About Me |
My name is Laquasha Ervin. I like to go by Lala (fun name, I know).
A little about me:
I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. I am a city girl at heart but a lover of nature and the simplicity of the "countryside". I have an identical twin sister (my #1 fun fact). I love bunnies, independent and horror films, music (live shows and music festivals), camping out in nature, nightlife, traveling, and spicy foods. My guiltiest pleasure is terrible reality television.
Words used to describe me are:
adventurous, passionate, friendly, genuine, and reliable.
