Dubai United Emirate Media

I've been asked to do an interview for a Dubai United Emirate media station next week. I am not going to lie...I'm scared. Not nervous, but scared. As a woman I tend to sometimes say outlandish things. I am worried that representing an outspoken female, I might say some things that people in the country might not feel are appropriate for women. So I am already checking myself on subjects not to get into in the interview, like sex. I will not talk about sex during the interview. I will only talk about my dreams of becoming a filmmaker and what I am doing to accomplish those goals. Oh my goodness, I hope I don't put my foot in my mouth. I am learning self control and how to act when I am in front of a camera.

When I was in front of the camera last time, I ended up interviewing the reporter and got him to admit on camera that he was a virgin. I was embarrassed afterwards. Not the fact that he was a virgin, but the fact that I said something that lead him to feel the need to tell me that. I think he regrets opening up to me on air (from his face expression) and they will probably cut that out of the interview. It was a pretty interesting experience. When people put a camera in front of you, you don't know what you are going to say or do until it's over. Something about the camera puts you in a dream state. It's like hypnotism.

I would love the exposure because I love Bollywood movies and maybe one day I can go there and do some business or pleasure. I need to do more research on the country to know how to behave on day of interview. I hope I don't make a fool of myself. I didn't care about impressing any other station but I care about how I look on this station, because I know how they view women. I want to make a good impression. I sometimes talk out the side of my mouth and act a little "thuggish" for a female and that is from growing up in Brooklyn. I'm going to try to talk slower, more eloquent and demure. Ican do it. I need to go to charm school or something. Indian women who are not raised in America tend to be a bit more refine. Now the ones that are raised in America...I don't know. They tend to be very crazy. Speaking from experience, having dealt with a good number of Indian women in my life time. I prefer being friends with the ones overseas.

I will update on the event...
