A Little Letter

So, apparently I've officially "arrived" as a host of Sonoran Living Live. :) Let me explain.

Today, I received my first Prisoner letter since moving to the show. A little background here. Prisoner letters are not so uncommon, as an anchor. Usually, they want to tell you how how innocent they are...they were framed....it's all a misunderstanding and they are generally next in line to being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.

But, this...my friends...was ooooh, so different! ...or "Clumsy" as he says he's "called in the East Valley" is in jail for possession and distribution of dangerous drugs and is otherwise engaged for the next 8 1/2 years. And his letter to me was not to proclaim his innocence ...but rather to say how much he enjoys Sonoran Living! ha!

Here are a few quotes...which I'm sure you too, will find amusing:

"I sit in my prison bunk at 9:00 everyday watching you....I originally started watching the show because of your personality and now I am hooked on the variety of topics discussed. I do notice when you have bad hair days but that is only because in prison we learn to study people and notice the small things."

He goes on to say he likes my clothes and makeup and wants his fiancee' to dress similarly and he has plans to send a letter to our Sonoran Living Glam Squad for consideration of a make-over for his fiancee'...of course, AFTER they get married. He is awaiting approval for his December nuptials from the prison.

"Back to you and your beauty. From what I can see on my black and white tv your new hair highlights look really good. The lipstick looks nice and glossy and those clothes I've seen you in are looking hot! I just wanted you to know that your look is perfect and looks nice. Hopefully your husband let you know how beautiful you look but if not then I'm sure he will."

Sigh. I think I'll be wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants, ponytail, no make-up and glasses next week for the show. Please be advised, it will not be pretty.

By the way, if you think I'm exaggerating I checked out his MySpace page, which he provided for me and found that he updates it from prison. I took note of the following:

1. The lovely picture of him holding his AK-47.

2. The picture of him in his "dope house" on his birthday.

3. The link to Sonoran Living Live on his list of favorite shows.

I guess you really never know who your loyal viewers are, now do you? :)
