Remember when I did a wrap up of spring market at the D and D building and I spoke of Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Mary McDonald? Refresh your memory here. Well, I was supposed to interview them and pose a couple questions. Time got away from us and many vied for their attention, so I left the questionnaire with them and just heard back. It reminds me of the column People magazine does; stars, they're just like us...
1.) People would be surprised to know that…
MM ~ I am a great traveler in 3rd world countries and I love hot dogs.
MLB~ My favorite thing to do in life is to stay home and cuddle up in front of the TV with my dog , daisy .... I travel so much that those evenings are few and far between.
2.) Where is your Happy Place?
MM~ My bed with coffee and magazines
MLB~ My happy place is most defiantly Sunday mornings in bed with a pot of earl gray tea catching up on my favorite shows like the Borgias and True blood !
3.) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
MM~ My mercurial nature
MLB~ I would love to be just a little bit taller. I'm just 6 ft but always wanted to be 6'2.... I know sounds crazy !
4.) What do you consider your greatest achievement?
MM~ Being loyal to in the face of adversity
MLB~ My whole career has been an amazing achievement considering I didn't have any training in design. I am very lucky and blessed to be doing something I adore everyday and let creativity run wild in my office. I think being presented with the Andrew Martin International designer of the year award was one of my proudest moments however !
5.) What is your guilty pleasure?
MM~ coming in the office late
MLB~ Sea salt encrusted chocolate truffles !
6.) I believe in…
MM~Karma
MLB~ I believe in the power of love and all the magic that brings with it !
I love coffee in bed, chocolate truffles, The Borgias and want to be taller also! We could totally be friends!
Thank you Martyn and Mary:Fascinating!
