First of all I have to say that Mandi Norwood is probably the nicest person I've met for years. She's dead British, originally from Manchester (my kind of woman) and says it like it is, no messing, no bullshit, no pretensions, just the plain facts...FANTASTIC.
Ok, so she came to mine, then we headed over to Sushi Sambas, she seemed pleased at the fact that it was a place where we could smoke...listen ALL English people smoke, the gym thing over there is still relatively new, but if they allowed you to smoke while on the treadmill, EVERYONE WOULD DO IT.
So anyway we got our drinks ordered, lit up our ciggies and began. She first made me sign a waiver, which was fine, I also told her it was ok to use my real name. Listen I know some of you have advised against this but jesus I have this site, I am quite open about my life so what's the big deal? It's not like Morpheus is going to be surprised by what I've said when he reads her book, good god he knows me better than that.
I was feeling a bit nervous but Mandi soon put a stop to that. She just asked a few questions which with me always lead on to another subject, you know how I can't answer a direct question, always end up wandering off to half a dozen other little tales before I return to the question in hand. I must of been driving her nuts.
Well let's put it this way the interview went SO WELL that she had to run out in the pouring rain to get ANOTHER TAPE because I had used up for the first one. That's how much I talked, TOW TAPES WORTH, you couldn't of stopped for love nor money, I was on a roll, enjoying every minute of it. Apparently I'm the first interviewee (she's done 100) that has gone through TWO TAPES. God my mouth, what am I like? I hope I didn't go too far, oh well when the book is out next Spring I think then we'll see. If I have said too much then I'm sure everyone will hear about it, or at least read about it.
It was great, we had such a laugh, also the place got really busy so we had to scooch up a bit on the couch to let other people squeeze in next to us. Mandi did say the waitress that she was interviewing me, so of course our new neighbors were fascinated and kept trying to hear her questions and my answers, which at some points were very XX-rated, what a laugh.
Oh yeah getting back to the heading above, this is true. When Mandi was Editor for Madamesoille magazine she sent her staff out to find the new "in" thing in Hollywood, what's the new craze, the new fad, give me something juicy. Her staff came back with various new trends, like yoga, Brazilian waxing, but nothing that was new and outrageous, until one girl raised her hand, but didn't really want to say because it was TOO insane. Mandi of course being the boss insisted and so the girl began....
In some parts of Hollywood it's the new craze to have your anus area bleached blonde. Why? I hear you ask. Well apparently as you get older, your anus part gets darker, due I must assume to all the craps that one has over one's lifetime. Anyway to make it look nice and new like a babies bottom no doubt they get it bleached. Oh yes people, it's true. I guess if your in the porn industry and your getting a bit long in the tooth but still want to have that new, young, bleached looking anus then this is clearly what you need to do.
Can you imagine being the person applying the bleach? Oh my god what your customer farted, that's just too nasty to even think about.
I was on the floor when Mandi told me this, how hysterical.
So after starting at 5pm and finishing around 8:30 I reckon she's got more from me than probably any of her other interviewees, fine, so long as I wasn't boring I think it's great. Cannot wait to see the book and also cannot wait to see Mandi again, which I will be doing next week when I invite her round for dinner. Listen there's so many questions I want to ask her but we completely ran out of gas and I had clearly had way too much wine, so we called it a night and both departed out into the pouring rain. I love New York rain, it's severe, takes no prisoners...FAB!!
Right it's Saturday afternoon and my husband is already upstairs working out, he promised he would save me a lounger, so I'm going to head up there now to get some sun and read the New York Times....
later.....
