| 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. |

What do you do when you feel out of place? Do you try to fit in, do you just be yourself? What do you do when you are a white candidate running against a black candidate for the top office in the US and you are in Selma, Alabama? I don't know what you would do, but I don't think pandering is the way to go. Is it me or is she being insulting with her new found accent?

Rich,
I'm with you...the faux accent is a bit much. But I think Hillary is doing whatever she thinks it will take to have the vote of the south. Is it the way to gain votes, by being "fake"? No, but whomever is running her campaign felt it would go either unnoticed or would show that she is "one of them".
It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I'm still here, in the cut!

she is in need of the three S's... a Speechwriter, a Stylist, and Someone to slap her ass silly.
-
Wasn't she originally PWT from Arkansas, anyway? Maybe it wasn't such a stretch. LOL!
-
i didn't see the obama/hillary oratorial showdown, i'm sho' obama won hands down. hillary clinton in selma is like a white person visiting a black family reunion and claming to be family.
....and of course, john edwards is like monique, layin' back up in the cut... ;-P
that's the cat everyone should look out for.
-
John Edwards is stalking, you better believe that.

Obama sounded more like a preacher than a politician. I think I heard someone say "amen!"
-
wasn't offended at all. I actually heard the James Cleveland hymn and she pretty said it the way he did. I thought it would be funnier to see the white lady version of the lyrics. it would be political death but great for every def jam comic. that would have shown more of a disconnection than anything else. I mean they are written the same in da hymnal. sho' is.

Hey Rich...what's shakin'?
'Sup Lance...Sheletha...Denea...Anonymous and everybody else up in here?
Hey Lolita, it's been a minute, but I'm still in it!

Nuthin' but love for the LoZoners!
