Fun Questions for Monica Kaye

So, the Vixens apparently decided that it would be a fun thing to do a Q&A with yours truly, Monica Kaye, about my RT experience.  They think I'm funny or something.  They don't recognize mental illness when they see it. 

This blog actually kicks off a special promotion here on the Vixens' blog.  Stay tuned to the end of the interview for details.

And now... The Official Vixens' Interview of Vixen Monica Kaye!

V: Did you get to meet a favorite author?

M: Actually, yes.  I got to meet quite a few.  I love Jade Lee, she’s freaking hilarious!  L.A. Banks was one of the nicest people ever!  So was Cynthia Eden.  I love Angela Knight.  I actually told her that a couple years ago and she proceeded to take out a restraining order against me.

V: Did anyone besides your roomie see you in your PJs?

M: I don’t wear PJs so Tricia actually saw more than she wanted to.  KIDDING!!!  No, no one saw the goodies (and can I tell you my goodies are delicious!).  There weren’t a lot of unattached men there, most were with wives and I guess the cover models have a ‘No Sex’ contract until after the Mr. Romance competition so...yeah.

V: What was the most shocking or awe-struck moments you experienced?

M: Something that people may not know about me is that I don’t tend to get awe-struck or star-struck.  I think it’s fun to meet authors but I’m not crazy with it.  I will stalk authors but that’s totally different.  I’m sure I’ll stop once my stalkers start coming.

V: Are you going again next year?

M: UGH!!!  Columbus!  Who the fuck want to go to Columbus other than Vixen Helen who was born there (and quick to leave as I pointed out to her).  Just the thought of Columbus depresses me.  Go to Columbus!  Pfft!

I already booked my ticket.

V: What was your most surreal moment?

M: I don’t think I had one.  Except, I made eye contact with a tall, very pretty woman and I saw her again in the hall.  Tricia and I started up a conversation and all the while I was thinking ‘She looks familiar.’  So Tricia, unaware, asks the woman, ‘What do you write?’  She smiled and said she wrote paranormal/urban fantasy.  We chatted and then parted way with well wishes.  As soon as she left, I turned to Tricia and gasped, ‘That was L.A. Banks!’

Nice!

V: What was your most embarrassing moment? 

M: I know question comes from Tricia because she loves the retelling of it.  

Okay, so after the Mr. Romance competition, we decide to go get dinner.  On the way, we meet up with some buddies and we’re chatting.  One of them has a computer and has been reading the twitters between the Smart Bitches and Heather Osborn of Tor.  They were hilarious and she wanted me to read them.  I oblige and take a step back, totally forgetting that I’m on a small step.  I fall.  On my ass.  On the plus side, they tell me it was a graceful fall.  I imagine that had it been the Olympics, my scores would have been between 9.5 and 9.8.

I’m a graceful bitch.

V: What was your favorite drink? 

M: Tricia again.  Uh, that’s a hard one because we drank.  A lot.  Several different types of alcohol but I was really digging the Mojito.  Oh, and Swamp Water.  Blue Hawaiian.  Rum Runners.  Pina Coladas.  Oddly enough, Electric Lemonade?  Not so much.

V: Of the balls, which was your favorite and why?

M: I didn’t get to see any of the models’ balls.

Oh!  You meant parties.  Right.  I think the Vampire Ball.  It had everything, a stage show, better food (at least edible) and WAY better music.

V: What was the best workshop you attended and why?

M: I really enjoyed the ‘He Sex/She Sex’ workshop.  It was refreshing to get to speak with actual men about sex.  A lot of questions centered around what men thought about after they got the woman naked.  My favorite quote?  When asked about what men thought about sex, Barry Eisler quoted his friend by saying ‘A man would sleep with an alligator if you drained the swamp.’  I laughed my ass off.  Although I don’t know that I enjoyed being compared to an alligator.

Also, I missed the Screaming Orgasm.  Again.

V: Which cover model was most drool-inspiring? 

M: Oh, there were so many (but not as many as 2 years ago)!  In terms of body, Franco had me drooling.  He has the look (and body) of a man that would fuck your brains out so badly that you would need to call in to work the next day.  He even confirmed it to Tricia (when she asked) and said that he would ‘Fuck the shit out of her.’  

My kind of guy!

V: Tell us about some of the cover models you met.  Which ones were your favorites?  Why?

M: I always (and by ‘always’ I mean the 2x I met him) enjoy talking with Rodney.  He is so smart and funny and nice.  The women LOVE him.  Franco was fun.  I got to touch him a lot.  Charles Paz, was ridiculously cute and sweet.  His body is bangin’.  He can make his titties move!!!!  I loved that.  We have a pic of me with him just as I come to that realization.  

V: Who do you think should have won Mr. Romance?

M: Charles Paz.  I voted for him.  He was so outgoing and always friendly with the women.  I wish he would have been MORE friendly with me but...I digress.  Fortunately, he did win.  We were so excited for him!  

And speaking of hot guys…come back on Friday to the Vixens’ blog where will be have a special surprise for you as we kick off our first annual ‘Summer Meat-wave.’  I promise you won’t be disappointed!
