| 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. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| 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. 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, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Did Y'all See 'The Barprah'? (It's Barbie!!! It's Oprah!!!) |
| Tuesday, February 28, 2006 |
I know I'm supposed to be putting up more highlights from the book tour, and I will, this is just a brief interruption. I just had to find out if you guys caught yesterday's Oprah.
She had the woman whom the Barbie doll was named after as a guest on the show, and the woman presented O with her very own black Barbie doll!!!
 As you can see, Oprah was pretty excited about it. 
 The doll was still considered a "Barbie," but that just didn't seem right, so I've named it "Barprah." If you hear the doll referred to that way in the future, know that whoever's calling it that bit it from me. But I digress...
Look at how mesmerized O is over her doll...  Like that Barbie lady was actually going to come on the show and not have an Oprah-influenced Barbie when she showed up. As if.
 You know the second her people got the call for her to appear on the show, they commenced to scrambling and mocking up dolls.
 I'll bet they've got at least a hundred different Barprah prototypes in a Mattel warehouse somewhere---a bevy of ill-conceived misses until they finally hit on the right look with this red-dressed, teensy-waisted, glamorous Barprah...
 ...with her itsy-bitsy bling bag.
Barprah and her red dress were based on the gown Oprah wore to her Legends Ball.
I can't wait for the day they present me with a Barlita. Hey, a girl can dream.
(Although, with a name like Barlita, my doll will probably come with a crack pipe and a brown paper bag with a bottle of Hpnotiq stuffed inside. Natch.)
