Mandy Kaybee (Interview)

 Name: Mandy Kaybee
Nickname: Way too many! People just come up with weird ones like Mandooks or Mandizzle, and they just kind of stick haha.
Favorite quote:

“Be patient and strong, one day this pain will be useful to you”

“A tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep”

Your sense of style?
I would say my style is more Rocker Chic mixed with a bit of anything else that catches my attention (and other’s attention too)! I definitely love the black leather jackets, spikes, high heels, studded leggings/jeans and crazy earrings! Accessory wise, I don’t like to wear too much. As I mentioned before I like the crazy earrings and, depending on how I feel I may add a giant ring on one hand.
Brand freak or street smart?
I have never been one to be interested, so to speak, in brand names. When I go shopping, I really don’t care what store I am in, whether it be name brand or not, but if something catches my eye, that’s what I would end up buying. I guess it’s my mother’s doing. She always told me as a kid, “It doesn’t matter where you purchase your clothes so long as you like it and it looks damn good on you”!
