Natascha Faux


5 things you may/may not know about Natascha:
(1) One of Natascha's biggest secrets... is that she is afraid of all bugs. She even thinks that butterflies are a little bit creepy (2) Natascha loses almost every game of Words with Friends, which is impressive, because at any given time she's playing five or six people (3) Fact: Natascha does not waste any time in crocheting little hats and scarves. Afghans all the way (4) She kisses like the kind of girl you don't wanna bring home to mom (5) Natascha does not enjoy watermelon or cantaloupe or honeydew. Basically any melon that is also a compound noun or sounds like one.

what has PROJECT: PLAYLIST done for me lately?


Do you:
(1) Have a crush and want to bond over your similar tastes in music?   (2) Want to flesh out your iTunes library so people don't judge you on your exclusive 'N Sync and Nickelback collection?   (3) Want to know what the "cool kids" are listening to?
If any of the preceding items apply to you, then you need to be a part of YSA 175th's PROJECT: PLAYLIST. In each post we will feature a different ward member's playlist of toe-tappin' and head-noddin' beats.

PROJECT: PLAYLIST will soon become your one-stop location for great music, fun spotlights, and potential dates.
