Hope you lovelies had a nice Christmas. This post, of course, has nothing to do with that but is instead a brisk summary of end of the year news, which included my next book—with Tom Sizemore—being announced to a wave of surprisingly nice press as well as the thought, from the Chicago Sun Times, that it “could make for one of the juiciest Hollywood star books in recent memory.” It also included a riveting interview (riveting because of him, not me—i.e., the person pressing play and record) with Thomas Jane. It also included (includes?) exciting! New! Events! Coming Up! Really Soon! like this one for All The Single Ladies at Word Bookstore in Brooklyn on January 5th at 7 pm. And this one on How to Change Your Life (or at least hear about it) at Lolita (266 Broome St., NYC) on January 9th at 7:30 pm. There are more—like this one!-that I’ll be mentioning more down the line.
Oh, and yes, I was on TMZ. Why, I’m still not sure. But I was leaving a comedy show with my friend and we were having some deep, philosophical discussion about the meaning of life or maybe I was telling her how good the fries I scarfed during said comedy show were but suddenly I had a camera in my face and my friend was running away. I experienced a confluence of emotions because part of me was thinking, “Wait, you’re supposed to be mean to TMZ, right? Because they’re invading your privacy?” But the other part of me was all flattered that anyone who worked there even knew who I was. And, while I wasn’t aware of quite how Muslim I looked with my scarf over my head, I was a bit flustered so I didn’t get into the somewhat controversial theory that foot fetishes begin with absent mothers (children sexualize the image of their mom always walking away from them) but I did tell him how I was disturbed to find photos of my feet on WikiFeet. It’s probably for the best that this didn’t make the cut.
