I'd like to meet:
Someday I'd like to meet Hillary Clinton especially if she becomes Madam President! Woo Hoo! Rosie O'Donnell is also high on my list. I think she has done so much for promoting diversity not only for gay rights but also for size rights and adoption rights. Other celebrities include (in no particular order) Queen Latifah (She's so beautiful), Mo'Nique, George Clooney (I know...I know..I keep putting him off and some day he'll leave me if I don't give in to those good looks) and Salma Hayek. I'm sure there's a whole lot more but I just can't think of them all right now.
Then of course there are all of those people who I did get to hug at the 2007 BBW Network Vegas Bash. With 1000 people in attendance it wasn't easy to find just one particular person. It was very similar to attempting to find a needle in a haystack but there is probably a better analogy.
Music:
What can I say? I love rock, blues, rock-a-billy even those old time standards our parents call classics.
No.1 on my list has to be my girl, Candye Kane!
Movies:
I like romantic comedies
If one of my books ever becomes a movie...I'll let you know if I like it.
Television:
Yes, I watch too much TV!
I'm a Law & Order freak! Any and all of them...it's all good! But that Jesse L. Martin , if you look up sexy in the dictionary his picture will be there smiling back at you!
CSI Miami. Much better than CSI Las Vegas IMHO. The writers actually let you in on the private lives of the characters just enough so you care about them. Smart move!
The Closer...finally a tough chick cop who's over 30! Yea!
Books:
I usually read non-fiction these days. In fact, I always imagined that when I wrote my first book it would be non-fiction. However, I discovered my non-fiction was better off as articles and shorts. Turns out I have a knack for story telling. Imagine that!
So many of the books I own are in storage but to give you a peak at what’s on my book self…here’s a listing of my Size Acceptance Books
“Big Fat Lies†by Glenn Gaesser;
“Losing It†by Laura Fraser;
“The Obesity Myth†by Paul Campos;
“Big Big Love†by Hanne Blank;
“Tipping the Scales of Justice†by Sondra Solavay JD;
“Nothing to Lose†by Cheri Erdman;
“Bountiful Women†by Bonnie Bernell;
“Wake Up, I’m Fat†by Camryn Manheim;
“Life in the Fat Lane†by Cherie Bennett;
“Fat! So?†by Marilyn Wann;
“When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies†by Hirschman/Munter
Heroes:
(not in any particular order) I'm just getting started!
Albert Einstein and not just for the theory of relativity. He's also the father of quantum theory.
The Firemen/Women and Paramedics who put it on the line and are always ready to save a life.
Jimmy Carter A very under rated President in my mind. He's a man of great spirit and a generous heart. Not to mention he was the first president I was able to vote for.
Barbara Jordan The first black female Senator from the South. An inspiration to all women!
Sandra Day O'Connor Yeah, I know she's a conservative Republican but what can I say.
Mother Theresa How can so much love be in a woman who was so small in stature?
