Girls will be girls: LOCAL MOM, 37, WINS GROOVY DREAM DATE WITH PREZ Iowa Hawk's Twisted News 9/29/98 IowaHawk LOCAL MOM, 37, WINS GROOVY DREAM DATE WITH PREZ By IowaHawk, special to FR Alexandria, VA (APUPI): Giggling, freckled-faced Debbie Lasky, 37, of 11208 Windmere Circle, became the envy of her neighborhood friends yesterday when she won an all-expense paid date with heartthrob President Bill Clinton. It was grand prize in Soccer Mom Beat Magazine's “Win a Groovy Dream Date with Bill” essay contest. Her winning essay was titled “I would do anything to win a groovy dream date with Bill.” Lasky, a mother of three, “knew something was up” when the Soccer Mom Beat Magazine Groovymobile minivan pulled up in the driveway, playing “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies. “My heart was pounding,” recalls Lasky. “When I saw the camera crew, I thought I was gonna faint or something!” What the camera crew captured on film was Lasky, overcome with emotion, screaming and shaking uncontrollably, as Soccer Mom Beat Editor Gloria Steinem officially informed her that her essay had won. “It was so cute -- Debbie began sobbing and hyperventilating from the excitement,” said Steinem, who also edits Ms. Magazine. “Good thing Dan was home.” Debbie's husband Dan Lasky, 44, is an Emergency Medical Technician who administered CPR to revive his hyperventilating wife. He takes the excitement in stride. “It's kind of cute. She collects the Bill Clinton trading cards, and has his posters up all over our bedroom. She even put giant Bill Clinton flower power and heart stickers all over her new Dodge Durango.” Dan, who has been married to Debbie for 13 years, doesn't worry about his wife's Bill Clinton obsession. “Oh, you know girls with their puppydog crushes. It's probably just a phase. She went through the same thing with Bobby Sherman, Donny Osmond and Robby Benson.” “Of course,” adds Dan, “That was when she was 10, long before we got married and had three children.” Dan pauses to admonish a giggling flurry of neighborhood women running up the stairs to meet his lucky wife Debbie. “Hey you girls! Take it easy on the staircase!” he chuckles. “I told her she could have a slumber party tonight to celebrate.” “Oh my Gawd, you are like the luckiest girl in the whole entire universe,” fawns Lori Gillespie, 42, mother of 11 year-old twins and a Senior Account Executive at CMK Holdings, a import-export firm. She is sprawled out, face down on Debbie's hand made quilt. The pink quilt is dominated by a large heart that proudly proclaims “BC + DL 4 Ever!!!!!!” “Truth or Dare,” challenges giggling Janice Robbins, 44, chairperson of the local chapter of the National Organization of Women, applying her toenail polish. “Truth,” replies a giggling Lasky, fiddling with her curlers. “Are you gonna kiss him?” The room erupts in squeals, as the women kick their legs furiously on the bed. “That's for me to know and you to find out,” says Lasky, as the others pummel her with pillows. “He is so dreamy,” says Cheryl Ahern, 38, a corporate tax attorney, unfolding the Giant Bill Pullout Poster from the latest issue of Soccer Mom Beat. The other women sigh in agreement, as they carefully read the articles entitled “Bill's Most Embarrassing Moment” and “Super Secrets of Dream Boy Bill.” They are relieved when the article reveals that the President “wants to have a special girl, but isn't seeing anyone right now.” Contest winner Lasky tries to explain the President's ability to make them swoon. “Its like, everybody goes, ‘oh, he's like such a bad guy' and stuff, but he's really not, he's really special and sincere and groovy.” The others nod in agreement. “Not like that Newt Gingrich,” says Ahern. “Eeeeeeewww,” the others agree. “Plus, he's like, for free abortions and stuff,” adds Robbins. Downstairs in the den, Lasky's children are proud of their mother's accomplishment. “Yeah, whatever,” says proud son Dylan, 11. He returns to his game of Duke Nukem 3-D on the family computer, as sisters Kaley, 7, and Megan, 4, watch a replay of “Reservoir Dogs” on HBO. Meanwhile, their mom Debbie excitedly reads through the contest winner's materials supplied by Steinem. “You will be whisked by limousine to exciting Washington DC, where your dream date will begin in the White House,” Lasky reads aloud to her squealing friends. “Your dream date will be chaperoned by NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain,” she reads on, as the girls sigh dreamily. “Here is a list of things you'll need for your dream date with superhunk Bill.” Lasky carefully reads the list. “What are Altoids?” Copyright 1998, the IowaHawk.
