Out of the Pink Sky: Interview with Miss Megan Mac, Unveiling the Essence of Silk

Who are you and why should we care?

I'm Megan Coyan of Miss Megan Mac, and I'm a textile designer who specializes in woven fabrics. But as shown with my shop, I love to paint and dye scarves also. You should care because I put a lot of love into my fabrics, choosing colors and fibers, enfusing them with good energy as well as good design.

How do you plan to take over the world with your creations?

I will enshroud everyone in my beautiful soft, lush fabrics, lulling them into a sense of peace and euphoria. By the time anyone realizes what has happened, it will be too late. The world shall be mine. (But if that fails, Plan B involves duct tape and a giant pinata.)

If you had to be on one reality TV show, which one would it be and why?

It should be Project Runway, as I first intended to study fashion design in school before the textile bug hit me, but truly, I want to be a guest judge on America's Next Top Model and sit next to Miss Jay.

Describe one of your prized possessions.

That's not a fair question to ask a pack rat. Actually, it's pretty easy. It's my weaving loom. I was a weaver without a loom for many years, which is like walking around missing a body part. But ever since Maybelle (the loom) arrived, I feel centered, complete.

Taking the characteristics of different animals, describe your ideal hybrid pet. What would you name it?
I'll be honest. I'm not really a pet person. I love animals, but I'm more of a plant person. I love my garden and the trees in my yard. Sure, they don't really cuddle with you, but trees sure do make for good hugging!

Answer the following statements, for each category, in such a way that it expresses the diversity of your tastes: This one's tough....

a. Music: I like The Ramones and Bauhaus, but I also like Ella Fitzgerald and Mozart.

b. Movies: I like Whale Rider, but I also like Times Square.

c. Food: I like fresh, homegrown vegetables, but I also like anything beer-battered and fried. (I'd gnaw on a shoelace if it was beer-battered.

How soon is now?

You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human, and I need to be loved just like every else does.
