kp: Have you ever watched any of those old-skool educational films like "Pink Slip" and "There's A New You Coming"?
v: I have seen some of those old-skool films and find them hi-entertainment.

kp: Ever thought about making one of your own?
v: I'd love to make an updated 'Vinnie-ized' version. That'd be rockin!

kp: My roommate, Anna, wants to know if you'll sponsor her all-girl band. She says they'll sell your products when they go on tour.
v: Tell Anna that I'm down for the cause. What kind of music do they play?

kp: I don't know.
v: Can my band tour with them?

kp: I don't know.
v: We can play SEGA in the back of the tour bus.

kp: I don't know. I mean, "No."

No, what I really mean is, Do you find that your line of work gets you a lot of "ass"?
v: I get marriage proposals and pictures sent to me all the time. I wish I thought to do this when I was a fifteen-year-old boy trying to wrangle a date. But, I've had the same great girlfriend since I started my Tampon Case project.

kp: You've said that originally you got some "strange looks from my brothers". What do they think now, with ladies all over the world using your tampon cases?
v: My brothers have been big supporters of my project for years- they are always asking me for extra cases to give out on their own.

kp: When you get older, do you think you'll make products for ladies dealing with menopause?
v: That's a good idea. I do get requests already from women already dealing with menopause. We'll see. At the moment I'm pretty content just giving out my tampon cases.

kp: Tell us a story! How did your "win a date with Vinnie" work out? Who won? Where'd you go?
v: No story yet. The woman who won lives in Virginia and has kids, so it's been hard to find a free weekend. Dating is obviously tougher than it used to be.
