Questions Marisa Zupan has answered:

What is your ideal New Year's Eve night?

Her answer: Big party
Kiss and heels. Always more likely to be found at a big party.

Other questions from Nightlife For presents, is it the thought or the value that matters?

Her answer: The thought.
The thought counts and lasts longer than anything else.

Other questions from Mr. Manners If you don't have a date for New Year's Eve, would you kiss a stranger?

Her answer: Why not?
Like I said, high heels and a kiss. That's all I ask for on New Year's eve.

Other questions from Mr. Manners Should we go to each others' office's holiday party?

Her answer: Of course
But ONLY if we're really serious. Bringing flings to holiday parties is unsavory.

Other questions from Nightlife For the New Year's Eve party, should I overdress or underdress?

Her answer: Overdress
Just two requirements for new years: a kiss and astronomically high heels.

Other questions from Style When do in-law gifts become a standard?

Her answer: A few years into the relationship
Depends on how close you are to the parents - but a gift always makes a good impression.

Her answer: Same
It's not 1956 anymore! Happy Holidays!

Other questions from Mr. Manners I'm shopping for a present, but I don't know your size. Better to go with:

There is nothing worse for the psyche than having to 'squeeze'... unsightly.

Who doesn't like an impromptu holiday kiss?

Her answer: Rum punch
I can drink more rum punch. It really is that simple.

Her answer: C'mon. Wash your feet.
If only because it feels nice!

Other questions from Dude 101 What's your take on fidgeting?

Her answer: Intensely annoying
Ok now kids, we all have to become adults at some point...

Other questions from Dude 101 What do you think when you see two men engaged in debate?

Her answer: “Ooh, sexy.”
The is the equivalent of asking guys 'what do you think when you see two girls making out?'

That, my friend, is the sign of a well mannered, articulate man and that's a-ok with me.

Her answer: Not at all
As long as he knows how to put alcohol and ice in a glass. Plus you can always learn :)

Her answer: Full democracy
Some people just don't know how to build a playlist. If you can, its the sexiest thing ever.

Her answer: Goodfellas
Classic, gritty, and Italian. An all around win.

I mean, I assume if you're spending the nigh't we've already gotten over the germ issue.

Other questions from Mr. Manners She starts moving toward the dance floor, what do you do?

Her answer: Show her your moves
Even if you suck at it go for it! In the end you'll either impress with moves or ballsy character.

Other questions from Dude 101 Is it possible for me to ask out a bartender, barista, or waitress?

You have control over autonomy, assertiveness and responsibility. Job or not, those things are hot.

Her answer: Love it.
Why not? Don't know a thing about it but I'll keep an open mind.

Other questions from Worldy-Wise Should I always ask you about your day?

Her answer: It's mandatory, every day.
It's just another way of saying 'I care about how and what you are doing' and that's just nice.

Her answer: Why not?
Garlic is yummy. No need to curb yumminess no matter who you are dining with.

If it's in line with what you're actually into and we're serious enough, why not?
