I’m thinking of writing a letter to Rachael Ray.
I guess it’s technically less a letter and more a plea to bring me on her show.
Not just me though. Torri too.
Rachael is looking for guests who are willing to come on and talk about teenage dating. More specifically what happens when a teenager is eager ready to date but her parents are far from allowing it.
I happen to be well-versed on this subject. Ahem.
I hesitate to answer Rachael’s casting call though.
Not because I wouldn’t totally dig a mother daughter trip to New York and the chance to sit in Rachael’s studio audience.
It’s the actual being on the show part that I’m less sure of.
It seems Jerry Springer tainted my view of talk shows.
Not that I wouldn’t faint if Oprah asked me to come on and talk about my as of yet unpublished novel.
I’m sort of on the fence with Rachael though.
I’d be afraid of what the discussion might look like after the show’s editors and producers had their way with the actual content.
Next thing you know poor Torri might just be looking in all the wrong places for the stability and unconditional love she couldn’t find at the abusive hands of her drunken mother.
And of course that would suck because then I’d have to move to Alaska or something. Which wouldn’t be a big deal had I not grown so accustomed to these 80 degree days.
Decisions, decisions.
What say you?

Put the bottle down and make the call. I mean really, how many people get the chance to totally embarrass their teenager on t.v.?
Well I had an intelligible comment thought out but then I read Wendy’s and now I’m lauging too hard to think straight…
LOL @ Wendy. So true. Make the call. =)
Happy Monday!
Yeah but think about some of those other subjects you see on Oprah. Especially the sex ones. And couples just volunteer to come on the show and talk about it in front of everyone. Strangers? Not a big deal. But I’d be more concerned about my neighbors and not-so-close friends hearing all the intimate details of my life. Are you kidding me?!
Teenage dating is much more doable.
Besides, if you had to move to Alaska then Sarah Palin would be your governor. That would be cool!
I think RR is nothing like Springer. I’ve never seen a chair thrown on her show. Is Torri interested in participating?
What say you? Sounds like you are ready for O’Reilly. :)
If Torri is game, then I say go for it. I can’t imagine what kind of editing there could be that would make you two look bad.
Please don’t go on Oprah though. I love you, but I still couldn’t break my vow to never ever watch Oprah, and I’d feel bad about that.
I don’t know, double edge sword thing comes to mind….
Go for it! With your luck you’ll probably win!
Hmmmm…I trust Rach! Go for it! :-)
I say do it. Rachael seems like she’d be okay. Plus the huge bonus is that you’d get to come to NY and we’d be able to hang. ;)
this cracked me up! Although I’m not the biggest Rachel Ray fan, you should totally do it.
Rachel Ray is a fairly safe show to go on. She’s more interested in real life stuff than making an emotional moment – I say go for it!
Like I said before..you are so cool..I say go for it!! Especially if Torri is in!!
Also..I will be in line first to have a signed copy of a novel written by one of my dearest and longest known friends!!
