Lauren Venhaus

Would you rather be given a crown or a sword at a coronation?

Crown.

Do you think you are more damsel in distress or epic heroine?

Epic Heroine but not because I think I’m some hero, I just don’t need anyone to save me.

If you were crowned ruler, what is the first royal decree you would make?

Everyone to be treated equally.

If you could build your castle in any place (real or fictional), where would it be and why?

A countryside in France so that I could be in a beautiful place but still be able to be secluded when I don’t want to be around people.

Cinderella had her fairy godmother, Rapunzel had Pascal, Snow had her seven dwarves, Jasmine had Rajah. Who would be your royal sidekick?

My cat Ash.

The court musicians are playing your song. What is it?

National Anthem by Lana Del Rey.

Every ruler has a motto. What’s yours?

You have the power to make life whatever you want it.

All fairy tales end with a happy ending. What do you hope for yours?

I hope to be very well-traveled with enough money to buy a house on the beach with a wrap-around porch, preferably somewhere in Europe. I’ll have a greenhouse and a cat and maybe start my own community farm somewhere in the countryside for people who love traveling and want an opportunity to work abroad. I’ll be the cute old lady host who makes them food.
