Ashley Answers Your Questions!
From Ashley (KCFAN247):
Q: What's the coolest thing a fan has every done for you?
A: Hey Ashley!!! Great question! It’s hard to narrow it down, but it’s fun to recall...
Let’s see, Aben and I were given bags of M&M’s with our faces on it. It was fun to eat his face.
I’ve been given lots of “heart” stuff, from heart umbrellas to beach towels to jewelry and, needless to say, I heart all that (har, har.)
Director Sandy has knitted me my favorite hats and scarves.
Elaine Snowden has drawn some unbelievable portraits we have in the house.
I have a lot of handmade things from fans and those give me super warm fuzzies.
Q: What's your favorite Disney movie?
A: Gonna have to go with Aladdin. I know every word to every song. I’m on a plane, so I can’t cheat. :)
Prince Ali, fabulous he Ali-Ababwa, Genuflect, Show some respect, Down on one knee.... Try your best to stay calm, brush off your Sunday Salam, and come and meet the spectacular Coterie.... Prince Aliiiiii!
I wonder if I just lost some street cred for quoting Aladdin?
From Chelsea:
Q: First album you ever bought?
A: I have a sneaking suspicion it was Paula Abdul’s “Forever Your Girl”.
Q: Twilight or Harry Potter?
A: Twilight – The books. I’ve never read anything so fast in my life. I would even read while I was at the microphone sound checking.
Q: Favorite Board Game?
A: Clue. First rule: I’m always Miss Scarlett.
From Pam:
Q: What celebrities have you met? With which were you the most starstuck?
A: Oh gosh, I feel douchtastic listing the famous people I’ve met, but I’ll tell you I was most starstruck by Tom Petty, Chris Martin, and Zach Efron (I mean, I had just seen 17 Again...) Oh, I ended up talking with Debbie Gibson a few weeks ago for awhile at a coffee shop and had to keep myself from pointing and screaming “Shake Your Love, Bitches!”
Q: What is one song that you CANNOT stand?
A: The song Fergie sings where she says “I’m gonna miss you like a child misses his blanket”. Just not right.
Q: NYC or LA?
A: They say NY is the book and LA is the movie. I love books more than movies, but LA has the warm weather and I am the most cold natured human walking the planet. So LA, if you’re twisting my arm. But NY if it makes you like me more. (For realsies, NY is my fave place to play.)

Q: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: I am a huge fan of the potato. Mash it, bake it... French fries, hashbrowns... Red potatoes, new potatoes. Go Potato!
From Jody:
Q: What's the first song you ever remember hearing?
A: My Mom used to sing me a lullaby called “Gentle Breeze”. But I’m gonna go with Stevie Wonder’s “Part Time Lover.” Has a wee-bit more edge than “Gentle Breeze”.
Q: How long have you been a vegetarian? Why did you become one?
A: Been a vegetarian for 4 years. I stopped eating meat for a few reasons. My uncle is a cardiologist and my mom is a nurse and conducts heart scans – When I saw 3D images of hearts clogged with plaque (from red meat), I reevaluated my love/need for steak. Then I came across an interesting article about how most chickens die of distress in cages before we eat them, amongst other fairly disturbing tidbits. I won’t go into the lovely deets (in case you are gnawing on some KFC), but I decided to give vegetarianism a try (because I’m not dutiful enough to do research on where all of the meat I eat comes from.) I used to get sick all of the time pre veg – In the last 4 years I’ve maybe been sick twice. I’m a belieber. Wait, what?
