Ask Me Anything

?

Good Q! I personally don't agree with or understand baby pageants and the like...hmmm, I had to wait until I was 14 to start wearing it, but I think that was a stupid rule (thanks parents!) I think it should be based on the individual more than a magical 'certain' age.?
This ? is in honor of SBS...
Are you, or are you not, into vampires?
My mother also had the rule about being 14!
Accessible wearable clothes would be BCBG hands-down. I love almost everything they put out every season.
In a dream world, haute couture clothes would be Haider Ackermann or anything Tom Ford designed for Gucci. I like sexy but comfortable with an edge.
(PS-Uli Herzner from Project Runway ROCKS. I would buy a lot of her stuff too if I could.)?
LOL. I guess I could take them or leave them. I've always found the premise to be very intriguing, but I am definitely not a fanatic.?
I actually think True Blood is kind of dumb. (sorry!)?
I couldn't agree more. I tried to get in to True Blood, but I just can't. I do, however, love vampires. They're sexy.
Whoops! Sorry, I forgot to list shoes...
I own some Jimmy Choos, but am not really attached to any of them. That is the only high-end shoe designer I own. I love some of the Manolos and Louboutins (of course, who doesn't?) and Brian Atwood has great designs.
Some of the Prada heels lately have been insane. But I would rather spend money on clothes than shoes any day. I am strange like that.?
Again, couldn't agree more - I'm obsessed with Brian Atwood as of late. I just purchased a pair of Brian Atwood booties in Chicago two weeks ago. Love. Them. I bought a pair of Prada heels from their Fall 2008 collection that I literally wear non-stop.
See, my question would be how in the world did you get all that done and the kids down for naps and will you come over to my house and do it, too?
Also, what is the one hair product that I absolutely must have? I keep a running list of all the stuff people talk about on F&B, but I can't buy it all at once. Help me prioritize!
And, for fun, what superpower would you like to have and why?

I'm hungry, so:
What's your all time favorite food?
Favorite dessert?
Chocolate or fruity candy?
Coffee or tea? part 2 of this Q: Hot or cold?
Sweet or salty?
Wine or liquor?
Fancy restaurant w/great food or hole in the wall mom-n-pop w/great food?
Lark, you are so sweet. I got lucky today is all. I had everything done by noon, which is extremely rare. Yesterday, I was still cooking at 7 p.m.
Ok, technically my #1 must-have hair product is the L'Oreal Professional Line shampoo and conditioner, because I don't think my hair would be in the shape it is without it. But, as far as products go, I know Mames guessed right--Paul Mitchell Quick Slip! It cuts drying time in half, adds shine and a little bit of texture.
it!!! Only product I need.
Superpower is a good Q...I would like to be able to fly anywhere, like I dream of Jeanie style. Snap and wake up in Tahiti in overwater bungalow, snap and be in the middle of Manhattan etc...that would be rad.
She can correct me if I'm wrong, but Paul Mitchell Quick Slip?
ETA: Posted too late, but still correct!!

LUCKY GIRL!!! PIP!!?
This made my day :-)
Okay, questions:
1) Did you come up with a title for your NaNo novel? If so, what was it?
2) Have you worked on it at all in December?
The title is currently {Title}. Haha. I kinda want to see where it goes before I stick a name to it.
I've been thinking about it a lot, but no writing. Mostly because I have three papers due this week (not to mention grading 90 final exams!!!) and I can't really justify working on it until all of that is done.

Best childhood memory?
Okay, here is a pic of Leighton Meester the Brian Atwood shoes I just purchased:
and here are my prada pumps:
my almost-famous meatloaf, mashed potatoes, seasoned green beans and biscuits!?
Wow, this is a toughie. I am lucky that I have a lot of good memories. Most of them seem a lot more vivid around the holidays. I remember a lot of sitting around the table and laughing and eating and listening to everyone's stories. My grandpa would also gather us all around the kitchen table and we'd play blackjack for hours. I think it was hilarious that he would take our pennies--no matter how old we were! ?
