FMM: Any guilty pleasures? MLP: Shopping- either for clothes, furniture/ decorations, makeup (I can spend hours at Sephora). And, I am a solo shopper; I like to take my time if I need to or rush. FMM: If you could change one thing about the world what would that be? MLP: The social media world, especially for the new generation-I feel they have less social skills, they are constantly on their phones, and they lack in the communication skills department. I think we need social media to a certain point, as it has a lot of positives, but it also has a lot of negatives. The fact that we can connect with people from all over the world is amazing, but where is our physical contact? I would try to tone it down a little. Photographer: GREG KALEN be a very good at drawing; I’ve been wanted to go back to it. Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones that make you do weird stuff! I also used to play music for many years, the flute, and I was thinking of going back to it as well. FMM: Do you miss competing or do you love training other people? MLP: I sometimes do miss competing..i mostly miss the entertainment aspect of competing. There is nothing like having all that confidence and walking on the stage and show what you got ! The preparation it takes to get there, physically and mentally is what i miss the most and feeling like a billion dollars with all that crystal, make up and hair . But unfortunately, i find that the competing scene has gone in a very political direction. And that’s the turning point for me, it makes me realize I found my happiness of stage and i don’t need to be there anymore. I would rather get my body in shape for a photoshoot then a competition. 104 || FITNESS M A G A Z I N E || JUNE 2015 || EDITION 1 www.imagezz.com Here is my email if you would like to request more info: [email protected]
