What do you love about being over 40?

I've been single for 15 years, and happily so. But as I get older, I just get happier in that condition. I love not caring what other people think of me, and wearing pink just because I want to. Silly I know, but it's the little things, right?

How do you stay fabulous?

I'm not a classic beauty. My face is too pixie for that! I am in a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy. The condition leaves me very slightly built. Many people hate on me because I am so petite and thin. I have had to learn to embrace my smallness, and that embrace is what makes me fabulous!

What would you do with the $40,000?

With some of it I would travel. My goal is to visit the 13 states that were the original 13 colonies. Some of the money would go as a donation to my local humane society, particularly for the benefit of the cats there. I would donate what remained to my local non-profit classical radio station.
