What do you do?
Erik: I'm an artist.
Naomi: I'm a fashion blogger.
How'd you guys meet?
We both went to Columbia and one night we decided to go to a Lindstrom concert together with some friends. We ended up dancing together and kissing all night.

What are the biggest things you have in common?
We both love dancing to disco, being silly, going on long aimless walks in our neighborhood of Spanish Harlem, watching Law and Order SVU, and having a very immature sense of humor. We also both think cats are cool, except when they are in heat—like our cat Freja currently is.
What are the biggest ways in which you are different?
Naomi: Erik is more laidback. I like to have a plan.
Erik: I can do backflips. Naomi can eat cheese.
What's the most fun project/trip/collaboration that you've ever done together?
We made a series of necklaces out of neon nylon, colorful beads and wooden blocks that are on sale at our friend's store Barometer in Chinatown. They look like hair-wraps from the future.
What are the best gifts you've ever given each other?
Naomi: Last Christmas, I gave Erik a Hudson Bay blanket and bright red LL Bean union suit that both reflect his personality perfectly—classic but still totally silly.
Erik: I gave Naomi a book about flags, a purple denim jacket, and a fancy Giles & Brothers charm necklace for her birthday.
What's your favorite movie to watch together?
Suspiria by Dario Argento and High School Music 3—we love Zac Efron!
Naomi, What's one of the things that you love that drives Erik crazy?
Erik always makes fun of me for taking baths and buying fancy face creams—he teases me for being girly, but I know he loves doing at-home-facials with me.
Erik, what's one of the things that you love that drives Naomi crazy?
Instead of checking out girls on the street I check out bicycles.
What's the funniest thing that's ever happened to you together?
When we went to Martha's Vineyard this summer, we were out biking and got stuck in a rainstorm. We thought that the rain would just pass, so instead of biking any further, we buried ourselves in the sand to keep warm—what we thought was a brilliant "Man Vs. Wild" move. It didn't work. The storm lasted hours, so we end up roaming the streets sandy and soaking wet. Luckily, a very nice lady spotted us and let us shower in her house and drink tea until the next bus arrived.
If you could ditch your current lives and take off to do whatever you wanted, what would that be?
Erik: I would move to China.
Naomi: I would move to Chinatown.
