What Up? Mickey Boardman
Mickey Boardman is fierce! He's my new BFF. With a penchant for royalty and a routine gig on VH-1's "The Fabulous Life Of," Mickey manages to not only maintain a busy social calendar, but also serves as Deputy Editorial Director as well as Ambassador to New York City's Paper Magazine.
Dispensing common sense to the love lorn and fashionably inept, Mr. Mickey sits at the helm of the company's popular website. His style has been described as "alcoholic housewife," he is vegetarian, he loves what he does and he loves his life.
I first noticed Mickey while sitting out in front of V with my morning coffee and cigs. Each day he'd sashay down to Paper, in high-shorts with glittered hand bag and fluorescent shirt. "Hey girl!" I'd screamed, "Hey!" with a friendly wave and smile. I instantly loved him before I even knew who he was.
He's non-judgmental, down-to-earth and most importantly, himself. I love Mickey Boardman!
So whassup girl?
JD Ferguson: Hey doll! Did you see the email from the "straight" porn star?
MM: I can't believe he wants you to pimp whores for him!
JD: I know, I think it's his way of letting me know he's straight, so I don't get any ideas.
MM: Maybe Carol or Alexis can help you out.
MM: At the office obviously.
MM: Mr. Mickey (note the E) was born in Chicago and grew up in Hanover Park Illinois. A charming suburb just next to Barrington, which is where Cynthia Rowley is from.
JD: How was high-school for you?
MM: I was voted biggest gossip (male) at Hoffman Estates High School.
JD: So I guess it's only fitting that you should end up in fabulous NYC smack dab in the middle of it all.
JD: Florida!?! Without telling you?
MM: They told me they were going there on vacation because they thought I 'd be traumatized if they moved.
JD: So what did you do?
MM: Stayed for six months and worked at the Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion factory.
JD: Cute boys in Madrid?
MM: My only two boyfriends ever were from Madrid. Ramon and Felix.
JD: Ah, that's sweet. Did you always know you wanted to be fabulous?
MM: Yes I always wanted to be fabulous. I never had a plan of what I wanted to do with my life but I had a very jet set lifestyle in mind.
MM: Well I have a WIDE range of types but generally I like any man who is a bit of a caricature.
MM: NYC.
MM: But I have the soul of a bottom.
