| 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. 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. |

| Sex.Lies.Murder.Fame. In Page Six This Weekend!!! |
| Monday, February 13, 2006 |
 [click image to enlarge]CELEBRITIES know how to get their names boldfaced on Page Six: Do something stupid. But novelists have their own means of getting their books in the column: They refer to Page Six in their writing, repeatedly. In "Fabulosity" by fiercely fabulous Kimora Lee Simmons, the thin-skinned Baby Phat designer pretends she doesn't mind bad press. "For your name to be a bold-faced headline - come on!" she writes. Then, in an obvious reference to us, she says, "It says something about your status! It says something that your name would be bigger than the writer's name or bigger than the column's name on the top of the page above all the other gossiped-about people." OK. In "Sex. Lies. Murder. Fame." - a new mystery by Lolita Files - Page Six is mentioned no fewer than 10 times. The campy rip-off of "All About Eve" - featuring an immoral writer-model-rapper and the publishing upstart he leeches onto - says: "Page Six had been quiet, oblivious to everything, missing the hotbed of action right under its omnipotent nose." And ". . . not as long as there was a Page Six, whose faceless, ubiquitous spies were legion." Thanks. While my book is neither a mystery nor a rip-off of All About Eve, it does mention Page Six several times because of situations that the characters keep getting themselves into. We're thrilled at being included in their column. It makes the whole thing so very...meta. Life imitating art imitating life. Or something like that.
