| 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. |

Y'all know how I get.
If fried chicken was sex, I'd be a whore. A chicken whore.
I'm just sayin'.

I only wish I could cook like that.

There are worse things than being a 'chicken whore.' Eat up, Lo!
-
Yeah, a chicken ho is better than a straight up ho. Get your eat on girl, you excercise enough to indulge in some chicken every now and then.
-
Exactly, Rich. I don't let my trainer kick my ass three times every week for nothing! I want to be able to eat what I want, when I want. That's basically the only reason I exercise. Actually, fried chicken sounds kind of good right now...
-
Okay Lo...where ya been? Roscoe's or M&Ms? There was another place back home that you mentioned. I can't remember the name, however, if you share...I'll be there when I get back to Cali!!
Yummo!!

Sheletha, since you have all that time on your hands in North Cackalacky, maybe you should pick up some cook books. Southern men LOVE good cooking! I should know, I'm from the south and my new found girth proves it.

I've been craving some fried catfish with hushpuppies and cole slaw. Cold beer. Where in LA can a guy go for that kinda meal?
-
Monique:: The place I mentioned a long while ago (and Matt has mentioned it too) is L'Kesh Cafe in Sherman Oaks. I actually have them as a permanent link in the Links section on the left sidebar of The Lo Zone main page.
Matt: You can hit Stevie's Creole Cafe & Bar on Ventura in Encino (click this link to find out more: Stevie's), or you can make the trek to Chatsworth and hit Les Sisters (<===click the link for more info), which also has excellent fried chicken. Stevie's catfish is hella good, and they have crab legs and fried shrimp and all manner of goodies. Both spots are great. Les Sisters looks like a hole in the wall, but it is ridiculously delicious. Stevie's, on the other hand, is a big, spacious restaurant on the boulevard that has jazz and comedy performances on certain nights.

Lo works for mapquest on the side.

By the way, the plate of fried chicken in the top photo (with the greens, rice, peas, and cornbread) is from Les Sisters in Chatsworth (here in the San Fernando Valley).

Ar-ar-ar-ar-ar, Rich!!

Lo,
Alrighty then. I am hosting a dinner party for my ex (she's a libra as is my grandson both born on 10/16). The menu is definitely suthern. Fried chicken, ham, chitlins, potato salad, collard greens, mac & cheese, candied sweet potatoes, peach cobbler, lemon pound cake, sweet potato cake (I'll have to fedex you one), sweet tea, lemon aide, cornbread and biscuits and hand-churned ice cream.
What's funny is the finest crystal, china and silver is being used. There is a wait staff and a string quartet. I think I am going to hold up in my office with a bottle of champagne because the guest list is 14 women. So if I discount the hired help, I am the only male in the place. I think me and Kris and his older brother will go to the movies and come back in time ice cream and cake.
But I started out to say, them pictures make a brother hungry.

Juan, that meal sounds like it's going to be outstanding. And you plan on leaving the house? I'd be holed up in my office with the waitstaff quietly shuttling me plates of food. Sweet potato cake? Hand-churned ice cream? This sounds so delicious, I want to cry.
I'm totally into food porn. Just talking about it sets me off.
*Sigh*
