txt ideal types™️ || 👾

a/n; just want to say that this is not factual! this is based on my own opinion! if you have questions on why i think this don’t be afraid to send them through ask! hope you enjoy!! 

soobin;  --- since soobin said he is the type to let his s/o lead the relationship while he sits back, LMAO i honestly think soobin’s ideal type is a girl who is confident. I say confident because someone who is shy isn’t going to be comfortable telling a guy what to do. since he’s laid back and chill most of the time i feel like he wouldn’t mind someone whose the same way. someone who he can have deep conversations with and also act crazy with when they’re both feeling a little hyperactive. I really think someone whose very bubbly and hyper would make him a little flustered because he doesn’t want to bore her by doing the things he likes, and he wouldn’t know how to keep up with her energy. soobin likes to read books, watch tv shows and eat. he likes to eat bread and ice cream all day. he doesn’t like moving. so someone whose moving and doing a whole lot of shit constantly is going to tire him out LMAO. I also think since soobin is a little messy he needs a motherly type of girl that can help him with his habits. with soobin you’ll basically be a mom, leading the relationship and cleaning after him occasionally. I also think soobin would love someone who is romantic and is sensitive when it comes to him. he loves feeling loved and cared about and knowing that there’s someone who got his back through anything and everything. he’s very affectionate and light hearted so he needs someone who isn’t mean lmao!! he doesn’t like a whole lot of roast sessions and things like that and even if he does don’t go overboard with him because he’ll get sensitive asf. 

--- as far as body type goes i feel like soobin doesn’t care. honestly. he’s really big so no matter what you’ll always be smaller than him even if you’re a little thick lmao. if you guys would like to know whether or not soob is an ass or boobs type of guy though i think he’s both. some boobs with a little ass would fluster him. all the way. he doesn’t expect much but if you’re well endowed in either, he’s going to be really touchy (with permission of course) and he’ll always make you feel comfortable in your own body. 

yeonjun; -- oh god, this boy. nah jk. i honestly think yeonjun needs someone who creative and can introduce him to new things. since he really loves music and stuff I think he would love someone who can introduce him to different types of music. he’d love stuff like his s/o making playlists for him and sending him new songs randomly. i also think since yeonjun is a big foodie he would loooveee a girl with an appetite lmao! he would love her even more if she can cook the food he likes, or cook good food in general. he would really love someone who can introduce him to new kinds of of food and feed him when he’s hungry. whether it’s spoon fed or just dropping by some food to the studio for him when it’s lunch time. despite his stage presence i think he’d love someone who is sweet and easy going. outgoing as well! since he’s very shy and timid around new people he would LOVE if his s/o approaches him first. although he’s more of the lead in the relationship, i think he would love if his s/o knows how to lead as well especially when he’s feeling needy and needs affection. he doesn’t want a girl that let’s him lead ALL the time and let’s him put in 80% while they put in 20%. he wants it to be 50/50 at least.  since he’s the oldest in the group it’s likely that he’s always taking care of the members so he needs someone who is willing to take care of him. he would also LOVE a funny girl omg. if you can make him laugh you automatically have his heart. he would love having a girl that’s also his best friend, one whom he can make inside jokes with. he would also love a stylish girl! i think if you dress well it would be easier for him to notice you since he’s very fashionable himself. he’d also never take his eyes off of you and remind you about how good you look everyday.  with that being said he would love a girl he can go shopping with! that can buy him cute shirts and clothes that matches his style. he would love it even more if you introduce him to a new kind of style. he would love dressing up and going on random dates and taking lots of pics! 

- as far as body type goes i think yeonjun would be attracted to curvier girls. he just gives me that vibe. of course he’d be attracted to any type of body type,  but i think curvy is more his thing. if you’re wondering whether he is an ass or boob type of guy i think yeonjun is an ass and thigh type. so if you’re thicker around that area expect yeonjun to be all over you. LMAO (with permission of course). 

beomgyu;  -- gyuuuuu! okay so in my opinion gyu doesn’t really have an ideal type. he’s the type of guy where it’s like, if he likes you he likes you and if he doesn’t he doesn’t. as long as you know how to treat him and like having fun with him he’d love you! in all honesty i think beomgyu is a free spirit. he likes all types of girls in every size, shape or color. he doesn’t have a preference.  just be yourself and don’t try to act too show-offy in front of him. i lowkey think beomgyu would like a motherly type of girl though and someone who is just as hyper as he is. since beomgyu is a mama’s boy he needs a girl that treats him like he’s her son LMAO but also let him be an adult too. like don’t baby him all the way but take care of him and check up on him often. he’d also love a clingy s/o. one who texts him and calls just to tell him how much they miss him. affection is key with gyu! if he can lay on your chest or cuddle with you all the time he will fall in love with you. i repeat HE WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU. hold his hand, kiss his cheeks and play wrestle with him. also, build a relationship with his mother! i think gyu would love someone whose close to his mom. of course don’t be a creep but make sure you aren’t a stranger to her. since gyu is family oriented when it comes to his parents i think he would really appreciate if you took the extra mile and got to know his family. he’d love taking you to daegu to spend the holidays with his family and have fun eating and making jokes with them. 

-- as far as body type goes beomgyu really doesn’t gaf. like fr. just as long as you’re confident in your body he would love you. and even if you aren’t he’d remind you about how much he likes it. if you’re wondering if beomgyu is an ass or boob type of guy though, gyu definitely loves boobs.

taehyun;  -- (my MANNNN- i mean ahem) okay so, tyun is tricky af but I pay special attention to him because of this reason. in all honesty i think tyun LOVES the game of hard to get. he likes feeling like he got it in the bag with you, but he doesn’t at the same time. he would love a girl who is very confident, smart,  and can adhere to his mind games.  reverse psychology would have him SHOOK lmao! initially i think if tyun saw a girl he likes he would make it known he likes her just by doing little stuff like being nice to her or smiling at her and stuff. he would like it if she does it back too, but not becoming too engaged. i think his whole relationship would be him and his s/o playing hard to get. the both of them know they love one another and are very affectionate but they’re also a little mean to each other as well. cracking jokes every now and again and play wrestling. don’t take it too far though! he wouldn’t like if you gave him so much cold shoulder to the point where he thinks you no longer like him. tease him a bit though, he likes feeling like he’s still trying to win your heart.  he would love a girl who is funny too and who is intelligent enough to have educational conversations if it ever came up. he’d love if his s/o does crazy shit just to make him laugh. i think he would also like someone with a slick mouth! lmaoooooo. i’m sorry but he does. tyun has a smart mouth himself so someone who can match his energy would definitely win him over. take care of him though! even though tyun claims he doesn’t love affection but he loves if his s/o kisses him all the time and cuddles him. tyun is lowkey very clingy so he’d hate to be by himself when on tours and things like that. he would love feeling like he’s needed and cared about! he would also like someone whose very thoughtful, like buying him things that reminds you of him.  

--- as far as body type goes i think tyun doesn’t care but he’s like yeonjun in way. a fashionable curvier girl would catch his eye faster. 

heuning kai; --- kaiiiii<33 in my opinion i don’t think kai has a type either. he goes with the flow really, but if you happen to joke and play with him alot he’d fall in love with you. i think kai is very quick so it doesn’t take much for him to fall in love with someone. he is the type to be a little hesitant about his feelings though. i think kai would love a girl who is just like him. who is hyper at times but knows when to be chill. I think heuning is actually very chill off camera to be honest so he’d love a girl who is the same way. honestly i think kai would like a girl whose on the sexier side. feel me? like not a cutesy type of person but someone who acts and dresses sexy, but has some cutesy traits about them. someone like that would take his heart. he would also love someone with a whole lot of humor but very sweet at the same time. someone he can laugh at anything and everything with because lord knows this boy finds everything funny asf. he would love someone that baby’s him but not too much. let him do things on his own but if he needs help that’s where you come in. he would love someone he can cuddle and kiss all the time. so if you aren’t that affectionate you wouldn’t match well with kai. he would also love a girl with an aesthetic type of fashion style! kai’s style is the epitome of a 90s sitcom teen boy crush with his baggy sweaters, baggy pants and old fashioned sneakers. i think someone who has that old-timey style as well would be really cute for him and he would love for you to dress in his clothes all the time. i think kai also likes play fighting a lot but he wouldn’t be too rough with you. be ready for that lmao! kai would also appreciate if you took time to get to know his sisters since he’s close to them. he’s kind of like beomgyu when it comes to family, he would love inviting you around them all the time so it would be amazing if you built a relationship with them. 

--- as far as body type goes kai really wouldn’t care. he’s really big so he’d love anyone smaller than him no matter their size or shape. i think a fashionable girl with a cute smile would catch his eye first though.

📖 Chef’s words;

🍽 • • • SAUCES.

.

Did you know they actually have a purpose on the plate beyond looking pretty?

.

Sauce does help with the overall aesthetic of the plate. It helps the eye flow throughout the plate by creating movement, connects various components visually (especially if they are spaced out), and can also provide background or grounding to some designs.

.

Sauce can provide another layer of flavor or texture to your dish. While sauces are usually a contrasting flavor to the main item, they can also reinforce the flavor of the main item. Additionally, they can offer another texture depending on the style of sauce. Foams are light and airy, fluid gels are velvety, reductions are sticky, etc..

.

Many times, sauces are an afterthought. In reality, they play a larger role in the overall dish than you might think. They should seamlessly blend with the flavors and style of the dish.

.

Which is your favorite? Mines the last one 😉

EXTROVERTED GEMINI: Very communicative, a literal drama queen, has tons of acquaintances but hates almost everybody and almost everybody hates them. Has like only 3 real friends who do not use the Gemini because this Gemini simply doesn't know when to shut up. Talks to everyone and can be really bitchy at times. Doesn't know how to keep secrets and spreads gossip and rumors like 104% of the time. Loves shopping and art, but also loves hoeing around to death.

Doesn't like to get abused and manipulated while they use and manipulate people on a daily basis, just for fun. But can be easily manipulated into something, even if they're aware of that, because their pride doesn't let them "lose". Likes reading books and doesn't understand paintings. Thinks they're a good leader while they might lead people to hell .... just for fun.

INTROVERTED LEO: A cinnamon roll too pure for this world, learns things really quickly and loves helping people. They're a really good supporter. Totally connected to their cat and thinks their cat is secretly a human being or a miracle. Idolizes things and people. Quite afraid of things most of the time and really, really socially anxious but doesn't show it because their pride doesn't let them. But it can be obvious sometimes, believe me. Likes having long conversations with their friends, but has only one or two friends so they literally can't stop talking or typing when they're alone with their friend. Doesn't let their parents find out anything about themselves and makes everybody watch their favourite tv show

EXTROVERTED VIRGO: Really communicative and organized, a great leader, full of knowledge, doesn't really show their emotions by keeping a poker face most of the time. A really good supporter and knows how to lead people on the right way. A very good teacher in life. You can learn a lot from them. Their capabilities know no boundaries. Very, very intelligent and ambitious but not power-hungry... well, ok, sometimes. Really enthusiastic about the topic they're talking about but doesn't want anyone to find out that they're obsessed with that particular thing. Loves coffee and loves food. Always achieves their goals and it's mostly done the hard way

INTROVERTED VIRGO: Their mind is chaos, just unbearable. Certainly NOT organized, doesn't even know where they're going when they get out of their house. Hates most people and thinks that most people hate them, but really chill when they're outside with their friends. Just doesn't know how to communicate with people properly and they're really, really obsessed with themselves. They have a higher opinion on themselves (read egotistic). Intelligent but doesn't know how to use their intelligence and they always refuse advice

EXTROVERTED LIBRA: Communicative af, even when they don't know what they're talking about. Has knowledge in all spheres of life and is a really sweet cinnamon roll too pure for this world. Tons of emotions and needs constant reminders to stay organized like sticky notes and stuff. Has interesting style and has the best eyebrows. Really appealing and beautiful, both physically and mentally. Likes seeming normal just because they're keeping their kinky self for their partner. Really good in bed and really intelligent. Very, VERY committed once they find the true love of their life but can be a fuckboy/fuckgirl when they haven't found their true love because they love experimenting with people and is aware that they can get the most beautiful boyfriends and girlfriends

INTROVERTED LIBRA: Loves books and shopping and is really organized. Likes pastel colours and loves cats. Behaves like royalty and wants to be admired. REally feminine. A dreamy girl/boy who wants to find their soulmate. Enjoys coffee, tea, long walks and deep conversations. Likes staring through their window and is often absent-minded, daydreams a lot. Really good, genuine and kind. Cries after somebody hurts them but always forgives people and is really not combative. Likes poetry and loves speaking in public, although they're an introvert

EXTROVERTED SCORPIO: Loves meeting new people and can really be successful but often wastes that potential on getting drunk, partying, love and sex. But still, dazzles with their appearance and is really hot. Hides their low self-confidence by manipulating people and hurting others just to feel good and in control. Really loyal to the people who are their TRUE friends but often tends to skip going out with their friends because there's some diCc/puSsi on the plate. But still, loyal to death and never hesitates to reach their hand and help a friend in need of help. Can be really problematic and chaotic because they're unorganized but they live in their own world and know that everything is going to be okay

INTROVERTED SCORPIO: Way too socially anxious and doesn't care about anyone hurting their emotions. Really depressed most of the time but forgets about their depression when they're with their friends. They don't have too many friends because they're introverted af and they don't know how to communicate with people in public. Can be quite inappropriate but always knows how to make others laugh. Will act as a clown if it helps a friend to stop being sad. Really intelligent and rarely uses their intelligence and potential because they're busy eating tasty food while playing video games or watching movies. They're even socially awkward with animals - that's how far it goes with introverted people with this sign. But not to be mistaken, they're really good and emotional but they don't like showing their emotions in front of people, they think it makes them weak SADasd

EXTROVERTED SAGITTARIUS: Emotional as fuck. They're emotions are chaos and they're so fucking introverted that everybody can see what's going on in their life. In fact, they LOVE exposing themselves. Really physically beautiful, popular and active on social media. Has great aesthetics and is obsessed with shopping. Acts like royalty and loves commanding people. A little bit self-centered and egotistic and think that they're always right, so when somebody doesn't accept their opinion they instantly start raging about it

INTROVERTED SAGITTARIUS: Loves bossing people around, even though they're an introvert. Hates showing their emotions and can be a really big manipulator at times. However, very emotional and one of the biggest fighters there are. Really, REALLY intense. You don't want to see them getting mad. They can easily hurt you but you can easily hurt them too because they're fragile as fuck on the inside, but they will never admit that you've hurt them in any way because they're proud as fuck so nobody is messing with the queen

EXTROVERTED CAPRICORN: Really funny and interesting, talks to everybody about everything. Always says what's on their mind and loves buying unique things. Doesn't have good grades but that doesn't mean that they're unintelligent or stupid. On the contrary. Very intelligent and daydreams a lot, loves telling jokes and has a fucked up sense of humor. So unique. Loves money but doesn't like to admit it lmao. Very artistic and loves philosophy, animals, nature, music and languages. A fair player most of the time and knows how to support their friends. Selfless on the outside, selfish on the inside. Also, loves cooking some strange things which usually taste very weird but in a good way

INTROVERTED CAPRICORN: Doesn't speak at all and just sits there waiting for the world to end. You really just can't make them say a word because they're a little bit self-centered and they think that they don't have to waste their time talking to unimportant people about unimportant things. However, they can get really silly sometimes and burst off, even though they're an introvert. Can't stop talking about things they love, it's really strange how such a person who doesn't talk at all - turns into a youtuber the moment they find out that somebody likes the same things that they do. Money kinda rule their world and they really want to earn money with everything they do, but having no money doesn't stop them from achieving the things they want in life

EXTROVERTED AQUARIUS: You just can't see them sober. Parties, drugs, journeys, walks in nature and such things move their world. Just can't stop partying all the time. Has lots of friends and is really popular, probably is a DJ or a famous singer. Really seductive and beautiful physically. Simply everybody is their friend (except for the people they hate lmao) and they can always find someone to hang out with, because everybody wants to hang out with them. Really intense and quite bitchy most of the time, which makes them seem really arrogant but that's just how it is and they are fully aware of this

INTROVERTED AQUARIUS: You can't see emotions on their face. It's impossible. They might even question themselves if they're human beings because they aren't really aware of their emotions most of the time. Loves plants and things like aliens, unicorns, etc. Lives in a fantasy world and hates the real world. So impatient about everything and has nervous breakdowns when somebody complains about something they do. Really nice to people, even though they hate like 99% of them. Has probably a tumblr blog and rages on it about everything. Roasts famous people on twitter and doesn't even care about it

EXTROVERTED PISCES: Goal-oriented as fuck. Doesn't stop until they get what they want. REALLY emotional, maybe the sign with the most intense emotions out there. Is a really good friend with everybody but can be a little bit bitchy and arrogant at times, especially when things are not going their way. Actually, when it's hard for them to get or achieve something, they use manipulation to get what they want. As I said, their emotions are very intense so literally everything hurts them because they're sensitive as fuck. Eccentric af. When somebody hurts them in any way, they always find a way to hurt that person's back and nobody can even see that they're behind everything that's happening to that person. Sly. But very loyal to their real friends and will never let them down. When they love - they love with every piece of their soul and would put their heart into a person they love's hands, if it needs be. Because of their intense temper, sometimes they might seem like a fiery sign because they explode and hurt people really quickly

INTROVERTED PISCES: So fucking sensitive and their mind is chaos. Doesn't know what they're doing most of the time but in the end they always succeed in everything they do. People see them as fragile but that's just how they seem. They are actually really strong because they've been through a lot. Born with tremendous artistic tendencies and art is literally their life. They are very talented. Loves animals, shopping, nature, taking long walks, deep conversations and stargazing. Loves books and learning new weird languages and has tons of inside jokes with their 2 friends. They open up really hardly and they just don't let everybody in their life - they are really picky when it comes to people that they let in their life. Socially anxious as fuck and will look like a fool if they try to talk in public, so they avoid such situations

The Seoul Trip : The Beginning

Day 1

So,...to begin with, 16 hours on a plane (with a 3 hour layover in Dubai) is not as fun as one might have first thought - there’s only so many travel escalators you can ride before it isn’t fun anymore! However, despite all my preconceived misconceptions about them, in-flight meals really aren’t that bad! And being able to play an endless amount of rounds of Tetris and Connect definitely helps to pass the time. But, needless to say, the minute we began the descent into Incheon airport, any tiredness that had began to pull at our bodies, in response to the 24+ hours of being awake, immediately vanished upon looking out of the window and seeing our home for the next almost 3 weeks: Seoul! There are no words to describe the feeling of seeing the reality of a dream you’d been dreaming for 3+ years. Yet, the second we sat on the KTX to make our way to our airb’n’b, and we began to see the landscape of South Korea fly past us outside, we ended up sitting in near silence in our astonishment that we’d actually just flown half way across the world to temporary live a life that had always seemed so out of reach. Stepping off of the metro and emerging from Hyochang park station onto the street was even more overwhelming.

Now, if you ever find yourself making the dream trip to South Korea, and you find you get anxiety about not knowing where to go, how to get places, how to speak to people, etc, etc... DONT!  ‘Cause let me tell you, we were stood pondering our screenshot of google maps looking like your standard confused foreigners at the exit to the station for all of 3 minutes, before a woman (and her adorable dog) approached us, and asked in English (bless her soul) if we needed help getting somewhere! From there it took us around 10 minutes of walking before we rocked up at our officetel, completely haggard and with our clothes sticking to us where we’d been wearing them for so long. Then, almost immediately, we had to venture to the nearest convenience store to grab water and food, which despite our initial shyness was a walk in the park with how tired we were. And even though we hadn’t even begun to think about the language barrier in those kind of situations, the cashier looked just as done for the day as we were, and therefore purchasing our water and ramyeon went by with a simple ‘kamsamnida’, before we made our way back to our little home away from home, only just making it through the door before collapsing.

Day 2

The Exploring begins! Or rather, Jet-lag got us, and we only managed to leave the house at around 3:30pm xD However, once we were dressed presentably and had woken up enough to deduce that we needed to eat food at least once a day to not starve, we rode down from our 18th floor apartment, and made our way to Samgakji station in the direct of Itaewon, by suggestion of a friend. All I’m going to say; two Caucasian, blonde, foreigners, stand out a little in the residential neighborhood - although, in no-way was it in a bad sense! For anyone wondering what the Seoul metro is like, I’d consider it similar in efficiency to the London tube - it’s definitely a lot cleaner and much less cramped (so far!). We’d already bought our T-money cards the day before (in true koreaboo fashion they have Line(c) friends on them) so buzzing in and out of the metro was/is almost too easy, and when we emerged already completely overwhelmed in Itaewon we couldn’t wait to see what would greet us. Let me tell you now, it was the greatest feeling to see it with my own eyes, and have confirmed that it was everything i’d thought and dreamed it would be.

Although it was raining, the coloured roads and the enthusiastic business promotions shone as brightly as if the sun was shining, and the smells of gochujang, bbq, and pizza made our mouths water with every restaurant we passed. Despite Ju’s enthusiasm to find food immediately, after she put me on chief duty to find a place to eat, we ended up walking round for a while (2 hours!*), taking in the sight of each street and surveying the area; pretty much immersing ourselves in being here, before we ended up deciding to venture into a ‘foreign food store’ on the search for some teabags - which any British person will know, is an essential part of living, especially in the case of Ju, who, fyi, makes the best cup of tea in the world! After grabbing the essentials, it was finally an acceptable time to eat, since we’d arrived at Itaewon between mealtimes, and so we headed towards what looked like a full on ‘foodie street’, and proceeded to do the traditional foreigner thing of heading into the first obviously Korean restaurant we saw. 

For all of you suffering from Wanderlust, but too scared to make the trip to Korea - or even to anywhere that speaks a different language - top tip number 1 would be; a language barrier is only a barrier when you see it as one. Now, I’m not going to say I wasn’t scared shitless upon entering a restaurant in a foreign country for the first time, because lets be honest, I was crapping myself, but all you have to remember is businesses are just glad to have business (it keeps people fed and with roofs over their heads). So, the second I climb the stairs to the 1st floor restaurant and I catch the eye of the waitresses sat chatting in the corner of the empty room, I’m immediately ready to turn back. However, the second they see two people with hunger in their eyes, and who were obviously foreign, they waste no time in gesturing us in and after we greeted one another and asked for a table, they showed us politely in, providing us with water and menus immediately. Given that we were hungry, it didn’t take us long to order a serving of bibimbap and Kimchi stew, and within 10 minutes? it was steaming away in front of us, accompanied by a couple of side dishes and a kind smile. Now, i don’t know about anyone else, but from the first minute i learned about the incredible taste of Korean food, i immediately began experimenting with recipes and ingredients in an attempt to create the same taste back in England...However, none of my culinary escapades had ever prepared me for the taste of genuine Korean kimchi stew. It was the BEST first meal I could have hoped for! Afterwards we had to sit for around 20 minutes just to digest the food - although it also gave us time to take in the view of the aesthetic green roofs and the beautiful decor of Itaewon. Of course, as it was our first meal, we then had to go through the awkwardness of trying to call for the bill, which after looking up the translation so that my faulty memory filled with various Korean phrases didn’t offend anyone, simply involved politely gesturing to a waitress who showed me to the counter, before we were thanking the employees and were on our way. (Top Tip number 2: I’d like to remind anyone who plans on visiting South Korea and gets as overwhelmed as I do, that when you hand over money at the till (or just when you’re handling things in general), get that goddamn spare hand on your forearm! Manners Maketh Man, people!) Other than visiting the convenience store once again to grab some foods for the evening, including the essentials (banana milk, HELLO! O.O), and watching dramas, music shows, and ‘Return of superman’  (*and edit a video) for the rest of the evening to try and scrap jet-lag for good, that’s pretty much all for our journey so far.

 We have so much planned for this journey, but we also want to use it as a chance to experience properly living in the country, so there will be times when it seems like we’re cramming everything into one day, and times when it will appear as though we’ve done absolute nothing, but to be honest, that sounds like the perfect plan to us!  So, for now, I hope you’ve enjoyed this little (jokes) summary of our past 48 hours, and I’ll catch you up with more of our adventure in Seoul in the next blog post! ^^ If you have any questions about anything to do with travelling to Seoul and being here in itself; communication, booking things, culture, experience, ANYTHING, just hit up our ask box, and we’ll be more than glad to give you as much of an answer as we are able! :) 

Ciao! ;)

Sophie Calle: The chromatic diet

Research Material (My personal comments and/or reflections on the article are written in between brackets)

https://phoode.com/blog/colorful-influence-sophie-calles-chromatic-diet/

Color is a food photographer’s greatest weapon. Simply looking at any social media star of the culinary world reveals that much. Bright, saturated hues quickly demand attention and bring subjects front and center for hungry audiences. Today, even amateurs relegated to camera phones know to sprinkle vibrant greens, deep reds, and stark shades of purple and yellow to attain visually appealing foods. But things weren’t always that way. With a series comprised of less than 10 images, artist Sophie Calle revolutionized how we think about the aesthetics of our dinner plates.

The project started with a woman named Maria. In the early 90’s, Calle challenged author Paul Auster  to “invent a fictive character” whom she would  “attempt to resemble”. Maria, a photographer fascinated with the lines between fact and fiction was the result. Auster’s subsequent book, Leviathan, introduced Maria to the world. However, it was Sophie Calle that truly brought her to life through a series of exercises, which were recorded and compiled into a publication titled Double Game.

One notable eccentricity Auster assigned to Maria was the tendency to restrict her foods to a single color on any given day. In order to connect with the character, Calle recreated The Chromatic Diet in a marriage of photography and performance art. On the surface, this small series may seem a bit too conceptual for your average food shoot. Yet, it’s clear to see the influence this series subconsciously endowed on a new generation of viral Instagram artists. 

(This is exactly what I do not like at all about instagram and the constant photos taken of food. The message that the instagram influencers pass through is that IF you eat as they do, then you will stay slim, otherwise you will be fat forever. I find this message so manipulative and horrible that I refuse in primis to take pictures of food and secondly to share them in any kind of form, even for a project. The beliefs around food are so many that I really do not want to share more misinformation regarding it. What I mean is that the risk for people to read the project in the wrong way would be so high that I do not even want to go that way. I just find it disgusting, because it can cause so many issues if read by people with eating disorders such anorexia, bulimia and so on.  I refuse to cause any harm in any way. I do not want to be part of that community.)

The images themselves are simple. The food isn’t dolled up. By design, the meals even feel a bit unnatural. Nevertheless, The Chromatic Diet is a series that grabs attention. Quite simply, it’s a study of color in the form of food. The monochrome sea also forces attention to the geometry of each shot, balanced with the upmost care. It may seem counterintuitive, but the presentation and emphasis on the core elements of design make dishes as boring as an unseasoned flounder filet on a bed of white rice something worth focusing on.

Few would classify Calle as a food photographer. But her work’s merit cannot be denied. Just like The Chromatic Diet, modern food photography often features minimalistic subject matter dominated by demanding blasts of color.

Take the modern food photography of Lucy Litman, for instance. Color roots her hodge-podge collection of popular food photos. Whether she’s working with seltzer cans or hand-picked vegetables, she pairs each subject with a corresponding Pantone shade. Swatches often frame the food itself, creating stark squares against marble countertops.

David Schwen, a designer/foodie with over 140k followers on Instagram, has also been known to experiment with Pantone swatches and culinary classics. But even his more “traditional” food photos nod – intentionally or otherwise – to The Chromatic Diet. A recent series on sandwiches features the same bird’s eye angle and attention to geometric form. And, while they feature more contrast, Schwen’s images demonstrate the same understanding of color Calle flaunted two decades earlier.

Litman and Schwen are only the tip of the iceberg – a handful of artists have even gone so far as to create chromatic diets of their own! Calle’s process may have been a bit roundabout in comparison to most modern food photography. However, her willingness to step outside the lines left ripples in the way people began to think about presenting food. She looked beyond ingredients and taste.  Instead, she decided to focus on the language of color – a tongue that translates just as well into the realm of fine arts as it does the advertising sector.

Seattle may be known for its coffee, but we have welcomed another caffeine kick in the Emerald City with a cult following: Boba Tea. 

When I left my small hometown in Eastern Washington to live in Seattle, I landed in the midst of a city rich in culture and opportunities. Being something of a foodie and curious at heart, my initial entry point into Seattle’s culture was an exploration of our restaurants. Through a recommendation I started at Din Tai Fung, a lively and vastly praised Taiwanese restaurant near the University of Washington. It was there that I first tried a drink that I had glimpsed swirling around throughout the city: boba tea.

Boba tea, also called “bubble tea”, is a popular Taiwanese drink with two key ingredients: tea and toppings. “Toppings” refer to additions like sweetened tapioca pearls (boba), popping lychee bubbles, cubed aloe or fruit jellies, pudding, or even ice cream. The tea I had at Din Tai Fung was a classic black milk tea with tapioca, served on ice. However, the basic tea + topping formula can be varied by different teas, flavors (from brown sugar to mango), added milk or non-dairy creamers, sweetness level (ranging from 0-100%), and temperature. The result is a highly customizable and always delicious treat.

Although Taiwanese boba tea has spread all around the globe, Seattle is fortunate enough to host a multitude of show-stopping tea shops which have in turn built a hefty population of loyal boba lovers. As a newly initiated member of the fandom, I was eager to try more. Below, you’ll find my path through some of my favorite boba shops, all the while wandering through the Chinatown-International, University, and Downtown districts of Seattle.

Chinatown-International District

At Young Tea in the Chinatown-International District. Faith Dowsett

Whether you’re a long-time boba-believer or a humble bubble-beginner, I always recommend your quest begin in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, nestled between Pioneer Square and the stadiums of SODO. Here you will find a vibrant community of eateries, museums, family-run stores, and tea shops speckled with lanterns, perching Asian figurines, and ornate design.

From the Chinatown-International District Station, walk a few blocks east to Young Tea, a quiet tea shop known for boba that emphasizes the complex tastes of a quality brewed tea. Here my drink of choice is the Pu-erh Black Sugar Milk Tea with tapioca pearls, a drink that mixes the silky-smooth flavors of black sugar and milk with the gentle earthiness of Pu-erh black tea.

If you have an afternoon, stick around the district and explore Uwajimaya — a large shopping hub complete with imported delicacies, an Asian food court, bookstore, and gift market. Then, check out the Grand Pavilion and dragon mural at Hing Hay Park before peeking into the Wing Luke Museum or the Seattle Pinball Museum.

University District

Closely following the Chinatown-International District in terms of boba lovers is the U-District, which surrounds the University of Washington. Stroll through campus and you’ll likely see students toting cups of tea recognizable by the signature extra-wide boba straws. To find the origin, head over to University Way Avenue, affectionately doted “The Ave” by Huskies and locals alike.

On the Ave is an abundance of cheap eats — if you are hungry, stop into Sizzle-N-Crunch for a Banh Mi or Aladdin’s Gyro-Cery for their famous “Aladdin-Fries” (imagine dumping a gyro atop a plate of fresh fries. It will be your next guilty pleasure).

Or if you only have eyes for boba tea, head straight into one of the 10 tea shops within 10 minutes of the campus. While Oasis Tea Zone, Ding Tea, and Chatime are all great options, Sharetea on 45th Street is my tea MVP. Here, I love a sweet and nutty Taro Pearl Milk Tea or a Wintermelon and Aloe Tea for something light and fruity. Sharetea runs sweeter, so if you are looking for something more savory, try setting your sweetness level down a notch.

Downtown

A Strawberry Smoothie, Taro Smoothie, and Classic Milk Tea from Dreamy Drinks Food Truck. Faith Dowsett

Looking for a second wind after a day of shopping through Westlake Center and Pacific Place? Not to fear — right in the center of the plaza you can usually find Seattle’s first boba tea food truck, Dreamy Drinks. (They also park at Seattle events on occasion, so don’t forget to check their schedule here before you plan a visit!)

Even without the line of fans, the pastel purple truck is hard to miss. The unicorn logo is a background to countless photos and the drinks are as dreamy as advertised. If you want to jump on the bandwagon, the Taro Smoothie with boba is a delicious addition to an aesthetic purple snapshot. If you aren’t feeling a smoothie, the Classic Milk Tea with warm gooey boba is a fan favorite, hot or cold.

Once you’re feeling refreshed, consider taking your tea on a quick trek down to nearby Pike Place Market for a stroll among freshly-cut flowers, street buskers, and endless food and produce vendors.

Although I have now lived in the Emerald City for several years, my path of discovery is continuous. I still spend many days exploring, sometimes drinking teas or tasting new foods, while other days trying to listen and learn from other corners of the city. Beyond my boba recommendations is one overarching nugget of advice for your time in Seattle: Let your curiosity propel you into something new.

Good luck, and cheers!

Promising 30 Digital Marketing Ideas for Taking Your Food Business Online

Prior to the advent of social media networks, e-commerce websites, and mobile devices, getting your food business noticed meant relying on the word-of-mouth, print media reviews, and walk-in traffic recommendations. It meant creating an unforgettable brick and mortar experience in a desirable location with busy foot traffic, as this is what equaled a constant flow of customers.

Nowadays, ambitious specialized bakeries operating out of home kitchens and unheard of start-ups can find success because the digital age has ushered in things like visual content, loyalty programs, geo-targeted ads, and online branded business identities.

Look at below 30 Digital Marketing ideas for taking your food business online so that you can reach your audience and compete with the best.

1. Enable Online Ordering:

Regardless of whether you sell packaged food or full-on meals that are prepped fresh in store, having an e-commerce website that allows individuals to buy online has huge potential leveraging on-demand food ordering platform development. Not only do they get to skip the line, but they may also pop in to grab their food if they are nearby.

2. Publish Dynamic Online Content:

Content is the King. Publishing helpful, original and value-laden content for your audience will help you in establishing authority, rank higher on Google and keep your target audience interested in what you have to say.

3. Be Active on Niche Food Communities:

If you are a small food company looking to get brand exposure, consider being active in niche food communities beyond Pinterest. Instagram is a must but there are also ones like FoodNiche & BakeSpace.

4. Pin Yourself to Success on Pinterest:

The food category is one of the most browsed and popular niches on the social media platform and is the one that gets pinned the most. Pinterest is also easier for smaller businesses to find new audiences on.

5. Jump onto the Bandwagon With Foodie Photos:

“Food porn” is very much alive and well and is one of the best ways to promote your restaurant or small town bakery. High-quality, drool-inducing photography draws in hungry eyes and produces new customers.

6. Partner with Loyalty Programs:

If you are running a restaurant, consider partnering with online food apps and customer loyalty programs that reward visitors to check out your restaurant. Incentives can be free purchases or discounts after a certain amount of items are bought.

7. Invest in Getting Yelp Reviews:

Even if you do not have a Yelp account, visitors will still review you on the platform. Yelp has tremendous backing power in the food industry because of how accredited and legitimate the website is. So, set up an account and make sure that the Yelp is working in your favor. Add details like photos, store hours, location, menu, price range, and whether you have WiFi, free parking, and outdoor seating.

8. Set Up a Google Account and Get Google My Business:

When individuals search up your business using Google, it’ll pop up to the right of the search results. This encourages users to visit your website, read reviews, and it gives them quick and easy access to your contact information. Best of all, it’s free.

9. Promote User-Generated Content:

When you promote and use content that is generated by your audience, not only are you showing them that you appreciate them but you get free brand exposure from their followers, friends, and family.

10. Start Up a Blog:

Having a consistent way to communicate and engage your community while building it simultaneously is what a blog offers. Not only do you get to create your business’ voice and personality, but you get to share your struggles and successes with your customers.

11. Share Blog Posts to Social Media Platforms:

Get paid traffic driven to your blog by using advertising campaigns through social media platforms like Facebook. This can help you build buzz around the content you create and drive more traffic to your website.

12. Consider Asking Food Bloggers to Promote Your Products:

Get in touch with food bloggers and ask them to promote your food products. Just make sure you choose a few to write to that have built up an excellent rapport with their audience first.

13. Publish Photos and Videos in Real Time:

Use Instagram stories and Snapchat to create ephemeral content, which is content that disappears after a short period of time and is filmed or created in real-time. Consumers love behind the scenes content because it builds authenticity.

14. Utilize the Power of Live Video or Streaming:

A lot of consumers prefer to be able to watch their brands live as this puts them in touch with you on a more intimate level.

15. Use Chatbots to Personalize Marketing Funnels:

Leverage AI based conversational and custom chatbot development for your restaurant and allow it to answer customer queries, generate leads, and analyze the feedback you get on your website and social media pages. Chatbots are good for having communication channels live 24/7.

16. Use Location-based Marketing or Geofencing:

If you are a restaurant with a mobile app, use Geolocation-based marketing to target your audience. Location-based marketing will trigger a response such as a push notification to pop up on your audience’s smartphones whenever they are near your restaurant.

17. Get an Alexa Skill Up on Amazon:

Jump into the voice control market and create an Alexa Skill App for your restaurant. This will allow your audience to listen to your menu through their Amazon device, make it easier to order on the go, or get information from your website.

18. Use iBeacons to Market to Customers:

Use Apple’s iBeacon technology to broadcast your restaurant’s advertisements through self-contained packets of data to smartphone devices in the area. You can deliver these advertisements through push notifications, app actions, and prompts.

19. Use High-Quality Content Marketing:

Create informative and relevant content for your restaurant through how-to guides that inform and educate, blog posts that outline menu recipes and fun infographics that detail out your restaurant’s selling points.

20. Use Influencer Marketing:

Working with food influencers is one of the best digital strategies you can use for your restaurant. This is especially true of Instagram media influencers who love to share photos about the type of foods they are eating. You can go about this a few ways: partner with the food influencer, ask them to write a review or host an event with them.

21. Don’t Forget Seasonal Offers Through Ads:

Pull out special offers for unique seasons and promote them using Facebook Ads. One of the best ways to get people to buy your products is by using Facebook’s “claim coupon” which allows your audience to claim a food product or discount.

22. Promote Customer Review Videos Through Ads:

Keep your audience engaged by promoting your company through the review videos you get. Although these should be up on your website, promoting them through Facebook and Google Ads helps spread them to a wider audience. Consumers who see these videos are going to feel more confident in purchasing from you.

23. Create an Infographic for Your Popular Foods:

An infographic is a great way to make a meaningful impact as it uses a combination of data, graphic design, and valuable content. Plus, these tend to get shared a lot on social media platforms.

24. Run an Instagram or Facebook Contest:

One of the easiest and most popular ways to increase your exposure and audience at the same time is by running contests that require your audience to engage with your social media profiles. This could be liking or sharing your page, commenting on a photograph, or creating a caption on an image.

25. Consider Hosting an Event at Your Restaurant:

Hosting an event, a wine tasting, or even a dish tasting at your restaurant is sure to bring in prospective customers. As always, you can promote this event on social media platforms, through blogs, and through press releases.

26. Create a Mobile Application:

This could be as simple as having a menu application to as complicated as ordering for delivery. Depending on what type of restaurant you own, you can even mesh these two together. Having a mobile application that is responsive and user-friendly with excellent reviews, will garner you exposure on the mobile market.

27. Consider Using Press Releases:

If your restaurant just won a big award, has a grand new opening coming up, or is choosing to expand, use press releases to announce it to the public. You can then use SEO to optimize it and build natural backlinks from external sources.

28. Include Customer Reviews on Your Website and Social Media Profiles:

If you are running a restaurant that has its hand in e-commerce, do not underestimate the value that customer reviews can have. Individuals want to read the feedback left and the more positive feedback that you receive, the better your reputation online will be.

29. Have a Website That is Engaging and Interesting:

Make sure that you are using colors that pop, designs that tell a story and images that are crisp, clear, and delicious looking. Include links to your popular dishes, food products, and drinks, and always make sure that promotions and deals are easily accessible. You want your customers to explore the website and stay on it as long as possible. If you are not shipping out food items and are running a restaurant, add on a reservation booking option.

30. Always Use Social Media Platforms that Suit Your Product:

Harness the power of social media marketing platforms by pairing up with the one that best suits what you are trying to sell. For food businesses and restaurants, visual platforms are often the best, as they allow you to show off your food in an aesthetically pleasing way.

According to a study by Harvard Business School, A one-star increase in Yelp rating leads to a 5-9% increase in revenue.

Food website design: Tips and best practices

Food websites often lack visual appeal even though their goal is to tempt their audience.  However, the best food websites are incredibly attractive.

The secret to creating the most beautiful websites is about learning to see through the eyes of your clients.  This will help you to capture the attention of your audience.

When you are working with food websites, you don’t only want to show a plate of food or a cup of coffee.  Instead, include the ambiance, the conversation, the attractive foods, and the overall vibe.

It might sound challenging to do this in a single image or webpage.  We’re here to give you great tips on creating great foodie websites.

Think from your clients’ perspective

When creating food websites, it helps to look at your clients.  Who would you like to reach and why?  A comfortable coffee shop which appeals to students and bloggers will have a different vibe to a family pizza and pasta shop.

What would you like your clients to know about your restaurant?  Is it the great free wifi and coffee and cake specials?  Or how about the bumper pizza specials and play space for the kids.  When designing your food website, take the following into account:

What can I eat here? This could include a full menu as well as great images.

What will the food cost and are there any specials?

How does the restaurant look? Include images from a gallery.

Where is the restaurant located?

Can I book a table or a delivery online?

How do I find contact information for this restaurant?

Can I use wifi during a work lunch?

Is this restaurant child-friendly?

Asking questions will help you to understand (and speak to) the needs of your clients.

The best food websites embrace simplicity 

Foodie websites are often very visual.  This helps to share the color, atmosphere and aesthetic appeal of a space.  Whenever text is used, it should be kept to a minimum.

You’ll need to give customers all the information they need while providing only a small amount of information.  Keep content to a few small paragraphs on a food website.

Choose an attractive color scheme

Top food websites will use an attractive color scheme.  Using bright colors as a background won’t bring visual appeal to a foodie site.  Instead, keep your background pale and neutral.

If you do want to add bright or bold colors, such as the greens and reds of an Italian style restaurant, use them in moderation or you may overwhelm your customers.

Foodie websites must be simple and easy to read.  Your clients are looking for key information that they can digest easily.  Keep lettering simple and highly legible.

Go minimal

The landing page of a foodie website should be simple and clean.  You want your page to be user-friendly while providing all the basic information.  Stick to simple designs which will appear fresh and uncluttered.

Create a site which is easy to navigate

The very best food websites are easy to navigate.  This means that all information on your site is easy to find.  When food websites are well designed, clients are able to find the information they need.  Navigating a foodie website should be intuitive.

Having industry style pages for orders, bookings, menus, introductions and contact information will help your customers understand how to interact with a site.  This will make finding information quick and easy.

Display information clearly

Food websites are at their best when they show off all the information clients need.  A website is there to tell clients all they need to know about a business.  By making information easily accessible, clients won’t need to look elsewhere.

Menu

When you create a dedicated Menu page, clients will be able to assess what is to eat.  Make all of your different menus (such as breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night menus) easily available.

Make it clear that different menu choices will be available depending on the time of day, and which choice is available when.  Make it possible for your clients to move easily from one menu to another.

Order Online

Many clients prefer to order online.  Customers browsing tasty treats may decide to order what you have on offer if you create an online ordering system.  Foodie websites which allow online ordering will have a higher conversion rate.

If users want to order online, the best food websites turn this into a very simple and easy procedure.  Your customers should know when their order has been placed, when it will be ready, and how it can be picked up or delivered.

Let clients know your location

If you have a single location, you can place your address online.  Many restaurants even design their food websites with a map.

If you are part of a franchise, however, your clients may not know where to go or which is the nearest option to them.

Place each outlet onto your site, with a map as well as an address.  Add contact details and trading hours to your site so that your clients will know how to locate you.

Add a feedback button

By adding a feedback button, customers will feel valued.  When you show you care what your clients think or feel, you reach out.  You’ll gain insight into how to improve your services.

You will also create a space for clients to share any grievances so that they can easily be resolved.

Add social media buttons

Would you like your clients to know more about your everyday actions?  Would you like to encourage them to follow you or interact with you on a day to day basis?  If so, you could always add social media buttons to your site.

Add a call to action button encouraging people to follow you on social media.  ‘Follow us on Instagram’ or ‘Like us on Facebook’ will encourage your customers to share in the latest buzz.  The best food websites often include images from social media sites such as Instagram.

Create an attractive About Us Page and an easily identifiable logo

If you want to create one of the most stunning food websites, focus on your About Us page.  This will show the atmosphere or personality of your restaurant.  You could introduce the people who are behind your restaurant, such as the head chef or owners.  You can also share what you love about food, the culture of your restaurant and what makes you stand out from the competition.

Give your clients a peek behind the scenes

If your restaurant is known for a great chicken dish or vegetarian lasagna, give your clients a peek into how it was made.  This will build trust in your process.  It will also encourage viewers if they haven’ttried your dish yet.  You’ll also let your clients know that they are eating fresh food which hasn’t been re-heated or purchased from an outside source.

Add excellent images

Food websites rely on images to add that special touch.  You want your clients to be able to see the steam rise of a cappuccino, or taste the moistness in a slice of chocolate cake.

By using an excellent image on your landing page, you will entice your customers.  Make sure you also add great images to your menu page. Your goal is to tempt your audience into making a reservation or online order.

Food photography will tempt your clients into trying your food if they are of a very high standard.  The best food websites use high-quality images which makes your food look tempting.  Bland, grainy looking photos will lack appeal.  It is worth consulting a professional photographer for foodie websites.

When you add images, remember to look beyond the food.  Add images which show the vibe of your restaurant.  You want to encourage your customers to come along and enjoy time with friends, or enjoying a cup of coffee while writing up their latest blog posts.

Create a responsive site

Time out of work is often time spent on a mobile phone.  Hungry travelers, tired parents and overworked students will often use their mobile phones while searching for a place to eat.  Food websites should be optimized for mobile use.

You’ll need a site which displays your location and opening hours clearly even on a small screen.  You’ll also need to have an easy to use site which will enable quick and easy online bookings or orders.

Keep it calm

Foodie websites should offer ambiance.  The best food website designs are clean and uncluttered.

Web developers will advise you against adding music or animation to your sites.  These will distract and overwhelm users.

When you create a new food website, you want to work towards a great user experience.   The most beautiful websites are peaceful and uncluttered.

Mailing lists and contact forms

When creating food designs, it’s helpful to consider contact forms.  Although many people choose to use contact forms as a protection against spam, a contact form is also a great way of acquiring customer email addresses. This can help you to maintain your relationships with your customers.

If your food website is interested in sending out an email marketing campaign, give your clients the option to subscribe to online newsletters.  Your clients could be the first to learn about special offers, special events or tasty treats.

You could also send out recipes for your clients to enjoy at home or offer simple cooking tips.  Make it easy for your clients to sign up with you by offering a link on every page.

Use Google Analytics on your food website designs

The best food websites use Google Analytics to assess how much time people spend on your site as well as what they are searching for.

You’ll find out how your viewers reached your site, links they clicked on or keywords they used.  This will help you to see which advertisements were the most effective.  You will also be able to compare your performances to your competitors and learn from top foodie websites.

physical appearance <font color="D8BFD8">Citlalli isn’t uniquely beautiful in any way, she’s pretty, but overall an average face, nothing really makes her stand out from another female. She dresses up nicely, does her hair, put on makeup that compliments her skin tone. She’s both Spanish and Greek, so her skin is a lovely tan with a slight olive ton to it, her long, dark brown hair almost black in non-natural light. Her eyes are a bright chocolate brown, her lips full. Cit has a toned, slim body type but is not overly thin. She boasts no tattoos and has her ears double pierced as well as her nipples.</font>

personality <font color="D8BFD8">Citlalli actually has three personalities. They each have their own quirks and habits and this all comes about from being a Chimera, a creature with three heads. Personality 1 is known as Leo, a bubbly, spritely personality that loves to be around others, loves adventures and sticks up for the little guy. Leo makes Lalli approachable and sweet, loving, caring and personable. Leo can get fiercely defensive of others that are deemed friends or loved ones and has the most spunk and sass when it comes to protecting what is theirs. Leo is brave and enjoys doing new things. Personality 2 is Snake, a reclusive, depressive, sometimes aggressive type. Snake fears most things, stays away from people, often times appears sad or bored. Snake lives for aesthetic and beauty and finds their human body repulsive. This personality can quickly become agitated and lash out or strike at anyone or anything and it is best to leave Snake alone lest it turn into a fight. Personality 3 is Goat, a weird little soul. Goat is always hungry and tends to constantly be holding or pulling out a snack. Goat is the epitome of gluttony and simple pleasures, enjoying a good day to stay at home and just relax. Goat doesn’t talk much, but when they do it’s about weird shit like conspiracy theories or strange facts about the randomest of things. Goat likes to watch documentaries and live a comfortable life in sweatpants and always looks tired. </font><img src=" https://i.imgur.com/pnVKwRP.png" align="right" /> Dominant Personality Traits <font color="D8BFD8">Leo: Courageous, Fun, Kind, Bubbly Snake: Depressed, Negative, Aggressive, fearful Goat: Strange, Foodie, Forgetful, Tired, Home-body</font>

Biography <font color="D8BFD8">Citlalli was born the oldest of four to loving parents, her father being an ancient Chimera causing her to be born of the same species. Her mother is human, siblings human… apparently it passes down only to the first born. Now she’s a couple hundred years with some spare change and has all the tricks down after plenty of years being taught – dad was a great teacher.

She had a fairly uneventful childhood, besides the Chimera thing, watched a few empires rise and fall, roamed the UK and Europe for a while before heading out to the USA, travelling all about this new land for a few decades to scope it out, ending up in Scarsfaire with a good idea of herself. Lalli figured it was about time to chill out on exploration and make a few friends, have some kind of a life, considering she knew she’d meet a lot of people like herself, supers, who’d get her weird habits like the whole personality thing. Yeah. Definitely time to make some memories. </font> </div></center>
