Deep Thoughts : )

I found this little version of the Proust Questionnaire re-done by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte on Fashionista.com and thought it might be kind of a fun thing to do on a rainy/snowy day. Normally I would be afraid to complete the Proust Questionnaire. If you have ever read the back page of Vanity Fair, you might agree (some of those questions are tricky!) But I thought this version was kind of cute. : ) How can you not like something designed in part by Rodarte? ; )
