| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

Per today's Page Six:HIP-hop impresario Jermaine Dupri is shopping a book proposal to publishers this week. The Grammy-nominated producer and rapper's memoir - tentatively titled "Young, Rich and Dangerous" - will dish on working with everyone from Mariah Carey and Usher to Bow Wow and kiddie rap duo Kriss Kross. Look for Dupri's story to also dwell on his relationship with longtime girlfriend Janet Jackson. I expect the most explosive part of the book will be the cricketine Dupri's detailed reveal of the David Copperfield-esque magic trick he pulled to get Janet in the first place.

Thanx Lo for the plug. Now I have never heard of this Nick Chiles but it is very disturbing to me when WE as a people make books about men cheating on their wives with other men NY times bestsellers and WE make books about a sistah's alleged sexual exploits with hip-hop music icons the number one book in the country, but we are not suppose to write about our lives in the streets. So I guess no one should read Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Claude Brown, or even Ralph Ellison. Street Fiction is part of the Black experience. Mr. Chiles needs to get off of his IVY LEAGUE white horse and wake up. Yes some of the Street Fiction on the shelves is terribly edited, and yes some of it SUCKS but so does some mainstream fiction, erotic fiction, historical fiction etc. Someone needs to call in a specialist for Mr. Chiles, one who knows how to treat the haterism syndrome. Although it may sound like I am a defender of Street Fiction I am not. I am a defender of freedom of expression, The real African-American experience and all of it's aspects. Maybe if more of the blue-veined society-beorgouis-Z read Street Fiction than they may be able to better understand why this mentality is perpetuated and then just maybe instead of just writing a check they will be passionate enough to try and do something about the upliftment of men and women that are living that Street Life that has become popular reading. Mr. Chiles stop the HATE and if you wanna really make a change than PARTICIPATE. OOPS didn't mean to call you out.
