    • Twelve years ago today, I was interviewed on @nbc6 about my poetry book, Naked Desires... . Click on the link in my BIO to watch it or go to https://nicoleluongo.com/about-naked-desires-book/.. . I’d never been on live t.v. before, so this was an exciting day! My best friend @reneeholiday drove me to the studio, and it meant so much to me to have her by my side. Another mutual friend @tone_simple_pirate came to the studio to support me. . The guy who inspired the book was there too, but as usual, he tried to make everything about him. . . He was in a bad mood, and I was determined not to let that take away from my moment to shine.. . Here are some things most people don’t know: . In 2002, I self-published my book for $110.. . I sought out, booked the interview by myself over e-mail that I checked at the library. I’ve always been my own agent.. . I mailed a copy of my book to the studio ahead of time, but it wasn’t there.. . Of course, I came prepared with a hard back edition of my book and an easel, which you’ll see on the set.. . I got my hair done the day before.. . I did my own makeup. I had terrible acne my entire life, and this was a rare time — thanks to antibiotics and prescription medications (which I’d tried before over the years, along with countless other products) — that I had clear skin.. . I picked out my own wardrobe. My Kimono top is from @lauriefelt when she was on @hsn. I think my black pants from the @gap were $10 on clearance! They were so soft, and they looked expensive.. . I borrowed the necklace I’m wearing from my mom.. . I wasn’t feeling well the day of the interview (not nerves). The joys of being a woman LOL!.. . My answers to the interview questions were spontaneous. I wasn’t given them ahead of time. I met Trina —who hadn’t read my book but she’s so good at what she does, you’ll *think* she did — a couple of minutes before we went on the air.. . Thankfully, I’ve always been good at impromptu speaking, and it paid off!.. . My friends snuck a signed copy of my book in the bookcase on the set. That was fun! #nicoleluongo #whatCPlookslike #cerebralpalsy #authorsofig #poetsofig #nakeddesires #NBC6 #NationalPoetryMonth
