Meet Team KISS: Nathalie, Editor

Do you have a secret talent? I love photography, but that’s not really a secret, as when I’m not wielding a red pen I’m holding a camera and papping whatever catches my eye – my mates, my dates, my dinner, my dog.

What was your biggest fashion/beauty mistake? I was defo a fan of that gross dark lipliner/nude lipstick look for a while, and my mum has cringey pics to prove it. Bleugh.

Have you ever won an award? When I was deputy editor of the UCD student newspaper, The University Observer, we won Student Newspaper of the Year at the Student Media Awards and it was one of the proudest nights of my life. It was only topped when KISS won Magazine of the Year at the PPAIs in 2009!

Ever had an embarrassing crush? Oh I have LOADS, just ask Team KISS. I tend to fancy nerdy guys, so kind of had a thing for the dude from The Big Bang Theory for a while. Don’t judge.

Celeb crush? Andrew Garfield, Seth Rogen, Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson, James McAvoy, Justin Long… Should I stop?

On my iPod… A mega hodge splodge of tunes. Right now it’s Kanye, Rihanna, Elbow, Lykke Li, Noah and the Whale and Adele.

Fave book? I’m a total bookworm, so I’m going to cheat and say that my Kindle is my fave book, cos it can hold hundreds and hundreds of ‘em! Currently reading What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell, and I adored Water for Elephants (I’m crazy excited about the movie version).

Fave guilty pleasure? Spending far too much time cruising design blogs and far too much money on pretty prints and crafty stuff from Etsy.

A little known fact about me is… I’m a total gadget geek. If it’s shiny and techy I’m all over it. Just ask my iPad 2.
