Introduction	I'm a 29 year old writer working in media relations. I read a lot, am a huge history dork, am fascinated with advertising, the post WW II era, and especially advertising from WW II to about 1963. I hail from rural Kentucky. I live in the (medium-size) city now and exist somewhere between stereotypes, too steadily employed to be a bohemian but too poor to afford Restoration Hardware. I hate wearing high heels but enjoy cuddly pink sweaters and puppies. Cuddly pink puppies are even better. I have a great family (Mom, Dad, Brother plus the usual extended group) and a loverly boyfriend. I make killer brownies with hot fudge frosting and would sell my soul for dulce de leche ice cream.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

The statue will be made out of buttercream frosting and will celebrate my mastery of sock knitting.
