| 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. |

| Update: Amy Winehouse. |
| Tuesday, March 27, 2007 |
I kept wondering why there were no comments on the this morning's post about Amy Winehouse...
 ...although I did receive several e-mails from you in response, pointing out your favorite Amy Winehouse tunes.
Now I see why there were no posts. My dear friend Willie D...
 ...just informed me that he wanted to leave a comment but THE COMMENT LINK WAS MISSING. DOH!!! I've just done a republish of the blog and it's still not showing up, so maybe it's a Blogger issue (shocker...not!!!). Anyway, maybe you'll be able to leave comments at this new post.
In the meantime, I figured I'd put up the video of what many of you mentioned is one of your favorites. It's a song from her 2003 debut cd, Frank...
*Yaaaaaaaaay!!! The COMMENTS link shows up!!!

Lo, I have heard her name recently. I have not heard her music. Here at work, I can watch Youtube, so when I get home I will view the video.
-
i saw that too, but i thought you just didn't want comments...and wondering how did you do that???
-
I have a digital download of her CD. I haven't listened to it yet. I'm suppposed to be doing a review on it so I plan on listening to it later this week.

Yea! F*ck Me Pumps! That song cracks me up... Whenever I hit the club I think of it. Makes me laugh at a whooooooole lotta chix!
They say I need to go to REHAB. I tell 'em NO NO NO! Amy is a great mess. I love her to death...
-
Interesting singer. I am just not feeling her. F Me Pumps was funny to me.
-
climbing from under the rock now....
this is the first time i've ever heard of amy winehouse. just like corinne bailey rae, lo you've introduced us to another gem.
interesting, i heard the soulfulness of a lauryn or nina simone in "rehab" and "some unholy war", but i didn't get that vibe in "f me pumps", though it's a funny song. i love that 60's look. the one thing about the british artist creativity is that they're not scared to go back to their roots get it right, the first time.
