| 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. |

| Sex.Lies.Murder.Fame.: The Soundtrack, Part 2 |
| Friday, January 27, 2006 |
They're here!!! They're here!!! The Sex.Lies.Murder.Fame. soundtracks are here!!!
Ain't they purty?!! This is the front:

And this is the back:

It's the perfect accompaniment to my oh-so-entertaining novel...
The soundtrack---produced by the PHENOMENAL Al "Butter" McLean of Cedar Park Entertainment---has pop, R&B, and hip-hop (including, of course, the Scott Storch-produced killer lead single, I Like My Man Hard, by the spectacular Silena Murrell)...
 ...plus two audio excerpts from the book, read by the delicious, deeply-reflective, super-saavy, multi-talented actor/writer/producer, a man I'm proud to call my very good friend...Mel Jackson.
 So we've gotta celebrate this, people. I want you guys to share in the magic that is this wonderful, wonderful piece of cross-marketing goodness. To that end, I'll be giving away twenty soundtracks on this blog over the next two weeks, but I plan to do it in the form of contests of sorts. Whatever strikes my fairly-retarded fancy. I'll try to make it fun and (sorta) simple for you to win. Something to get the camaraderie going up in this spot and coax the readers who hang out anonymously in the background to step forth to be momentarily seen and/or heard.
Okay, here's our first contest. I think it'll be quite a hoot. It's called:
"I Can Lie Just Like James Frey"
 Here are the rules: The most moving, funny, or powerful personal experiences (outrageously fictitious, of course), no more than 200 words, e-mailed to me at thelozone@lolitafiles.com (NOT in the "comments" section on this blog) will receive an autographed copy of the soundtrack (signed by both me and Mel Jackson). I'll be giving away five cds this go 'round (then I'll do a different, goofier contest), so step forward people. Oh, and I'll do a post of those five winning fictitious personal experiences on this blog. So don't be shy. What's there to be timid about? It's not like it'll be the truth.
C'mon, flex the liar in you!! The world is full of fabulists, why shouldn't you get in on the fun? Who knows, maybe some literary agent or publishing exec is out there in cyberspace anonymously reading my blog, just like you (trust me, they are). He or she might notice your sensational little fairy tale and suddenly see dollar signs. Next thing you know, you've got a book deal and your own media-storm of attention. You too can be the next James Frey!!!
Hey, don't knock it...that bastard's RICH.
