Mrs. Illinois International®

Monica Mattson

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
My family always finds a way to make me smile, but working as a Customer Assistance Representative for American Airlines, my job REQUIRES me to smile which is a great way to stay upbeat and happy on a daily basis.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
One of our favorite date nights require our pj’s, a HUGE breakfast for dinner (Mimosa optional)and binge watching an old favorite or brand new TV series!

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
Being an avid knitter since the age of 10 and crocheter since 3, my favorite way to relax is to plop down on the couch with my needles or a hook, some amazing new yarn and design some new creations! There will also be either a scary Lifetime movie or Hallmark love story playing in the background. (We really do leave the house sometimes).

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
My style would best be described as “individualistic”. Basically... I wear what I like! It doesn’t matter to me if it was in the fashion magazines last week, last month or last year (or more). If I like it and it makes me feel confident, it stays in my closet!
