From an article with Little Queen Malon McGee from the Times-Picayune, 2014:
 

"Sometimes when I'm doing my homework, I just pick up a needle and start sewing," Malon said. "And then I get back to doing my homework. I have to manage the time."

Malon hopes to attend Southern or Xavier university, and continue to study music, as well as, she thinks, social work. And she also wants to keep masking.

"When I put on my suit, I feel like I'm so pretty, and I just want the whole world to see how pretty I look on Mardi Gras Day. It's like a feeling that just gets inside me and I'm ready to go out."
