I want it for my stairs. And, it comes in every color. I think I dream about it. haha Dana Scottsdale Arizona www.myspace.com/danacapp   DANA SAYS: I consider myself a "picky" shopper. When shopping for others, I try and keep in mind what they would like for themselves, but won't spend the money on it, and make a purchase based on that. For me, if it is creative or expressive in my tastes and interests, I will purchase it. For some reason, this year, I've had it with the crowds and consumerism, that I'm trying to purchase items where a portion of the proceeds go to charity. My wrapping paper is from the red campaign and helps benefit people with aids in Africa. December 20      Amanda Swisten Amanda was born in New York City on this date in 1978.

December 19       Alyssa Milano Alyssa is the daughter of Italian-American parents Lin, a fashion designer, and Tom, a film music editor. Alyssa was born in a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn in 1972, and grew up in a modest house on Staten Island. One day, her babysitter, who was an aspiring dancer, dragged Alyssa along to a an open audtion for the first national tour of Annie. But it was Alyssa, not the sitter, who beat out 1,500 other wanna be stage act- resses to snag a role. So at the tender age of seven, with her mother in tow, Alyssa join- ed the tour as July, one of the orphans. After 18 months on the road, Alyssa, who had begun to garner a reputation as an energetic and charismatic young actress, left Annie to be featured in off-Broadway productions and television commercials. Then, in 1983 at age 10, she landed her breakthrough role on the new sitcom "Who's the Boss?" (1984) as Tony Danza's saccharine sweet daughter, Samantha Micelli, a kid whose native Brook- lyn accent rivaled her TV dad's. In order for her to accept the gig, the Milano family had to uproot and move 3,000 miles to Hollywood. Had a best-selling excercise video in 1988 call- ed Teen Steam. She's the 1-800-COLLECT girl. Caused a stir with her TV Commercial for Candies perfume, which featured a black-lingerie clad Alyssa and a goateed man. The "Any- where You Dare" campaign was rejected by such stations as WB and FOX in 2000. Voted #4 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women list (2001). Voted #4 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women list in 2003. Had 5 albums released in Japan which all went platinum. These were titled Alyssa, Look In My Heart, Best in the world, Locked In a Dream, and Do You See Me? Named #22 in FHM ma- gazine's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006" supplement (2006). She is a huge fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Out of what she called "necessity," Milano teamed with G-III and MLB to create her own signature "touch" line of team-logo fashion for the female fan, which was released for sale on-line on April 13, 2007.

You'll usually see me speeding around over loaded with presents! For me the happiness is being with the ones I love. Plain and simple answer, but so very true. :) They've already given me it. :) It's something that money can't buy and that would be love and happiness. :) God, this time of the year makes me sappy. ha ha :) Kimmie Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/rockinkimmieroorkr KIMMIE SAYS: Just call me--- the IN-- and OUT shopper! :) Michelle Northeast United Kingdom www.myspace.com/hair_raiser MICHELLE SAYS: Hi there. I'm a heavy shopper. I love buying anything to be honest! I have an awful habit of finding exactly what I want in the first shop I go into but, rather than buy it I will trawl the shops for hours yet end up back in the first shop and buy the item I first seen, much to my husbands despair. LOL The best Christmas present that would put a smile on my face would be for a top hairdresser to come to my house and do my hair for a change. I look like a frizzy gonk every Christmas because I'm that busy making everyone else beautiful. I haven't time for me!!! Thank God for hats!! LOL Dianne Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/dianneelaine DIANNE SAYS: Hello again. I do love your questions. Shop is my favorite four letter word. So that makes me a heavy shopper; it's like therapy for me. Fortunately, I prefer 2nd hand and vintage stores or any of the shops downtown to malls, so I consider it "controlled buying" (sort of like controlled burning, no?) Have a great holiday!

Her Montenegrinian father, Bogdan (Bogdanovich) Jovovich, was a medical doctor in Kiev. There he met her mother, Galina Jovovich (nee Loginova), a Russ- ian-Ukrainian actress. At the age of 5, in 1981, Milla with her parents emigrated from the Soviet Union, moving first to London, UK, then to Sacramento, California, and eventually settled in Los Angeles. She shot to international fame after she was spotted by the photo- grapher Richard Avedon at the age of 11, and was featured in Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" advertisements, and on the cover of the Italian fashion magazine 'Lei' which was her first cover shoot.

The total number of her magazine covers worldwide was over one hundred by 2004, and keeps counting. In 2004 she made 10,4 million dollars, becoming the highest paid supermodel in the world. Milla was torn between two professions, before she eventually be- came one of the very few supermodels who also developed a steady and serious film career. In 1988, at age 12, she made her film debut credited as Milla in a supporting role in Two Moon Junction (1988) by writer/director Zalman King. During the 1980s and early 1990s, she played several supporting roles as a teenage actress in film and on television, then starred in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991). In 1997 she co-starred opposite Bruce Willis in the sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element (1997), then she starred as Joan of Arc. Outside of her acting and modeling professions, Milla released several critically acclaimed musical recordings, making her debut as a singer, songwriter and musician with the 1994 release of 'The Divine Comedy'. Her vocal rec- ordings appeared on soundtracks of several films. She has been writing music and lyrics to her song-demos, playing her guitar and sampling other sounds from her computer, and allowing free download and remix of her songs from her website.

This season I'd prefer all the presents to go to my new son, it's his first Christmas. I'm so excited at the thought! I decorated my tree on the 28th Nov- ember. He saw trees in shops and couldn't stop staring at them. Now if he is ever a bit over boisterous (chasing the cat in his baby walker), I just turn on the tree lights and he sits, transfixed! I always loved Christmas anyway, but this year is gonna be so very special.  :o) Amanda Marquette Michigan www.myspace.com/leigh_rock AMANDA SAYS: I'm a light shopper.

Winner of the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2000. Birthname is Elizabeth Caroline Orton. Known for her "folktronica" sound, which mixes ele- ments of folk and electronica. Was initially recognized for her collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid 1990s—but these were not Orton's first recordings. Beth released a solo album, Superpinkymandy, in 1993. Since the album was only released in Japan, it went largely unnoticed by international audiences. Her second solo album, Trailer Park, garnered much cr- itical acclaim in 1996. With the release of the albums Central Reservation (1999) and the 2001 UK top 10 album Daybreaker, Beth developed a devoted fan base. On her 2006 release, Comfort of Strangers, she has moved towards a more folk- based sound and away from the electronic sound of past albums. American movies and TV shows such as Felicity, How to Deal, Charmed and Vanilla Sky have featured her music and provided her with exposure to an American mainstream audience.
