How would you react to Favreau's photo (see below) if you were Sen. Hillary Clinton?

We take ourselves a tad bit too seriously at times. We do not know what is happening in their moment and really, do we care?

What environment/energy saver is the most difficult for you?

I find driving less is difficult in the suburbs, the proximity of necessities is quite a distance. I am considering a huge basket on my bike for quick trips to the market and exercise.

Detroit Bailout Reader Forum and General Motors 'Ripple Effect' Video

Bailouts, Bailouts, Bailouts. Then the executives and CEO travelling on private jets to beg for money follow it. I think the economy would be right on track if these guys covered their own losses. Why does the consumer have to pay every time huge losses occur? First, it was the banks, then auto industry and now shipping cost because of piracy. Why is the public responsible for this? In the end, the consumer pays trice: once at point of purchase, next with taxes and then with their jobs, retirements and homes. Imagine companies had to swallow their own losses with their bonuses, salaries and benefits. Could you see them peddling sub-prime loans, inefficient automobiles or sailing into dangerous seas? It would be nice to read about a billion-dollar bailout of consumers for a change. Just had to get that off my chest.

What do you think of Warren Buffett's suggestion that we buy big cars now because they are so cheap?

Mr. Buffet may be on to something, a mutual friend of mine had the same idea too. His personal fortune not quite as huge as Mr. Buffet but wealthy all the same. It’s all in the perspective and in the pocket book.

What media hoax or lie are you still trying to get over?

The one that all is bad in the world, pretty much the first section of every newspaper. Geez Louise!! Give us something good to read.

What do you do keep your spirits up during hard times?

During these particularly hard times, I find it best to focus on the positive side of life and it is everywhere all the time. Look for the good in every situation.

What besides wine becomes better with age?

I get better with age like good wine. I love my 40’s better than my 20’s and 30’s. I am by far more interesting and wiser but more open to the world.

What is your best beauty tip?

Best Tip: Soap and water. After years spending and looking for the best beauty products and results, I conclude soap and water. Simple.

Did you use a condom the first time you had sex?

The first time was completely unplanned leaving no time for a condom run.

What magazine cover would you most like to appear on? Why?

Definetly the Oprah magazine holding my newly published novel with a wickedly huge smile. Dreams do come true.

What is the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater? What do you remember about it?

The first movie I ever seen in a theater was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, not remembering much of the movie because I was mesmerised and in awe of the grand”ness”. Plus, the popcorn.

Do you have a talisman? What do you believe brings you good luck?

Someone once made a comment about my life as being lucky. I disagreed then creditting my good fortune to hard work. Today that still holds true to some extent. Now, I am a firm believer you are a creator of your own luck, destiny, existence not necessarily with hard work but with the right intentions.

What are you doing this morning?

This morning I woke early to see the election results and to my delight Obama won. I am not an American citizen but felt close to the election. His presidiency represents history and I am proud to be a global citizen and witness him become the next president. He also stirs hope and affirmation to all minorities in the world, including me a Native American. God bless the world and Obama, change is here.
