WWW: What was the last item you bought?
PA: I got some good ripped white vintage Levis.
WWW: Where do you go to buy vintage?
PA: There are a million good vintage stores in Hollywood that I go to. I also love Reformation and how everything is redone and recut.
WWW: Where do you usually go to shop? Are you an online shopper or an in-store person?
PA: Ninety percent of the time I shop online and I’m like, “Crap, this doesn’t fit!” So I love shopping at Acne, Reformation, Opening Ceremony, and Jet Rag on La Brea.
WWW: You have garnered quite an impressive social media following. What do you think has been key to building that? What are you trying to achieve with your social audience?
PA: I think it’s important to be different; that’s what people like. And what they connect with is something different, not what they’re looking at on everyone else’s Instagram. I think it’s really important to always be real on social media. Yeah, you’re going to set up a pose and get creative with it, but that’s a good thing. I guess don’t try to think hard about it; I post silly stuff too. I have this Instagram account that I haven’t really promoted that much, it’s called @pyper.tv, and I just make silly weird videos of me doing impressions. I want to spread positivity too. Everyone says that, and it’s amazing, but it’s such a powerful thing to connect personally to people and relate to them, so when you’re relatable on social media, I think that’s really cool.
WWW: You do impressions?! What’s your best one?
PA: You know that TV show, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? I just pretend to be the title “Beverly Hills Mom.” I’m not trying to offend anyone; it’s just a silly thing I’ve done.
WWW: Do you have any social media boundaries?
PA: I don’t think I’ll post nude photos on my Instagram. I like to feel sexy and confident. I think there’s a good way to show you love yourself; I think self-confidence is really important. If you want to share your body in that way and share how you look, just do you, do your thing. But for me, I won’t be posting myself nude or promoting something that isn’t positive or powerful in a good way.
WWW: Who do you like to follow on social media?
PA: I love to follow @whowhatwear. I really do follow you guys! I follow this account @ghostmouse__; it’s actually my cousin’s branding company, and it does really cool stuff and posts its logo mouse hidden in the pictures. So you have to find it in every picture. I love fun stuff like that, cause you go through it and realize, Oh, this is kind of a game! I like following different fashion bloggers, like @kaity_modern; I think she has really cool style, and I get a lot of inspiration from her. I also love @_roomonfire, because it has really cool room decorating and architecture.
