Where have we seen you?
On Keating steps trying to out-
do U2’s performance from last
year. You’ve probably noticed I
only sing “Party in the U.S.A.,” but
that’s only because I know one of
y’all’s Senior Nights was themed
like that.
What was your favorite child-
hood movie and why?
I don’t like movies unless they
involve Hannah Montana.
Who would play you in a mov-
ie about your life and why?
Do you mean me, Miley, or Han-
nah Montana? I’m so confused.
If you could be any famous
historical figure, who would you
be and why?
Britney Spears. She had this
great stage presence, but her ca-
reer is over. Maybe her problem
was that she didn’t have her own

continues. Out of all the trends,
there are always a few that show the
promise of becoming something
more permanent and long-lasting.
They are styles that will withstand
the test of time because they exude
movies, TV shows and records. I
think I’m on to something!
What’s your favorite campus
hot spot? Manhattan hot spot?
Sometimes I jam out in Ro-
drigues, but only when PSJ isn’t
there. My favorite place in Man-
hattan is wherever I’m going to be
taken seriously – does that place
exist? I mean, I’m trying so hard to
be a real actress in Last Song, but I
feel like some audiences might not
understand my art.
If you could be anywhere and
doing anything right now, what
would it be?
Re-doing my response to that
Annie Leibovitz photoshoot for
Vanity Fair. How come Britney
can act older than her age and
that’s okay, but I can’t? Is it be-
cause I wasn’t a Mouseketeer?
How many Disney markets do I
need to corner to pull off the sul-

my parents see this!)
a kind of rare elegance that is highly
regarded by all. Here are some of
the best fashion options that are
more than just trends.
Best Shoe
While many shoes can provide
an impeccably chic twist to your
look, they often require the sac-
rifice of foot comfort for the sake
of style. Crocs, however, offer a
perfect combination of both com-
fort and tasteful fashion. There re-
ally isn’t anything not to love about
this shoe, which will surely remain
a classic. Constructed out of a du-
rable, yet soft rubber, crocs were
made to last while providing the
easiest, pain-free walking experi-
ence for the wearer.
Their sleek design also includes
large holes in the front of the
shoe that subtly allow the foot to
breathe. You can even buy Crocs
in an array of different colors, the
most fashionable being lime green
and hot pink. As for incorporating
them into your outfits, Crocs do
not only look great worn with jeans
but can also be worn seamlessly
with dresses of any kind.
Best Leggings
Simple black leggings are easily
the most popular of this kind of
leg-wear. You can spot them all year
round on all figures in many differ-
ent ensembles. However, simplicity
is not always best. It seems that me-
tallic gold and silver leggings, like
those found at American Apparel,
are far more eye-catching and,
therefore, an excellent replacement
What’s your favorite class and
professor at Fordham and why?
Oh wait.
I actually have to be a student
for this interview?
How do you blow off steam?
Singing. Coincidentally, this
also makes me incredibly rich.
What is the biggest miscon-
ception people have about you?
That I’m only famous because
my dad was a one-hit wonder.
What is your biggest wish?
Saving my career and saving the
environment, in that order.
If you could be one super
hero, who would it be?
I don’t believe in super heroes.
Plus I think I’m pretty super al-
ready.
Guilty pleasure?
Well it was Twitter until I de-
leted my account…
for the standard black style. Worn
with anything, the metallic legging
will garner looks of intrigue from
all passers-by, making you stand
out for all the right reasons. They
are a cutting-edge diversion from
the norm that will easily make your
look unique from all others.
Best Jeans
There are so many great jean
styles that it is hard to name only
one the best. A solid contender is
definitely the neon colored skinny
jean. The bright glow of these pants
is quite flattering on the legs and
looks appealing when worn with
colorful, printed tops.
Another type of jean that has
always remained in fashion is the
overall. Jean overalls, which many
wear as children, have the ability to
carry over into adulthood and still
work as an Americana style staple.
With their cute buckled straps and
loose fit, its hard not to love this
jean favorite. The ripped and hole-
ridden style, worn by fashion icons
like Miley Cyrus, is also a particu-
larly chic look that translates a bit
of haute couture into your every-
day outfit.
Best T-Shirt
The best t-shirts to wear are the
ones that make a big statement.
Whether it’s a blown-up image of
your favorite musician or a large-
print slogan, its best to go with a
shirt that makes a profound impact
and announces loudly to everyone
what your interests are. For ex-
ample, the Twilight-themed series

of t-shirts made by HotTopic are
a fashionable way for fans of the
series to incorporate their obses-
sion into their own appearance.
Through a tee covered by Taylor
Lautner’s shirtless body and quotes
extracted straight from the books,
you can proclaim your allegiance
to Jacob in style.
Best Purse
Functional, slender and fitted
nicely to the waist, the fanny pack
is a superior purse. With its sim-
ple buckle, the fanny pack offers
a shoulder-free alternative to the
bothersome handbag and with its
single zipper, makes it easy to re-
trieve your essentials. Top design-
ers like Fendi continue to build on
the classic fanny pack design, mak-
ing the purse modernly stylish.
Best Hair Accessory
For decades, girls have struggled
with teasing their hair to achieve
the necessary volume at the crown
of their heads. Now, a small piece
of plastic in the shape of a half-
circle called the Bumpit has solved
that problem. The Bumpit is one of
the best accessories you can buy, as
it covertly lifts the hair up into an
elegant “poof ” while laying hidden
under a shield of hair.
From a classy up-do to the even
classier half-up style, the Bumpit
adds a touch of sophistication to
any look. “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki
has proven the Bumpit’s worth
with her perfectly sculpted “poofs,”
which were made possible by the
hairpiece.
