Bubble Gum Interview- Ardell DellaLoggia
Just when you thought you knew your favorite bloggers, along comes the Bubble Gum Interviews. We ask the really tough questions about things like food preferences, high school stories and favorite hair products. Today we yap with Ardell DellaLoggia of the uber famous Rain City Guide. When I send interview questions out, I consistently tell people to feel free to add/delete questions as they see fit and no one ever does (well my questions are typically perfect). But I have to tell you that Ardell’s addition of her own question(s) made me laugh as she made it clear that she never thinks inside the box- and I absolutely ADORE her for that (even though she pretended not to “hear” my question asking why Texas is the best state ever)!
So enough about me, let’s talk about you, Ardell:
What do I want to wear, but haven’t yet?
A big red floppy hat. I’ve always wanted to do that. I figure when I have more wrinkles than I want anyone to focus on, I can wear a big red floppy hat to distract your attention.
Tell us about a time you snuck out as a teen.
I can’t tell you about a time I snuck out at night when I was a teen, because I never did. I didn’t know everyone was sneaking out when I was a teen. I went home and stayed there. By the time the fifth one of my girlfriends got pregnant by one of my boyfriends, I figured out everyone was sneaking out at night except me. Billy got Vicki pregnant. Johnny got Louise pregnant. Charlie got Joannie pregnant. Tommy got Sherry pregnant. No one got Chrissy pregnant as far as I know, but they all got her just the same. My Mom was very happy. I was not.
What did you want to be when you grew up? A ballerina, football player or the President, perhaps?
I didn’t want to be a lady when I grew up. When my Mom said “be a lady” I said I don’t wanna. I want to have fun. I’m still having lots of fun. I am exactly who I wanted to be when I grew up.
Do you drink beer, wine, mojitos or none of the above?
I like to dance more than I like to drink, but when I drink, I do both.
Ardell, can you dance to the tune of your own drum by creating your own questions/answers?
If I could go back in time and be anyone in history, I would be Joan of Arc.
If I could change one thing about the world, I would make all of the dark people white and all of the white people dark for two years and then switch them back again. I’d do that every two years, back and forth.
*******
So, there you have it. Ardell dreams of being Joan of Arc in a floppy red hat and was an abnormal teen who never snuck out despite rebelling against her mothers demands that she be a boring “lady.” Now that you really know Ardell, what do you think?

I think it was really cute to get personal with people out there. Especially becausethis is my mom. It actually was really touching to read stuff like that about my mom because i love her so much. It makes everyone closer even if you didn’t knwo that person.
Great job Lani! You are amazing!
