I've been tagged! This is a new concept for me. In my two-plus years of crazedparent, I've never been tagged. But CityMama asked if I'd be part of this virtual cocktail party. CityMama was invited by Lisa Stone of BlogHer.
So here goes...five things you don't yet know about me.
- I'm allergic to juniper but refuse to stop drinking gin martinis.
- I failed my first driving test because I couldn't back up in a straight line going 35 mph. (WTF? I'm not Lightening McQueen.)
- My first car was a pale blue, 6-cylinder 1966 Ford Mustang. My mom and dad bought it for me at a Ford Mustang auction in Modesto, Calif. The auctioneer had a collection of more than 100 gorgeous ponies he had to get rid of so his wife could remodel their home in Hawaii. The one I wanted was a mint 1964 1/2 cherry-red convertible with a white top. We were outbid by $500.
- I was a model in my late teens. I would get paid serious cash to work as a mannequin at trade shows and tourists would snap photos of me. They would walk up to me, talk about me, then try to touch me. And just when they'd get thisclosetomyface, I would move and scare the shit out of them.
- I can't hear the song, "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake without shaking my groove thang.
Hehe. Now it's my turn to tag people who I'd love to spend time with at a cocktail party: Ann, La Queen Sucia, Bethany Hiitola, HipMamaB, and Michelle Goodman. Digame chicas!
