I am more than my hair.

I don't know how to drive.
My first words were Bob Barker
This may be why my ultimate dream is to be a contestant on The Price is Right.
Because it's certainly not because of the awesome furniture.
I don't have a sweet tooth. I have a sweet whole mouth.
There are currently 7 lip products in my purse.
I am not neat.
I'm allergic to aspirin and strawberries.
I don't like soda. Unless there's liquor in it.
I'm a third generation Brooklyn-girl living it up in Manhattan.
But yes, the Brooklyn is still in the girl.
Holla.
I spent four years as a book editor (ok, fine--first as an editorial assistant, last as an associate editor), and I'm thinking that's why this is the third time I've edited this entry. I've now got my own novel coming out in June, and my secret fear is that NO ONE will buy it. Except for my MOTHER. And her FRIENDS.
I like bad wine, but I know how to describe it all fancy--"Something smooth and non-oaky."
I'm diligent about "please" and "thank you." And also? Flossing.
I do find that the only thing better than doing the New York Times crossword puzzle? Is actually finishing it.
wooo! I like bad wine too! It's called Bum Juice. And I know you're more than your hurr....Give 'em hell, Zoe...you can win this ish!
8:09 AM on 02/27/06Do you think it's too self-promotiony to talk about the book, Kevin? I'm wary of crossing the line, but I also love my book. I pet it often and call it Lovey.
It's called "Pick Me Up," and it's already available for pre-order at amazon.com. Not that you should be rushing out to buy it. But should the need arise, I wouldn't put a stick to you.

8:40 AM on 02/27/06It's gonna be more than your mom and her friends, homeslice. We are all waiting with breath that is baited.
Pass that dutch.
8:43 AM on 02/27/06it's a little too self-promotiony, however i figure you might as well get it out of the way now...because now people can use the book cover for potential photoshoppings in the contest, to be sure.
wow, just saw your picture. truly lurvely hair. between that and brooklyn, you've got it in the bag. go zoe!!
10:48 AM on 02/27/06I can say in all honesty that I will buy this book. I will basically buy anything any of the other bloggers put up for sale, because that's how I am. Hording memories.
If I mail it to you express courier return, will you sign it?
Haaa. I'll both sign it and leave a lipstick kissmark on the title page.
Because all books should come with lipstick kissmarks, and why didn't I think of that when I was in publishing??
I had no idea you're allergic to strawberries! You think you know someone... anyhow Zoe's the only person or blogger I would ever use HTML tags for to say she's the bomb. Anything less than boldface italics doesn't get it done.
1:14 PM on 02/27/06Zoe, don't worry if no one buys your book except your mother and her friends. I hear your mom has A LOT of friends...if you know what I mean. OH!
What? Mom jokes already? It's only the first day of the contest.
I'm allergic to asprin too!
Maybe we can be Allergy Siblings, and go to Paracetamol Appreciation Days together.
Waferbaby! Yay. I feel like less of a freak in pain now! Thanks for sharing and making my day. Although we yanks call it Acetaminophin. (I would say we call it Tylenol, but I totally buy generic.)
And David, my family's from Brighton Beach, but I grew up in Park Slope. Before the Starbucks! (And the Barnes & Noble for that matter.)
My Dad's favorite phrase: "Look at Fifth Avenue! We didn't even used to park our car there!"
Bad wine...don't I know...my trick and I think you taught me...is a bit of vodka, triple sec, orange juice, and cran...then I call it Sangria and serve it to my drunken muching friends from college ;)
