GettingtoknowYOU2 Getting to know you

It’s a beautiful Sunday and I couldnt ask for anything better. Sundays to me always reminds me of starting over for some reason. It’s like you get another try at things. It’s time for Getting to know you, Keely is on vacay, so I helped come up with a couple of questions over at Mannland5. Here we go!

1. If you had to choose a country to live in besides USA (or the country you live in), which would it be?

favorites 217x300 Getting to know you

If I had to choose a country to live in besides the USA ofcourse it would be Paris,France. I don’t know how long I would last over there but it has always been my dream to visit there. I took French for 6yrs and I am so rusty lol. I love how it looks there and all the great vintage fashions and pastries lol.


2. Which would be worse, wearing flip flops in the snow or wearing gloves in the summer?

I don’t think either would be so bad, I’m very cold natured, so wearing gloves in the summer wouldn’t be so bad to me.  I’ve done the flip flops in the winter time, I grew up in Ohio lol.


3. Fried or Bake and why? I bake everything at home, but when I go out to eat, it’s either or. I prefer baked but there is nothing like fried chicken lol.

4. If you were an entertainment reporter, which celeb would you love to interview and why?

final diane s 260x300 260x300 Getting to know you

Hell I’ve interviewed just about everybody, let’s see here. I guess it would be Diane Sawyer. I love her style and how she interviews.

betsey johnson 200x300 Getting to know you

A close second would be Betsey Johnson, I’ve never met or interviewed her. She looks like she is so much fun, I’m a huge fan of all of her things!


5. What was your favorite book as a preteen/teenager? When I was a teenager the craze was all Judy Blume books, I love to read, still till this day.


6. List your top 3 guilty pleasure television shows. Well if you follow me on twitter, I’m a reality junkie! I love all the Housewives shows, Toddlers and Tiaras and my new crack is Hell’s Kitchen.

7. What bumper sticker slogan best describes you/your attitude/your life? “Shop till you drop”, hey it speaks for itself. I love to shop it’s therapy for me lol.


8. If you were to join a circus – what performer would you be?

88018958 300x225 Getting to know you

I would love to be a clown! People always tell me I’m funny, so I think that would be a hoot! I would have pink poofy pigtails with bows, tutu and matching shoes and a purse, ha! I already got my outfit picked out, where do I sign up?

Real Men Cook was back to cook up some great recipes and let the public taste their favorite cuisines! I was a celeb taster again this year and It was so fun trying out all the different caterers and chefs special dishes. A lot of dads were out with their families and I must say it was packed! They started the event with traditional african dance and drums,then some sounds of jazz and singing. I missed Rueben Studdard because I had to get to another event.
