| 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. |

How SUPERCALIFRAGI-WHATEVER IS THAT??????!!!!!!! HUH??????!!!!!!!!
We just keep on building steam, steam, and more steam!!!
This is ENTIRELY due to the relentless efforts of THE BEST PUBLICIST I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, THE ONE AND ONLY...
MS. GILDA SQUIRE
...our miracle-working PR person on TEAM AMISTAD. Gilda, girl, there aren't enough words to tell you how much we love you. You are putting it DOWN for us. You're the P. DIDDY OF PUBLICITY.
The article is called "Online book videos bring words to life." Damn right they do. And TEAM AMISTAD was the first to do it, and, luckily for us, UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP was generous enough to let us have this ROCK STAR OF A SINGER---SILENA MURRELL---to help us do it.
 If you get the actual paper, the article is on page 11B (Section B is the Money/Life section).
But you know me...I've already got a visual of it for you right here (and the link to the article online):

Again, special thanks to Sylvia Rhone and product manager Tatia Fox at Universal/Motown for saying yes when we asked to use the music. We didn't just get a fantastic, banging song out of this. I got a new family member, because Silena has truly become my sister. We all love her. And she's going to blow you away when you hear her in her full entirety (the single, I Like My Man Hard will be hitting the airwaves officially in March, and the album, "Up Close and Personal" will be out this year).

wow, lo...you, silena, gilda and team amistad are changin' the game.
i'm passin' the wurd around!
have you guys thought about doing MOVIE TRAILERS also?
easy to do and with your "already" connections with UNIVERSAL the transition shouldn't take much. just synergy on an existing product.

Lolita is one of the most generous people I know when it comes to lifting up others and their talents. With that in mind I was like, "yeah, sure" when she was talking about hot this new singer, Silena Murrell, was.
Well, I saw them tonight at Borders in DC (Largo, MD - actually) and I must tell you I don't know where Silena has been hiding but look out, this girl can sing. She has an unbelievable range and she was hitting notes like it wasn't nothing to it. She's pretty, humble and grounded too which makes for a awesome combination. I am sure we will be hearing great things from her.
Now for Sex. Lies. Murder. Fames. Lady Lo can throw down and I can't wait to dive into this one.
Much love from DC and both of you ladies are the "shyt."
Much Love,
Juan
P.S. Kris (my 16 year old) hasn't stopped talking about Silena since we left.
