Exclusive Interview #2

It's Wednesday- which means it's time for another Vivogue interview with myself- totally raw, unfiltered, and only available here at www.hellovivian.blogspot.com

For those just tuning in, Vivogue Magazine is my own imaginary magazine. It's filled with amazing photos and editorials and is much better than what you can find in the check-out line at your local grocery store- no siree this is legit.

My interview this week came at a very inconvenient time. Running behind schedule and not sure what to wear, I showed up a good 10 minutes late. Out of breath and slightly sweaty, I sat down for the weekly interview- I'd prepared a few answers for the questions I knew that the interviewer was sure to ask and I brought a few pictures to show as well.

The interview was held as a small Swedish cafe and, once I settled in at the table, I ordered a cup of strong coffee and then embarassingly had to cancel that order and get tea instead.

Now that I've set the scene, here's this week's interview:

Vivogue Rep: Hello, Vivian. It's good to see you. You look amazing like always- albeit a little out of breath and slightly sweaty- but amazing nonetheless.
Vivian: (sipping tea, tasting its weakness and making a face) Bleh. What was that?

Vivogue Rep: I said you look amazing.
Vivian: Oh, thanks- I couldn't decide between the Chanel gown or the Dior suit, so I just settled for khakis and a t-shirt.

Vivogue Rep: That's nice, dear... Okay, so- bring us up to speed with how your week is going.
Vivian: Well, it's been simply amazing. I've gotten a chance to finish two paintings and have started an underpainting for a third. See?

Vivogue Rep: So, your theme this past week was 'houses'. What's your theme for this next week?
Vivian: Well, I am starting a 'still life' theme. I know that one painting that I am going to do this week is of a few old chairs that are in the house. Sounds lame, but it should be cool.

Vivogue Rep: Yeah it does [sound lame] but hopefully it turns out well. Anything else?
Vivian: Yeah, there's a bunch of limes in the fridge, so I think I'll do a scene with some limes and a red chili pepper that's been sitting by the stove for a few days. I like the vibrant complimentary colors.

Vivogue Rep: Cool. Cool. Did you bring photos of paintings you've finished this week?
Vivian: Yep. (shows pictures)

Vivogue Rep: Okay, good. Enough about art. Our readers are interested in hearing about any men in your life.
Vivian: That's for me to know and you to find out.

Vivogue Rep: Some say that you just went on this trip to find a suitable boyfriend. Is that true?
Vivian: If I wanted a boyfriend, I'd have one by now- trust me. I don't need to go on a big search around the world for a guy- that would be a waste of precious time, energy, and money. Nope. I am single for a reason and I plan to stay that way while I am on this trip.

End of Discussion.

Vivogue Rep: Ok, Jeez. Calm Down.
Vivian: I AM CALM!

Vivogue Rep: Tell us what you've learned about yourself this week.
Vivian: According to my cousin Sofia, I make this 'doooooh' noise (kind of like Homer Simpson) whenever I drop something or come close to disaster. Oh, and I like gummy candies shaped like eggs.

Vivogue Rep: That's underwhelming.
Vivian: You asked.

Vivogue Rep: Well, look at the time. That does it for this week, tune in next week for another edition of Vivogue's Exclusive Interview with Vivian.
