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.

Snubbed but Loved

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may not think Dreamgirls deserves an Oscar for Best Picture, although it did receive eight other nominations, but I sure do. I simply loved the movie, and that's saying a lot for someone who isn't a fan of musicals. In fact, I usually prefer to roll right on by the music and opt for the dramitazation, but that was definitely not the case with Dreamgirls. The all-star cast, the love, the emotion, and the music made for such a great cinematic experience.

It's a movie I would whole-heartedly recommend.
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and catch it before it leaves theaters.

Here is some behind the scenes footage.
Enjoy!

I hate they didn't get nominated for best picture too. I hope Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy win the awards in their categories. I'm not sure who I want to win in the Best Actor category since both Will Smith & Forrest Whitaker are up for it.
