Vogue Parody 73 Questions Challenge

73 Questions was popularized on Vogue’s Youtube channel. Typically, celebrities are asked 73 questions in a rapid-fire style. This is the blogger version, but a great way to get to know somebody.

It really was a challenge – I really had to put some thought into some of the answers! It would be interesting to see what the answers would be if I had to answer on the spot in an interview.

A Shout out to Jenni at Housewife Hustle Blog and Catherine from Shatter The Silence. You can read their answers by clicking on the links.

Without Further Ado – My answers!
