Because Molly wanted to practice her ventriloquism

Q: “Why should I be Utah’s Next Top Sassy?”

A: “World Peace.”

Also too, I like the concept of supporting local businesses; it’s probably a good idea to promote and patronize them so that when the apocalypse is nigh, you’ll have a reliable source for fuel and Mountain Dew. (Maverik gas station is local to the Western U.S., so . . . every fountain drink is like a vote for freedom, right?)

I’d love to review a clothing consignment store (like Kid-to-Kid or My Sister’s Closet, which turns out to be local to Mesa, Arizona, but they just opened in Spanish Fork, so maybe that counts?). What about CSAs and Farmer’s Markets? And Winder Farms? Oh, oh, and we should review some books and then have a reading with great Utah authors like Shannon Hale and Brandon Mull. And someone should ask my opinion about Thai Drift in Lindon. (Spoiler: It’s awesome. Get the massaman curry.)

(There’s also a big fat selfish reason: I would love to see these guys (Steph and Emily and Vanessa and Kristina and Jenny and Camille and Jennifer) more often.)

Here’s my audition video, starring Molly:

There’s a small maternal-infant Freudian slip in there when she says she doesn’t need me around “every single day.” I think she meant “every single hour” or “every single minute.”
