Joanie Laurer Q&A:  • What movie or TV show had the most influence on you -- good or bad -- when you were a kid? "Wonder Woman" - I thought for that time (the late 1970s) she displayed the perfect blend of beauty and strength. I loved her black hair and red lipstick look!  •  If you could be transformed into an animal, what kind would you pick? I wouldn't be an animal - I'd be a mermaid and live out a fantasy life. I love the water. Mermaids are very beautiful, they can sing, and they're good swimmers!  •  What three adjectives would you most like people to use when describing you? Intelligence, strength and beauty  •  If you could go back in history and witness one event -- or meet one person -- what or who would it be? I would say Hitler because I find his power fascinating and I don't understand how it happened. It is so scary to me that one man could create such power so there must have been something unbelievably compelling about him.  •  What scares you? Being alone. Growing old. Letting the common things in life pass me by because I'm doing so many outrageous and crazy things.
