Vic: How did you become aware of and interested in the Mr. Romance contest?

Rob: Well, believe it or not I picked up the newspaper at work, the Sun. It was slow at work, I was just checking it out, and I saw this page with Cherif, Rob Ashton, Alan Johnson if I'm not mistaken, and a few other guys and big lettering saying, "Looking for new Mr. Romance 1999," And I thought, "Okay, that's interesting," but I didn't think anything of it. And then I got a call from a buddy of mine and he says, "Hey, Rob! Did you see the paper today?" and I said, "Which one?" He says, "The Sun", I say, "Yeah," and he says, "You've got to enter this contest." And I say, "WHY?" and he says, "They're looking for your type of dude!" I tell him, "No! That's crazy man," and he says, "No! You've got to do it! You've got to!" And then a few other people suggested it. And you know what - I thought, "Why not? What's the worst thing that can happen?"

Vic: Why do you think these people thought you would be good in this contest? Because you're handsome or because they thought of you as being really a romantic person?

Rob: Now that's a tricky question! Honestly speaking, I think it was because of a "look." I think it's based on a sort of look that portrays that gladiator/Viking type of man with the long hair, and kinda "buff-y" looking. And it is what it is. The "look." So I guess with my hair at the time they thought hey, why not. I think that's what it was because it's hard to tell how romantic you are in a photo. You know, they can make you look any way they want. How romantic you really are can't be analyzed through a picture. I mean, it can be fantasized any way you want it to be but you really never know.

Vic: Did you know when you were going into the contest that the "romance" part would be such a big part of it? That it would be more than just "looks"???

Rob: Noooooo! No! I was in too deep! I had no idea! Swear to God, Vic. I was, "No, this is not happening!" Then they said, "Okay, you've made the top ten!" There were over four hundred entries in Toronto! Have you heard about the way they judged it?

Vic: I talked to Ryan Storm a little bit about it, but he didn't give me a lot of detail in that area, so I don't really know.

Rob: What happened is they put ten pictures a day in the Sun and ladies would judge - pick the top three every day. And this went on and on, and then whoever got the most votes made up the last ten. And then I thought, "Okay, we made top ten so the competition can't be that bad anymore. Then I find out you've got to compete against all the other winners - they came up from the States and Europe and Finland and down south and I'm going, "Ohhh no, there's no way in hell I'm gonna take this one!" But you know what? All the guys were great. I mean, everybody had their "thing" and it's hard to tell who can really be number one or whatever or walk away with a prize like Mr. Romance. And I did not realize how big it is!

Vic: Isn't it amazing, Rob!

Rob: I was just totally blown away at the actual convention. I met the people from Romantic Times and Shannon was helping me right through it all and I thought, "These people are GREAT!"

Vic: The "Ladies of Romance" are good people - and there are a lot of us, aren't there?!

Rob: Yes! And you know what? I was so sad when it ended. I didn't want to go home! I'm serious. It was like, maybe it's just my head right now, all the attention that I've been taking in for the last few days but you know what? Everybody was so nice!

Vic: Yeah, it's an incredible group of women, really it is. I don't know about the men that are involved, but I know from my experience on the web and meeting - I call us the "ladies of romance" - I have yet to meet one that I didn't love and adore. But not a lot of people know about this - this convention. But there are a lot of people involved in it. And you really do have to be a very, very special man to be chosen for this competition. The ladies of romance have very high expectations of what a man should be!

Rob: I think you're right. And I think it's hard to ... well, "special" is definitely a good word for many guys but I think it depends on your character. Because some guys are great guys but they just can't open up. Can't deal with that kind of thing. And it's sad, but it doesn't make them any different.

Vic: Well, it's "typical" - it's typical of a lot of men.

Rob: But some guys - some guys are really good at making it "look good" and you know, I got to see everybody individually and everybody really analyzes and pays attention to one another.

Vic: Really? Okay, now that's something I was going to ask you about. The atmosphere behind the scenes between you guys. Is there a camaraderie and is there a real serious sense of competition?

Rob: Oh yeah. I think everybody was pretty cool. It was very calm and supportive - until the actual competition! There was still support, but there was a handful of guys that I felt like were, okay, just stay away. They didn't want to be bothered. I don't know why.

Vic: Just a feeling you had?

Rob: Maybe they were just nervous. Maybe it was a case of, "Hey, I just don't want to deal with anyone right now." And some guys take it really seriously, and I can understand. They're in a situation where they're thinking, "Hey, I want to do really well here." Because it's not just about your looks. You've got to go out there and put on that show and have it together.

Vic: Do you think that maybe many, or some, took the contest kind of lightly, kind of oh, this is a lark, a joke sort of a thing - and then once they got in, they found out it was different?

Rob: I would not say it was taken as a joke. But I would say a few of them might have taken it lightly, yes. But not as a joke.

Vic: I just had the impression in a case or two that perhaps the contest was taken a bit lightly, and then it hit that is was not to be taken lightly and that was quite a surprise!

Rob: You know, it is a surprise! It was a surprise to me as well! No matter what you do, in a thing like this you're not really prepared. You're given this notice - all of a sudden you've made the top ten. This convention's happening now and you show up and this is what's going on for the next four days. And what do you do? You enter and just take it as it comes! That Saturday came along and whoa!

Vic: And did you have fun during the convention with all the ladies and such?

Rob: Yeahhh, I had a blast! I was tired though, by Saturday afternoon just before the contest. I was tired. I wasn't getting much sleep.

Vic: I bet! You guys were partying!!!

Rob: No.

Vic: No? Robbbb ...

Rob: No! I didn't party at all. Oh, no. I prepared. I wanted to be prepared.

Vic: Hey, listen. I've seen snapshots from my friends who were there! Okay??? I know you guys partied!

Rob: Well, maybe my partying is a little different (Vic: Yeah, uh-huh - we're both chuckling here!) What I'm trying to say is I wasn't drinking or anything like that.

Vic: Oh, I see - but you do have to mingle with the ladies.

Rob: Yeah! But you know, it was good! And I look forward to seeing them all again!!

Vic: About the costume competition. Who chose your character for you and who decided on your costume? By the way, you do tight black leather verrrry well! (I think I made him blush here, girls!)

Rob: I was told by Shannon (a coordinator and my partner in the posedown) that there were only two characters left - one was a pirate and one a cowboy. And I first thought, "A cowboy, that's a good idea." But then I thought, "No, I'll go with the pirate thing." I had the costume! That shirt I wore is mine! And you know, it's freaky because I brought that top from the States. And I bought it because I've always liked that "look."

Vic: Oh, and it is you! But you just don't find that style everywhere.

Rob: You don't find it! Not those! The pirate tops? And I had to order it but I thought to myself, I love it. But you know what? I couldn't wear it anywhere! Know what I mean? I had nowhere to wear it! Where was I going to wear it? People would look at me and think, "Mannn, this guy's is waaay behind times!"

But I did buy it because, at the time, I thought maybe it would be good for some photo sessions with my band, the rock band. You know, a bit of the "glamour" look, but it didn't happen. It was just too dramatic looking for the band. And I never wore it. And look at this, the contest comes along and I didn't have to rent anything!!!

Vic: See, you were fated for this, weren't you?!

Rob: I had the leather pants.

Vic: You wear leather pants, eh? (S'pose he heard me lickin' my lips???)

Rob: Once in a while.

Vic: Well, leather's "in" this year.

Rob: I haven't worn it in a while, but ...

Vic: You should wear it all the time!! (We definitely need to get onto another subject here!!)

Okay ... in the posedown part of the competition, who does the choreography? Do you just work with your partner or does someone tell you how to do it or what?

Rob: I came up with that with my partner, Shannon. Everyone does their own thing and that made it even more interesting. You think there is no way you can do it, but you know what? You do! And you use your own creative thoughts. I really enjoyed it.

Vic: Is there a funny, behind-the-scenes story from the contest you can tell us???

Rob: Ha, ha - you're gonna keep this quiet, right?

Vic: Of course, I wouldn't tell anyone! (All fingers and toes crossed here!!!)

Rob: Let's see. Well, one thing that made me laugh (and I won't mention any names, of course), but I had to get away from a few guys that just kept spraying their hair!! And I was howling! I had to get away! I couldn't even breathe! These guys wouldn't stop! I know it didn't look like it, but there was some hair spray!

Vic: Oh, there was some beautiful hair there, though, I tell ya'.

Rob: Yeah.

Vic: And that includes yours!

Rob: Thank you. Though I did get a haircut.

Vic: You did? (Audible silent moment here.) Oh pleeeeeze don't tell me this!

You know, I was going to ask you this question - with the new look of shorn locks, crewcuts, and buzzes, why does Rob Moratti still have gorgeous long hair. But I guess Rob Moratti no longer has gorgeous long hair? (As I swallow the lump in my throat and try to act brave about this.)

Rob: Noooo, I would not cut it that short!

Vic: (HUGH sigh of relief here, but still ...) How short is it???

Rob: No, no, I cut off a couple of inches but actually it's kind of similar, just a little shorter.

Vic: Well, don't cut it too short!!!

Rob: Actually I like it better - it's easier to maintain.

Vic: Wellll, I dunno ... (Still skeptical here.)

Rob: You can be the judge of it when you see the CD. That was at its shortest. But now it's grown back and it's actually pretty cool.

Vic: You have beauuuutiful hair!

Rob: Thank you, Vic. I bet you say that to all the guys though - I know it!

Vic: Only to those who are worthy! But I do love a man with gorgeous long locks!

Rob: Well, it's longer than Harvey's. (Harvey Stables)

Vic: Well, I hope so!!! You know, even with as poor a quality as the RT tapes were, your hair still looked beautiful.

Okay, on with it - Rob, you have a very relaxed and natural stage presence and are very good at spontaneity. Were you nervous up there? You didn't seem like it.

Rob: I'd be lying if I said no. A little bit, sure. You always feel it.

Vic: Do you have any background in acting or drama?

Rob: Not much. I mean I got into it, I took some lessons and did a couple of things in front of people, but overall not much. But I have been onstage a lot performing with my music.

Vic: But that must have been a little bit nerve-wracking, being before a large audience of very critical women.

Rob: You know what, though? I didn't feel that way - because I had met everyone, and by the time the contest came along it was great! Everyone had been so nice! I knew who was there and it was like - I can dig this! And people were so supportive.

Vic: You know, I've heard something - of course, having never been in a "beauty contest" myself, I wouldn't know, but I've heard women say that after something like that, they felt very "exploited." Did you ever feel like that? Like you were being "exploited" as a man?

Rob: No. Not at all!

Vic: Good! Because there really is no other - what can we call them - "beauty contests" for men, besides bodybuilding. I think this is the only contest for men where looks and personality really enter into it.

Rob: Yeah, I think personality had a lot to do with it. Which is nice.

Vic: Well, you fit right in there. So, let's just talk about you. Like your age, your height, or any vital stats you'd like to share with us.

Rob: Oh, no! Borrring!

Vic: I doubt that!

Rob: Well, I'm going to be 31 in December.

Vic: Ooooo, you're not a baby are you?

Rob: Ohhhhh. (He groans as if I have insulted him!)

Vic: Well hey, women want men, not baby boys! And I'd say you definitely qualify as all man!

Rob: Yeah, time flies.

Vic: 'Specially when you're having a ball, eh? So, how tall are you?

Rob: Five feet, ten inches.

Vic: Well, come on, tell me about your hair color, your eye color - you know, tell me about you!

Rob: I would say my eyes are sort of hazel/green, my hair is medium to dark brown. I'm single. But I do have a lady.

Vic: Did you have a very favorite part of the convention?

Rob: My favorite part was - well, it's hard to say - but what was really good is I really enjoyed mingling and talking with the readers. I enjoyed that a lot. They were so nice. Many women from so many different places.

Vic: Fun getting all that attention, huh?!

Rob: Yes, but you know what? They're giving you all that attention, but they really don't have to. And they didn't "overdo" it.

Vic: Well, if you don't deserve it, you don't get it.

Rob: Yeah, they're not overdoing it. They're being nice to you as long as you're nice to them, but you know, I just found everyone to be really sweet. It's a hard call, you know - but I would say that was one of the most exciting times

Vic: Getting to know the ladies?

Rob: Yeah! And you know, nobody really went overboard. There could be that fine line between flirting and "uh-oh!"

Vic: This is an amazing fact - you didn't find any flirts at RT????? I can't believe that, Rob! Well, I guess it's 'cause I wasn't there!

Rob: Well, it actually did happen.

Vic: Did that offend you?

Rob: Ummm, I don't know if it offended me but it did make me feel a little uncomfortable trying to deal with it. It was kind of like - we've been nice here, we've been getting along for a couple of days and I didn't want that to change.

Vic: Are you going to be in the competition this year?

Rob: No.

Vic: You're not? Why not? Well, I'm really disappointed, I will tell you that.

Rob: Why?

Vic: Why? Because you were my first choice last year, and I wanted you to enter again and no doubt win! I just don't know why you didn't get it in the first place! (My personal prejudice comes out here!). Why are you not entering?

Rob: You know, I didn't even think about it really. I just thought, you know, I was happy with what I got.

Vic: Well, you did end up doing a cover, too, didn't you?!

Rob: Yeah! What was probably my most unforgettable moment was when I won the Readers Choice Award.

Vic: You know Rob, to me, that was as much an honor as winning the Mr. Romance title.

Rob: And what happened to me afterwards is, I had a few people come up to me and say, "How does it feel to get the most important award?" And I think, "What? Why is this happening? The most important?" But to me, all the awards are important. And what was really unforgettable is Stephen Zacharias came up to me and presented me with yet another award! He offered me a cover! The same prize as the Mr. Romance! And I'm like whoooa! Now I'm blown away! And I thought, "Okay, I got the Readers Choice award, this is where it ends for me. I'm happy." Then he gave me that, too! I don't know, I guess he just wanted me to do a cover! They flew me out to New York, did the shoot with Pino and Michael Frost, and it was a blast! I did what I didn't think I would get to do!

Vic: I am so happy about that. And I am so happy that you got the Readers Choice award, because to me that was as great an honor because we readers are, IMHO, the ones that count to tell you the truth!

Rob: It made me feel good to know that was coming from the ladies. The people that I actually got to meet. And I knew it came from them and I thought, "This is nice." We spent time talking for four days and they made their choice. It was really sweet and meant so much.

Vic: It says a lot about you, Rob. You did very well in the competition with your answers and your appearance and how you related and came across to them.

Rob: Thank you. I tried, Vic. I just went out and made the best of it, and maybe I was a bit nervous and all but ...

Vic: Well, you're just so damn cute, how could they not pick you?! (Embarrassed chuckle on the other end of the phone!)

So you've done the book cover - has the book come out yet?

Rob: No, it comes out next month.

Vic: Have you got the cover flats yet?

Rob: No, but Shannon said they might have them at the convention.

Vic: I get FIRST DIBS!!!

Do you know the name of the book or the author?

Rob: The author is Laurel Collins, and it's called JORDAN'S HEART. I guess I'm Jordan!

Vic: (Swoon - JORDAN'S HEART - is that romantic or what?!) Can you tell us anything about the book? Is it historical?

Rob: It is historical. And I think it's about a guy looking for a treasure.

Vic: Could this be a pirate?

Rob: Umm, I don't think so.

By the way, that is really nice that RBL Romantica put me on your site.

Vic: Oh, you mean our Cover Babes page?

Rob: "BABES." (He chuckles.)

Vic: Did you get a chance to take a look at Ryan's or Rob's interviews?

Rob: Yes I did - a while ago.

Vic: Oh good, so I didn't scare you away then.

Rob: No! Not at all!

Vic: You are a hairstylist, a musician, and now a cover model, and not necessarily in that order. Most people blessed with a talent in music, that is always their first love. Is that so with you?

Rob: Yes, yes, yes!

Vic: Talk to us about your music - tell us all about it.

Rob: I have recorded two CDs with my band, named Moratti, and it's more of a hard rock - and I signed with a German company first, then with a Japanese record label. I love my rock 'n' roll. I love it. But I've always had that "thing" where I love singing almost anything. I like romance. I love romantic music. You know, it obviously never fit with the band, the sound that it had. So I thought I'd shoot out a solo recording in 1996/97 - somewhere around there. And I brought a few boxes to the convention and gave them out to a lot of people.

Vic: I will look forward to hearing it.

Rob: I'd love to send you one - where are you located?

Vic: In California.

Rob: You're in CALIFORNIAAAAA?!

Vic: Yep, a California Girl.

Rob: Mussst be niiiiice.

Vic: Well, it is about 80 degrees here right now .

Rob: You're so lucky!

Vic: Yep, two hours from the Pacific Ocean, two hours from the mountains, got my pool in the backyard - it is nice.

Rob: Hey, you can't feel bad about not going to the convention - you've got your own party going on!

Vic: Yep, as often as possible! I have lots of my Rebel friends here during the summertime! We love lying by the pool, going to San Francisco or to the foothills. Yes, it is a great place to be. You're up in Toronto, right?

Rob: Yes I am - and I don't have a pool.

Vic: Hey, you can come and use mine! You can come this summer when all the girls come. We'll take good care of you

Rob: Yes! Next time I'm out west!

Vic: OH! Speaking of coming west - I have a question for you from Linda. She wants to know what you're doing the last weekend in April. That's our RBL Sleepover in Las Vegas - you're invited.

Rob: Really? When is it?

Vic: Yes, we have quite a time! The last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in April. Lots of us Rebels from around the country meet in Vegas and we parteeee down!

Rob: I might just surprise you!

Vic: (We love surprises, don't we girls? *Eg*) Well, Linda says she's got room in her "bunk" for you and she'll share with the rest of us. (I know she will - right, Linda?!?!?!)

When did you first get into music? Have you been into it since you were a child?

Rob: I guess I was about 15 or 16 years old.

Vic: And your mother had to suffer the garage band, right? (Been there/done that!)

Rob: Yeah, exactly! But in the basement, which was even worse. It was cold! I like to have a little bit of heat. But we used to practice at my drummer's place in his garage, and I can remember I used to sing with gloves on! We had the kerosene heater!

And by the way, I want to send you a copy of my CD. Since you didn't get to come to the convention, I want you to have it from me.

Vic: Ohhhh, you're kidding!

Rob: Nope, it's the least I can do.

Vic: Wow, I can't wait to hear it and tell everyone about it. Are they original songs or are they older songs? Did you write any of them?

Rob: I wrote all of them.

Vic: Really? Wow!

Rob: Have you heard any of it?

Vic: Noooo!

Rob: Wow, I could be really bad and you don't even know it.

Vic: (How bad are you???? *EG*) What kind of music do you really prefer to do? Is hard rock really where your heart is?

Rob: I love rock 'n' roll and I love ballads. But I do think my ballads are the nicest. I feel like I express myself more. My voice comes through best in a ballad more than anywhere else. And everyone seems to relate to love more than anything else because everybody's been there.

Vic: But it doesn't seem like that's "where it's at" right now. It's not what the younger generation is listening to.

Rob: It depends which kids. But look at bands like Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. They are releasing so many ballads and are the lucky, chosen kids. They aren't writers, they're kids. You can't expect them to have that kind of experience to know how to write that type of song. The record labels know the formula. They know what works. They "make" these guys what everybody wants them to be in the studio - meanwhile, the guys behind the scenes, the ones who are writing the songs and the music are making the money. The royalties go to the writers. The kids get money from the record sales, but to them, I think they can take it or leave it.

Vic: They do have a nice sound, though.

Rob: Their songs are really good. The production is phenomenal. They're making sure these guys are singing in key all the time - making sure their harmonies are down.

Vic: You have been really busy all summer working on something, haven't you?

Rob: Oh, yes! I have been busy finishing off this record for the convention!

Vic: Really? For the convention?

Rob: Yes, I worked on a new one, getting it prepared and ready because they are having me perform there. So I'll be busy entertaining. I wrote an "EP" - five songs for the CD - and it sounds very, very hip! It's an updated sound, it's got some dance tracks, and of course a couple of ballads that I worked on very hard. I did all my own background harmonies on this record. And I did work very hard on it. I wanted it to sound just right, Vic, so I did a lot of it and I'm very pleased with the result and I can't wait to get the package in my hands. It's still getting printed. That's how close I came to deadline! I'm like, OH GOD, I've got to be out of here by the 8th and I can't go there without a CD!! They want me there on the 8th and I've got to go there with a product!

Vic: Are you taking your band with you?

Rob: No. I am taking the CD - I did a mix of music and background vocals without lead vocal, so I will get there and do the lead myself.

Vic: Wowwww - you are a very talented man!

Rob: I will see that you get one of those, too.

Vic: (How does he know I love being showered with gifts?! Or a lovely man on occasion, too! Ha, ha!)

Now, as far as your modeling goes, where do you want to go with that? Are you happy with what you've done or do you want to take it further?

Rob: I'm very happy with what I've done. I'd like to go a little further. I mean, I'd take it anywhere! But it isn't all up to me. In a way it is - I mean, I could probably get involved with an agency and consider getting some work. But it's tough for me because, like I said, I've been so busy with the studio and writing and performing and recording, that that always really gets the best of my time. And when I get back from Houston, I'll be shopping a record deal and that will take up a lot of time as well. And I am going to be shopping management and agencies all over the States.

Vic: You would really probably need an agent to work on the modeling thing for you.

Rob: Yeah. And I'd love that, but I do need someone saying, "Hey Rob, let's do this." I'd like to do more of the modeling, but my music will always come first. I can't turn my back on something I've put my whole life into, you know? Yes, it is my first love, but it is a lot of work.

Vic: Do you consider yourself a romantic person, Rob? And if you do, why?

Rob: Ahhhh, how could you ask me that, Vic???

Vic: Well, do you? Are you a romantic person?

Rob: Am I? I guess I am, sure. Why not? (He laughs self-consciously.)

Vic: Okay, you're a romantic guy. Why do you think you are? What makes you a romantic guy?

Rob: Oh God, this is tricky - I've gotta be careful with this one, eh? This one will make the headlines, right?

Vic: This is a key question, Rob! Okay, let me ask you this - what is the most romantic thing you've ever done for a woman? What do you think you do for women that makes you a romantic?

Rob: You know one of the most romantic things I've ever done? I wrote a song for my girlfriend. I felt it was very romantic because it was very personal, you know?

Vic: That is very romantic! Do you do romantic things on a regular basis?

Rob: Yeah. I think so. You know how some guys just aren't romantic?

Vic: Yeah, I do.

Rob: I've never been like that. I have always been more the type of guy where, when I'm with a lady, I give her as much of myself as I can - and lately, maybe because I am older, I cook for her!

Vic: God, you are a package! (The visual: standing at the stove, tight leather pants, no shirt, flowing brunette locks, candles on the table to catch the beauty of his warm skin and eyes - oh dear, I stray!)

Rob: That's so sweet, thanks. I don't know if that's considered romantic.

Vic: Well, I think romantic is a man having his lady in his heart at all times and doing things he knows will make her happy. Not necessarily the big things, but things he knows will make her happy. Like writing a love song just for her or cooking a luscious, sensuous dinner! Or just a simple caress - making her know you love her all the time.

Rob: I agree. There are so many things.

Vic: Well, if you write romantic music, then I would bet you do have a romantic heart.

Rob: You know what else I find to be very romantic? I share a lot. I share my dreams. A lot of guys don't share too much of themselves. I will share anything with the person I love.

Vic: That's very important.

What qualities do you think make you irresistible to women?

Rob: (Got him again - he's blushing again!) Oh, God ...

Vic: Come on - don't be humble.

Rob: It's hard ...

Vic: Well, that definitely helps ...

Rob: (He caught that one! I know his ears are burning!) Well, you said it!

Vic: Okay, okay!

Have you ever read a romance book?

Rob: (Bit of a pause here ...) No. I'd be lying if I said yes. But you know, maybe I should.

Vic: All men should read one romance book a month!

Rob: You're right.

Vic: I am! Men could learn so much from romance books.

Rob: You're right - the authors are ladies telling what women want from men.

Vic: Okay, what qualities do you think make a woman sensuous? What turns you on?

Rob: Well, physically speaking I guess beautiful skin. Her hair. I like long hair. I'm open minded, I like short hair as well, but I always find myself dating women with long hair. I like a woman who keeps herself physically fit. It's the kind of thing I do as well and I can appreciate a woman who takes care of herself

Vic: And women think that way about men, too.

Rob: I guess I could sit here and tell you what about her body that turns me on, but that's really not where it's at. I do like a lady who is really soft-spoken and not so aggressive, but who knows what she wants. And if she's with me, I need attention from her. And consistently. That, to me, is something I need. I don't like a woman who is with me but her mind wanders. Does that make sense?

Vic: Yes, it does and I think maybe it goes back to what we were talking about the romance and giving thing.

Rob: Everybody needs to feel loved, you know? And I believe words aren't enough. I need to feel it.

Vic: And because you feel that way, do you feel that you give that in return?

Rob: Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Vic: I do think you are a romantic at heart, Rob.

Okay, here's the last question and I think it's kind of a fun one. Welcome to the RBL Fantasy Ranch!

Rob: Oh God, here we go ...

Vic: Here you will find any time period, any place, any woman of your dreams. Sit back, relax, close your eyes and make your most sensuous fantasy come true. We invite you to be as explicit as you'd like. We are romance readers and thrive on romance and sensuality. Let your imagination run wild and have fun with it.

Rob: OH NO!

Vic: Let me say this to you, Rob - you are not obligated to say anything which would make you uncomfortable. This is a fantasy and whatever is within your comfort zone is fine with us. Can you think of something?

Rob: Well, I've thought about walking into an office. And there is a beautiful secretary. We don't ask any questions, but I know this girl wants to be with me. I watch her get up and she goes into another room and naturally, I follow. We're in a quiet room and we could be caught! Without any questions, we "make it happen" - then we walk away from it all!!

Vic: Sounds like fun to me! By the way, my office address is ... (*EG*)

Well, thank you Rob, for spending time here with us at RBL Romantica. It has definitely been a pleasure talking to you. Have a great time at RT, and I know all the ladies are looking forward to seeing you there and hearing your music. All our best of luck with your music career and keep in touch to let us know how it's going.

~Vic
