Five Things on a Deserted Island:
  • Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
  • 4 gallons of water-based personal lubricant
  • (and pray for no aircraft passing overhead or ships coming too close to shore)
How did you get started in the business?
On a whim, I sent an essay entitled Collectible Glassware as Weaponry to Sharon Grehan at Happy Woman Magazine.  She not only accepted it but made the mistake of encouraging me to send more.  I know she regrets doing that.  She said so.
Why do you do what you do?
If I knew the answer to that, I probably wouldn't do what I do anymore.
Where do you get your ideas & topics from?
The people who write to advice columnists seeking, not true advice, but rather validation for their own bad behavior.  Savannah validates all bad behavior without a second thought.
Which piece do you enjoy the most?
My favorite Savannah Says column is Communication and Other Crap.  I also love the non-Savannah pieces Supermodel Stock Picks and The Kizombe Correspondence.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Lounging outside my villa on the Spanish isle of Ibiza, dressed in a couture swimsuit and laughing genteelly at my lover's preposterous proposition, while a native boy pours me another glass of champagne.  Or else, just being able to upgrade to a newer trailer house.
Words of Advice...
  • Do not try this at home.
  • Save wrapper to discard gum in after use.
  • Never plug or unplug the footbath while your feet are in water.
