MODERATOR: m4bbmak has a comical question for ya! MODMSG m4bbmak: If you could be on a Nickelodeon cartoon, what would it be? Vaneza_Pitynski: Well, m4bbmak, I think I would be on "Rugrats" as Chuckie because he's sort of a scaredy-cat just like me. Vaneza_Pitynski: But that's a good question, m4bbmak! MODERATOR: hypergrl18 heard great things about you and has a question for you :) MODMSG hypergrl18: I haven't seen "The Brothers Garcia" yet but have heard it's a great show. Is it fun to be in the cast? Do you have any tips on how I can do something like that while it is my dream? Vaneza_Pitynski: First of all, it's a great show, you should tune in Sunday at 8. Vaneza_Pitynski: It's fun working with the cast because they treat me like a real sister. Vaneza_Pitynski: If you want to be an actress, you have to enjoy what you're doing, or it's really not worth it. nickyapper: You can see "The Brothers Garcia" every Sunday night at 8 PM (ET) only on Nickelodeon!! MODERATOR: mako has a hairy question! MODMSG mako: Hey, what you do if Carlos messed up your hair? Vaneza_Pitynski: Well, maybe I would shave his head to get even with him! Vaneza_Pitynski: But that's a very funny question, mako! MODERATOR: I think I know rugratry's answer, but how about yours? :) MODMSG rugratry: What is your favorite show on Nick besides yours? Vaneza_Pitynski: Actually, what a coincidence...I love "Rugrats." I also love your name, Rugratry!

It's really fun and I enjoy it a lot! nickyapper: Relaxing!!! MODERATOR: Vaneza, everyone loves when you post on the message boards and pokejosh would like to also know... MODMSG pokejosh: What's your favorite game at nick.com? nickyapper: GREAT question!! Vaneza_Pitynski: I don't really have one yet, I was planning to go into the games sometime this week... Vaneza_Pitynski: "Disco Chimp" seems weird and funny! MODERATOR: We received some wonderful questions in the nick.com mailbag this week... MODMSG nickmyst: From the nick.com mailbag... Why is the show called "The Brothers Garcia" if there is a sister also? Vaneza_Pitynski: That's a very good question... Vaneza_Pitynski: I think it's more because it's 3 brothers vs. one girl...but it's a very happy family! nickyapper: It sounds better then "The 3 Brothers and 1 Sister Garcia"!! MODERATOR: wazup0903 won't rate your answer so don't worry :) MODMSG wazup0903: How long have you been a movie star and what would you rate being a movie star on a scale of 1-10? Vaneza_Pitynski: Well, wazup, I've been a movie star for about 6 years just about... Vaneza_Pitynski: On a scale of 1 to 10, you can't really rate it...because it goes past 10 and past 11! Vaneza_Pitynski: But that's a great question, wazup! MODERATOR:
therockfan was forced to ask this! MODMSG therockfan: Have you ever had to do something on the show that your didn't want to do? Vaneza_Pitynski: No, not really... Vaneza_Pitynski: Actually, everything on the show I've really enjoyed doing and really wanted to do. MODERATOR: bouncee72 is singing this question to ya :) MODMSG bouncee72: What kind of music do you like? Vaneza_Pitynski: I like a lot of hip hop and R&B. My favorite station is 102.7 in L.A. MODERATOR: Vaneza I have a question for you!! (If I may) Which is your favorite episode so far? nickyapper: Of course you may!! MODERATOR: Thanks Yapperoni!! Vaneza_Pitynski: I think my favorite episode is a tie between "Love Me Tender" because it's a pretty funny episode... Vaneza_Pitynski: and the last one, "A Day in the Life," because it was funny but it was really emotional too. Vaneza_Pitynski: It was really great because on the message boards fans said the episode almost made them cry. Vaneza_Pitynski: I think it's great when you get fans into it and make them so emotional. MODERATOR: :::sniffing again just thinking about it:::: MODERATOR: casie277 would like to know... MODMSG casie277: Vaneza, what grade are you in on the show? Vaneza_Pitynski: I think I'm supposed to be 10 years old so that would make me in 5th grade.

MODERATOR: Another mailbag question from nick.com this week :) MODMSG nickmare: How did you get your start in show buisness? Vaneza_Pitynski: I was at a pizza parlor in Palm Springs, and I think it was Labor Day or Memorial weekend. Vaneza_Pitynski: A manager approached us...my sister and I...and he said "Are you twins?" Vaneza_Pitynski: We said no...and she said "Well, would you like to be in the acting business?" Vaneza_Pitynski: My mom and dad looked into it. We made an appointment with her. Vaneza_Pitynski: I did an audition and I finally got the show! nickyapper: So your sister is in the business, too? Vaneza_Pitynski: Yes, she is. MODERATOR: Vaneza, a lot of the Blabbers loved the "Survivor" show and seem to always ask the guest what they would do...sooo... MODMSG mako: PLEASSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE Moderator ask her this: If you had to stay with the three brothers in a cellar for 4 days how would you survive? You can only pack 3 things. nickyapper: My gosh!! Vaneza_Pitynski: That is a very hard question! Vaneza_Pitynski: But a very good one, mako! nickyapper: These questions are tough!! Vaneza_Pitynski: With 3 brothers I think you need a little control so I would definitely take a TV with me... Vaneza_Pitynski: and a lot of food for Bobby. Vaneza_Pitynski: For Larry, a little space doll...or something really spacey! Vaneza_Pitynski: Forget the TV...I would take a supply of hair gel for Carlos so that if he acted up or anything (just in case) I would cut off his supply of hair gel! nickyapper: We're chatting with "The Brothers Garcia" sister, Vaneza Leza Pitynski!! MODERATOR: Ok, Vaneza, I'll give you an EASY question so that Yapper doesn't have to think hard while you answer :) nickyapper:Hey!! MODERATOR: Ouch! MODMSG energetic: What's it like to work with Jeffrey Licon? Vaneza_Pitynski: It's the bomb! He's really cool. Vaneza_Pitynski: He has four great sisters in real life, so he really treats me like I'm one of them. Vaneza_Pitynski: And one of the better things is he likes to go shopping—that's pretty cool, too! MODERATOR: 007guy is a numbers guy and wants to know... MODMSG 007guy: About how long does it take to make a show? Vaneza_Pitynski: Well, 007, it takes about five days to make a complete show... Vaneza_Pitynski: But then you have to edit the show and add music and whatnot. Vaneza_Pitynski: So it takes about five days...but I don't know how long total. Filming takes five days. nickyapper: That doesn't leave you much time to learn your lines! MODERATOR: You certainly make it seem easy because you're so good, but nfsman123 is wondering... MODMSG nfsman123: What would you say is the hardest thing about being an actress? Vaneza_Pitynski: It's probably memorizing your lines and getting them down right... Vaneza_Pitynski: so you know what to say and when to say it! Vaneza_Pitynski: That's a great question, nfsman! MODERATOR: Well just on cue... MODMSG fleximonke: Is it hard to memorize lines? Vaneza_Pitynski: No, it really depends on how many you have that day... Vaneza_Pitynski: Sometimes it goes from 4 to 3 pages, so it really depends on how much and how hard you try to memorize them. MODERATOR: thenicekid has a very nice question and yes, I'm a softy for smiles :) MODMSG thenicekid: PLEASE ask Vaneza what is her favorite outdoor activity because I asked lots of questions but they were never asked on Blab-a-torium! Vaneza_Pitynski: My favorite outdoor activity would have to be shopping... Vaneza_Pitynski: I don't know if that counts. If it doesn't it would have to be swimming. nickyapper: Swimming is a good second choice!! MODERATOR: A lot of Blabbers are wondering the same thing that mrnicknut is asking... MODMSG mrnicknut: Do you have any pets? Vaneza_Pitynski: I have one dog named Shayla. Vaneza_Pitynski: She's an Afghan hound, and I like the name. MODERATOR: Oh! This is a unique question from bjlj!!(Say that name 5 times fast!) MODMSG bjlj: I have an easy question: How long does it take in the makeup department on average to get your makeup on? Vaneza_Pitynski: It doesn't take that long in makeup, 7 to 10 minutes.. Vaneza_Pitynski: It depends on the scene you're doing... Vaneza_Pitynski: In "A Hunting We Will Go," the scene where I was dancing to "Diamonds and Gold" took about a half hour for hair and makeup total. MODERATOR: :::drum roll::: from the nick.com mailbag which we LOVE to see so full (thanks everyone who sent in questions there!)... MODMSG nickmyst: From the nick.com mailbag: I love the tubby kid that rolls around and makes me laugh. What's his name? Vaneza_Pitynski: That's hilarious! His name is Bobby Gonzalez..he plays George Garcia. nickyapper: He's really cute!! MODERATOR: I'm sorry I can't speak Spanish to ask this one... MODMSG shotgun317: Do you really know Spanish? Vaneza_Pitynski: Yes, I do, shotgun. Actually, I'm getting taught Spanish...I'm starting.

Vaneza_Pitynski: Well, hypergrl18, the key to success is patience, lots of patience... Vaneza_Pitynski: In the business you have to wait. Vaneza_Pitynski: Even if you don't get the job, you know you've done your best and that's what really matters! MODERATOR: rollerjam was embarrassed to ask this, but... MODMSG rollerjam5: MODERATOR MODERATOR, please ask her this question: What was your most embarrassing moment? Vaneza_Pitynski: I don't have really one...but I remember when I was in sixth grade... Vaneza_Pitynski: I went to deliver a paper to my teacher and I tripped in front of the whole class!! Vaneza_Pitynski: That was pretty embarrassing. nickyapper:EEK! MODERATOR: curser was bouncing all over the screen with this question! MODMSG curser: If you could have a sister in the cast, would you? Vaneza_Pitynski: I think it would be sort of fun to have a sister for an episode... Vaneza_Pitynski: It would be cool..she could be a bratty sister... Vaneza_Pitynski: and we could team up against the brothers! That would be pretty cool. MODMSG nickfrog: Hello. I just wanted to know if your friends treat you differently now that you are on TV? Vaneza_Pitynski: Not all my friends...actually none of my friends treat me different. Vaneza_Pitynski: They're all supportive and they really like the show. Vaneza_Pitynski: I've told them to not treat me differently...I'm not like a big movie star... Vaneza_Pitynski: I'm like any other kid growing up. MODERATOR: aidanchris has a location question for ya :) MODMSG aidanchris: Do you really make the show in San Antonio, Texas?

MODMSG linxpawz: How has your life changed since coming to the show? Vaneza_Pitynski: For one thing, I've gotten recognized in places you would never think...

Vaneza_Pitynski: The teachers were at school...they gave me work to do on the set. Vaneza_Pitynski: And then I did the work on the set, because by law you have to have 3 hours of schooling.
