1- How come girls hate it when someone else is wearing the same oufit yet go thru plastic surgery to look exactly like someone else?
A: well, the same outfit could look better on somebody else and u’d look like a fat cow in comparison, but plastic surgery would be different with different face features, so it’s not exactly the same thing, and it would be done to rid someone of something that would stay on her face/body forever. (nose, fat, chin, and breasts)

2- Who influenced you the most and in what way?
A: well, my parents and my friends have a bigger influence on me than TV or a celebrity or any other relative. and in a way that makes me cautious of different kinds of people and different situations. Life in general.

3- Would you rather be famous and loved or successful?
A: that’s a hard question… i want to be all three… if i’m famous and loved, i guess i’d have to be successful at something… but it should be for something that ppl would actually really love me for… but if i’m just successful, it could be because i stepped on somebody on my way up and ppl woudn’t really love me for that lol… so i’d prefer the loved and succesful part :p

4- Rather be under-dressed or over-dressed to an occasion/event?
A: i don’t mind either… but over-dressed would be best because it can be down-played (less glitter, letting down my hair)

5- Mention one thing about you that no one knows.
A: something that’s not a secret but nobody knows? hmm… i hate cooking, but if i had to do it, i don’t mind…

2. Why is Dolly Chahine’s body so fabulous?!!
A: well, i don’t know her so i can’t judge… but if she’s like her namesake Dolly Parton, i’d say my body was much more fabulous :p the natural kind, remember those?

3.How can i become a celebrity?
A: here are the steps randomly:
*get big boobs…
*marry a rocker… and then another guy… and then another guy and then date Ben Affleck…
*have a celebrity mom…
*wear clothes that would fit ur little sister Jaz…
*make a block-buster movie where there’s a line that goes: ” i’d prefer to die here in ur arms than in the arms of my lesbian mistress… farewell and keep fighting for the rights of deadly cucumbers!” …
*get on TV with a reality show where u act stupid and go around telling people ur named after a hotel…
*make CDs featuring Nelly…
*dance better than Britney Spears and J.Lo combined…
*get pregnant but tell people u aren’t even though ur belly is bulging over your low-rise jeans…
*make out with girls in public…
*sing a song about being dirrty and then make fun of all the celebs in a rap song…
*oh, and get married in Vegas with Elvis Presley as the pastor!
(simple, ain’t it?)

4. Can you pay for me to go to Oprah?
A: suuuuuure, all us bloggers will pay we’ll make a huge box labeled “loose change” and then we wait for 5 years and count the coins until we have enough money to send u off but we’re gonna need volunteers to count the coins in the airport or else how’re we gonna pay for ur tickets? :p

5. Would you marry Purgy if he asked you?!
A: and become Queen Purgatoria of the Penguin Kingdom? hmm…. tempting :p but my cows would freeze to death and i’m not a fan of sushi… never tried it, really…
