What do you do when you're not blogging? What is your job?

Laura: I'm a translator: I write subtitles for television in English, Dutch and Swedish. It's a great job, I work from home so it's perfect to combine with blogging.

How did you come up with your blog name?

Laura: I stole it from a Sonic Youth song. I was gonna start a blog but I didn't know what to name it, so I went on iTunes and put my playlist on shuffle. The World Looks Red was the first song that came up, and I thought it was an ok title.

What is your nerdiest hobby?

Laura: I'm a huge Youtube nerd. I can sit for hours and watch loads of interviews, cat videos, documentaries and then forward the best ones to my friends. Or call them and go: "Check out this kitty, it goes omnomnom when it eats! AND IT'S SO FLUFFY!". It's getting a bit embarrassing.

3 fun facts about you:

Laura: # Every blog-reader I meet just goes: I thought you were tall! # I'm an occasional carnivore. I mostly eat vegan but I choose not to restrict myself. I think a lot of people could help by doing this, cause going completely vegan or veggie is a big step for most people. # I love Jim Henson films.

What are you currently grooving to?

Laura: The new Bon Iver album is absolutely brilliant. I'm also playing a lot of The Cure cause I'm in the middle of home renovations and painting and cleaning is a lot more fun when singing along to The Cure.

Favorite item of clothing in your closet:

Laura: I found a really pretty vintage light blue dress recently. It's super simple but I love the shape and the color.

In your opinion, every woman should own:

Laura: clothes that make them feel beautiful.

What 5 items do you always have in your purse?

Laura: Wallet, keys, lipbalm, mascara and one of those tiny hairbrush/mirror combo's.

Favorite beauty product of all time? Why?

Laura: Water. I don't use many beauty products cause I'm so bad at building up a routine of cleansing and moisturizing and all that, but I really notice my skin looks great when I drink a lot of water. If I have to name a product I'd say vitamin E oil. That stuff is good for everything.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

Laura: Unhealthy food. All unhealthy things are my favorites. Bread, pizza, anything deep-fried, mayonnaise... Everyone keeps warning me that at some point my metabolism WILL slow down and I'll get really really fat if I keep eating like this. Might as well enjoy it while I still can, then.

When I want to look sexy, I put on...

Laura: I just try to look pretty and I want to feel confident and comfortable in what I wear. I think that makes a person sexy. I think the right boys are more attracted to a fun, goofball girl who's wearing something cute, than the 'hot girl' in high heels who's trying so hard to be seductive.

When I want to look cute, I put on...

Laura: a pretty dress, pink blush and a couple of layers of mascara.
