18. Marlon Brando eating: Brando was famous for his eating habits, gorging himself on food, and then having to lock his refrigerator. Some of his favorite snacks were stuffing a pound of bacon into a loaf of bread, cracking fresh coconuts and filling them with chocolate to melt in the sun, and whole pies. Whenever my friends and I have a feast we say to each other, “Oh, we’re so Brando right now.”

13. Joss Whedon and his Verse - Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog and everything that he continues to create and put his magic touch on in the future. He has a wonderful sense of humor, drama, and fantasy.

12. Halloween! I love getting dressed up any time of the year and always get super excited about my Halloween costume. Here’s a sample of some past years:

The Halloween Faery

Naughty Librarian 

A Star (a la Stardust)

A Swedish Milkmaid - I got attacked by a pack of sperm…

German Beer Wench

Sexy Sherlock Holmes

Ezmerelda, Belly Dancer

I’m a mouse, duh.

Luck be a Lady Tonight (this was in Vegas)

This year I’m going to be a Boat and maybe Alabama Whirley if I can pull it together. I’ve got a pretty extensive costume wardrobe as it is…

11. SUSHI- I loves me some raw fish. I have to talk myself out of getting it every day. I refuse to date anyone who does not love sushi as much as I do. I even take myself out for solo sushi dates quite often or get a huge amount for takeout and eat it in my bed. Ugh, now I’m hungry.

9. Classic Hollywood Film - I am addicted to TCM. My parents indoctrinated  these films into my soul from a young age, and I continue to watch them. Musicals, dramas, comedies, simpler times when problems could be solved with a song and dance number, kisses were always closed mouthed, celluloid glowed in black, white and grey, and every outfit was spectacular.

8. Elizabeth Taylor - flawless bitch, my idol, fashion icon, drank, swore, loved, lived. I hope to one day be a fraction as cool as she was.
