I like to ask questions.
On Friday night, in an attempt to learn more about several of my Asheville bloggas, I started throwing out random questions, or as Ash noted, pinning people to the wall like so many butterfly specimens.
One ask was this: if you could snap your fingers and immediately become any living person, who would you be?
The answers included Oprah, Robin Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Depp, the Internet dude who put his photo on top of the Eiffel Tower, and Martha Stewart (you don’t have to do the jail time, you get to become her as she is today).
And who did I chose? She can sing, she can dance. She’s beautiful, sexy, set financially, and hangs with some very cool guys. Here she is:
So who would you be?
P.S. You must choose a person, a living person (we’ll do dead folks another day). I.e., you may not choose to become that black leather bra.
Chris Evert – formerly one of the best tennis players in the world; gets to travel around the world commenting on tennis; when at home married to hunky Andy Mill (former skier) with three gorgeous boys; still cute as a button
JK Rowling! Why not?
Cheesy as it sounds, I would be myself.
i would be Halle Berry. post that picture, please, EM.
and you, innocent, EM? yeah, right.
EM
It will come as no surprise to you that i have not clue who this hot babe is. It would be a toss up: condeleza rice, so i could talk some sense into the Prez or Natalie from the Dixie Chicks. Wouldn’t it be fun to be able to sing like that AND rage on the prez at the same time? Oh wait. I have a third- a total fluff – Faith Hill. i could sing (sort of) AND get to sleep with hot Tim McGraw.
Okay, first to i.d. the babe for Walker gets a big kiss…from Rio.
believe it’s Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas – and I’ll happily kiss Walker (’cause she cooks good enough that she deserves lots of kisses!). (plus – I can certainly appreciate the Faith Hill comment)
I know who I’d be, in an instant, but I fear telling would only get me in trouble….
i like your choice, but did you think about what type of blogger she would be?
I would be Johnny Depp. Unless I were Vanessa Paradis so that I could do Johnny Depp.
Nope, I’d be Johnny Depp.
Johnny Depp, savvy?
I honestly can’t think of anyone else I would want to be. Definitely not anyone famous! So I guess I would want to be me, only better
Definitely Hugh Jackman. It would be awesome to be in X3, kickin’ ass! The only other one I could think of would be whoever Jessica Biel is dating at the time!
and about the picture, I’m wondering who got the picture of my wife in her underwear….
kelly ripa…..but only if i could keep my own kids… and give hers to my ex…
t.
I’m going to work through these posts…
Chris Evert…Huge nose…eating disorder.
JK Rawlings…yawn (you can be anybody)
S.C….who are you…
Halle Berry…we should all strive to be hit n run drivers.
Condi’s cool…Natalie Maines is a fat little whiner…
Johnny Depp…we should all strive to be creepy…
Hugh jackman is gay…as gay as the day is long.
Kelly Ripa…really? Have fun with that sitcom….
and being Regis’s sloppy seconds after Katie Lee…
I’d be the biggest (straight) man whore out there…
Also, are you sure that’s not a picture of that coke head Kate Moss…
Does that mean your Deuce Bigalow,Q? Plus Hugh Jackman is married.
I stand by my first choice.
Bill Clinton.
Maybe Sandra Bullock? LOL It’s hard to really think of who I’d want to be. She’s got a goofy sense of humor like I do, so maybe that’s why she popped into my head.
That is sexy! Grrrr. I think if I were doing it today, I’d want to be Angelina Jolie. She’s sexy, and has the time and money to volunteer and help people, travel, and spend time with her cute kids.
Hey ptaak!
Tom Cruise has been married twice and is engaged right now…he’s as gay as it gets…Hugh Jackman gay…watch him
when he’s not playing a role…
Did someone say Sandra Bullock!? She is perhaps the over rated actress/looking woman on the face of the planet…
She’s horrible….
Actually after seeing U2 Friday night…Bono seems to be living large…maybe I’ll be Bono…there! Done…now I’m Bono, I love the internet….
Gotta weigh in on the Hugh Jackman issue – he’s been married for over 10 years and only acted as a gay man on Broadway, and he and his wife have adopted two kids. Hugh’s not Colin Firth, but I can only hope to have some dreams about him too.
bill gates…id liquidate my holdings and spend my billions building a giant stone pyramid in the middle of the american desert…
Hmmmm, Didn’t Bono just sell his soul to IPOD? I’d rather be a fat whiner that hasn’t sold out.
This is a good one – I think I would be Pierce Brosnan.
I think an Irish or Scottish accent is always a hit here in America.
And if Alec Baldwin hadn’t put on so much weight, I would trade places with him any day – he is married to Kim Freakin’ Basinger!
And isn’t that a picture of Fergie? At first I thought it was Carmen Electra – then I looked at her face.
Yes, Fergie, Fergie. I just want her voice. Okay, and maybe the fake boobs. Until they start leaking.
Q., you are hilarious. Our family rocks.
I would be Gwen Stefani….

I started studding my bras with rhinestones, altering clothing to look like something Gwen would wear, and red lipstick became my number one love the first time I ever saw her. I think it was the “I’m just a girl” video on MTV that did it. What girl wouldn’t want to be her?
Tom Cruise was married for 9 years….
Bono sellout…whatever…
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger have been divorced for a while and are in the middle of a nasty custody battle…
Carmen Electra is sooooooo hot!
You want to talk sellout!? Carmen Electra’s husband Dave Navarro….He kicked ass in Jane’s Addiction all those years and now he’s hosting half ass reality TV shows…that’s selling out…
Ohhhh, Tea. I wanna stud my bras with rhinestones. Do you have a studder?
Oh, and weighing in on the gay issue. I have four, yes, four, friends, all formerly married, all with kids, all in Asheville, all of whom have come out of the closet in the past two years. Being married does not mean you’re not gay or bi. Though I think gender is a continuum anyway.
I had to read back through these comments – so funny!
I have a Be-Dazzler, EM.
You can borrow it.
If you ask nicely.
And give me a gender-spectrum kiss afterwards.
