Bubble Gum Interview- Vicki Moore
Vicki is my friend and for some reason, she’s donated her time for a Bubble Gum Interview for our greater good. It’s like volunteering at a puppy shelter or being a volunteer Wal-Mart greeter- you don’t get anything in return, but boy it feels good to do it, right Vicki? Vicki Moore, host of the San Mateo Real Estate Blog and contributor extraordinaire at Agent Genius seems abnormally cautious in this interview and abnormally short on words (I suspect it has something to do with a trailer and the cops)…
What food do you hate (for reasons other than allergies)?
Dinuguan. Nasty. Yucky.
What do people in China call their good plates?
Expensive?
What tech gadgets do you own?
I tried channeling Johnny Depp with my Black Pearl but it hasn’t been successful yet. I’m a tv hound. Does a DVR count?
When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter?
Oooh. Now that brings back memories. It wasn’t the last time, but the one that comes to memory is a night during Christmastime. I can’t give details. I think I could still be arrested. But the ingredients included a trailer at a Christmas tree lot, a motorcycle, the police and a garage door opener.
Name your favorite flower, color, dream car, coffee shop and celebrity.
I love flowers; any that smell good are my favorite. Red definitely. I had a 5.0 Mustang that was my dream car at the time. I only got two tickets. I think that’s pretty good considering. I swear the wheels left the ground once. Now I would say it’s a Caymen - not red though. Coffee shop? I don’t drink coffee, but Heidi’s Pies is pretty awesome. I would compare it to the Waffle House, but not as good. Celebrity? Kathy Griffin. We went to see her when she was in the City. She’s hilarious.
Have you had another career before? How did you choose Real Estate?
Prior to real estate, I was a court reporter. I listened to death and destruction all day. Not fun. It was an invaluable experience; I learned a tremendous amount about so many things. I chose real estate because there’s no glass ceiling and I don’t like to be told what to do.

So there you have it. Vicki cautiously avoided cussing about grody Dinuguan (whatever that is), thinks china in China is expensive, is harboring a massive crush on a toothless drunk who wears puffy shirts whose last name rhymes with marrow, doesn’t drink coffee (huuuuuhhh?), prefers D-List celebrities who she’s seen the back of their heads while walking around town, and can pop-a-wheelie in a mustang. Now that you really know Vicki, what do you think?

Dinuguan is a Filipino food - pork made with pork blood. EWWWW.(My family is from the Philippines.)

I would send you flowers with a 5.0 hot wheels to hear more about the Christmas Tree lot…I would make sure they were both red if you could provide pictures!

April - It’s a deal! Can’t provide pics though - thank goodness.

I’m with April.
> I chose real estate because there’s no glass ceiling and I don’t like to be told what to do.
That certainly makes you unique in my experience with women.
Now I really can’t wait to meet you.

Jeff - Too funny. After the flower delivery, we could do a conference call, but you’d be sworn to secrecy.

I’m reading this thinking….where was I a year ago? How come I didn’t know Vicki or Lani or Jeff or April.
Vicki…..I drive a Volvo (safest car) and my wheels come off the ground every time I cross rail road tracks by my house (my 3 year old knows what’s coming and starts saying Wheeeeeee before we even get to it)

Ines, I never would have taken you for a “duke” girl…
Vicki, I’m totally with you on the importance of a quality DVR.

AHA!!! see what we find out - Let’s just say that I could never put ad magnets on my car.
