"You like puppies?  I LIKE PUPPIES!"

Ryan Carlos aka Los

Los lives his life in a way most people never have the courage to.  Spontaneous is a word created to describe him.  Example: About a year ago, just weeks after joining his list of facebook friends, I spotted a status that he was at the airport with nothing more than the clothes on his back, prepared to see where the weekend took him...you wish you were that cool.

And to top it off, he's a great dancer [& boys who can dance are sexy].

His interview occurred on a late night road trip somewhere between Chicago and Indianapolis.  While I was thanking God for the video light on my Sony Cybershot, Los felt like he was talking to God from staring directly into it's brightness.  Fortunately, he did a great job of keeping those gorgeous almond-shaped eyes from squinting too much at the camera.

Stay tuned later this week for the full interview, but until then, here's a preview including Los's thoughts on the L word:

Sex, Lies, & VideoPhones: Corey [pt 1]

One of the drawbacks of conducting interviews via videophone is that eventually, you're going to run out of space.

Fortunately, Corey's a great sport and patiently waited for me to track down a loaner camera to finish things up.
Unfortunately, that camera and it's footage are both still in Indiana.

We may need a do-over session [sorry, Corey].

But for now, here's part 1:

Happy Hallmark Holiday.

Believe it or not, I've always loved Valentine's day.  

Even when I'm single, I love that there's a holiday that celebrates love.  Sometimes the possibility of love is much more powerful and intoxicating than actually being in love, and in that sense valentine's day intoxicates me [as does the celebratory pink champagne, but that's another story].  

I don't think I've ever had a depressing Valentine's.  Unattached, I take it as an opportunity to surround myself with sappiness.  All of those girly romantic comedies that I roll my eyes at during other points in the year suddenly fly off my DVD shelf and into the player.  I soak up the emotion of the possibility of love and feel grateful for the love that already exists in my life.  Love, in any form, is a good thing.  

So this Valentine's day remember: you are loved.

Kevin aka The Real CKW

Kevin and I have been friends for at least 6 years.  We met doing theatre in college, but he's only recently been catapulted to the ranks of one of my best friends.

I adore Kevin most for his ability to be simultaneously egotistical and caring, a bad boy and a gentleman.  Needless to say, when he sat down to be interviewed by a room full of [slightly tipsy] females, nothing was taboo.

From the dirty to the sentimental, Kevin's frank and honest about everything...which is another reason why we're so close.

Here's a preview of what Kevin has to say about falling in love:
