These Are a Few of My Favourite Things:

There isn't much that Kate & Laura Mulleavy do that I don't like.  Seriously, if they started a candy company I'd prolly get super fat.  So when I picked up the latest issue of Lula (also the best thing since daiya) and saw that 3/4ths of it was either about or by Rodarte, I pretty much peed in anticipation.  They did not disappoint either.  One of my favorite parts so far (I just got it yesterday) is the questionnaire that Kate Mulleavy made up for her friend Autumn to test on her new boyfriend.  "In the end, it doesn't really tell you much about a person, which I guess is a good thing.  [But] it's still fun to read" says Kate.

Here are the questions and my answers for them - Please fill them out yourself and send them back to us <3  We'd love to hear from you!
