Met La Annalisa. Also saw her fiancee. I was under the impression she swung the other way and we chatted. She used to and now doesn't. Very nice.
OMFG -- you actually ASKED her about that?? It was supposed to be a secret, wasn't it? You have balls of steel, my dear.
yeah...? well, I still find her annoying with regularity.
So how were folks under that impression that she played for that one team to begin with? Just curious.
Without naming names: one of us (not me) chatted with a KFOG staff member at a live appearance some years ago who spilled the beans. But it's never been mentioned on the air, she was never officially "out". So when we heard she was engaged it was a WTF? moment.
Well I can name the names since it was me talking to Greg about 5 years ago. Since then I've heard other fogheads (such as at Live & Local mornings) talking about it as if it were their assumption as well. And I have noticed her dropping some pretty broad hints from time to time - once she said something about 'not needing a man' that was particularly obvious.
I don't dislike her the way Tinka does, but have found her a bit annoying on the air. However the two times I met her in person (at the now defunct Wingding events) I thought she was actually quite a babe & got a minor crush on her, and the handful of times I've phoned in I thought she was super nice one-on-one. So I figured it was just as well she was playing for the other team.
Now I wish I'd tried harder!!
wow, that's good stuff...! I must say I've never met her in person or spoken to her one-on-one via phone, so my impressions of her are exclusively from her on-air chatter. Her sing-song delivery has always bugged me, but the thing that sent me over was that one time recently when she used Dire Straits' "Expresso Love" in a My Three Songs about coffee. I was like, wha...?
To jump from those experiences all the way to dislike would be unfair to her, but I suppose I've REALLY played some of those feelings up and now it's become this "thing." And in the big scheme of things, there are worse deejays on the airwaves -- the morning crew at the Bone (except for Sullly) are bad for radio (and civilization in general) than Annalisa ever will be, so on the spectrum of who should be allowed on the air in my own version of a fascist utopia, she could have some airtime while Lamont (and to a lesser degree, Tonelli) would be recording engineers for PSAs. Keep Sully around, his laugh is too infectious.
And I've always thought she was attractive from her photos -- like I wanna run my fingers through her hair and tell her she's phenomenal.
eta: btw, I want to attend the get together as well.
