New York Goes To Hollywood has ended and there won’t be a 2nd season, I imagine; but we’d definitely love to see more of her assistant, Lizza Morales.
In light of that, we asked her to take a shot at our hard-biting Twenty Questions segment.

1. Your greatest joy?

The ways in which my family and friends make me feel really alive when we are together!!! Whether it’s laughing so hard I can’t stop or as small as the warm fuzzies I get simply hearing their voice on the other end of a phone, it’s priceless.

2. Your secret fear?

Well that’s why it’s a secret..lol Seriously though, of a terrible death where I can’t do anything to save my loved ones or myself. EEK!!

3. The best advice you have received and from whom?

As my friends will tell you, anything and everything my Grandmother ever said was a jewel of wisdom. They broke the mold when they made her!! One of my favorite sayings though, was to learn to read people (their bodies, words, silence) so well that “when they are coming, you are already going”. This will always keep you one step ahead of the game. It works every time.

4. Your most embarrassing moment?

I was at this fancy Hollywood party several years ago where I was going to meet up with some friends. The house the party was in was gorgeous and the backyard where all the guests were had this huge, oddly shaped pool and jacuzzi in the center. I walked out to the backyard and was making my way over to a group of people I knew and I took a wrong step and walked right into the pool!!! Thank goodness it was one of the corner angles of the pool and that I was wearing black. Without looking up, I quickly jumped out and ran into the kitchen entrance of the house to find a bathroom. I went through the cupboards and found a towel and a dryer and dried off. I went back out to the party 45 minutes later as if nothing had happened, but I still felt beet red and totally embarrassed. Everyone was asking where I had been and I said I had unexpectedly fallen into some extra work. OMG!! Funny thing is no one noticed or at least they didn’t tell me they did..but I guess now that’ll change. EEK!

5. Your happiest moment?

Seeing the unique look of accomplishment, pride and satisfaction all rolled into one on the faces of my Mother and Grandmother when I received my College diploma because it was their victory too!!

6. The biggest turn-on in a man?

A man who knows what he wants and will go after it without reservation or playing games, you see this confidence exude in the way he walks, talks and looks at you. I would seriously melt like an M&M in their hands. LOL

7. The biggest turn-off?

The ones that don’t want to grow up and think that being selfish, cocky and rude to others is somehow charming. NEWSFLASH-it’s not!!

8. The part of your body you like the most?

It’s a tie between my full lips or my Latin booty.

9. The body part you would like to change if given the chance?

Funny enough, when I was a kid I was teased so much about my lips and height. So I wanted to be shorter and have flat lips!! As a teenager, that went out the door when I realized how much people paid to have lips like mine and saw friends practically breaking their ankles to wear heels that would make them as tall as I was naturally. Today, I wouldn’t change a thing.

10. The best book you ever read?

The Wizard of Oz or To Kill A Mocking Bird (TWO WORDS: LOVES IT!!)

11. On a second chance, what would be your dream profession?

A children’s book author or a competitive dancer. Though, I must admit I have always wanted to be a Zamboni driver for a day. Aside from a great name for a job, it looks like they have soooo much fun on the ice.

12. The thing most people do not know about you?

There’s a lot more to me than meets the eye! For starters, I’m a HUGE video game and gadget addict. I need them all. No, seriously!! I also love spending whatever free time I have volunteering, whether it’s running self-esteem workshops for at-risk teens, organizing a fundraising event for a deserving charity, tutoring kids in a classroom or even building a house with Habitat for Humanity, the natural high I get from the look of gratitude, hope and joy in those I help is something that money could never buy. I live a very blessed life now but I had some pretty tough obstacles as a child. Which is why I’m able to let so much roll off my back. I am proof that if you don’t give up or settle, Happy Endings are possible no matter what life throws your way!!

13. Your pet peeves?

Ignorant people, dishonesty and cruelty to others or animals.

14. Your favorite food?

Homemade Mexican food or good quality sushi. YUMMY!!!

15. The man you most admire apart from your father or lover?

It’s a tie between the following:

President John F. Kennedy for starting the Peace Corps and really being vocal and committed to teaching people how important it is to give back to our communities on a local and global level in order to better understand ourselves.

Martin Luther King Jr. for standing up for what he believed to be right to benefit us all, regardless of the personal humiliation and sacrifices he ultimately endured.

16. Your secret personality weapon?

Be your best self at all times and listen with your ears and heart. If that doesn’t work, then smile, walk away and move on. You don’t need their negative energy weighing you down or holding you back.

17. Your personal credo?

When there is “no way”, then take it into your hands and “make a way” but never submit to “walking away”. When all is said and done, your success will be your best revenge!

18. Your irresistible temptation?

Walking home from school, I use to pass the time by stepping on sprinkler heads that stuck out of the grass to watch them sink in and hear that “plop” when they did. To this day, I can’t just walk by when I see one. It always makes me laugh and remember what being a kid felt like

19. The one place you would like to visit before you die?

What a great question!! I’ve always dreamt of going on safari in Africa

20. Your most elusive goal?

On a fun level, entering and winning LG’s 2009 National Texting Championship for being the fastest phone texter in the country and donating part of my winnings to charity. I know I’m fast on that sucker but I want to prove just how fast!!!
Sadly, I was out of the country when it happened this year. Did I mention I’m a HUGE gadget and video game addict…lol

On a professional level, it would be selling my documentary that reveals a side of Hollywood that you don’t see but is more intriguing than anything you normally do. At some point, I also see myself hosting a show that teaches people everything from how easy, fun and even sexy “living green” can be to how to construct a personal blueprint for their lives to live them as they dreamed and not as they settled for.

This was a blast, once you got me started I couldn’t stop..lol
Thanks for all the support, stay tuned for my next adventure.
