The ‘Wonder Woople’ series features users who are passionate about fashion or food or both. They are the people who spot new, interesting things and love self-expression. They are our tastemakers, influencers and curators.
Meet Larissa D’Sa - A sucker for art, design and craft! Hand her a piece of paper and she’ll give you a rose. Larissa is a graphic designer and illustrator, also the founder of We Love Customade. This incredible beauty is a workaholic and loves working 24/7, but only for herself of course! Larissa also considers watching movies or television and afternoon sleeping, only wastage of time (I think my heart broke right there). Buuuuuut, then some movies allow for a double standard as she says some remarkably awesome movies do not count as a waste of time!
Larissa is currently shooting for her upcoming Youtube channel showcasing her work and DIYS for the audience. A freelance model and actor, she may look sane and smart and all that from the outside but you will never know when she could break into a sudden outburst of laughter and change your complete opinion about her.
The most interesting bit about Larissa? She finds dogs eating garbage, cute, because every dog reminds her of Tazz - her dog. She also finds black gutter rats adorable, only because her guinea pig is also a rodent. Rest assured you know that this woman is one helluva animal lover. She also loves glitter and challenges you to meet her and not spot one glitter particle somewhere on her face. Also being a tattoo artist, Larissa feels all fierce and robust automatically, she says.

"Haiiyaa!" This is one high spirited fille!
Ask her what she thinks fashion is….
"Fashion to me means color & crazy. Anything that’s standard, is so not for me. Some at college called me Lady Gaga. Then later they got used to it and called me Larissa."
Let’s see what Lady Gaga a.k.a Larissa has to say to us…
What is the craziest thing you have bought?
I’ll make that THINGS: 1. I purchased tazos (Cheetos) from a friend when I was 10 years young. I spent 21 Rs and I still regret cuz I could instead watch the circus for the second time with a friend. And still have 1 rupee left for pepsi cola.
2. Size 38 shoes. When my feet are size 40.
If you could splurge on one thing, what would it be?
If this was a fastest finger first kind of a question i would say : Travelling! I love visiting places. Maybe take a few months off and travel to wherever my private aircraft takes me.
if you ask me to be practical : GOLD! i would get a good resale and gold molars in my old age.
Which song is on loop on your iPod right now?
Frankly, i have no music in my phone, i don’t have an iPod and i’m very un-updated with what’s new in the music industry. But i hate this song “blue hain paani” and “Honey Singh”.
If you were given a choice between going Street shopping vs. Shopping at malls, which one would you pick?
Depends on what my budget is! But when it comes to shopping, i always buy what looks best on me. be it buying from the streets or malls. What’s important is “how you carry it” than “Which brand are you wearing”. For me, a brand is not important. the color, the combo and the style is.
Your favourite shopping destination?
Sawadika! Bangkok. Cheapest and trendiest. Plus they are all short, making me feel like some supermodel.
Who would you like to see most on Wooplr?
Haha myself! I would like to make some space and give in some time to upload atleast once every three days. Not as a job ofcourse, but cuz this is something I’m totally missing!
What is the most bizarre dish you have ever had?
Kacchi kairi with brick powder. That was mango pickle for me, back when I was 6 years young.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?
Teleporting! I hate travelling to Andheri.
Apple pie or Jalebi?
Jalepie
Schnappes or Breezer?
Cutting chai.
Chocolate or Vanilla?
BOTH! I hate your options !
Walking Dead or Mad Men?
I haven’t watched either but if it were literal, I would prefer Mad Men cuz I’m scared of ghosts and I love mads. Hello crazy.
Shoes or Bags?
Bagshoes.
Benedict Cumberbatch or Zac Efron?
Soft corner for Zac Efron cuz I grew up watching him play basketball on my cupboard poster <3
What are your guilty pleasures?
Unnecessary purchases and unnecessary food intake. <nom nom>
