Every time I compete in a pageant, one of the hot item questions is about a role model. Well, I have to admit, I have a lot more not-so-good role models than good ones. I think when we reach a certain age, you have to start looking for people to teach you to be sassy and witty. Lucky for me, my mom is one of those people. There are also some others and you might be surprised to find out who they are.
1. Zen mama - That would be my mom. Sometimes my mom is frustratingly calm. This I don't always love....it's easier to be hoppin' mad when others are as well. Other times, my mom has Jessica moments (extremely rare but comfortingly hilarious when they happen) that make me feel so much more normal than I usually do.
2. Chelsea Lately - if you don't like her, I'm not sure if we can be friends. I pretty much want to be her when I grow up. Have you ever watched her show? It definitely depends on who's on the roundtable (my favs are Josh Wolf, Lonnie Love, and Joe Koy - if these three are ever on together it's comedy gold!) but it's pretty much laugh out loud funny every night.
3. Kelly Ripa - I don't know why everyone hates her. I love her. She's funny, quick, and she's a great mom. Plus she ran off and eloped to Las Vegas and is still in love and married which I think is pretty impressive after 3 kids.
4. Kathy Griffin - Yes, she has been kicked off of every network and every talk show but who else will teach you how to harass people while still smiling and feeding your mother her daily box of wine?
5. Stalker Sean - No, he has no filter, no sense of censorship, and no idea just how inappropriate he is....but he does it anyway. I guess if you're going to do something, own it, right?
I encourage everyone to pick at least one completely inappropriate role model and shape some aspect of your life in their image. It's fun....no one wants to be good all the time. You'll never have any friends that way.
