was 15 and so fucking excited to finally be able to talk all this shit where people could hear me, and a lot of heads liked it. So many amazing things sprouted from that first summer meeting on the block, and it’s been so much fun being a part of this phenomenon MTTM has become. I love you Leah!

Describe the role you play in the crew.

I am basically the blogger in charge. 5 days a week I try and make sure there’s something up there, whether that means showing off new product or just giving my opinion on some current event. I also answer all mail and requests sent to our myspace, and believe me, that shit takes a minute. Aside from that, my role in the ‘crew’ is of the mischievous little smart ass, I suppose. When I was like 15 I was quite the party animal. I was out every other night getting into shit and starting trouble. People would come up and talk to me and when they’d find out how young I was they’d just bug out. At the time, it all felt really good. I manipulated and lied and snuck around and was just bad. Now when people tell me they’re throwing parties I get tired. First off, New York aint the same, parties suck now, people suck. It was fun then because it was new, and everyone I knew was partying together, but I don’t know none of these losers on the scene now. I’d much rather be on my couch watching the office with my puppy. Anyway, drifting! Did I mention I have A.D.D.? Now that the beast has been tamed I’d say I just bring an aspect of real New York City youth to the crew. I know whats goin’ on in H.S, new slang and all that jazz. “If you see the Police Warn a Brother”.

How do you think M.O.B. will change over the next year?

I honestly have no idea, except for the fact that it’ll continue to grow. The way things are going now, picking up speed with every line, it’s obvious that Married to the Mob is getting bigger. Anything with a following like this is bound to move forward.

What brands/people have been of interest to you lately? Why?

Shout out to Nike bubble coats in faded autumn colors and baby blue cortez, as well as Timb. constructs. I’m a fan of generic shit, like those “New York” embroidered hoodies you see on Canal. La Perla lingerie, Porter bags. Crux and San-X stickers. I like the simple things in life.
