MB WEEKLY: The Faces of South Bay
Dana Richards (Malibu Dana Activewear)
Q: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE SUPERHERO?
A: Yes. Wonder Woman (obviously!). With her big heart, invisible plane, truth-telling lasso, gold cuffs, and matching tiara – she’s saving the world in style (a Malibu Dana tagline) while accessorizing like a boss. Iconic!
Q: DO YOUR PARENTS EVER EMBARRASS YOU?
A: Yes, absolutely. My dad thinks he’s a “professional dancer” (spoiler: he’s not). Whether it’s moonwalking to his own playlist or busting out moves at random, no one ever called him boring. 😉
Q: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DINOSAUR?
A: Yes. T. rex! They have those adorable little arms! How can you not love a dinosaur that’s both terrifying and adorable?
Q: DO YOU KNOW WHY THE SKY IS BLUE?
A: Yes. It’s all about perception, right? Personally, I think it’s because of all the blue butterflies fluttering up there, making ripples of hope and magic.
Q: HAVE YOU EVER LIED TO YOUR PARENTS?
A: If I said no, would that make me a liar times two. Lol!
Q: DO YOU LIKE ICE CREAM?
A: No. I prefer gelato, because butterflies are lactose intolerant. It’s science.
Q: DO YOU LIKE BROCCOLI?
A: Yes with bacon. Absolutely. Without bacon? Is that even a thing?
Q: HAVE YOU EVER WON A CONTEST?
A: Yes. Fun fact: I was a spelling bee champion growing up! Turns out I’m great at spelling, yoga, and fluttering.
Q: HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED ON A SPORTS TEAM?
A: No. There’s no “I” in team, but I made my mark as a competitive gymnast. Great for refining my high kicks.
Q: Bonus question: WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE DINNER WITH – TAYLOR SWIFT OR ELON MUSK?
A: Obviously, Tay Tay! Her style is everything – the friendship bracelets, signature red lip, and turning every moment into a lyric from a hit song. Plus, real is rare, and I love her authenticity. Imagine the stories we’d share. Meow!
