If I got to interview SuicideGirls:
Bob recently blogged about an interview she, Squeak and Ridley received at WonderCon, where I voiced my opinion that the interviewer was not up to par, so Bob asked me what questions I'd throw their way. For the sake of argument, I'll put it in the context of if I had been the interviewer at WonderCon.
First off, five minutes is totally too short a time to talk to SuicideGirls, and conventions where I could interview a whole group at the same time are pretty uncommon, so I would politely request half an hour or so, split up into individual interviews and then a group Q&A for whole site general questions. I'd find out beforehand all of the ladies who would be present and do some research, their questions would be much more specific than "Do you have a secret?" or "What's your favorite food?"
If I were ever lucky enough to interview Bob, I would ask her about things like her goals with Law school, what type of lawyer she intends to be. (My guess would be npo defense attourney, because she rocks like that) I would ask her about current sets in MR, what inspired Squeak and her for their 8:20 Boiler Room set. I'd ask about set ideas she's toying with for the future, body art she plans to get, the next Con she's going to and cosplay suits she'd like to have there. I'd ask about any big events coming up in her life, and if there's a bar or restaurant a fan might be lucky enough to bump into her at. Things that both diehard followers and total strangers wouldn't mind learning about her.
For the whole group I'd probably like to know what kind of creative feedback you can give the photographers, how long the average set takes to shoot, how many photos usually end up on the cutting room floor, what new publications may be coming out soon (I'd of course mention the SG Comic by James Cameron), if there will be a new movie like Must Die or Italian Villa any time soon. I'm also very curious to know if the SG Guide to Living could be serialized, segments where SGs explain things are both entertaining and informative. I'd ask if in general SG will be adding more video sets as the site expands. Things like that.
Of course, if this chance ever came my way I'd spend more than the half hour I did thinking this up. SG deserves a bit more effort than that! Anyway, that's my two bits.

Thanks for your support! Yes, I definitely know my set has to stand out, I've got some pretty cool ideas which I will keep a surprise for now. It'll be a few weeks before I send in a set however, because I have to decide on one of my ideas, and then get everything set up and find the proper location and then I'll be sending a set in.
