Let's see a close up of you and H since I have no clue who either of you are.
If you could meet any past bachelor or bachelorette (contestants included) which would you meet? I love Ed so much on Bpad right now. He would be a great time. I also think Michelle Money and I could be snarky bffs together.
When are you planning on visiting no man's land (aka NWPA) to see all the joy and excitement there is? I cannot think of a single reason I would ever be in NWPA. Unless I had to join the witness protection program.
Why are you such a hoar? I dated my first boyfriend for 5.5 years and I missed sowing my wild oats. Making up for it now. Well I was until I had to go and get MARRIED.
What is your favorite color? Teal.
Have you ever met somebody famous? Given my job, yes-all the celebs that have been on the shows that I've done. But my first job was the receptionist at New Line Cinema, so we used to have actors come in all the time. James McAvoy came in before he was famous and I wanted to DIE.
What was your favorite olympic sport to watch/follow? I love it all, but probably gymnastics for the tears.
What is your current job? What is your dream job (if different)? I'm a story producer for reality/documentary TV. Right now working on Too Cute for Animal Planet. Dream job would be working for The Daily Show.
What is your favorite thing about your H? His brain. He's so incredibly smart, he is always exposing me to new things, he's very witty and makes me laugh all the time. And he used to look exactly like Doogie Howser. It's hilarious.
Favorites?
Color: Teal
TV Show: guilty pleasure: The Bachelor, quality program: Game of Thrones
Movie: Clueless, every Jane Austen movie ever
Actor/Actress: Emma Stone, and this is total weird, but Jeff Daniels
Singer: Joseph Arthur
Band: The National
Sport: The Olympics is really the only thing I watch, I don't even watch the Superbowl
Sports Team: I really can't think of a single sports team I have an opinion about.
Season: Summer
Holiday: 4th of July
If held at gunpoint, would you be able to name a favorite Kevin Smith movie? Hold on...I have to look up his movies...
Dogma I guess. I've only seen Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Clerks. So by default...
Why is Kevin Smith so fat? Because he seriously smokes like 2lbs of weed a day, and that's a lot of munchines. I am not joking. He finished a big fat blunt every 30 minutes on an 8 hour shoot.
Did you get to meet any of the reality *stars*? If so, who? I did one cycle of Top Model, and two season of Make Me a Supermodel, so I know all of those contestants and I'm still "friends" with a couple of them. I've met all the presenters/hosts for the shows I've done:
Tyra: She's not the "girlfriend" she wants you to think she is. She NEVER spoke to the crew, she hung out in her dressing room the whole time. BUT I will say she's very professional and got through shooting very quickly. However the other judges (Nigel, the Jays, Paulina) were all super fun and hung out with us all the time.
Trump: He was prompt and said his lines, so he gets the OK in my book, from a working standpoint. However it was pretty amusing that he literally DOES NOT SEE the peons standing around him. He literally can only see the "important" people the room.
Gene Simmons: Is disgusting and makes my skin crawl.
Trump's son: Very nice, very normal. Terrible hair
Ivanka: Oy what a heinous ***, she would direct the drivers to just blow through every red light because she couldn't be bothered to wait.
Tyson Beckford: Oh lord Tyson and I almost got in a fist fight. It's a good thing he's pretty, he wouldn't survive on wits alone.
Nicki Taylor: The sweetest person on the planet. Because she has a manager to the giant *** for her.
Ummmm, I know there are others but I can't think of them right now.
What is your favorite thing H has ever cooked for you? The man can barely boil water, so unless I want french toast or tacos, I have to make dinner. That being said, he makes really good cinnamon french toast.

What's your drink of choice? non-alcoholic: Water, alcoholic: Riesling
Do you like coconut? I HATE COCONUT DIE YOU DEMON FLAKE
Have you ever kissed a girl? And did either of you have cherry chapstick? I have not had the pleasure, no. Somehow in college when that was a 'thing' I never had enough tequila shots in me to take the plunge.
Which would you rather have a never ending supply of, paper towels or tissues? Tissues, so much gentler on my delicate skin, and considering there is always snot running down my face, I need a lot of them. Plus I have to pee a lot, and tissues are better toilet paper substitute than paper towels.
What's your reaction to MacKayla Maroney's "not impressed" memes? I love them. Photoshop that smirk on everything I say. She belongs on our money. Smirk *** smirk!
Cats or dogs? as a pet, I prefer cats because they are lower maintenance. But I do love dogs.
What is weird/unique about your body? 100% true, I have a nubin like Chandler Bing. It's not fully formed so it looks more like a birth mark, but I was HORRIFIED when the doctor told me it was, in fact, a nubin. Also I was born with my feet completely bent like boomerangs so I spent the first 9 months of my life in casts reshaping them.They are freaking perfect now.
How old are you? How old do you feel, and how old do you wish you were? I am 29, 10 months, and 19 days old. I feel 29, 10 months, and 8 days old. I wish I was however old I was on June 8 so I could be getting married all over again.
Let's see a close up of you and H since I have no clue who either of you are. True story, we are in this photo. http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/taylor-hackford-and-helen-mirren-arrive-at-the-new-york-news-photo/72176776
How did you decide on this career path? I wouldn't say I "decided" on it. I went to school for TV and had no idea what I wanted to do or even could do. I just kept getting referred to people for jobs and one show asked me to stay on for Post. And it just kinda stuck, there aren't very many people in NYC that do what I do, so it's always easy to find work. And it's nice having a "normal" schedule and not having to be up at 3am to stand outside in 12 degree weather for 18 hours straight.
How do you feel about dinosaurs? They are godless killing machines. I go to the Museum of Natural History and point at their bones and laugh. Stupid dinosaurs.
If you had to change your current career, what would you pick instead? Oh dear god I am not fit for anything else. If I had steadier hands I would want to be a film restorer. Just lock me up in a room alone with my scalpel and leave me be.
What names did you end up picking for the puppies? The Malamutes are : Klondike, Tundra and Avalanche. The Cavaliers are Phoenix and Paris, the Dalmatians already had names: Madison, Francie, and Woodrow.
How much reality TV do you watch in your downtime? I don't watch a lot of reality tv while I'm working, less than 10 hours a week. Regular TV i watch 3-5 hours worth a night, though I have dvr so I can watch 4 hours of TV in less than 3 hours. If I'm not working oh dear lord I watch like 12 hours of TV a day.
If you could rename your husband, what name would you choose? Ryan Gosling.
What is your favorite article of clothing? My Jordache Jeans-RETHANY YOU HATER
Have you ever walked around the city shoeless? Why or why not? Oh god no, I have accidentally stepped out of a flip flop and had my barefoot touch the ground and I PANIC.
What do you enjoy shopping for most? Least? Dress probably, because they are the most flattering and I can always find ones I like. Least? Bathing suits, I want to go back to 1920s swimming costumes so I don't have to feel like a whale.
Why do you hate me?
Do you own a ball gag?
Do you enjoy watching Russian gymnasts cry?
Why do you hate me? My momma told me never to trust anyone who using the term "pop." Also anyone who doesn't have the balls to use her misspelled cocktail napkins can't be my friend. Also you betray the CFC world by declaring you might have kids if you could be a SAHM. FOR SHAME.
Do you own a ball gag? Sadly not anymore. When the giver of that delicious gift moved to Texas, my friend and I bestowed all his generous gifts back to him. Including the Maori chick with diick magazine, a pair of nipple clips with bells on them, and my beloved ball gag. I hope he enjoyed them.
Do you enjoy watching Russian gymnasts cry? So much that I want to make them my wallpaper. I hope in 2014 there are some crying Russian figure skaters. It's going to be a long two years without those tears to sustain me.
Why do my feelers hurt all of the sudden?
I said "feelers" to H the other day and he had never heard that phrase before. Because he lives under a rock. Also, I don't know how your feelers can hurt when you grew up near BEAVER county. BEAVER BEAVER BEAVER.
I would rather visit you in whatever god forsaken rural hellhole you live in now than NWPA. I don't know why I hate that section of PA so much. Probably because you had that chain restaurant that served the smile cookies. What was that place called? I always wanted to go and never could.
I know what you're being sent for Christmas, and no, its NOT Rethany Napkins...
Eat n' Park? You mean.....the place for smiles?
Why are you so cold hearted?
Why do I like you even more for your cold heartedness?
YESSSSSSSS Eat n Park! I had cousins that lived in Upper St. Clair and I used to BEG my mother to take me to Eat n Park when we went to visit. No dice.
I am cold hearted because when I was 9, my mother told me I could have a pet turtle if I cleaned my room for 3 months. Well I did. And then she reneged on the deal and I never got the turtle. It was a cruel lesson, but it hardened me to the tough realities of the world.
Why do you like me even more? I'm like Pringles, once you pop, you can't stop. Also y'all like having me around because it makes you feel better about yourselves. "At least I'm not as big of a meanieface as that DARIA."
My birthday is next month, and all I want is a Rethany napkin. It can have a 'pop' stain on it for all I care. H keeps getting very confused as to what the hell a Rethany napkin is and where he can buy one to make me happy.
How do you respond when people ask you "How is married life?"
What is your favorite fragrance and why? Describe it please.
Do you have a favorite article of clothing? If so, what is it and why is it your fave?
Describe what you and H's first date was like.
What is your H's quality that sets him apart from everyone else you have dated?
How do you respond when people ask you "How is married life?" "Fine" I have no witty comebacks for that question.
What is your favorite fragrance and why? Describe it please. Hmmm, I love freshly baked cookies, and passion fruit
Do you have a favorite article of clothing? If so, what is it and why is it your fave? H bought me a shirt that says "Guess What" and it has an arrow that points to a chicken butt. Years ago I said "Guess What? Chicken Butt" and he said WHAT?! You mean Monkey Butt!! Apparently he has been saying it completely wrong for decades. Loser.
Describe what you and H's first date was like. We went out for a drink after I got off work and we decided to go to a movie. There was a lot of time before the movie we wanted to see (Capote) so we went to dinner first. Then the movie, where after they hang the murders I literally jumped him because I couldn't take it any longer. Romantic, I know. Then we went to a champagne bar for awhile and got dirty looks because we sat in a corner making out and only had one glass each of cheap champagne. Then we made out on the corner of Broadway & 56th for awhile in the snow. And then I made myself go home. The next day was New Years Eve and we spent the whole day together...then the whole weekend...and nearly 7 years later I've barely spent a weekend without him.
What is your H's quality that sets him apart from everyone else you have dated? Everything. But the biggest thing is he had his shizz together-personally, mentally, financially, etc. It was so nice dating someone who wasn't flat broke and could pay his bills on time AND knew who he was and what he wanted.
