catch of the week // ALLISON RICHARDSON
our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
Contributed photo
HOMETOWN: Lenexa
YEAR:"Perpetual student — I graduated in May of 2009, but I just keep taking classes. I can't quit Lawrence, I can't.".
MAJOR: Art History and French
INTERESTED IN: Men.
**Turn ons:** Nice hands, because I hand model,
Seriously, I do. The lumberjack look, aka beard/
scriff, flannel, boots. I think that it might have
something to do with the Brawny man. Not
being an asshole, I think that this one may be
self-explanatory.
Turn offs: Really short, bitten-off fingernails. Men who chew with their mouth open — this is honestly the most disgusting thing in the world and it's not the image, it's the noise. Not showering. Guys with a funky sack (please catch the Dane Cook reference).
Hobbies: I play soccer with a co-ed team for the Lawrence Adult Soccer League and we're pretty badass. I also take photos! I love photography and I'm currently internting at a photography studio in Kansas City. I also like to totally geek-out and play video games, read some comic books and watch horror movies. I'm basically a 15-year-old boy's wet dream.
Ideal first date: My ideal first date can basically be summed up in two words: not awkward. Beyond not being awkward, it's really cool when a first date is something completely unexpected, like laser tag or roller skating.
Ideal characteristics in partner: The ability to grow a beard and being tall. I'm six foot tall, so finding someone that is as tall or taller than me is pretty awesome. The ability to grow a beard goes back to the whole lumberjack thing. Confidence is always hot, but being cocky or arrogant is not. Humor is extremely important. I like it when boys can laugh at themselves, because more than likely, I'm also going to laugh at them.
Turn on first statement: "I love George's Pizza." They can't just say it of course, they have to truly love George's Pizza (it's in Overland Park at 95th and Antioch). I think it's the best pizza in the world and I've been eating there since I was in the womb (ask my mom). Actually, I might marry a guy if he said that line and brought me a hamburger pizza with provel cheese.
Worst date: There are a lot to choose from, there has been a (sort of) dine and dash, dates that I didn't realize were dates, etc. However, I think that the best worst date would have to be junior year prom. I went with someone because they caught me off guard when they asked me. It was horribly awkward all night. He literally wouldn't give me any breathing room (he waited outside the bathroom door for me), and then asked me to be his girlfriend at the end of the night. It caught me so off guard that I laughed in his face. It was bad.
Best date: I don't think I've had it yet.
Type: My "type" is awesome. I know it's really cliché to say that you want the cool, nice guy, but that's really what every girl wants. The bad boy is nice for a crush or a few dates, but that's really all he's good for.
Interests: Photography pretty much consumes my life, but, beyond that, French, really bad movies, weird music and soccer.
Favorite quote: "I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end."
— Draw Barremore
Notices first in a potential partner: The first thing I notice on a guy is his jawline. Kind of odd, but a strong jawline is very attractive.
Getaway Paris. It's my goal to have a movie-style kiss under the Eiffel Tower.
