The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
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.
This May Be A Bit Of A Stretch.

I didn't get a chance to discuss this yesterday because it was such a crazy and hectic day, but I figured I'd address it before it passed from public relevance (which, I'm sure, it already has).

Yesterday, Mariah Carey was feted by Gillette for having the best legs. The legs of a goddess.

Right. That's what I thought, too.

When I think of best legs, her name definitely isn't the first thing that comes up. Her legs are nice and all, but "best"? That's a pretty loaded word to just be randomly slangin' around.

Per Yahoo! News:
Gillette Venus (PG), a recognized authority on women's legs, [...] named Mariah Carey the first "Celebrity Legs of a Goddess." The superstar, who captured three GRAMMY® Awards for her celebrated six-times platinum album The Emancipation of Mimi, was immortalized with a 16-foot high likeness of her perfect legs. Ms. Carey unveiled the replica during a ceremony at New York's legendary Radio City Music Hall, home to some of the most famous legs in the world.

[...]

"Mariah Carey was our hands-down choice for the first Venus 'Celebrity Legs of a Goddess' title," said Peter Clay, Vice President Premium Systems, Gillette Global Grooming. "She has gorgeous legs, and she radiates the inner beauty and confidence that embodies the Venus brand."
"Hands-down"? Whut da blimey?

And they've also reportedly been insured for one billion dollars. According to what's being written in the press...

"The sum reflects her popularity."

Really? It does?

I mean, fa sho' The Emancipation of Mimi was hot to death. I still blaze it on the regular, but best legs? A billion dollars?

Okay. If they say so.

    Tina Turner has better legs than that puffy faced heffa. The album was hot though.

    I'm with Dawnya, when I think of legs, Tina Turner always comes to mind, I would even say Halle over her (remember the scene in Swordfish with her legs gaped open and she was swinging the golf club - Hmmmm). I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks she's a puffy face. She is so not cute to me.

    Mariah looks like she has walnuts tucked in her cheeks.
