A delicious scarf, especially for a long flight!
High heels definitely make me feel sexy. They help with both posture and attitude.
Photography: I love taking photos of my friends and taking photos for my blog.
I would like to visit Tokyo, do a pizza-tasting tour of New York City, attend a masquerade ball and open a diner.
I never use pickup lines, but when I speak to people I try to make good eye contact. The eyes are the window to the soul. I really believe that.
YOU GET ONE CARRY-ON ITEM. WHAT IS IT?

DO YOU HAVE ANY NATURAL GIFTS?
WHAT'S YOUR BEST PICKUP LINE?

Cosmopolitan and headphones. I like to sit next to strangers and read sex articles to see how uncomfortable it makes them.
I feel sexy when I wear a tight skirt and heels. They make my legs look amazing. I also enjoy wearing matching underwear under a t-shirt and jeans because I'm the only one who knows how hot I really look under my clothes.
I would like to open a bakery. I want to travel before I decide where, but I could see myself opening a bakery on the East Coast. My focus is cakes and cupcakes. Cupcake bakeries are a trend that I love, but I want to make custom cakes and wedding cakes, too.
I guess you could say baking is a natural gift since I taught myself. I can make some badass frosting without a recipe.I'm also really good at finding shapes in clouds and drinking ungodly amounts of coffee.
I don't know, I'm usually the one being hit on. One time, a customer at Pita Pit was flirting with me and said I was the best pita maker ever.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Thomas Robinson got out of a black limousine and immediately went to comfort his seven-year-old sister Jayla, who was waiting outside Antioch Baptist Church Thursday morning.
Jayla's hair was done up in meticulous braids with blue beads at the tips. She clung to her brother's waist and scrunched down against the fur lining of her parka's collar.
By the end of the day Robinson's pain would bring together the people from this neighborhood on the east side of Washington, D.C., and the entire Kansas men's basketball team, Together, in a modest red-brick church, they remembered Lisa Robinson and sought to comfort Thomas, Jayla and their brother Jamah.
Robinson's family and friends arrived throughout the morning, driving through half-plewed
it was the third funeral in less than a month for Robinson, a sophomore forward on the University of Kansas men's
basketball team. Robinson's grandmother died in late December and his grandfather died less than three weeks later. Then, last Friday, the most shocking blow - his mother, Lisa Robinson, died from an apparent heart attack at age 43.

Javorn Farrell played with Robinson at Riverdale Baptist High School in Maryland. Now a sophomore guard at the University of Massachusetts, he had a game Wednesday at St. Bonaventure University, but caught the first flight out of Buffalo, N. Y., Thursday morning to attend the funeral.
"When I got the news, I was heartbroken," Farrell said. "Thomas is like a brother to me."
Just before noon, Robinson's current basketball brothers

The year was 1861 and a tumultuous year it was.
At the height of those battles and in the midst of the uncertainty that faced the nation, President James Buchanan signed the bill admitting Kansas, a free state, as the 34th state in the Union.
After nearly a decade of fighting and debates regarding slavery, Kansas had become known as "Bleeding Kansas."
Kansas Day on Jan. 29 will mark the sesquicentennial, Kansas' 150th birthday, as well as the 134th observed celebration of Kansas' statehood. Events and activities statewide will help commemorate the day.
"Kansas Day is a good opportunity to raise awareness of our state and make people proud to be a Kansan," said Mary Madden, the director of education and outreach for the Kansas State Historical Society and lecturer in the Museum Studies program at the University of Kansas.
