Sexual Tension and a Poll on LOST

I’m going to spill a deep dark secret – I’m obsessive, especially about good writing which explains in part my interest in All Things Buffy.  Buffy probably had some of the best writing ever on television and with it gone, I’ve experienced a profound television viewing void.  Of course, I’m filling that void with programs like House, Veronica Mars, Supernatural and another cult favorite – LOST.

On the topic of LOST, somehow television executives have decided that we should go for weeks on end with no new shows, a phenomenon I can’t understand and a sure fire way to lose viewers in my humble opinion.  So, since we will apparently face weeks without a new show shortly–  and since I’m obsessive remember – what better way to pass the time than to conduct a scientific study on sexual tension on LOST!! How you ask?  We’ll I’ve set up a poll at my Newsletter/Contest loop and I’m asking you to vote on the question of:

Who would you like to see together on Lost?

Kate and Jack

Kate and Sawyer

Because I understand obsession, I’ve also added a few long shots like:

Kate and Locke

Kate and Hurley

and of course, Kate and Juliet for all of you into Slash Fiction out there.

If you’d like to offer your comments on the poll and/or the choices, please post them here!

Here’s a link to the Poll Blog:

Thanks for all your votes and comments in advance! Caridad

My Buffy Obsession

So if you’ve read the blog, you know I’ve got a Buffy Obsession.  How bad?  My husband joked that if I was the victim in a Law and Order Ripped from the Headlines story, Lennie Brisco would walk into my office, walk out and say to his partner “You gotta see this!”

So, here’s a photo from an Edison-Metuchen Sentinel article a few years back.  This is just a small section of my office.  In addition to what you see, I’ve got a collection of action figures, skateboard and even props from the show!

An America Encounter

I’m so excited to see how well UGLY BETTY is doing.

Plus, I love America Ferreira! She was great in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and my family had the opportunity of seeing her off-off Broadway in a show called DOG SEES GOD. The show also had Eliza Dushku (Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Eddie Kaye Thomas (of American Pie fame and now on ‘Til Death on Fox) and Ian Somerholder (Boone from LOST).

We waited at the stage door to meet the stars of the show. Somerholder completely ignored his fans which totally disappointed my daughter. He ran out without stopping for pictures or autographs, but not America and Eddie Kaye Thomas.

Even though it was freezing, they both signed autographs, talked to the fans and posed for pictures. Here’s a cute one with America pre-Ugly Betty! Thanks for being so gracious, America!

Catalina Magazine’s Book Clubs and Events

I’ve mentioned that SEX AND THE SOUTH BEACH CHICAS is the October Selection at the Catalina Magazine book club.  I’ve been having a blast all month answering readers’ questions, putting out some questions to them and giving out some fun prizes.

Catalina has also hosted a series of wonderful events as part of its Essence of Latinas National Tour.  I participated at a spa event at the Crescent Court Hotel (gorgeous place) in Dallas in August.  We also just did a gig at the Rittenhouse Hotel (another beautiful luxury hotel) in Philadelphia.

It’s been so rewarding to get a chance to sit and talk to so many new people and not just about the books.  There are some truly inspiring women out there and it’s been a delight to get to meet them.  The events are open to one and all, you just have to visit the site and RSVP with the location where you want to attend (space is limited though, so be sure to do it quickly before the event closes out!)
