Lady Cole

by Travis Bruce

LaDyrian Cole, Dallas Junior, is obsessed with Hello Kitty.

She answers to Lady and sometime Hello Kitty, even though those are not her real names. Cole is a member of a coed fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, at Stephen F. Austin State University. She rushed fall 08’ and her pledge class was Wilfred M. Krenek (WMK).

Cole said, “I am completely obsessed with Hello Kitty,” and is a cartoon show that turned into fashion items. Hello Kitty is worshiped in Japan, Cole also said, “ I want to go to Japan just to take pictures with the Hello Kitty statues” Her obsession sprung from her early childhood when her grandma introduced Hello Kitty tapes and other accessories as rewards for finishing homework or chores around the house. From this her obsession grew and by the age of 18 she had Hello Kitty permanently with her in the form of a tattoo.

She said, “ I am the biggest Hello Kitty fan ever!” Her room is completely decorated in Hello Kitty, she has two build-a-bears that are Hello Kitty black and white, screen savers, blankets- all-Hello Kitty.

However, she is not only interested in Hello Kitty she also spends a lot of her time doing schoolwork, and since she is a double major in Radio TV Broadcasting and Journalism (Public Relations) that can happen.

Her hobbies include writing poetry and doing activities for her fraternity, which include building the bonfire for homecoming and doing work with the Boy Scouts of America.

Another interesting fact about Cole is she is the oldest and the youngest sibling in her family. This sounds impossible but Cole is the oldest on her mom’s side of the family having a brother who is 10 years younger. She is the youngest on her dad’s side of the family having two sisters and one brother who are older than her.

Cole resides at The Lodge on campus and has three roommates, two of whom are her best friends and the other being an outcast (sad but true.)

Cole just got out of a three-year relationship with her high school sweetheart who she started dating her junior year in high school. She went to SFA and he went to UNT and over time the long distance between them caused them to end their relationship.

Cole is not sad about this but said, is very much single and happy to be single

Upon Cole being asked if she were to compare her self to a celebrity or ask which celebrity she was most like she responded with Gabrielle Union, who is one of the head cheerleader in the movie “Bring it On” and Kimberley Elise who started in “Set it Off” and “Beloved”. She chose these two actresses because they are strong beautiful black woman who are very diverse in their characters. Cole being a beautiful strong young black woman these two actresses are very good picks.

Cole’s grey colored contacts really make her eyes jump out at you. She is five foot four inches tall with silky medium length curly back hair. Another fun fact is that without her contacts is she is legally blind and actually couldn’t drive to school without them in.

All in all Cole is a wonderful unique and interesting young woman.
