Santa Claus!

TalkingWithTami: I’m so honored that you sat down and did this interview with me, wow! Tell us what a day is like being Santa?

Well Tami… Ho, Ho, Ho and Merry Christmas to you and your family. I had to stop by and see my favorite girl! You have done a very good job and you will have some great gifts under the tree! You will be my first stop tonight! I’m a very busy man ofcourse and I take each day in stride.I have to feed the reindeers, keep my sleigh in good working condition and see over a large company. All my employees work diligently to get all the toys organized so that all the kids can have a very merry christmas, it’s a long but fun process. I also do mall and parade appearances, so that keeps me extremely busy!

TalkingWithTami: How does Mrs.Claus feel about you being away from home, so many nights?

Ho Ho Ho, well she understands and she is a very supportive wife. When I met Mrs. Claus many years ago, I explained to her what was my life long dreams and ambitions. She knew early on that my job would require long nights and she was ok with that. She knew in the end it would result in something magical for all families.

TalkingWithTami: When your in the mall taking pictures with all those kids,what are you really thinking?

Ho Ho Ho, I’m just happy to put smiles on kids faces. All kids are wonderful and are a special gift from God. Some kids are afraid to see me at first but most of the time its a great experience for them. I have some adults too that like to stop by and take pictures lol. Everyone always looks so nice in their holiday outfits, I get a kick out of it.

TalkingWithTami: Tell us who’s your stylist, do you ever tire of wearing the same outfit?

Ho Ho Ho, well Tami its a big secret but I have a tailor that actually makes me hundreds of different santa claus suits. They just so happen to be the same color ho, ho, ho. When I am not working at Christmas time I do like to wear a bermuda shirt or two on the beach to relax. I love wearing my red and white suit, its very christmassy and brings holiday cheer!

TalkingWithTami: Come on give us the scoop, whats one of your favorite reality shows?

Hmm thats a hard question because Im so busy I hardly get a chance to sit down and watch the boob tube. Well when I do get a chance to sit down I like to watch the Atlanta Housewives, Ho, Ho, Ho those girls are entertaining whew!

A day with the Rockettes!

Rockettes performing the Soldier Dance

We all know by now that the Rockettes are in town! If you live in Atlanta or anywhere else,its that time of the season for the girls to prance the stage in their glittery outfits! I got a chance to get a sneak peek of their rehearsal yesterday. When I arrived at the Fox theatre, I met one dancer by the name of Carolyn Simpson! Come to find out, she is from Atlanta and lives in Gwinnett county by me! Carolyn said it was always a dream of hers to become a Rockette, since she was 4 years old. I asked her what does a young lady have to do to become a Rockette and she explained that,”first you have to grow lol”.

Carolyn Simpson chatting with me.

Rockettes need to be atleast 5’6″,trained in Tap,Ballet and Jazz and a must, are the I High kicks. You can have all the dance lessons your heart desires but if you cant kick, you’re waisting your time lol. Carolyn has been with the Rockettes for five seasons. She says they have rehearsal 6 days a week, for 6 hours daily.

You also only get 30 minutes to warm up. There are 18 Rockettes on stage and they do 300 kicks a show, wow! They also never hold on to each other, its just an illusion. They do that for precaution, so no one else falls. She also said they still have 80 year old former Rockettes that can still do the kicks, well alright! I tried to do a kick and it wasn’t pretty at all, smh!
