Red Carpet Q.and.A: CYNTHIA BAILEY-THOMAS and her husband PETER THOMAS (Bravo Channel's hit reality TV series REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA)

 
The Date: Saturday 10/19/2K13
The Locale: Walt 'Clyde' Frazier's WINE & DINE Restaurant, New York City
The Event: Cynthia and Peter's book signing for their debut release CARRY-ON LUGGAGE: OUR NONSTOP FLIGHT.

RG: Why was it important for both you and your wife to lay the foundation for the book?

Peter: When you watch 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' you only get up to four minutes of segments from us, and there's about 5-6 million that watch the show when it comes on. So, you know, the people that's really checking for us - our fanbase - we just wanted to give them an extended version of the show in a memoir form as far as how me and Cynthia met, and how we've both grinded hard in order to secure a strong future for our family.

RG: When avid readers purchase your new book, what can they anticipate learning from it?

Cynthia: Marriage and relationships are not easy! It's a lot of work. What I hope for the book is to inspire couples of our age group to keep going on all levels; to keep the 'happy' going; to keep the love going; to keep the excitement in the bedroom going. Things don't just go on 'Auto-Pilot,' you know? Finding that balance is also important as well.

RG: What's the best piece of advice you could give to a young lady who has aspirations to become a successful entrepreneur like yourself in the future?

Cynthia: Just be willing to work. I think people look at the successful ones and say to themselves 'Oh, they got lucky.' and think that it's easy. Everyone that I know that is in a position of power/big money/success, they WORK, and all they do is WORK. I think that this generation assume that things should just be given to them, and they don't want to work for anything. If you are ambitious, and are willing to put the work in, you can have success in your life. And don't worry about looking at other people and what they are doing; DO YOU! You can't compare yourself to everybody else. Do YOU, carve your own lane and GO FOR IT!
