Friday Five: Risi-Leanne Baranja
Friday, September 3, 2010 at 10:00AM
We're kicking off our new Friday Five feature with Risi-Leanne Baranja of Palacinka Beauty Blog. Take it away Risi-Leanne!
1. Who's your favorite blogger/your favorite blog?
The Fashion Bomb
2. If you could be a guest blogger on any blog, what would that blog be?
Clutch Magazine. If not them, then I would say the Young, Black and Fabulous.
3. What Black Weblog Awards category are you most excited to see the winner of?
Best Fashion or Beauty Blog
4. How did you come up with the name of your blog?
Palacinka (pal-a-CHINK-uh) is actually the word for "crepe" in Eastern Europe, but my husband (who is from there) has a nephew that uses the word as a slang term for "a pretty girl". I thought it was so cute, that even if you didn't know the meaning (a sweet delictable treat or pretty girl), it still sounds pretty – and it's a very unique name for a beauty blog.
5. Who did you look up to when you first started blogging?
I looked towards bloggers in many different categories, like Tia Williams from Shake Your Beauty and Natasha of Young, Black and Fabulous, to Holly Becker of the decor8blog and the infamous Perez Hilton!
