Sheena Snively
Sheena and I at the first Consign Your Curves
I first met Sheena Snively a few years ago at the first annual Consign Your Curves event. This was our first time meeting in person, but I already knew who Sheena was. You may recognize Sheena from MTV Canada and MTV FORA. Now she’s back with her very own digital series for CBC Comedy, That’s What Sheena Said!
I got the chance to chat with the curvy comedian herself to get to know about her new show, shopping and her style.
JB: In five words, describe your personal style.
SS: Minimalist, Cheeky, Obtainable, Black & Busty
JB: Who are your fashion inspirations?
SS: Well Jessica I think it’s safe to say you are one of my fashion inspiration’s due to the fact that I own several of your hand made pieces and every time you do a clothing swap I raid your stash first! Bahaha! Otherwise I’m really loving Ashley Nell Tipton, specifically her collection for JC Penney, It’s amazing! Also there are a couple of chicks living in Hamilton, Ontario right now called #GirlsWithGunz. They are making some “off the beaten path” designs that I am really digging! Their moto is
“NO Fugazi. Which means No Fakes. Dedicated to the boss chicks, go-getters, leaders and the trendsetters; GIRLSWITHGUNZ represents a worldwide sisterhood of creative expression, fashion and style.”
I mean come on… seriously! Who doesn’t want to be a part of that! It’s like a modern day fashion online Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! Count me in!
JB: How would you describe 'That's What Sheena Said’?
SS: I love this question! Basically if Tom Green and Rebel Wilson had a one night stand and Rebel got pregnant, the baby would be “That’s What Sheena Said”! Bahaha There has been some speculation that Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim might be the biological fathers as well but we will never know. Oh shit Roseanne is the Grandma who knew! Let’s get on Maury to sort this shit out.
JB: If you could go on a shopping date with any comedian, dead or alive, who would it be?
SS: This question is a no brainer for me …Phyllis Diller! Are there women that are more fashionable then her …Yes! Are their women who are funnier than her …Yes! But she really did have a great combination of both, making her my top choice. She was a funny woman who also knew how to rock a pink feather boa, and not to a cheesy bachelorette party either. I have mad love and respect for this comedy queen, for many reasons! RIP Phyllis!
JB: What's next?
SS: I have several irons in the fire, all of which I am very excited about, some of which cannot be discussed at this time. However the thing I can chat about is I have been broadcasting live from my dressing room closet every week on Facebook. #SheenaLive is a great accompaniment to the CBC Comedy show “That’s What Sheena Said”, and it’s a perfect mix of Fashion & Funny!
Sometimes it consists, of special guests, My week in recap, and I always do a top 5 list of whatever I dam well feel like that week. My team is in talks with some amazing Plus Size fashion retailers to sponsor this new platform, so keep your eyes peeled on that, for giveaways and generally good time.
Make sure to check out Sheena for
every Wednesday at 8:30pm and
only on CBC Comedy.
