She comes from Texas, she can sing, and she's got 'tude. Will this help Misha Williams answer our email questions? EH?

TOTP: 1 - Where are you (as this is email, feel free to lie if you are somewhere dull)
Misha: I am home in Houston, Texas, taking a few days off work and getting to spend time with my family, friends and my kitty after being away in London for three months!

TOTP: 2 - What are you doing (see question 1)?
Misha: I'm actually making guitar pick earrings! I love being creative and starting new projects where I can make something really fun, funky and colourful!

Plectrum earrings, for people with five ears. TOTP: 3 - Tell us all about your new single...
Misha: My new single 'She's Got It' is a really fun song that talks about a beautiful girl who gets judged negatively because people assume she must be conceited. It shows how people can misjudge others without knowing anything about them, and the song shows that any girl can have 'it' and be beautiful in their skin.

TOTP: 4 - How long did it take you to type the answer to question 3?
Misha: Approximately 47 seconds!

TOTP: 5 - Really? Did it require any specialist training?
Misha: Not really, but I guess it helped that I knew how to type before I answered the question!

The future of computers. TOTP: 6 - Are you looking forward to a future where computers can just read your brainwaves rather than expecting you to use a keypad?
Misha: Totally! I think someone needs to come up with an instant travelling machine. Breakfast in London, lunch in Japan, dinner in AustraliaåHow fun would that be??? No more jet lag!

TOTP: 7 - What would you like to be wearing right now?
Misha: Exactly what I'm wearing right now. That's why I put it on!

TOTP: 8 - And what are you actually wearing?
Misha: I'm wearing a black and white striped headband, guitar pick earrings that I made (with Paul Stanley from Kiss on them), a black and red Fender tank top, a short-sleeved solid red dress over the tank, jeans, a black belt, and 6 bracelets that I wear all the time.

TOTP: 8 - What would you like the next person you see to be wearing?
Misha: A rock 'n roll T-shirt and jeans. It may even come true!

TOTP: 10 - Why do you think Donald Duck wears a tunic but no trousers?
Misha: I think the more important question is, why does Donald Duck wear a tunic? He's a duck!

TOTP: 11 - What musical training do you have? Do you play any interesting instruments?
Misha: I have had vocal training since I started performing about nine years ago. It's great to learn how to use your voice without harming it, and it keeps your voice in its best condition. I have also had training in audio engineering and music business in college, and I've taken some guitar classes. So far, I have mostly taught myself what I know on guitar, but there's always room to learn more. As for interesting musical instruments, I have been known to pull out a harmonica during performances in my earlier years.

This is a harmonica. TOTP: 12 - If you and your most musical mates all had your instruments in front of you right now, but were instructed to play a song, any song, right now, without conferring, what would it be?
Misha: Definitely something from an amazing Norwegian band called BigBang! There are too many awesome songs to choose from, so it would have to depend on what kind of mood we were all in!

TOTP: 13 - Now be honest, did you cheat on question 12?
Misha: Nope! No need to cheat!

TOTP: 14 - What was the last thing you posted on your own message board?
Misha: A message letting people know about a show I was doing in England! I love MySpace! Just in case you wanted to know where to find me, you can check out clips of the album and get the latest updates at www.myspace.com/mishawilliamsmusic

TOTP: 15 - That's nice.
Misha: Thank you very much!

TOTP: 16 - Does this little bit of admin make you yearn for a simpler life without personal assistants?
Misha: I have to say, I have a great team! Gotta love them!

TOTP: 17 - One of the answers to these questions won't be interesting enough. Which one would you like to change?
Misha: I really wouldn't want to change any of the answers, because it's all the truth!
