Now for something a little bit different…
Tila Tequila is an internet legend. She's a "tiny but mighty" MySpace pioneer and has worked the social networking scene to her advantage to become quite the reality celebrity in the US. To be honest, as a Londoner, I hadn't really heard of Tila Tequila before being asked to do this interview – but I'm always interested in talking to interesting people and after doing a bit of research on this controversial little gal, I happily agreed to have a chat with this fireball of a headline maker…
A lot of people have asked me, "What was it like interviewing Tila?" as they are almost expecting a controversial gossipy sort of answer, but after spending a half hour with her, I have to say she is the sweetest girl, very personable and easy to get along with. Her honesty is refreshing and above all, I can tell she's having a lot of fun with her career at the moment. Despite the controversy surrounding her, I went into the interview with no pre-conceived notions or judgements and afterwards have come out of it fascinated to realize that if you really want it – you can acheive it. And that dear readers, is what I think Tila Tequila is all about to begin with…
So let's get down to it, in part one of my audio interview with Tila Tequila, we talk about her early days as an MySpace pioneer, her punk rock band days, her haters, her new hip-hop single "I Love My DJ" being a tribute to her favorite DJs and why she's not one of those "Hollywood Paris Hilton girls".
