Character Interview: Christopher Styles of 'Material Things'



We’re thrilled to be talking to Christopher Styles from Larry Spencer’s, Material Things. It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!
 


Thank you for your interview, Christopher.  How old are you and what do you do for a living?

I am 24 years old and I write TV sitcoms and also own a hip clothing store in Sherman Oaks, California. Selling bellbottom pants and trendy apparel.

Can you tell us about one of your most
distinguishable features?

I would say my sarcasm.

What would I love the most about you?

My wit and edgy humor.

What would I hate the most about you?

My sarcasm. Once had a date with this girl who at the end of the evening said I was the most sarcastic person she’s ever met and to never call her again.

Where do you go when you are angry?

I drive in my car, chain smoke and yell at horrible drivers for making stupid mistakes on the road.


What makes you laugh out loud?

Watching George Carlin do his stand up routine. The Man is a genius. His observations on life, death and happiness are spot on.

What is in your refrigerator right now?

A six pack of Pepsi, Coors beer, cheese and a bottle of cheap wine. Maybe a leftover cold slice of pepperoni  pizza.   


What is your most treasured possession?

My 1960 Porsche 350 SC.


What is your greatest fear?

Root canal. Being trapped in an elevator, heights and any chance World War III might break out.  


Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?

Yes. But I’m better looking and have a better hairline.

If you could change one physical thing about yourself, what would that be?

Better hair. It’s curly and I hate curls.


Who is your best friend?

Matthew Street. My business partner in the boutique.

Do you have children?

Not any that I know about.

What is your favorite weather?

Sunny California. .

What’s your idea of a perfect meal?

Steak, baked potato, green beans, chocolate cake.

Someone is secretly in love with you.  Who is it and how do you feel about that?

I wouldn’t let it go to my head. Although it would boost my ego. I would hope it was Ina Byers and girl I always had the hots for in high school but never could get to first base. My kind of perfect.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Cartoonist. Started drawing when I was five.

What is your most treasured possession?

I answered that already. Pay attention, man.

If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?

Get a second opinion. 


About the Author

LARRY SPENCER published his first novel, The Tipping Point Of Oliver Bass in the summer of 2017. A story that covered the life of a pathologically arrogant, wealthy young man who sets off on a journey of self-discovery, family tragedy, and sexual conquest in a modern California noir backdrop.   Spencer has been a Writer’s Guild of America member since the late 70s, having written and produced a multitude of highly successful TV shows, which culminated into writing several feature films. He was then encouraged to pen his second book, Material Things, a story based on true events that takes place in the 60s &70s and tackles organized crime, drugs and embezzlement during a time when bellbottom pants ruled the fashion scene.  He lives in Valley Village, California.

About the Book:

Larry Spencer’s riveting, interlocking narratives circle the lives of Matthew Street, Jon Lewis and Christopher  
Styles, in a 1970s California backdrop that takes them from owning and operating a fashionable clothing boutique into the gripping world of an FBI under cover operation, drug trafficking, prostitution and a nefarious criminal element, that brings to light a Mafia contract killer, who’s out to bump off a stoolie in their midst.
    
Material Things is based on true events surrounding the store that introduced bellbottom jeans to a hip Southern California crowd and how it became, not only a cottage industry but also an arena fraught with danger and moral strife that put the store and it’s owners under close scrutiny after an alarming number of felonious activities surface.

The climax is anything but conventional as Matthew, Jon and Christopher are confronted with a life threatening reality that they never imagined could happen just by selling bellbottom pants.

Trauboth.   It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! “I work until deep in the night when most of the office lights are out and preferably with women. Too many of the men here are egocentric machos, except one. You unfortunately know who I mean.” --Exclusive Interview with Dr. Henriette Behrens, THREE BROTHERS 1.       Thank you for your interview, Dr. Henriette Behrens.   How old are you and what do you do for a living?

Thank you for your interview, Nolan.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? No problem, thank you for asking me. I'm fifty-nine and a web designer by trade, but I also have invented information and telecommunications products that are completely safe for users and the environment. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Over the years I have continued to wear my hair shoulder length with a stubble beard. Of course now, my hair is salt-and-pepper gray.

  We’re thrilled to be talking to AJ from Paolo Mazzucato's AJ AND THE INCREDIBLE FISH.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!   Thank you for your interview, AJ.  How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m eleven years old, so, you know, way beyond believing in silly things like…tooth fairies or other crazy stories that adults like to tell. I mean, who do they think they’re kidding, right? I live in the REAL world, and ever since my dad left, I spend my time staying out of trouble (mostly) with my sixth-grade friends at St. Anthony School in Wailuku. That’s on Maui, just in case you weren’t paying attention during Sr. Penguin’s geography class, like Eddie who reads comics tucked inside his textbook, which is something I NEVER do. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Features? You mean like my nose or something? Well, that’s normal, I guess. I mean my nose is normal. I guess I have messy ...
