Yay for AJ!! here are a couple off the top of my head:

if you could trade lives with anyone who would it be?

if someone offered to tell you your future 10 years from now, would you want to know?

how many boys have you smooched?

Andrea Julia · Coach

Yay for AJ!! here are a couple off the top of my head:

if you could trade lives with anyone who would it be?

Paris Hilton. Say what you want about her, but she is always having a GOOD TIME!

if someone offered to tell you your future 10 years from now, would you want to know?

Hmm...not sure if I would want to know, but once it was offered, I would HAVE to say yes. Even if I kind of didn't want to know. Just because if I knew there was a way to know, I would go crazy wondering.

ok follow up questions:

if you were Paris Hilton, would your feelings be hurt by all the bad things people say about her? strange question i know but i guess what i'm trying to get at is would you try to "clear your name" and tell your side of the story or would you just let people say whatever and not care?

so now that you're in front of the fortune teller--what do you really want to hear about where you'll be 10 years from now? what's your fantasy future, so to speak?

ok kissing bandit, which kiss was the absolute best? absolute worst? describe both.

rocky · Coach

What was your major in college?

Have you ever dyed your hair any cool color?

Andrea Julia · Coach

I think I wouldn't care so much. I'm sure the people that matter to her don't agree with the negative things people say. I equate it to hearing that someone that I either don't know or know but think is a loser said something bad about me.

so now that you're in front of the fortune teller--what do you really want to hear about where you'll be 10 years from now? what's your fantasy future, so to speak?

I would like to hear that I am rich, not working, and married.

ok kissing bandit, which kiss was the absolute best? absolute worst? describe both.

I can't think of the absolute best. No clue. I just always think the guy I am currently dating is the best. For worst, I would have to say anyone that I didn't really want to be kissing but felt compelled to do so, like a guy I was dating that I wanted to break up with or on a second date with a guy I kissed on the first date that I didn't like anymore. The first still happens to me, but I know better than thinking I have to kiss a guy just because I've already kissed him.

Karina · Chanel

when you were little, what did you think you'd be when you "grew up" ?

what are the last 3 things you can think of that you regretted

what is your favorite place in the world to visit and why?

Andrea Julia · Coach

1) How often do you use your creativity in marketing vs. routines and meetings

n/m

2) Name 5 things about your style that nobody knows yet.

1. I always wear longer tops because I feel like my body looks unbalanced with shorter shirts. And I just think they look cute! 2. Anytime I buy something cheap or something at an outlet, I regret it. 3. I really have no consistent style. It all depends on who I want to be that day. 4. I love cute skirts from Anthropologie. 5. ?

3) Did you get any formal marketing training?

I took several marketing classes when I was working on my Associates in Business. I also wrote marketing copy and promotional e-mails when I was an Editorial Assistant.

Where's the coolest place you've ever been?

Egypt.

What was your major in college?

I have an A.S. in Business and a B.A. in Political Science.

Have you ever dyed your hair any cool color?

Not really. I used to have some great highlights, but they were just shades of brown.

If you could change your name, would you? What would you change it to?

Nah...As a child, I used to want to change my name to Isabella, Natasha, or anything I thought princessy-sounding. I don't think I would change my name at this point though.

Is there one place and time you wish you could go back to and relive?

Ancient Egypt. I don't think I would want to stay there though!

when you were little, what did you think you'd be when you "grew up" ?

An actress.

what are the last 3 things you can think of that you regretted.

1. Getting drunk at my birthday party. I didn't do anything stupid, but I'm starting to think I'm at the age where being drunk isn't attractive at all. Also, I woke up the next morning with kind of a blurry recollection of the night and it wasn't until I spoke to 3 of my friends who told me I didn't do or say anything stupid that I stopped feeling uneasy. 2. Dating a guy friend's friend and not having the guts to dump him the right way. I lost that friend because of it. 3. Watching My Fair Brady yesterday. That's a half hour of my life I'll never get back!

what is your favorite place in the world to visit and why?

Egypt! I love the culture there. I thought I would really like the pyramids and ancient stuff and I did, but I was really surprised how much I liked modern Egypt. The markets, shows, and people are tons of fun.

describe your perfect guy.

your favorite book & why

Maddie · Coach

What are 5 things you'd never tell your mom about?

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

What would you name your children?

honey · Gucci

if you were planning your wedding what would be theme song/song for the first dance?

if you woke up tomorrow and could do one thing you really, really wanted to do what would you pick? to make it harder you have to pick something that can only be done in a day/relatively short time frame, and it can't include shopping.

if you were making a mix tape for your true love, what would you put on it?

Maddie · Coach

Oooh I love your questions, honey!

Andrea Julia · Coach

do you have any pets?

My family has 3 dogs.

describe your perfect guy.

Romantic, fun, spontaneous, analytical and deep-the type of person you can have long conversations about anything and everything with, not too wrapped up in his career, not responsible in a boring way (like, he is responsible enough to keep a job and pay his bills and save some money, but not not so responsible that he wouldn't want to blow money that really should be saved on a fun trip or a good meal. Like if he were to answer the question, "would you rather buy a house and have to stay home every night to pay the mortgage and stay home every weekend to take care of it or live in a small condo, but be able to go anywhere and do anything we want?", I would want him to answer the latter), and genuinely caring.

your favorite book & why

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I like Dave Eggers' writing style. I like how he kind of goes off on tangents when he is writing and I think he is very emotionally honest.

What are 5 things you'd never tell your mom about?

n/m

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Greece

What would you name your children?

I'm not really sure. I never really think about this.

if you were planning your wedding what would be theme song/song for the first dance?

I don't think I want a traditional wedding, but I think I Wanna Love You Forever by Jessica Simpson is pretty romantic, so I'll go with that.

if you woke up tomorrow and could do one thing you really, really wanted to do what would you pick? to make it harder you have to pick something that can only be done in a day/relatively short time frame, and it can't include shopping.

Get my friends together and go back to the fondue restaurant I went to on my birthday!

if you were making a mix tape for your true love, what would you put on it?

Hmm...if such a person existed, I would probably want to put songs that represented our relationship, but here are some songs I would consider putting on there. I want to preface this by saying I realize my taste in music sucks!:

1. I Wanna Love You Forever-Jessica Simpson

2. Color Blind-Counting Crows

3. Dangerously in Love-Beyonce

4. Runaway-The Corrs

5. Foo Fighters-Times Like This

6. With You-Jessica Simpson

Hmm...that was harder than I thought. Most of the songs I like don't relate to happy relationships!

Describe your happy place.

Andrea Julia · Coach

what was the first concert that you went to?

I think it was Michael Jackson with my mom. The first concert I chose to go to was New Kids on the Block.

what was your first cd?

New Kids on the Block Christmas album and Kriss Kross. I bought them the same day as my first CD player.

if you could take one aspect from a sitcom character's life, and put it into your real life, who would it be, and what would you want from the character's life?

I'll come back to this. I don't really watch much TV. If I do, I watch a movie or something silly on Comedy Central or MTV.

what is your favorite/least favorite thing about living in nj?

Favorite: all of my friends and family live in the area. Least favorite: The cold!

if new years was tomorrow, what your your new years resolution be?

To go back to the gym. My gym closed at the beginning of the summer and instead of finding a new gym, I just got out of the routine. I think with each day it becomes harder to go back.

Would you change the way you are now to be very very rich and overweight?

Would I be able to lose the weight? If so, yes, of course. I would take advantage of all that money and get the best chefs and personal trainers to help me diet. If I had to stay overweight, I wouldn't do it.

Would you go to work naked for a million dollars?

I don't think I physically could bring myself to do it as much as I would be pissed at myself for not doing it. Maybe if everyone at work knew beforehand why I was doing it. I don't like feeling embarrassed.

Would you shave off your eyebrows for $800,000?

Sure.

Would you rather have a driver, an assistant or a chef working for you?

Ohhh, hard one. Definitely not a driver. I don't mind driving. I like the idea of a chef because I loooovvveee to eat. I guess an assistant because he or she could take care of all the things I don't feel like doing and they could pick up food from places I like as well.

DO you see the glass half empty or half full?

Depends on the day. I have crazy mood swings. Half full today.

First kiss---describe.

Ewwww! It was when I was 13. I was dating this guy who really wanted to be with my friend (everyone did back then), but she was dating one of his friends. He went to kiss me and I was just expecting a little kiss, but he gave me full on tongue. He took over my mouth with his tongue. It was pretty disgusting.

Do you have a secret crush on anyone?

n/m

Oldest and youngest guy you ever dated (biggest age difference)

The youngest was 19 when I was 22. The oldest was 33 when I was 19.

Describe your happy place.

Someplace warm, with beaches and plenty of things to do and see, where I can do whatever I want whenever I want, with no boring responsibilities or stress, where I can sit around sipping margaritas and bellinis all day and go out to the best restaurants and parties at night.
