46. What?s your all time favorite Saturday Night Live Character? Oh, that's hard!! There's pretty much anything that Gilda did and I always loved Point/Counter Point with Dan Akroyd and Jane "You ignorant Slut" Curtin, and of course there's Jake and Elwood. I'm definitely an old school SNL fan.
47. What was the name of your first pet? Pandy, short for Pandora. She loved boxes.
48. What is in your purse? I don't carry a purse.
