The Mansion Girls – Morgan Wilhide
Shock Mansion: G’day Morgan, thanks for taking some time out to answer some questions at the Mansion 
Morgan Wilhide: Thanks for asking them!
Shock Mansion: So for the people out there who don’t know who or what Morgan Wilhide is all about, can you fill us in?
Morgan Wilhide: I’m simply a girl living her dream who enjoys traveling, cool people, hockey, and snowboarding.
Shock Mansion: Nice! How long have you been, as you say, a Professional Shredder?
Morgan Wilhide: I’ve been snowboarding since I was 5 but didn’t decide to go pro till about 2 years ago. I was comfortable with the way my life was, and it was a pretty big commitment. But here I am, snowboarding for a living.
Shock Mansion: What’s the most money you’ve spent on clothes?
Morgan Wilhide: I spent $200 on a hockey jersey. Does that count as clothing? Haha.
Shock Mansion: Yep that counts for sure! When was the last time you drove well over the speed limit?
Morgan Wilhide: Today. I rarely drive the traditional 5-10 mph above. I think my car hit 108 today. We were goofing off. Luckily no cops noticed haha.
Shock Mansion: We’ve got the hook ups to bail you out don’t worry. A friend of a friend of ours has a neighbor that once met a guy who had spoken to a cop. So we are basically cops ourselves 
What are you most likely to be seen drinking at the bar?
Morgan Wilhide: I’m a beer drinker.
Shock Mansion: Rad…make that two! What’s your hangover cure?
Morgan Wilhide: Depends. Sometimes I spend the whole next day, eating, sleeping, and eating again. Other times I’ll drink a lot of water. And if I can get away with it (meaning my schedule allows for it), I’ll just drink again haha.
Shock Mansion: Ever broken any bones?
Morgan Wilhide: Many. My toe, left ring finger, collar bone, ribs, etc. I’ve also torn up both of my knees; have dislocated my shoulders many a time, etc. Actually my right shoulder has been hurt enough that they decided to put 2 plates and 5 screws in it. It’s kind of crazy and kind of cool all at the same time. Makes going through airport security a hassle though haha.
Shock Mansion: Ouch dude that’s pretty gnarly…speaking of shoulders/arms. You have got some amazing art work, what are some of your favorites and do you have any future plans to get under the needle again?
Morgan Wilhide: Thanks! I like all the work that I’ve had done, but my favorite probably are the traditional roses on the outside of my arm. My grandfather was all about his rose bush, and he was the person I was closest with growing up. So it’s all for him. As for future plans, I’ve actually recently promised my friend Myke Chambers (eternallyboundtattoo.com) that he could do my right arm. I’ve been debating on whether or not to get a back piece done. I’m pretty open to cool tattoo ideas. If you’re an awesome tattoo artist, and like to do large scale pieces, and don’t need me to help in any decision making of the tattoo design, I’m down to work with you.
Shock Mansion: I can draw animals using the food on my dinner plate…does that count? I’ll hook you up with a bean and carrot shaped elephant tattoo If you could fill a swimming pool with anything in the world, and swim in it, what would it be and why?
Morgan Wilhide: Shamu. No doubt in my mind haha. I know that animals shouldn’t be kept in places that aren’t their natural habitats, but I love Shamu to death haha. I’ve wanted to swim with him since I was little and plan on ultimately owning Seaworld. So if you ever need a job down the road, I’ll need help maintaining Seaworld!
Shock Mansion: Really! Because I’ve been working this shitty job purely to kill time until a position in Seaworld pops up! This is so rad, the penguin that is chained up lives in my bathroom will be super stoked to swim in a larger enclosure, the bath tub just doesnt cut it these days. Ok, so you’re a gorgeous looking girl, what’s the secret for those guys or even girls out there trying to get themselves a hottie like yourself? What do you suggest I do they try doing to pick you up?
Morgan Wilhide: Well for one thing, I’m flattered! Um, I’m not really sure there is some universal secret. Every person in the world has a different thing that makes them tick. If a dude’s trying to date me, I think the best thing he can do is not expect anything of me. Nothing happens over night. I’m not saying that I expect him to conform to me, but if I want to change my bad habits because I dig the dude, then I will.
Shock Mansion: Well said. Have you traveled much overseas? If so where is the most exciting place you have been?
Morgan Wilhide: I’ve been traveling overseas since I was in 3rd grade. I was fortunate to have parents who gave me the opportunity to travel. Probably the most exciting place was New Zealand. Gorgeous mountains, mellow people, and all that jazz. My favorite place to go is probably Ireland. The drinking and nightlife can be exciting, but the landscapes alone make you really want to be there.
Shock Mansion: Have you ever been to Australia? We make a wild bunch of tour guides, you down?
Morgan Wilhide: I haven’t gotten the chance to make it down to Australia yet, but that’s where I’d like to hit up next. I’d totally be down to have you guys show me around!
Shock Mansion: Awesome…book it in! What has been your worst job?
Morgan Wilhide: Starbucks probably. You’re making shit money, dealing with a lot of grumpy/demanding people, etc. But I dug my co-workers, so it was all good.
Shock Mansion: If you were homeless, what would your cardboard sign have written on it?
Morgan Wilhide: Haha! This is such a great question! I would have a sign that would say “I bet you $1 that you read this sign.” One night at like 2am, my friend Dan and I were driving around Baltimore city. He wanted to show me this food place or something and couldn’t remember exactly where it is, so we drove in circles. At this one intersection, there was this homeless guy, and he had a sign. Now the first 2 times we passed him, we just kind of avoided him because sometimes people aren’t actually homeless (and it was 2am, and it was a little sketchy out). But the third time we passed by him, we were sitting at the light, and I was squinting to read his sign. He came up and stood in front of the car so I could read it, and it said, “I bet you $1 that you read this sign.” And we both laughed, and gave him whatever money we could find haha. I’m pretty sure it ended up being like $5 in change. I wish I knew his name. Note to you if you’re ever homeless: Make me laugh, and I will give you money every time.
Shock Mansion: Mental note: Study stand up comedy, live on street, find Morgan, hang around her, make her laugh, get paid, repeat process x1000, retire rich baby! Its fool proof
Can you fill us in on any future projects/work you have on the horizon?
Morgan Wilhide: Well, if you get to know me, you’ll quickly find that I NEVER plan. I don’t keep track of anything (schedule wise). Currently, I’m hanging out in Camarillo, CA. When it snows, I’ll be back in Colorado. I just kind of go with the flow of life. Next year, that’s going to change though. I’m joining the Peace Corps. I’ve always wanted to, and I have finally found the time to, so I’m stoked.
Shock Mansion: Wow props to that. Thank you so much for your time! Any last shout outs?
Morgan Wilhide: Um My mom maybe? Haha Thanks to Shock Mansion for the interview. It’s been rad. I hope to see you on the slopes this season!

She most definitely seems to be the definition of “radness!”
