MEN AT WORK - WILL THE REAL JIMMY THOMAS PLEASE STAND UP





So, my lovely bloggers, I hardly need waste time on introducing my guest today as every romance author worth their pen and PC knows the delectable Jimmy Thomas, the millennium’s answer to Leonidas {only without the leather underpants} For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, his official bio can be found here

http://www.facebook.com/JimmyThomasDotCom/info

But ladies, do we really know him? I set out to discover the true Jimmy Thomas

So, Mr. Thomas, what to ask you? I am sure you are so bored with the same old so let’s make this fun. Twenty short, sharp questions to give my readers and your loyal supporters an insight into what makes Jimmy tick. Here we go….

1. Tea or Coffee - Coffee at home or office, passion fruit tea or raspberry tea when eating out

2. Beer or wine - Whichever she is drinking

3. Dogs or cats - Both :)

4. Blondes or Brunettes - Both :)

5. Rock or R and B - Both (rock for rocking out, R and B for rocking in ;)

6. Mariah or Whitney - To just listen to or have sex with? ;) Neither for listening; too slow... either for the
later
;)


7. Beach or mountains - MOUNTAINS - waterfalls, hiking trails, camping, nature; that's my thing! :)

8. Team Edward or Team Jacob - Shame on you... Team Jimmy Thomas ;)

9. Boxer or briefs {or none} - boxer-briefs or none.

10. Gollom or Dobby - Gollom

11. Football or Basketball - NFL Football: New England Patriots!

12. Nadal or Federer - Do I look like I watch tennis? ;)

13. McDonald's or KFC - Either, but only a few times a year

14. Gaga or Katy Perry - Both

15. Angelina or Jennifer - Angelina

16. Armani or Ralph Lauren - Armani

17. De Niro or Pacino - Both, but if I had to pick one... Pacino

18. Baths or showers - Alone: showers, with a girl: both

19. Batman or Superman - Batman (Prefers super hero abilities to be of one's own skills, not powers given to them)

20. Marriage or Bachelorhood - Marriage


Thank you so much for your candor and good answers - diplomatic at times. Lol.

So there you have it. ladies. Feel free to comment and let's see if we can get Jimmy to drop buy and comment on your comment. I will ask him to chose the most humorous and the winner will receive a free copy of my Dreamweek.

Thanks for dropping by and stay tuned for next week's Men at Work.

  1. Wow Viv, I am so in awe that you, not only cornered our Jimmy, but grateful for the insights you discovered in your endeavors. As most are, I am fascinated by this generous and sexy man. His answers have endeared me even more to someone I already had huge respect for. It's not only that he is gorgeous, he's genuine.

    Love him. Love you. Thank you and Merry Christmas my friend.

  5. Re: "Beer or Wine"--"Whatever she is drinking"--smooth you sly dog. Not many know how wry and entertaining J.T. can be. Hi Jimmy *waves*. We had a great interview with Jimmy a time back (http://christinelondon.blogspot.com/2009/08/interview-with-international-cover.html ) and one covering a book cover shoot Mr Thomas did at the Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention in Orlando (http://christinelondon.blogspot.com/2009/04/christine-goes-florida-one-steamy.html )
    He is smart and funny.
    Thanks for such an out of the box interview, Viv.

  6. @Viviane...Wonderful interview. Having Jimmy on several of my novels has been a treat. Readers are naturally drawn to them.

    @ Jimmy... I've always enjoyed your interviews. Knowing there's a really terrific man out in the world somewhere who is just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside makes it easy to write heroes I know exist. Keep that bar raised high and good luck in your future endeavors.

    Happy Holidays!

  7. I met Jimmy at RT in Orlando. Definitely a gentleman. He's on the cover of one of my books, "What's in a Name?" (and was very nice about helping me find an appropriate image when I wanted one of him shirtless and wearing a tool belt, but he didn't have one on his site.)
