I attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City for 4 and 1/2 years. I squeezed every bit of fun of that crazy college town and during my reign, I was a major member of the party "scene."
I am not really proud of that fact but hell, I still escaped IC with a Journalism/Poly Sci degree and most of my brain cells. I ended up with enough membrane to ramble on this blog, which however is a very low bar accomplishment.
My addictions developed in college unfortunately still came with me once I left Iowa but hey, you take the good with the bad and deal with it. I learned a hard lesson early that buying rounds of Tequila shots is not a frugal endeavor in the "real world' and specials like "dollar you call it or 2 dollar Steins," are complete foreign phrases in 99% of all other drinking establishment cultures.
Hell, what is the point of this post? The Academy Award for best original screenplay went to Diablo Cody for writing the movie "Juno." It turns out Diablo, who's real name is Brook Busey-Hunt, attended Iowa at the same time as myself.
I have an eery feeling that we have met before and I can not place it, see my aforementioned fuzzy memory. We either shared some classes, a coffee at the Java house or a bathroom stall at an after hours party. Maybe we conversed at Dolls, the ex-local gentleman's club, while she was studying up for one of her future literary topics.
Diablo ended up in the Twin Cities working at a seedy strip club. She chronicled her experience in the book, Candy Girl: A Year in The Life of an Unlikely Stripper.
She has a cool blog called Pussy Ranch, a guest column for EW, a Showtime pilot working with Steven Spielberg and now an Oscar. Diablo has leaked semi nude photos on the web.
Who says it does not pay to strip? Go Hawks!
And if you are wondering, Yes and sober.
The video of her appearance on the Dave Letterman show about her book is pretty hilarious.
