So we have the main man himself (yes I cackled when I typed that) Mr Romance 2009, Charles Paz here for the day. Charles truly is one of a kind, even if he likes a certain UFC fighter that I refuse to name on my blog & got me flustered a few times.
It was a real hardship going through Charles’ pictures let me tell you, I think I may have even blushed a few times..we all know that never happens to this Pixie. I left a bit out of our interview, Charles had me chatting about all sorts of things, which was pretty cool.
So welcome Charles to Wicked Lil Pixie & ladies try & behave yourselves.
WLP: Lets start out a little easy here, Jager or Vodka or Tequila?
CP: Uhm, ALL THREE!!!! JAGER BOMBS, RED BULL/VODKA and SHOTS OF PATRON!!!!
WLP: Coffee or Tea?
CP: Tea. Like the ones they sell in LONG ISLAND. Hahahaa
WLP: MMA or Boxing?
CP: MMA without a doubt. Very exciting and I might train and be one
**(Charles then decided to name his favorite UFC fighter, thus losing Pixie Points.)**
WLP: Lefty or Righty?
CP: Depends on what Im doing *evil Grin*
**(thus is the start Charles trying to get me not to behave)**
WLP: Favorite Cartoon?
CP: Favorite Cartoon is probably Family Guy. That is some funny shit man! They always pushing the boundaries
WLP: Last song downloaded?
CP: Hmmm…. I let my bro download stuff on his Ipod and then take it. Hahaha. I think he had some Lady GaGa remixes and techno added. Its great gym music.
WLP: Are you still a romance novel virgin?
CP: YES!! I am a Virgin. I’ll be honest. I have terrible reading comprehension. No joke, and I can admit it. I can’t grasp books when I read them. Back in High School, the teachers taught me this technique to where I literally re-wrote the book page by page to understand the story. Its not something I am ashamed to admit. Like I said, I am honest and not gonna blow smoke up peoples asses. Hahaha.
WLP: Tell me about your perfect woman.
CP: Perfect woman? Oh man if only there was one. If you read the latest issue of RT BOOK REVIEWS, I said I had the perfect woman. And then by the time the interview came out, she broke up with me. Hahaha. Shitty huh? Anyways, perfect woman has to be someone I connect with. Not be jealous. Looks don’t mean much at all. I’d rather be with someone who makes me smile, happy and feel like I can conquer the world rather than someone who looks like a model and stuck on themselves. They must be able to handle me. Hahah, I am a lil complicated, but aren’t we all? Gotta love family and get along with mine. I don’t discriminate on what types of women because I love them all, but I am a sucker for a LATINA!!! Hahaha
**(Grab a copy of the magazine. The picture is awesome, I mean interview.)**
WLP: Among the Mr. Romance competitors at RT Con, is there a sense that what they’re doing is campy or are they serious?
CP: I can’t speak for this years guys because I wasn’t a competitor. I did my own workshops and signings and meet n greets, so I didn’t get to see how the guys were doing most of the time. I think that the guys were under the impression to make sure the people have a great time and be ‘GOOD’ while doing it. They weren’t looking to talk just to PUBLISHERS or even HIGHER UPS to get some book covers. They talked and mingled with everyone there. I don’t believe that they thought this would be the best thing in their lives as far as SERIOUSNESS goes, but they did handle it with class and respect for the attendees. It wasn’t a joke, it was a competition and a way to break into the industry for book covers. Just like the authors take their work serious, so do these guys. We represent ourselves and to take this as a joke, would not have got us anywhere.
WLP: Tell me about the weirdest date you’ve been on.
CP: Ok Ok Ok, Hmm…… Weirdest date? I don’t really have them. Oh, there was this time, In band camp, lol. Well, me and this girl kinda started seeing each other. During the date, she was texting alot. Eh, Its a no no, but cool. Eventually we went to the bar and her ex was there. It turns out, the whole time on our date, she was texting him!!! And waiting to meet up with him. Don’t think that’s weird as much as FUCKED UP!! Hahaha. Never again. You women are EVIL I SAYS!!!!
**(If he only knew how evil. See how well behaved I’ve been. I deserve a medal)**
WLP: What does a normal day for you look like?
CP: Typical day is answering emails, Training (of course), editing pics and shooting models (No, he doesn’t mean that kinda shooting ladies. Charles is also a photographer). I’m a very simple and boring person. Hahaha, no doubt. No girlfriend, and I’m not really chasing anyone, so I have lots of free time. When I was in a relationship, it was SOOOO different. I’d actually do all my day stuff AND anything needed for my girl. Like make her lunches, make sure she had everything for school, etc etc. I have been going out more a lot lately. The single life will do that to ya. Clubbing and BBQ’s as well. Lots of girls interested in me, but I’m totally not ready to jump into something. Ya know? I’m still freshly heart broken. Awwwww… lol
**(see he’s trying to milk me for sympathy ladies, guess I shouldn’t have used the word milk eh? Charles is a world class flirt, so you gotta be careful what you say.)**
CP: Yes!! I want much sympathy and shoulders to cry on…
**(See what I mean? *snort*)**
WLP: The ladies must know, boxers or briefs?
CP: Hmm, Depends on where I am going and what I am doing *evil grin. I actually wear boxer briefs most the time and the small bikini briefs for other occasions. If its the morning after a GOOD NIGHT, then its nothing but a smile =-)
**(Where the hell is my medal?! I didn’t even touch that comment!!!)**
WLP: RT 2011 is in LA, are you gracing us with your presence?
CP: RT in LA??? UHM, YES!! I will be there!!!! Been talking to Chris Winters about it.
**(Lawd help me in 2011, I’m going to RT & may be hiding from Charles)**
WLP: Can you dance? Or do you look all spastic *raises eyebrow* (trust me ladies, you need always know if a man can dance. It’s important knowledge)
CP: I think I can dance. Maybe after a few shots of Patron I’m really good!! lol, I don’t do anything crazy, but I do have some rhythm. It comes from the Latin side of me.
**(I’ll believe it when I see it. Everyone thinks they can dance when their drunk.)**
And then Nat totally lost all train of thought…Charles is a talker & we went so off topic. But I had a brilliant idea, what do you all want to know about Charles? He said to ask him anything & I got lost…but I know you all won’t.
So ask him anything, he’ll be around spying & answering!
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by DakotaCassidy, psynde, psynde, Jackie Hussein, Nat and others. Nat said: New Interview: Charles Paz aka Mr Romance 2009 *lawd help me* http://bit.ly/adgId9 [...]
Great interview! I have a question for Charles. What made you decide to compete for Mr Romance 2009 and what opportunities did it open for you by winning? And I would like to know the name of that UFC fighter. ;o)
That fighter will not be named, or I kick Charles.
Hey, Charles! Niiiiiice knit cap ya got there–totally accents your eyes, darling.
Kudos for staying in your color wheel
*snort* you bad.
LOL @ Dakota!
Nat said I should comment, so I am:
1. I’m ambidextrous.
2. I’m Latina.
3. This is a great interview.
4. What do I win?? LOL!
Nat said nothing of the sort, YOU were tweeting questions…I said comment
I have no questions. I’m just going to sit here and drool…I mean stare…I mean reading.
Yes, I will keep READING. *must stop stroking monitor*
How can you see the monitor over that big ol’ humidity hair you’re sporting? *muahah*
gee… I may have forgotten parts of the interview with those pics and my thoughts =P haha…
But really, nice interview- My fave was the dance question… It is a must! ;-P And I am right there with @Dakota!
It all comes down to dance I tell you!
Loved this interview!!! Excellent questions and commentary WLP
and Charles you are a DOLL! (a hot Doll)
Thanks for introducing us to Charles!
RT 2011!
*takes a bow*
LOL between howling and drooling i mean READING this interview i think i need a nap!!!
&& Pixie girl you need many medals! =D
I’ll take cash over medals please. And howling? When did you turn into a were?
Charles, what, for you, has been the best thing about being Mr. Romance 2009? If you had to pick just one thing, that is. With your reading problems, how do you feel about audiobooks? A good thing or not quite as good as the written word?
*see, some of us are high-minded enough not to dwell on just his looks. Um, pay no attention to the drool on the keyboard. I have a reasonable explanation for that. As soon as I think of it, I’ll let you know.*
Blame lack of caffine.
I would agree with Claire on the medals, you deserve a whole box full Nat.
How tall is Mr. Paz? And if he knows how to dance, can he salsa?
Excuse me while I copy/paste that knit hat pict, hay Dios mio!
LMFAO!! If you had picked up June’s RT Magazine, you’d know he’s 5’8
I’m glad you all agree that I deserve something for not turning into my normal wicked self.
OH MY!! I just woke up and came to this, so Ill try to catch up.
First off, Thank you my ‘WICKED LIL PIXIE’ for the interview. Glad I could be a part of this, and you better not HIDE from me at RT LA!!!!
Now to answer some questions:
@TIAH: I took advantage of an opportunity that represented itself so well. And thats why I competed in 2009 for MR.R. I flew to Florida for a tear sheet for RT MAGAZINE and heard about the comp. They sponsered me to come back and compete. OIt was one of the best weeks EVAAHHH!!!! And it didnt open any doors honestly. it didnt get me to the front of the lines at Clubs or even have WOMEN BANGING DOWN MY DOOR!!!! You think MR.ROMANCE could get SOMETHING with that title!! Lol And i dont want WLP to beat me down for saying my fave fighter. Lol
@DAKOTA: *TACKLES AND HUGS* =-)
@JACKIE: You can have what ever you like HAWTNESS!!! =-)
@SEWICKED: The best thing without a doubt is the all the nice and wonderfull people I have been blessed with to meet thorugh this. Trust me, Being on book covers and getting paid would be gret, BUT, Its making the PEOPLE and the FANS HAPPY that matters most to me. Even if i hjust do photoshoots to show off myself and please the fans, im cool with that. Audio books? Hmmm, Never thought of that. Might have to try it. Hopefully the voice sounds like a PHONE SEX OPERATOR. Hahaha
And sorry for all the ruined KEYBOARDS =-P
Ha. YOUR Wicked Lil Pixie? ROTFLMAO!
OH, And add me on Face book for more DROOL WORTHY PRETTY PICTURES =-) Mention this Interview so I know who you guys are

Theres the link =-)
Sorry all, my website is having hardcore slow issues today. Seems to be back to normal now!
Grrrrrrrr
Right hand bottom corner, there’s a reply button so you can reply directly to the comment.
And don’t you growl at me. :p
Testies, uh, I mean Testing. Lol
Oh dear god, what have I gotten myself into. *shakes head*
Great interview. Charles, I’ve read a bunch of your interviews and you’re always so open and sweet that it’s a joy to read them and learn more about you. I can vouch that he has some wonderful pictures on facebook ( I friend requested him… lol ). Sorry about the heartbreak but you’ll find the right woman and then have her READ a romance novel to you. LOL. That’s how I got my ex-boyfriend to ‘read’ my first book I ever wrote since he hated to read anything. I read it to him in the bathtub and… he paid close attention. ( I write erotic romance…LOL ) Have a great day.
Thank you Laurann. I dont pull punches and let my heart out. Some people have said I need to hold back and mold a more ‘perfect’ person, BUT, I am what I am and thats all that I am.
And I wish I had some stock photos for you to spend looking at this weekend. Would be nice to get on one of your covers =-)
@WLP-Thanks for the wicked interview! Great job.
@Charles-Well, I’ve danced behind and in front of you at RT, (I have pics), and just to answer that question for you…Yes, you can dance. And you don’t look like a headless chicken when you do. An admirable quality in a man because, as I found out with my husband (also a good dancer), a man with rhythmn is….well, a lucky find.
I also agree that the gentlemen this year in the Mr.R comp. were very respectful, very enjoyable to be around, and did a great job representing themselves and RT. As a happily married lady who is still friendly (ok, a born flirt and my husband knows it), it was great that, from my personal perspective, they respected the ladies AS ladies.
Well, most of them were ladies. Not the ones who try to strip models on the dance floor without asking. But, for the most part, it was a good atmosphere.
Thanks for the interview WLP and Charles. Best of luck to you both. You’re a lot of fun to read!
HeatherB
Well ya know what they say. If a Guy has moves on the dance floor, then he has moves in the….. *hee hee hee* =-P
Anytime Heather…well no maybe not anytime but thanks LOL
Charles you give a great Interview. Loved the question and the answers were even better. The pictures were icing on the cake…. And i am hungry!!!

I’ll bring the whip cream., if your bring the chocolate syrup…… wink wink

Shall I get you the number to a hotel?
Exactly what I was saying, Charles. lol
[...] Charles Paz, Mr. Romance 2009, by Wicked Little Pixie [...]
Thank you Nat and Charles for such a wonderful interview. And I applaud you Nat for being so very well behaved! The interview was a lot of fun and the pictures…mmm…ya they speak for themselves!
Thanks Amy, LOL it’s amazing isn’t it? It doesn’t happen often either.
She lie. She was more Naughty than I was during this!!
HA! I was nothing of the sort, Amy knows how well behaved I was during this process. Nice try Charles, I didn’t swoon
*snort*
That’s right, I’m gonna have to side with my girl, Nat, on this one!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
See. I was so well behaved it’s been a topic of convo on Twitter. Be amazed Charles, I could have made you cry like a girl
Thanks for the fun interview – I’d be interested in seeing what MMA moves you pick up, Charles.
And much props to Wicked Little Pixie, because he excels and getting a girl flustered… >_<
LOL thanks PJ. He wasn’t as bad as he could have been
*POKES PJ IN THE LEFT BUTT CHEEK*
I enjoyed the interview and comments so I added Charles as a friend of Facebook. And then I went to the pictures…. ladies… HOLY SHIT!! I’m such a sucker for pecs and biceps and I just have to say DAMN, boy! I know, I’m a writer and I should be able to use my words better than that. But damn…. lol….
rotflmao down Jenna!
Glad you like what you see Sweet Thang! More HAWTNESS to come this Summer. Im pushing the Boundries on my Photos, ESPECIALLY My couples ones. You have been warned. Hee hee hee
I look forward to it!!
Weeee heeeee!!=) Me likey the latter part of the boxers or briefs!=) all smiles!
Don;t mind me! ALoha Charles!=) Great interview!
What a bummers to be dumped after saying wondering things to the public about her! Oh well!
UFC!!! WHOOoo hOoOOo!!! I like GSP among many others BUT I do have to support my local boy BJ Penn! I know… sad sad sad loss recently but we still love the guy!
I hate BJ, I’m sorry Chas! He’s all money and show, and pitched too much of a fit when GSP beat him.
ALOHA!!! Now I want some L&L BBQ! Lol. I like GSP as well. Sigh… And you Island people always support BJ no matter how Bad he loses. Still love you for that. Lol
Shoot, forgot to mention!=) I have an award for you! I dont recall seeing you participate in these awards things but I figure regardless I wanted to extend it to you because you’ve got the greatest reviews and postings!
AlOooOoOha!
Aww thanks Chas! Going to check it out now!
Oh, darn. Nekid Charles. What a hardship to HAVE to look at pictures. VBG. If you need a photo editor (raising hand). Just sayin’……I’m very generous with my time for some causes. hehe
HeatherB
Bib?
Charles, there’s NO ONE in the WORLD who writes the way they speak better THAN YOU!!!! I LOVE your use of ALL CAPS! You might not read a lot, but if you compiled all of your blog posts and interviews into a book I think you would have a fun little memoir on your hands. Add your pics, and then you’re talking bestseller!
Andrew
And here I thought he was yelling at me. lol
You should see the posts on my ‘Personal profile’ On FACEBOOK. I had one the other day that was over 80 COMMENTS!! All I said was’ I still havent unpacked from RT and would anyone like to help me?’ Next thing you know, its a ROYAL RUMBLE to see who can fly to California first and help fold my undies!! I swear it really only happens on Facebook. In real life, i gets no Love. =-( *Crias*
They talk a big game online & cower in person. I’ll be your bodyguard at RT, all 5’4 of me. lol
Aww. *pets* I’ll help Natasha out at RT too. Wait… I’m 6’0, you really wouldn’t get any love in person. I have tattoos and am scary.
That’s why i’m hanging with you LOL! Plus if I get arrested, your old skool police chica cred will get me out faster. muahaha.
Ohh sorry Andrew we totally hijacked your comment.
Oh, yeah, Andrew. My apologies.
I’m a talker.
Charles i live in cali i don’t have to fly to you, i can just drive. Oh and we wont be spending our time unpacking ””””Naughty lil smirk””””’
Becareful what you ask for “Charles says— (I gets no Love)
I gots lots of lovin to give ya ”””’ Passionate Kisses””””’
Charles- Look at you trying to get us to misbehave! *shakes head and sighs* That was kind of poopy what your girl did, both cases. The texting and the interveiw. If it will make you feel better to read my dating woes, go ahead and look up the Goliath incident on this blog. Yeah. WLP told me I should write a book about all of my bad dates.
I really liked how honest you were in the interview. That’s good stuff. My daughter is dyslexic and it’s encouraging to see other people who have trouble with reading or comprehension succeed.
Your pictures are great, but you knew that. Maybe we’ll get you in some red leather pants as my Cupid for my third book. *wink* You’re a doll!
Love you Chica, NO ONE makes me laugh as hard as you do. God help all the poor souls at RT when we are together & drinking. How many do you think will cry by the end of it?
*mwah* Oh, all of them. You think I’m outspoken now? Hell. This is filtered Saranna, so you get a few Jaeger bombs or Vodkas in me and I’ll say whatever happens to pop in my head.
We must go out far away from CON land to a rock bar, they won’t cry.
Hehee. Oh YES. And not so much damn estrogen. I love my homeslice writer pals, but I fit in better with boys. Too much time kicking cages, I guess. LOL
We need to stay in one comment thread, shit we should have our own post of just us chatting. I’d loose followers out the ying yang LMFAO
Trying to Mis-Behave? Who? Me?? *Puppy dog eyes*
UGH!!! The ‘Ex-Fiance’ situation. Im over it. I really am. Me and other friends have this joke on facebook saying my status should be from ENGAGED to WIDOWED because she is dead to me now. HAHAHA!! I couldnt stop laughing. I am alot better now, than I was a month ago though. RT was a great escape and much needed. im glad it came at the time it did. Things do happen for a reason =-)
Hmmm…. Red Leather pants eh? *evil grin*
Hey, no whipping out the puppy dog eyes. I’ve got them too. (They work every time, don’t they? *grin*)
I’m thrilled to hear you’re doing better. I believe that too, everything does happen for a reason. It moves us to new places and new doors open. Our experiences make us who we are and prepare us for other things to come. It was a long road to get to be who I am today, but I wouldn’t change any of it because it would change me. So chalk it up to a lesson learned.
Or date her sister. (Just kidding. Maybe. No, really. Kidding.)
*DIES LAUGHING* And she has Two of them =-P
Pixie and Paz: ¡Consiga un cuarto!
LMFAO! No thank you, I’m fine in this room.
Mr. Romance I can help you move forward dear……”devilish smile” wink wink
Sigh… Im so Vulnerable and lonely =-(
I have everything you need, soft loving arms to hug you with, and a big heart to feel for you, and tender lips to kiss your worries away. The rest i can’t say on here “Blushing”
oxox
