1. If you could get rid of one smell, what would it be? 

Poop.  Human, and animal.  This includes fart smells.   I've actually been blessed with a very weak sense of smell, so I don't think I'm bothered as much as other people.  But yeah, definitely poop. 

 

2. If a fairy tale or fable could become reality and you had to play a role in it, which fairy tale would you choose?

Top Gun. 

 

3. If you could be a guest on any talk show, which one would you choose?

Anything on the Food Network.  I must watch too much "Food Network Star" or something, because every time I cook something, I narrate in my head what I would say if I was making a cooking show.

1.) I hate the smell of coffee

2.) I think it would be cool to be Belle or Mulan. They seem pretty cool.

3.) Are there a lot of talk shows left? I would love to host a TV show on the Travel channel.

1. Wet Dog.  I love her to death, but wet dog is just nasty.  and I live in the tropics, with a wet season.

2.  Hmm, Sleeping Beauty?  Just wake me up when it's all over?

3. I don't even know which talk shows are still on.

1. I was also debating between fart and vomit. Maybe we can just classify them as falling under the category of "bad odors emitted by the human body"?

2. In Disney's Aladdin, Jasmine was a beautiful princess with a pet tiger. I'll take her role. :-)

3. Maybe Oprah (doesn't say it has to be current). That would mean I had probably done something inspirational, which would be nice.

Top Gun. 

Love it!  Top Gun is a fable, y'all!

1. Bodily fluids, I imagine.  They're always the worst.

2. Love Actually (hey, it counts).  Particularly the Prime Minister & Natalie, though I watch it every year at Christmas and always forget/remember several of the couples.

3. Graham Norton.  He's effing hilarious.

1. Pollution. Especially the nasty smell of exhausts from big trucks and motorbikes. 

2. Love this question! Just now I'm in the process of learning the role of Cinderella from Rossini's La Cenerentola. I guess for the next couple of months or so she will be my fairy tale. Other than that I'd totally be Alice. And I totally want a Johnny Depp Mad Hatter :)

3. Jay Leno! but I'd take David Letterman too. A few years ago some opera stars got invited to the Late Show ... maybe there's still hope for me :)

1.  Porridge!!! Can not stand being in the same room as it.  Makes me want to create smells that others want to eliminate (ie throw up!).  I know poo/farts/vomit are nasty smells but they don't actually make me physically wretch....

2.  I'm going to go for an Irish fable... called Grainne Mhaol (litterally Bald Grainne) - she was a queen who shaved her head to be taken seriously by her kinsmen and then she led them into battle on the seas - she was a strong, independent leader and a good role model (apart from the odd bit of killing, but that was the time she lived in)

3.  +1 for Graham Norton! His guests always look like they have a ton of fun and they are mostly very cool!

1. If you could get rid of one smell, what would it be?

Industrial saran wrap. If I get a box of leftovers from a restaurant wrapped in that saran wrap, I can't even be in the same car as it. Strange, I know. I have a really sensitive nose. I once identified a camera left in my car by smelling it and knowing to which friend it belonged. A camera.

2. If a fairy tale or fable could become reality and you had to play a role in it, which fairy tale would you choose?

Hmmm, my mom always called me the Princess and the Pea because I like to be piled up with pillows and blankets. Or maybe Belle with the "nose in a book" thing. 

3. If you could be a guest on any talk show, which one would you choose?

I love Ellen and I think I would be relaxed around her. Other interviewers would make me nervous.

3. I was thinking Oprah.

Vomit- I am a sympathetic vomiter- the smell gets me everytime.

2. If a fairy tale or fable could become reality and you had to play a role in it, which fairy tale would you choose?

Little Red Riding Hood- so  I could kick some wolf butt

Baby poo! Lol I love fairy tales so that's actually a hard one answer haha... I like where someone said Jasmine. She used to be my fave princess but I guess id go Rapunzel...from the new movie...of course having to watch it almost every day with my daughter may be influencing my opinion lol and I gotta love me some Flynn Ryder Ellen. I don't really know many others....and not to mention most others I do know are just drama filled it seems. Well that didn't get spaced like I meant for it to.

1. If you could get rid of one smell, what would it be? I'll generalise & go for bodily fluids.

2. If a fairy tale or fable could become reality and you had to play a role in it, which fairy tale would you choose? That's a tough one. Maybe Snow White?

3. If you could be a guest on any talk show, which one would you choose? The Graham Norton show, if only to pull the leaver on the guest in the red chair...
