Message Board Celebrity Of The Day (Part II) - Shameless — Page 130

Your life is a song... what style is it written in, what's the vocal range of the piece, if it contains vocals at all and how many instruments .... ? It's an art song in the style of Fauré, true contralto range, for piano and voice. Well, either that or it's a funky rock song in the style of Velvet Chain with a ton of wacky instrumentation.

Your body is a book.... what's its name? Er...Grey's Anatomy? hehehe Or maybe, Dr. StrangeAmato or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love My Body.

Your mind is a painting.. how many colors and how long might I stand at the Louvre and wonder what it all means? A myraid of colors! Almost too many to count, and lots and lots of blues and greens in there... And I think you'd have to stand there for a while, 'cause it would be pretty abstract and swirly.

You have been a wonderful celeb Erika!

Thank you so much for all the marvelous answers!

You are an awesome person, and great fun!

Hee! Thanks, Glebby!

smartpenguin78: Awwwwwwwww... It's been my pleasure!

Thanks again to best12bars for picking me!

So, a couple of hours to go, and then I must relinquish my crown... Who will be my successor?? It's all just so exciting!!!

Congrats erika. :)

Wow... You know, I've seen you ask that question before, and I've always thought it was a really tough one... I wish I'd taken the opportunity to give it some thought in advance, but I really didn't expect to be MBCotD! :-P

So, of course my first thought was Jesus Christ, but I know at least one person has already given that answer fairly recently...

OK, so I'm going to pick William Shakespeare. I would ask him if he really wrote all those wonderful plays and sonnets all by himself, and if it pisses him off that there are all these theories now that he didn't. I would ask him about his life - since there are many conflicting theories about who he actually was and where he lived, as well - and I would ask him if when he was writing, did he ever have any inkling that his work would survive for well over 400 years, or was he just trying to write a viable commercial product and is shocked by the continued accolades. Does he enjoy all the "re-imagined" interpretations of his work, or would he rather we stop changing time periods, gender-bending casting, etc. (I expect he'd say he loves it when it's done well, but that all to often that sort of thing is done as a gimmick to cover up a lack of vision in the director...) And really, why would you write something like Titus Andronicus?? I mean really. (The stage directions in that play are HILARIOUS! "Enter Lavinia, waving her stumps!" hahahaha) Anyway, I think a dinner with Mr. Shakespeare could be quite interesting.

erika...great choice for an interview....BRAVA !!!

Now please don't give me a hard time when you have to give up your crown....I had to wrestle rath to the ground to get it off of her head.

Thanks Craig, Wexy, and Mom!

BroadwayBoobs: LOL! Don't worry, I promise to be gracious when the moment comes...although that is a really gorgeous tiara, and it looks quite good on me...NO! STOP IT! (Slaps herself) I promise I'll give it back without a struggle.

EddieVarley! My husband! Thanks for stopping by and for the lovely sentiment! *blush*

OK, I realized I skipped a question from DayDreamer by accident!

If you could have anyone over for dinner, who would it be and what would you serve? Well, I already chose Will for Boobs' version of the question, so I think now I'm gonna go more modern and choose Bono. And I'll serve Ethiopan food, since that means we get to sit on the floor and eat with our hands, and it'll be a good backdrop for what I'm sure will be a very serious discussion about poverty in Africa. =) (Plus, I love him.)

One final congratulations to Erika! You have been a treat to get to know--I must admit that I am insanely jealous of all the wonderful career opportunites you've had!

How's the wrist doing?

I didn't get in here yesterday and just wanted to say Congratulations!

It was great to meet you and your husband this weekend. Anyone who can hold her own with Stephen and Clay is very cool in my book.

Thanks, yodamarie! It was great meeting all you guys, too! =)

Elphaba - I'm in NY. I've been here for a couple of weeks, and I'm going back to LA on 4/2. I had a recording gig here, and since I was between gigs in LA, I decided to take this opportunity to check out the NY audition scene, etc. (And see my old friends from HS and college, and see some shows, yada yada yada...)

and so the waiting continues.......

YEA..Great choice Erika....Congrats Grizz. *gently removes tiara from Erika's head and places it gracefully on Grizzabella's*
