How important do you think it is to look good?

S You have to look in a way that you feel good about yourself. It's important to have a sense of personality in how you present yourself to the world. That said, I would list it in the turn off column for a lady to put too much stock into the way she looks. It's important, but there should be things that are more important about you.

A Good is relative to how you feel. If you feel good, you look good and it's essential to a good life to feel your best every day.

W It depends on the situation, but in general it's very important. I think a person's entire personality is evident in what they wear.

Give us some general style advice:

S I always love looks that pair things that are a little bit contrasting: really nice slacks and a vintage t-shirt, or an amazing dress with really casual flats. Simple outfit, over the top jewelry. Love it.

A Keep a nice array of things in whatever color someone once said looked good on you. Patterns are always fun, too. Be girly when you want to or even more butch than usual... there's an attitude to every outfit so diversify your moods.

W Try to keep it simple and classy, always dress as though you expect to meet your idol. But also, your clothes should complement your personality; not the other way around. Be sure of yourself. If you're confident, you could pull off a paper sack.

What should be in every wardrobe?

S Never underestimate the power of a white v-neck t-shirt. You can dress them up or down, and they are almost always the perfect thing to wear with those pants that don't match anything else.

A A pair of skinny jeans.

W A good pair of jeans, a pair of black heels, and a basic black dress.

And what should be burnt/ never even bought in the first place?

S I hate those ENORMOUS sun glasses that people wear all the time. If they're bigger than the ones Jackie-O wore, they're too big. And you don't need to wear them unless it's sunny... even if you're an Olsen twin.

A Leopard print tights.

W Crocs, Tevas, and any jewelry that involves Xena [Warrior Princess]

What do you think should be in every make-up bag?

S Fake eyelashes! No, that's too much, but it would be fun, wouldn't it? I'm gunna go basic and say some really awesome chapstick. The best look is one that starts with a healthy foundation, so I always try to keep my lips moist. Ech. I just said moist.

A Mascara and a little powder.

W I think the cliched answer to this is 'lipstick'. My answer: lipstick.

Mighty Little's website is http://mightylittle.wordpress.com/. The company is based in NY, but plans to tour next year, bringing a show to the Edinburgh Festival. In the meantime, New Yorkers, or anyone visiting the city, should make a point of seeing one of their endlessly creative productions.
