MISS NEW YORK: Busting Loose, Part Two
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
The early feedback for Miss New York's spin-off reality show, 'I Love New York,' has been a bit overwhelming.
The premiere episode of the wild romp debuts this week on VH1, but has been causing hysteria on the Internet for the past week or so.
Hate it or love it, the reality show vixen (legally known as Tiffany Pollard) has taken the televised dating game competition to the next level, with a mixed bag of Y Chromosomes ranging in various degrees of character, emotion, personality and physical make-up -- all vying for the two-time 'Flavor of Love' loser's love.
It is said that revenge is a dish best served cold.
And for all of the 'Flavor' detractors who lambasted the record breaking show for perpetuating negative stereotypes of women, 'I Love New York' one-ups the shenanigans with full frontal exposure of attention-yearning men in all of their glory.
Her mother, known as Sister Patterson, is thrown into the mix -- and brings things to the hilt with a deep-seated disdain for a young buck named Chance (a self described "hot firecracker" clad in hip-hop regalia) who is a reality show star in the making. Patterson serves as Miss New York's voice of reason --in helping her make the right decision in whittling down the competition.
But enough of that, leave the rest of the reviewing to the reviewers, here's Part Two of my one-on-one with Miss New York -- her truly most revealing and candid interview to date.
Now I read an interview with you and you said that a woman wanted you to urinate in her drink so she could be like you?
Oh God, yes. Oh my God (screaming). It's funny that you brought that up because I guess these interviews really do get posted, chile. Yes she did. Yes she did really do me like that in the bathroom.
Where were you? What kind of bathroom was that?
Oh my God, you know New York is always getting her party on. I was clubbing. I don't know if they want me to give them a plug so I'm not going to say which club I was at… you know it was in crazy ass New York City.
And then you responded to her that she would have to pay you money to do that for her, but I want to know what would be the price for you to do that?
(laughing) Let's just say that her purse wasn’t able to hold all the money that I was looking for in order to have to do that.
Oh okay. So we all watched your evolution on the television. On the first season, I liked you on the first season. Then you came back and then you were like thin…I was like what did she do to herself? And then we see these new photos of you and you're a bit bustier.
Okay.
So tell me about your physical transformation?
Oh absolutely (giggles). I'm not going to say that I'm the Oprah Winfrey of dieting but I do happen to fluctuate a lot with my weight, and Season 1, that was me, lets say 20 pounds heavier than I usually am. And then on Season 2, I came back on the real thin, thin, thin side because I don’t know when to quit. And when something's going good, I keep going. And that was definitely too small, too thin for me. So right now I am a bit busty and I guess all of my weight is going to my bust line and I'm not mad at it either.
Did you get plastic surgery?
I sure did. And? I'm just playing baby. I get along with the twins right now. And we get a long fine and we look really good in out little blouses and stuff, so yes I did, I got my breast done.
The reason why I ask that question is because you have this presence on camera that kind of exudes a confidence. So, knowing that, most confident people really don't feel they need to enhance themselves unless they have a deep driving emotion about it. That's why I wanted to make it a point to ask you about your recent endowment.
Yes. And if I can just rebuttal real quick, that is so amazing because I am one of the most confident women that I know besides my mother. The reason why I really went and got a breast job was because, onceagain, I was tired of my weight fluctuating in that area… I was so sick of it. I was like 'Hey, we gotta make this a permanent busty type thing.' That's the real reason why I really got my breasts done. It wasn't really because I wasn’t happy with what God gave me. I was just tired of him giving it to me and taking it back on certain days.
That's funny. That's cute. So is Flavor going to be on this new show?
Oh boy (laughing). I think I'm going to have leave that one alone. But you know Flav and I are great friends and anything is possible.
Is he a part of the production team since this is a spin-off of his show?
… Not that I know of. I would say that if he's a part of the production, I didn’t know about it. They kept that a secret.
So what happens to you at this point, where are you in your life today as far as the acting pursuit, and your romantic entanglement at this point?
I like you. You're a funny guy. I love it. I love it. You just said something and I'm not going to tell you what you said but that word you just used… I'm just going to leave it alone. Oh my God. You have insight. I just want to tell you that me as an individual I am so content, I'm so happy, I'm proud, I'm pleased and I cant think of life going any better for me than it is today. I'm excited. I'm ready to take off and I have taken off before the show and I will take off before the show?
Have you been drinking today?
Drinking?
Drinking liquor?
As in water, and Iced Tea and as in Diet Coke, yes.
What's your favorite alcoholic beverage?
(screaming) I am not a lush. Not everyday. But I love my vodka and Red Bull.
What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?
You know what baby, I try to take it so easy on those cancer sticks …but I do smoke Newport 100s.
Why do black people like Newports so much?
I think black people like Newports because we like the most bang for our buck and Newports are the strongest cigarettes out there so we're …going to get the strongest cigarettes that exist. I'm sorry but that’s the way we're going to do it every time.
What's your favorite color?
My favorite color is black.
When is your birthday?
January 6.
So this [was] a big weekend for you?
Absolutely. Yes.
What's your favorite type of cuisine?
Oh my goodness. I'm going to go with stuffed crab artichoke dip, lobster dip. I love seafood.
Who's your favorite designer? Do you have one?
I love Michael Kors. That's mom's favorite designer. You know, whatever she loves I love.
Your mother wears Michael Kors!?
Yes. She loves that man. She can't stay away from him.
Oh my Lawd. What does she do for a living -- besides wreak havoc?
(chuckle) You know I'm going to call her after I get off of this phone. You know I'm going to tell her. She's a flight attendant but before then, her dad and her mom spoiled her so she gets whatever she wants.
Yeah. I think that’s what drew me to her. She has this whole aura of entitlement.
(screaming) YES!!!
I love that. I don't know why I'm drawn to it but it fascinates me.
Oh my God, I'm so going to tell her when I get off of this phone.
So did you ever want to be a flight attendant?
Oh God, no. I said if I go up in the air like that every single day it's going to have to be for a good reason and it's not going to be to take people to their destination. No. I would never want to be a flight attendant. But my hat is always off to my mom because I love her so much.
I want to interview her.
I got a pen and paper right now. I will deliver her to you.
She's amazing to me. I think she's over the top. You guys needs to doa 'Laverne & Shirley' or something. You guys on TV spells spin-off. I want to see a Miss New York doll. It's like a cottage industry. How would you want to expand your brand?
Well right now I'm thinking in terms of jewelry. I'm working on a jewelry line. I love my bling, sexy lingerie, stuff like that, of that nature. Stuff that women can celebrate themselves with. Not only women but men too, men love jewelry and lingerie too.
Now a lot of those 'Flavor of Love' girls have done those magazines like 'FHM' and 'King.' Please tell me youre going to be doing them?
Well, you know I did do a little spread in 'King' about two or three weeks ago, that's coming soon. I also did 'Out' magazine.
'Out Magazine'?
I sure did.
What are you trying to tell me?
What? That I have love for all. That’s what New York is trying to tell you.
Have you ever had a lesbian relationship?
What? (screaming) I don't know about you but I will tell you straight out that nobody can put it down like a man!!!
Well, it's 2007 so I think anybody as wild as you are can be down for anything. I definitely didn’t mean to offend you with that type of questioning.
Oh no baby, I'm not offended.
Now some people say that you come off a bit mean. Do you think that? Some people say they were rooting for you and then it just got a little crazy when your mother got into the picture and you kind of lost some people there.
Well, a lot of people can't take a strong armor. I'm a strong armor. My mom is the strongest armor I know. I'm not a mean women. It's just that there are times when I'm going to let my presence be known and my opinion be felt, so no, I'm not mean. I'm just straight to the point.
What is your drug of choice?
Oooh my goodness. Money. I love it.
I love that. See, you're a pro.
