Lightning Round: See the different answers the ladies come up with to the same questions!
CherryGRRL: (CG): If you could have any actor/actress guest star on the series, who would it be and why?
JENNIFER: Well I have always been in love with Kate Winslet’s talent and her sexy self in general. I wouldn’t mind some of the sexy people from the True Blood series either.
CARMEN: MINDY KALING from The Office!! I actually wrote an awesome part for her in Season 2. Mindy if you are reading this CALL ME!! We need to talk, baby!
HEATHER: Jane Lynch and Betty White. Mud-wrestling.
REENA: OY VEY. Janeane Garofalo, Mindy Kaling, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Rasheeda Jones, Steve Carrell, Aziz Ansari, Kathy Keener, Jed Apatow, oh man, I can’t choose one…and all for the same reason – they are smart geniuses at what they do and they are having FUN, FUN, FUN.
NIKKI: Tina Fey, because she is freakin brilliant!! Oh, and she would make out with me…I mean Vanna…in a dream sequence that would last for all of Season 2.
ROBIN: Betty White – because she’s the new hot young thing this year! And…because she is – and always has been – brilliant in her comedy and in her interviews. I bet she’s a blast to work with.
CG: Choose a ‘theme’ song for The Real Girls Guide, Ally Mcbeal style!
ROBIN: “If I Was Your Man” – Joan Osborne.
HEATHER: “You Turn Me On, I’m a Radio” by Joni Mitchell, as sung by The Bangles.
CARMEN: “When I was a Boy” by Dar Williams (Dar if you’re reading this –CALL ME!! We need to talk, baby!).

NIKKI: Crazy! Two songs just popped into my head: “Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred and the FUNK version Of Etta James’ “W O M AN.”
