So since we're so fond of answering questions around here and it ramps up our post numbers...here's a few that will hopefully make you think a bit....You certainly make me think!


1. Do you have a favorite work of (visual) art or a favorite artist? If so, what or whom is it and why do you like it? I like Thomas Kincade. Have a few of them.


2. What is your favorite book and why do you love it? Sheesh, too many. So I'll stick with The Notebook. It's good when I need/want to cry.


3. Where do you think you go when you die? Someplace beautiful and free of pain. To me, that's heaven.


4. If you had to pick an actor

1. Do you have a favorite work of (visual) art or a favorite artist? If so, what or whom is it and why do you like it? I have many, Jack Pollack's "She Wolf" is a favorite ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2175/2386772694_8d7ecef214.jpg)

1. Do you have a favorite work of (visual) art or a favorite artist? If so, what or whom is it and why do you like it? Luis Royo. I love how strong and sexy and dangerous his women are in his work.


2. What is your favorite book and why do you love it? An Unknown Woman by Alice Koller. She showed me that you can have a life different from the "dream" of the white picket fence, two car garage and 2.5 children and love the way you live. You can be as unconventional as you need to be and be a happy and contented person.


3. Where do you think you go when you die? I'm going to the Summerlands for awhile to be with my deities and then decide if I want to remain there or reincarnate again.

1. Do you have a favorite work of (visual) art or a favorite artist? If so, what or whom is it and why do you like it? I consider Fashion to be an art form, and am in love with all things Betsey Johnson:


Betsy Johnson 4 Pictures, Images and Photos



2. What is your favorite book and why do you love it? "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston- it is a coming of age tale set in the south in the early 1900's- the protagonist was so strong in her convictions, and unafraid to seek what she wanted out of life- I admired her for many years, and modeled my way of thinking after hers.



3. Where do you think you go when you die? The ashes from my body will be spread throughout the world, and my soul will travel to meet its Creator to either be freed or bound to another body.



4. If you had to pick an actor and actress to play you and your SO in the film of your life who would it be? I would pick Jada Pinkett and Andre 3000 (they're also both musicians, and both my DF and I are musically inclined)- I think they both have beautiful souls, and can understand our creativity and spontaneity.



5. If you could witness one moment in history to understand it better, or just to watch it, what would it be? The creation of man- guess it would be otherworldly to be able to see...myself...being created, but its something I often wonder about.

I know nothing about art. I have always liked looking at the Degas Ballerinas, I like the way I feel when I look at them. I am rather fond of Erik Sandberg's work. Of course the fact that he is the "sweetie" of a relative of mine has nothing to do with it. LOL

2. What is your favorite book and why do you love it?


I choose the book that has affected me most in life, not the most enjoyable to read. It's The Diary of Anne Frank. I have read it several times. The first was as a young teen and the last about a year ago. The tragedy of the Holocaust notwithstanding….the personal story of her enduring spirit is what has had an impact on me. Mostly as a grown woman.


3. Where do you think you go when you die?


I think I will be back with my maker.


4. If you had to pick an actor
