You may have heard of a little video called, "Box in A Box," the female response to Saturday Night Live's digital short about the gift that keeps giving. We unwrap Melissa Lamb, the Wharton sophomore behind the phenomenon.
Street: Were you ever worried about negative publicity due to your video?
Melissa Lamb: I didn't think there would be any publicity! But I'm a Marketing major and now the video is in the top 100 most viral videos ever. That's definitely resum‚-worthy.
Street: What's the weirdest thing that has happened because of your video?
ML: Having my godmother ask my dad "where I got my boobies from."
Street: Would you rather give a box to Justin Timberlake or Andy Samberg?
ML: Andy Samberg. I prefer funny over metro.
Street: Are you a businesswoman or a performer?
ML: By far a businesswoman - did you even see the video?
Street: In everyday conversation, would you use the term "box," or do you usually use a different slang word?
ML: I'm not a big fan of slang words.
Street: Do you consider yourself to be naturally outgoing?
ML: Contrary to popular belief, I'm pretty shy in large groups.
Street: In thirty years, what will you tell your children about all of this?
ML: Tell them? I'll be teaching them how to shake it!
