| 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 (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| 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. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. 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 and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

Lo, so you must have blew your "healthy eating" this weekend so you want to punish all of us today. See, that ain't right.
It's 7:30 a.m. and I am already trying to figure out where to get the best mac and cheese and collards to go with fried chicken.

Juan...you got me. I blew the bottom out of my "healthy eating" this weekend. Ate all manner of stuff. Was also at a late-night cocktail party where I gorged myself on, among other things, an extraordinary hunk of homemade German chocolate cake and red velvet cupcakes from "Sprinkles." Don't know about "Sprinkles" in Beverly Hills? Click this link. Oprah was handing them out on her show once. Those cupcakes are "the debil," as Bobby Boucher and Matt would say.
Sorry, Sheletha...I'm not going down alone. Enjoy the chicken you eat today!!

check'd into that sprinkles link and it reminds me of the beginning of the starbucks franchise and the humble beginnings of the fragrance designer, carol's daughter.

Lance, thanks for the De Niro quote. I was having a self-doubting day and that was what I needed to see. Thanks, man.

I just finished licking the LCD representation of that beautiful chicken with the green beans. How awesome does that look? And then you mention mac and cheese? This sounds like a deadly sin. Hey, I never claimed to be sin-free. Bring on the fried drumsticks and Louisiana hot sauce!! I think I'm going to L'Kesh this weekend now, for sure.
