| 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. |

| Bite Me. (Part Deux) |
| Thursday, April 20, 2006 |
Today's New York Times has an article about how the more badly celebrities behave, the more wildly successful they become. It's called Being Bad: The Career Move.
 The article uses Kate Moss and her cocaine situation as an example of this:[...] a strange thing happened to Kate Moss on the way to rehab. Far from becoming a pariah or experiencing a serious fall from public grace, she developed an unexpected level of luster. The 32-year-old woman who has been the subject of controversial press since she was discovered at 14, the onetime waif, the person pilloried for allegedly promoting anorexia, the freewheeling seductress of the British tabloids, the tempestuous destroyer of hotel rooms, the confidante and bosom buddy of Anita Pallenberg and other rock chick survivors from the heyday of hard drugs, found herself bumped up a notch to the status of that most nebulous of beings, the cultural avatar. Interesting. My new book, Sex.Lies.Murder.Fame., is about this very thing. A blonde, beautiful model (writer, rapper, genius) shoots to wild stardom after being caught up in some very bad deeds.
Coincidence? I don't think so. And I wrote my book waaaaay before The Kate Incident. Looks like I even had a jump on The Gray Lady with this one.

See, you scooped the scooper. I would bet somebody over there has read your book and has made an assumption that you don't share the same readership so it's okay to steal yo shit.
Likewise, I am certain that "coincidence" with that little BBC show promo was based on someone seeing your cover. Actually, they stopped short of using the word "fame" but when you think about it that would have been appropriate as well.
I got even one better for you. There is a former president of Verizon (DC) who is running for mayor and all of a sudden her campaign signs were changed to: Different. Real. Better!
When I first saw it I said, that is short and to the point, I've never seen that done that way . . . but wait there is sex. lies. murder. fame. WTF everyone is biting off my girl Lo.
You're just a trend setter. You Go!
