FULL NAME: Denise Claire Worthington Winslow
GENDER: liberated female
BIRTHDAY: January 27, 1808

THUNDERSTORMS - COOL OR SCARY?: I am not on speaking terms with thunderstorms because they do not do what I say.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? May I decline to answer? I may not. Well then, yes. I have. Tall, buff, blond, and exceedingly gorgeous he was. Until he was pickled in seawater for one hundred-twenty years.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? That depends entirely on the glass. A champagne flute, sadly half empty. A coca-cola glass, disgustingly half-full.
PICK A SONG THAT DESCRIBES YOURSELF OR THAT YOU CAN RELATE TO: A song that describes my unique character has not yet been written. However, �I Did It My Way� might be apropos.
ARE YOU A RIGHTY A LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTEROUS? That is a rudely personal question. I may choose to slap you with whatever hand is in nearest proximity to your face.

t.h.e..f.u.t.u.r.e

SCHOOL: I know everything that I need to know. How or where I learned it is inconsequential.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARSRicher, more dazzlingly gorgeous, and twenty-nine years old.
HOME: As I said, homes are distasteful to globetrotters
NUMBER OF KIDS: Two children, seven officially recognized grandchildren, and one grand-sheep is quite enough for any career woman, thank you very much.

h.a.v.e..y.o.u..e.v.e.r..?

BROKEN THE LAW: That is purely subjective. In my mind, whatever I do is legal.
RAN AWAY FROM HOME: How can one run away from home when one has no home?
CHEATED ON A TEST: Someone with my brilliant mind never needs to stoop to such things. In other words, none of your business.
HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Yes, if bringing two irresponsible and disrespectful children into the world counts.

d.o..y.o.u..b.e.l.i.e.v.e..in..?

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: Since I have experienced it first hand, yes.
GOD: God is somewhat inconsequential. Besides, I am sure that if he were real, he would have ideas that do not agree with mine.
GHOSTS: Ghosts? No. The un-dead? Yes.
HELL: Whatever there is after death, I am sure that it can be bought off.
YOURSELF: Of course. What else is there?

w.h.i.c.h..i.s..b.e.t.t.e.r..?

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Vanilla. The one point that my son and I agree on.
MUD WRESTLING OR JELLO WRESTLING? Really! How bourgeois.
COKE OR PEPSI? Neither. I prefer cognac.
WHITE OR CHOCOLATE MILK? Milk is extremely fattening. I never drink it.
ORANGES OR APPLES? Citrus fruits, of course. Apples are for the lower classes.
BLONDES OR BRUNETTES? Blonds. If �duh' was in my vocabulary, I would say it.

w.h.e.n..w.a.s..t.h.e..l.a.s.t..t.i.m.e..y.o.u..?

CRIED? I cried the day Rory left me for the last time. As I watched him sail away, I realized that not only would I be lonely for the rest of my life, but that his child would never have a true place in the world�
But you do not care about that, do you. Not important, I am sure.

w.h.a.t..

IS YOUR MOST PRIZED AND IMPORTANT POSSESSION? One prized possession? Impossible. Shall I list them in terms of value? (1) strand of black pearls; (2) diamond necklace; (3) mink wrap; (4) emerald earrings; (5) ruby ring; (6) gown by Yves Saint Laurent; (7).. .
WHAT IS THE WORST SONG YOUVE EVER HEARD? �How Ya Gonna Keep �Em Down on the Farm�. The most disgusting Broadway song in existence.
IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY? I realized that my son actually did care for me. (I do have a heart somewhere deep down.)
WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT IF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING? �What shall I wear today?�
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER MOST ABOUT THIS PAST YEAR? Acquiring seven heretofore unheard-of grandchildren is perhaps the most striking aspect, would not you agree?
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? Twenty-nine, naturally.

WHATS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? I have an exquisite original by Sergent that I take with me and put on the wall of my hotel suite wherever I am. Its title is �Madame X�.

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING NOW? A stunning little number by Balenciaga (I am aware that he has not been born yet. That is beside the point) in black satin.

f.a.v.o.r.i.t.e.s..

FRIENDS: When one has as many family members as I do, friends are redundant. Not to mention basically annoying.

FAVORITE DRINK: A fine pinot noir.
FAVORITE SOUND: A Stradivarius violin being played. It is everything in one package: beautiful music, excellent taste, and beaucoup dollars.
FAVORITE SMELL: Chanel N� 5
FAVORITE WAY TO RELAX: To buy something that makes me look absolutely gorgeous.

i.f..

YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE? A job? Never.
