1. What turns you on, creatively or otherwise?
Kwanza Jones: Sugar, I don't get turned on; I stay on! The better question is: Do I have an off switch?
2. What’s a good tip for someone who wants to be you for Halloween?
Forget one good tip; I'll give you three. First, aluminum foil — lots of it. Second, maxi pads, pantyhose, or balloons filled with pudding, because you're probably gonna need to do some bra stuffing. Third, a supercharged sassy attitude, because when you walk into the party with all your padded assets bursting out of that aluminum bling costume, you better be able to own it. Remember, you have to be beyond fierce; you have to be vicious! Make that your mindset and you will rule Halloween, Kwanza Jones style!
3. Which celebrity’s hair do you covet most?
Honey, puh-lease. Have you seen my many different hairstyles?! I'm the coveted, not the coveter. And yes, my Ivy league educated arse makes up words. So all you Kwanza Jones hair coveters, get to copying! I'll even make a video tutorial for you.
4. What would your death-row last meal be?
Anything that takes a really, really, really long time to eat.
5. What’s your juiciest vice or guiltiest pleasure?
I eat chocolate and ice cream every day.
6. What extravagant purchase should probably make you feel guiltier?
It's a toss-up between buying all my groceries at Whole Foods or paying full price for Louboutin, Zanotti, or YSL shoes. In fact, I think I'm gonna put 'em on eBay to atone for my sins. The shoes, not the groceries.
7. When’s the last time you wanted to slap someone?
Last week. Someone parked in front of my garage and I couldn't get out until I had them towed.
8. What most likely made that stain on your outfit?
Swamp juice, aka my superfoods vegetable drink.
9. Describe your favorite undergarment.
Little, lacy and racy!
10. What’s a lie you’ve told more than once?
That I will get some rest tomorrow.
BONUS: Where do you see yourself in five minutes?
Touching down in London. In fact, I gotta shut it down now. The flight attendants keep giving me nasty looks because I haven't turned my phone off yet. Catch ya later, my lovelies!
