The Women Behind Happy Woman
Pamela Miller
Q: Where do you currently reside?
A: Chandler, AZ—Specifically chosen because it didn’t have a mall. (Without my knowledge or consent, they opened one in 2001.)
Q: Where were you born?
A: Detroit, MI, on a Thursday, a month early, because there was a fire in the dishwasher.
Q: Favourite Book(s)
A: The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler—a thinly veiled account of all the people in his family who pissed him off, published after his death. I think he’s still giggling about it.
Q: Favourite Films(s)
A: Silence of the Lambs (No one is more appealing to an intelligent woman than Hannibal Lecter.)
Q: Favourite Food(s)
A: Spinach
Q: Favourite Hobbies/Past times
A: Travel, of course.
Q:What is your motto?
A: Det är aldrig för varmt för att ha en turtleneckkrage
Q:Which living person do you most admire?
A: David Sedaris (Yes, I realize it should be an eco-friendly humanitarian vegetarian with charisma and an endless supply of bon mots and cough drops. I’m around people like that all day. It’s tiring. I’d rather just read and laugh.)
Q: What is your idea of the perfect day?
A: It would be the day I successfully gave birth to a squirrel, but they just banned that Arizona and I don’t want to move.
Q: Your greatest fear?
A: Blow Dryers—it’s not a phobia if the fear is based in reality.
Q: What is your greatest extravagance?
A: It would be an iPad, but I don’t have one. Every day, I await a visit from the iPad fairy.
Q: Favourite cities to visit
A: London; wherever I’m going next.
Q: Favourite vacation spot?
A: Anywhere Amish
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: There is a firm “no pets, no plants, no kids” rule in my home.

A: I’m a delicate flower. Harsh language makes me wilt.
Q: What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
A: Henchman
Q: What profession would you not like to do?

Q: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
A: Welcome. Here’s your complimentary iPad.
