Alright ladies, your overwhelming requests to have Peter DeCicco to grace my Fantasy hunk gallery
have certainly been heard. To my greatest delight, Peter contacted me before we left for the Romantic Times convention last
November and I was immediately bowled over by his good looks, sweetness, sensuality and charm.
The first thing he said to me when we finally met was, "Do I get my hug now?" Oh yes, not only did I give him a big hug
but my big seal of approval. Dressed in our vampire costumes, I took him aside to have this interview (with the Vampire- Big
Grin).
"Is Peter DeCicco your real name? It's Italian right? And where were you originally from?"
Peter flashed me a sexy smile. "Yes, Peter Anthony DeCicco is my real name, I'm Italian although lots of time, I'm mistaken
as Irish. I was originally from Westchester County NY but I have been living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the past 12 years."
"How did you come to know about the Mr. Romance competition?"
"Two really cool ladies from Romantic Times found me at LaBare and asked me to be in the competition."
"Are you having fun?"
"Oh yes, I really enjoyed myself. Met lots of cool, intelligent, sophisticated and interesting women. Did I kiss enough ass
here?", Peter said with a laugh. "Just kidding!!! I felt like a celebrity. One tend to forget about the outside world when you are
here."
I couldn't help noticing the crowd of women staring at Peter, trying their best to draw his attention. "What do you do for
a living?"
"I am a male dancer and body shot guy at LaBare in Ft. Lauderdale and also work as a sales person during the day."
"Body shot guy, you mean having pictures taken of your body?" I asked innocently, thinking he might have posed nude for
the club and magazines.
Peter shook his head and pointed at one of the models who was entertaining a reader with a drink on his big firm chest.
I watched as the reader licked the salt off the model's chest before draining her tiny glass and then captured the slice of lime with
her mouth from the model's mouth. The women surrounding them cheered and applauded. The reader's face was red with excitement
and from the drink.
"Oh I see, hmm...pretty raunchy and intimate, isn't it? From all the emails my readers sent to me about you, they raved about
your presence on stage. Besides dancing, do you do any acting? What kind of roles did you play?"
"I was an extra in Mortal Combat (TV series). I have a brown belt in Tae-Kwon Do and that movie fit me perfectly."
"Do you like to sing?"
Peter grinned and shook his head. "Cats scream when I sing."
"You're funny. Who is your favorite actor/actress?"
"Johnny Depp. My favorite actress is my sister, Angela who is performing in Les Miserables on Broadway. She's the
talented one."
"Wow, that's fantastic for her. Who inspires you the most?"
"My dad, he has always been there for me."
"Who will you call first to tell about good news e.g. being chosen for a romance cover?"
"I guess being from an Italian family, I am a "Momma's Boy" so I would probably call mom first."
"What kinds of books do you read? You don't have to say romance just to please me," I said with a wink.
"Honestly, I got hooked on romance novels, they are a good read. I also like books on Astronomy. I am an amateur
astroner and someday would like to discover a comet. They name the comet after you if you are the first to discover it. I just hope
that the one I discover isn't headed towards Earth."
I raised my eyebrows in surprise."Great to know that, you're the second man that I've personally known to have actually read
romance novels. It would indeed be fabulous to discover a comet, that would be a great honor."
"From the way you look, am I right that you don't sleep in PJs? Are you a boxers or briefs guy?"
Peter grinned. "I like to sleep naked. I'm a boxers guy."
"When you kiss your sweetie, do you kiss with your eyes open or close?"
"That would depend on where I kiss her. My eyes would be closed when I kiss her lips....."
"Have you ever make love at places other than your bedroom?".
Peter said softly with a twinkle in his eyes, "The Beach but sand ends up in places you wouldn't expect. You know something,
I would take my date to a romantic dinner. Afterwards, I would take her to my pool which would have those special candles that
float on the water with soft music playing in the background. After we slow dance, we would both lie on a float together and looked
at the stars. I would feed her strawberries, partly dipped in chocolates and drink champagne. We would talk, laugh and
learn more about each other. I would look into her eyes and gently kiss her and hold her close till sunrise."
"Your girlfriend is a lucky woman to have found a romantic man like you."
"I've yet to find Miss Right to be romantic and amorous."
"You're kidding. Your female fans would jump for joy when they read this."
Peter shook his head. "I'm serious."
"Alright Mr. Romantic, if you are given a choice, who do you prefer to be - James Bond, Albert Einstein or President
George Bush Jr.? And why?"
"James Bond because he has all those cool devices and gets to drive the newest BMWs. I am a little shy and his personality
would be fun to have. Plus he is a good gambler. I am not. I just missed the lotto last week by 5 numbers."
I chuckled. "What are your goals for the new year."
"To do the best I can at the next Mr. Romance competitionn, to represent the "hero" as best as I can. Take acting lessons
and hopefully get more exposure and eventually get on a soap opera."
I extended my hand for a handshake. "Then I wish you all the best. I know you will be very successful in all your endeavors.
Congratulations for your romance covers. I love them."
Peter lifted my hand and pressed a soft kiss. "Thank you, Princess. And if you want more pictures of me, let me know.
How sexy do you want?"
"Very," I said with a wink and kissed him on his cheek.
