Once again I’ve asked Dakota Cassidy to bless you all with her presence & believe me she thinks she’s blessing you all.
DC: Blessing? I thought you said DRESSING. Huge difference, but it’s to be expected from a girl who doesn’t know the diff between LOOSE and LOSE
WLP: Welcome back Homeslice, nice to know I’ve survived the trauma you put me through all this year and have came back for more.
DC: Thanks for having me again, and I put you through nothing you didn’t bring on yourself. I merely wish to broaden your vocabulary and contextual suckage. LOLLOL!
WLP: Okay, tell us about You Dropped a Blonde on Me
DC: It’s a book…
WLP: No shit it’s a book. Tell us ABOUT what’s IN the book. So sorry for not speaking clearly enough for you to catch on to that.
DC: S’aaiiight, ‘Slice. I know you lack the finesse of a good communicator. I was keeping it simple for you. However, I’m happy to embellish. You Dropped A Blonde On Me is a brand new contemporary series about ex-trophy wives who’ve gone the way of the Doh-Doh bird and become too old for their rich ex-spouses. They’ve been traded in for newer, hotter, harder-ab’d chicks and left broke. Like totally broke. They’re all in pre-nup hell.
The first heroine is Maxine Cambridge, and she’s so broke, she and her son Connor have to move into a retirement village with her mother in order to survive. But Maxine’s determined to make her own way in the world–and while that means begging for jobs even a 16 year old wouldn’t want, it doesn’t mean she wants to regain her former riches. What she really wants is to stand on her own two feet. That isn’t easy when you have the job skills of a preschooler and a son to feed. She’s also pretty sure marriage is a “never again” deal for her. Well, until Campbell Barker, former high school classmate and all round hottie shows up…
WLP: What’s up next for you in 2011? Bookwise in case that wasn’t clear enough for you Madam Snarky. Torturing your new husband & your children do not count either.
DC: If torture isn’t involved, then I have absolutely nothing to report… LMAO! Actually, next up is Accidentally Catty in March 2011—a vet, turns into a cougar stereotype—like literally, and the second in the contemp series, Burning Down The Spouse is out in July, I think. This contemp deals with an ex-trophy wife once married to famous celeb chef, Mitch In The Kitchen. He cheats on her with Bamby’s Bakin’—and let’s just say this—there’s a reason the word “burning” is in the title!
WLP: Dakota is a Christmas FREAK people, FREAK. Tell the people how many Christmas trees you set up in your house?
DC: Only one, but I decorate every single surface I can touch. I have greenery on every armoire, countertop, and toilet seat
WLP: Speaking of Christmas trees, Dakota LOST one in her house…have you found it yet?
DC: I told you—it was in the forest with his buddies getting high and boozing. It’s pressure to be pretty for an entire month while people oh and ah over you, yes?
WLP: What kinds of food to you serve for Christmas?
DC: I-Hop J No, I kid. Usually I do a prime rib or a tenderloin roast with shrimp or lobster. This year the hubby has to work both Christmas Eve and day—so not sure what I’ll be making. Maybe Hungry Man
WLP: Do you have any holiday traditions?
DC: If you wanna see Dec 26th you have to buy me something pretty? No. Again, I kid J We almost always do Christmas Eve dinner out somewhere really nice, but nothing too strict in the way of traditions.
WLP: Favorite Christmas Movie or Favorite Christmas Song?
DC: Fave song of all time is Silent Night by Johnny Mathis. NO ONE does it like him!
WLP: What is the worst gift you have given some poor innocent?
DC: Darling? This is me. I don’t give bad gifts—evah. EVAH. LOL
WLP: What’s the worst gift you have ever been given? (I’m afraid, someone hold me)
DC: You don’t want to hear about my monthly subscription to Larry’s House of Tattoos and Brews? Sissy…
WLP: Thanks for stopping by ‘Slice…I think…you scare me….
DC: Thanks for having me, doll—and I so do not scare you. If I do, yer a panty waste. LOLLOL! Hugs, honey!

I’m not a fan of country Christmas songs and some of the weird remixes some people do of the originals. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway Dakota and congrats on the new release!
Thanks, Jeanette!
Great interview. “It’s a book” LMAO!
The Christmas song I hate is Mary Did You Know. I don’t know why. I guess because I think yes, Mary did know.
Thanks for today’s chuckle. That was a great interview. As for Xmas songs, to be honest, I pretty much hate them all, so it probably isn’t fair to single any particular one out. Since I try to avoid them whenever possible, I’m not even sure that I’ve heard most of the ones already mentioned (or maybe I’ve heard them and just wiped out that memory?).
That D#** chipmunk song with someone screaming at Alvin!!! I scramble to turn it off whenever it comes on Pandora or the car radio!!!
I really really don’t like the Chipmunk song either CC (it’s Christmas Christmas time of year time to kill chipmunk everywhere) but I really DON’T likeI saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, I mean really… Have you ever listened to it… from a kid singing.. it’s sick and it sounds like the kid thinks its cute mom is easy.
Just trashin’ my songs left and right, eh, Mindy? LOL I have to say, I’ve never looked at it quite that way… However, I sort of see yer point. Thanks for stopping by!
Mommy Kissing Santa Claus would be high my Christmas Songs I Hate list. Actually, at this point in the month I can’t stand any Christmas music. I work in a hotel so from the moment Thanksgiving is over till 11:59pm on December 25th it’s nothing but Christmas music that plays. ALL THE TIME! It should be considered a form of torture.
Hey babe… least favorite Christmas song… gonna have to go with, (Sleep in Heavenly Peace) Silent Night.
Yeah, I know.
One & done baby! One & done, (this prolly guarantees it).
Everyone, thank you, thank you! You were all terrific for popping in–even if you did trash some songs for life for me. LOLLOL!
hugs all ’round!
DC
Mommy Kissing Santa Claus would be high my Christmas Songs I Hate list.
Then the new POP songs, on Xmas.
Hilarious interview! I love how the two of you riff off of each other and have such great banter. I’m a fan of the Accidentally series myself. And congrats, Dakota on your new contemporary release. I’ll be adding it to my Christmas list!
I consider myself a realist, but others might see it as more cynical and slightly pessimistic. But, something happens to me right around December 1st. I love the winter! I love the cold! I love the snow! (when we get it) I love fires in the fireplace and baking cookies and Christmas songs!
I know, it’s an obsession that I can’t get rid of. All this is to say that there are not too many Christmas songs that I HATE. Though, I will say that The Twelve Days of Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer are not high on my list. Oh the repetition in the first one. Plus, it’s a bit obnoxious to be constantly repeating all the FAB gifts you’ve got. I mean, not everyone has a true love that will package up a wad of lords o leaping. And, the second. Bullying much?
Happy Holidays all! and thanks WLP for this celebration!
Silver and Gold it’s an old song and should stay burried!
Love your interview.
I love most Christmas songs but I really despise the Chipmunk song – can’t switch the station fast enough!!
smaccall @ comcast.net
I can do without “Chrissy the Christmas mouse” I mean WTF???
Hmm… A Christmas song I hate? Is ‘Auld Lang Syne’ considered one? I mean, it’s a holiday song and all. The song just makes me sad rather than look forward to the new year. OH! I just thought of one! The song ‘I’ll be Home for Christmas’. Maybe cause it was sung in an ep of Facts of Life when they went to a prison? That and the idea of soldiers wishing they were home. It’s just a really depressing song, you know?
I like most Christmas songs, especially O Holy Night sung by Josh Groban. What I can’t stand is a cd my kids bought for me many years ago with cats “singing” the christmas carols. Meow Meow Meow – omg it got on my nerves so bad because they played it over and over again. They thought it was a riot and would ROFL every time they listened to it!
I’m not big on a lot of the traditional Christmas songs, but anything sung by Elvis is my favorite.
Fabulous interview…and I owe you a tiara picture, but I’ve lost my boa.
Maybe Santa will being me a new one
That Alvin and the chipmunks Christmas song. it’s like nails on a chalkboard lol Can live without that one.
Lisa B
Christmas Cancan by Straight No Chaser makes me shudder now when I hear it cause I heard it over and over last year.
I really dislike all Christmas music. But I would go with anything the popstars nowadays have remade. Horrendous.
If I hear “Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer” one more time, grandma and that damn reindeer are in deep trouble.
White Christmas…don’t know why but every time I hear it I cringe.
Great interview by the way.
I agree with someone above who said the chipmunk Christmas songs uggh they give me a headache
Dakota—I like Christmas songs! Though I’ve been listening to them a lot (since Thanksgiving) I’m not tired of any yet this year. I even still listen to the Chipmunks squeaking and Grandma being run over by a reindeer. There is, however, one stanza in the Andy Williams song, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, that always makes me go Huh? When he sings of “marshmallows for roasting…and scary ghost stories,” I always wonder if he knew all those years ago that nowadays retailers would have Christmas decorations out in October? Spooky!
Deck the Halls is annoying with all those falala’s.
Definitely the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song.
The Christmas song I hate is Santa Baby. Christmas should be about children and Santa Claus, I don’t want to hear about what some hooker wants from her sugar daddy.
I cannot stand the Chipmunks Christmas song. OMG that gets stuck in your head!
Hate is such a big word to be used in connection to Christmas but to pick one that drives me to change the channel is that “Santa Baby” song. I’m not sure of the lady that sings it but she just has a very annoying voice. Thanks for the great interview & contest. You are a new author to me so I’ll have to add you to my list
Happy upcoming New Years.
