Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Miley Cyrus sings about gold as though it represents the best. Do you more often wear gold or silver? Silver
2) She also sings the praises of buying herself flowers. Are there any cut flowers in your home right now? Nope. When I was working every day in an office setting, I always had cut flowers in a vase on my desk. All year around. But now I'm afraid my cats would view the flowers as a salad bar.
3)
She tells us she's going to paint her nails cherry red. Do you handle
your own mani/pedi, do you go to a salon, or do you just let your nails
go natural? I get a professional pedi several times a year and touch it up on my own between visits. I am not very good at this.
4)
In 2019, Miley had vocal cord surgery, and her recovery required her to
go weeks without uttering a sound. Would it be difficult for you to
keep your lips zipped for a week? Depends on who is around. I could very comfortably go a week without seeing, or talking to, anyone. I would feel no need to seek out company. But if someone else so happens to be around, well, I will always be compelled to fill the silence. This is why Chandler is my favorite Friend.
5)
Dolly Parton is Miley's godmother, and Miley singles Dolly out as the
one who taught her "how to treat people well." Tell us about someone who
was a positive influence on you. My Cousin Rose. Apart from the other women in the family, she was always independent and always went her own way. She let me see what was possible.
6) She is a massive Elvis fan and swoons every time she watches Blue Hawaii because he professes his love for Maile, pronounced "Miley." What movie have you watched many times? According to Letterboxd, I've seen Jailhouse Rock eight times. I'm sure I've seen The Wizard of Oz way more than that.
7) In 2023, when "Flowers" was released, actor
Sir Michael Gambon died. Though he distinguished himself performing
Shakespeare with the Royal National Theater, he is best known for
playing Dumbledore in several Harry Potter movies. Who is your favorite Harry Potter character? I don't have one. I know nothing about the Potter universe, except that my niece is sure I would be a Hufflepuff. Which sounds cute.
8)
2023 was a busy year for England's Royal Family, with the crowning of
King Charles III and the publication of Prince Harry's memoir, Spare. Do you have a favorite among the Windsors?
9)
Random question: Do your siblings have children? If yes, are you close to them? Both of my sisters have kids. I'm close to the two who grew up near me, not to the two who grew up in California.
I liked all the things Diana did to help others. It was sad the way she died. I thought of you this week since I watched a couple of movies on the TCM channel. Trying to keep away from the news.
