Who Are We? Check out some fun Q&A's with Tarah, and UFN's wonderful intern, Youa.

Tarah :

What's your favorite color? Pink

If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? I would save a chunk of it, pay off all my immediate family members debts, buy a house, buy a pair of Jimmy Choo’s because I could and take a vacation with my husband somewhere exotic!

Cats or dogs? Dogs!

What's your favorite season? Spring (in TN), Summer (in WA)

What are you embarrassed to admit you can't live without? Celebrity gossip… I’m absolutely addicted!  First thing in the morning, perezhilton.com!

If you could only bring three CDs on a deserted island, what would they be? John Mayer, Rufus Wainwright and Harry Connick Jr. Ideally if I could have 3 mix CD’s of 80’s songs, whiney girl music and one with the guys I listed above then it would be perfect! I always pick shuffle on my iPod, variety is good.

Paper or plastic? Plastic: I reuse them for lunch bags or liners for the bathroom trash can. However those reusable shopping bags are best!

What's your favorite movie of all time? "Adventures in Babysitting" – I heart corny 80’s movies!

What fashion item did you wear to shreds growing up? I loved the plastic chain necklaces in the 80's - the one's with the little trinket attachments, like a toilet, a guitar, whistle, baby bottle, bells, etc. I was obsessed, I had so many!!

Who/what are you currently obsessed with? John Mayer, I love his music, I’ve seen him 5 times in concert sofar, and I really enjoy when he blogs!

Eat in or take out? Both!

What was your favorite band growing up? Music wasn’t a big part of my life as a kid, I grew up in a really religious house and wasn’t allowed to listen to "rock" music for a long time. Once my folks divorced and my mom remarried I was introduced to rock music via my new step-sisters. They were HUGE Duran Duran (Simon Lebon especially) fans so I came to love them and MTV.

If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would it be? Audrey Hepburn, she was amazing! (You’d assume I’d say John Mayer but what if I had dinner with him and he wasn’t as fabulous as I had hoped.  I’d be crushed.)

What's your favorite guilty pleasure? Reading peoples blogs… I’m so nosey! Oh, non-fat sugar-free vanilla iced lattes are on that list too.

Youa :

What's your favorite color? Pink but you wouldn’t know it because I wear so much black.

If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? I would spilt it with my family members, move to the beaches of Thailand and eventually design and promote my own couture line.

Cats or dogs? Dogs.

What's your favorite season? Fall because I love fall fashion and this is the time of the year I see it put to action!

What are you embarrassed to admit you can't live without? My Blackberry. I love everything about it.

If you could only bring three CDs on a deserted island, what would they be? Mixed CD’s of my favorite trance & dance songs.

Paper or plastic? Plastic. I’m real good at reusing them.

What's your favorite movie of all time? Although it just came out… "Sex and the City". I’ve watched it… oh a zillion times!

What fashion item did you wear to shreds growing up? My black turtleneck when I was 7. I dressed it up with jeans or a cute skirt. I haven’t worn anything to shreds since then… thank goodness!

Who/what are you currently obsessed with? Sarah Jessica Parker’s shoes on "Sex and the City"!

Eat in or take out? Eat in. I like to enjoy the ambiance the restaurant has to offer and the food is fresher that way.

What was your favorite band growing up? I love (and still do) Mariah Carey. That girl can sing!

If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would it be? Monique Lhuillier. Her designs are timeless and classic without being boring which is why I love her.

What's your favorite guilty pleasure? Dining out… daily.
