This is the cutest video I’ve ever seen. She makes you laugh, and she’s a great example of a positive self image.

Marissa Sullivan is a fashion writer at the Mercury and master of her domain at Portland's Pretty. She is still waiting for someone to take her on a first date to Taco Bell.

  1. I assume she’s a girl because of her voice, her name, and when she talks about her skis she makes sure to say, “man’s skis”. Was I wrong to assume?

  2. no, not wrong to assume at all. i was just curious as to how you choose female gender. by voice, to me sounds like a boy. the name could be a boy or a girl. and either a boy or girl shell could ride on skis made from a man’s toenails.

  3. well, Jenny sounds like a girl, but when you ask her about Marcel, she refers to the character as a him. Maybe Marcel’s shell balls (shalls? shballs? bells?) just haven’t dropped yet.
