Tough ten interview with promising blogger Rebecca Kate Boggiano

1. Tell us your name and something about yourself.

My name is Rebecca Kate Boggiano and besides blogging I am also a promotional model from Adelaide and I’m currently studying to be a Primary teacher.

2. Give us a brief description of what your blog is all about and tell us what makes your blog unique from other blogs out there.

My blog (http://rebeccaboggiano.tumblr.com/) is simply about my life’s adventures; it’s about what I am feeling at the moment and my inspirations in life. It is unique from other blogs because I post about my own life and certain things that are important to me. I try to make it interesting to follow as well as interactive by posting as many photos as I can.

3. Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Never trying is definitely worse in a huge way! At least if you fail you have the pride of knowing that you tried and made an effort whereas if you never try you will never know and always wonder in the back of your mind what could have been. You will get nowhere in life if you do not bother to try things.

4. Is there an idea or subject that you feel obsessed by or curious about at the moment?

I am not really obsessed with any certain subjects at the moment, but recently I have been curious about the meaning of dreams. I’ve been having some very vivid and realistic dreams and I just want to find out what they could actually mean, I want to know if my subconscious may be trying to tell me something through my dreams.

5. What has been you biggest challenge so far?

Life in general is always a challenge- you just have to make the best of what you have. I recently travelled to the United States for 3 weeks all by myself and that was a big challenge for me! It was a great experience though and I learnt a lot out of it because I was forced to do things on my own without any guidance from anyone.

6. When is it OK to lie?

Well it’s never ok to lie, but come to think of it, there are situations where a little lie can save a lot of trouble. Not telling the truth about something major is a whole lot different to lying, but I think certain little things such as a girlfriend asking ‘does my bum look big in this?’ Well …. You are obviously not going to tell her the truth even if it’s true because you don’t want to hurt her feelings. In these types of situations, it can be ok to tell a little white lie because it’s for a good cause.

7. If you are given a chance to travel back in the past just for one day, where would you go and what would you change?

I think I would travel back to my own life to when I was younger so I could teach myself and my family things and make sure I changed certain parts of my future life. I want to make sure that the people I let into my journey of life are the ones that I really want to be part of it. It is interesting to think how one little change in the past can actually affect the whole path of my life.

8. If you were an animal, a can of soup or some other random object, which one would you be and why? Pick an answer for each category and elaborate on your answer.

This is a hard question! If I were an animal I would probably choose to either be a bird so I could fly wherever I wanted to or a shark so I could swim in the ocean without fear of anything. I find Sharks really interesting; it would be cool to be a crazy and fearsome predator for a day! And if I were something canned I would be baked beans because then I could make people fart and laugh to myself! LOL

9. If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why? Pick one man, and one woman.

I have always wanted to meet Hugh Hefner, the legend behind Playboy. I have actually travelled to the Playboy Mansion but even though the Hef was home at the time, I never got the chance to meet him, maybe one day. As for a woman I would like to one day. I’d want to like to meet Australian Model Sheridyn Fisher because she was my inspiration to start doing what I’m doing. She’s a beautiful and healthy person inside out and she’s also an advocate for animal rights – I would be honoured to have the chance to meet her.

10. What is the craziest thing you would do for love or money?

I would probably do some pretty crazy things for love, but for money I’m not sure. There are probably a lot as long as they are reasonable! Why? Any offers?

11. What was your most embarrassing moment ever?

Probably when I walked into a pole back when I was in primary school. Yes, I still remember and I hope not many other people do!

12. What is one thing you could tell us about yourself that others would be shocked to know?

I used to be a traffic controller! For quite some time my job was to be a traffic controller on the road, setting up signs/cones for roadwork’s/burst water mains etc.. I had to wear Hi Vis vest, heavy work pants and steel cap boots as part of the job. I always worked with men – I don’t think I’ve ever actually worked with another woman. People don’t usually believe me when I tell them about my stint as a traffic controller as they have some stereotype in their head that girls – especially promotional girls would not want to do such a dirty and hardworking job, but I actually loved it! Fresh air, free tan, workmen – what more could a girl ask for?? LOL
