Do you have any specific phobias? Say, like a fear of clowns or midgets?I like midgets, not afraid of them at all. I hate spiders; bugs, in general. I've never been stung by a bee, and I'm in no hurry to experience a sting. I am also afraid of strange people. (That basically puts the nails in the coffin for any future with this associate editor.-MD)
What's you favorite episode of Seinfeld?Definitely, the "Soup Nazi" episode. That was a classic.
So, how do feel about leather?Depends on the context, but I like leather.
How about finishing with some quick word association?OK.
Fendi.Expensive.
Bermuda.The triangle.
Baby Fishmouth.What?
Diamonds.More expensive.
Camera.Nikon.
Peter North.No thanks.
Special thanks to 2000 Miss Hot Import Nights Sasha Singleton.See her at selected shows this year.We, at Super Street, get to do a lot of cool things. Ranking right up there with test drives and scoring free car polish is the opportunity to interview lovely and vivacious models. Sure, we gawk at them at the import events, but don't want to be confused with the other nameless masses of rubes pestering them for autographs and posters. We are men and often resort to the impromptu photo session (actually 18 snapped frames with a camera that has no film) in an attempt to get our groove on with the models. Talking to them gives us the opportunity to poke around to see if there is potential for sparks, or if one (by same miracle of God) will take pity on us and be willing to be seen in public together.
The people at Hot Import Nights made the mistake of granting us an interview with their newest spokesmodel. (Get to know her better on her Web site www.cherieroberts.com.) See her at the next Hot Import Nights event, and maybe you won't strike out like we did.
