15 Questions with Nigel Hartagan
Joining us today is author D.M. Needom! Today D.M. is bringing us an interview with her Rockstar hero!
Tell me a little bit about yourself?
Nigel Hartagan: I’m the Bass Player for Sambuka Fedora. I was voted Sexiest Man Alive three times in Pop Hits over in the UK. Some people think that I’m a sex god incarnate; my wife once said I was a walking cock, or maybe that was me. Truth is, I’m just a man who knows how to please women. However, now I just please one, Ava.
What do you look like?
NH: My hair has some blonde highlights mixed in the natural chestnut brown. It’s about shoulder length and pretty messy. I’m about 6’1 and about 11 Stone. Sorry, this is a US publication. I’m about 154. I should eat better, but you don’t always get to eat properly with my lifestyle. No, sometimes my appetite is for other things. Sorry, we were talking about my looks. I have amber-brown eyes and, as I said before, a killer smile and a strong chin.
What is something no one knows about you?
NH: That I believe in love at first sight. It was love at first sight with Ava, but the feeling wasn’t mutual. She had misgivings. It was totally my fault, as the Rockstar ego was on.
What is the greatest challenge you’ve ever faced?
NH: Snorting too much blow and ending up in a coma. When I woke up, the days after were the most challenging. It was hard to avoid temptation and admit that I failed on some levels. However, one of the hardest things was waking up and wanting to apologize to someone I had hurt so bad, but discovering they weren’t in my life. (He smiles wistfully.) Well, she wasn’t just yet.
What is your biggest weakness?
NH: Maybe it’s my jealousy of Russell Langford, one of my best mates. He used to have a thing for my wife. Wait, I shouldn’t say that. That’s not what you meant, was it? Let me change that. A bird with a nice set of jubblies or, for you Yanks, a broad with a nice rack. I do enjoy a little cleavage.
What is your hidden talent?
NH: Well, if I told you, it wouldn’t be so hidden. I will say this: it’s reserved only for my wife. I often show her how talented my fingers and tongue are. Trust me, I don’t suck until I think she’s ready, and then I have her seeing stars as she climaxes over and over. We played a wicked game of 20 questions, and I edged her close but stopped before giving her what she wanted, which was me. When I did, she couldn’t get enough, as my cock is just as talented.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
NH: Some would say being the bassist for Sambuka Fedora, or even being nominated for a Grammy or winning sexiest man. Honestly, the truth is marrying Ava. She let me find the real me under all the rockstar bullocks.
Tell me about your significant other?
NH: Ava is the most amazing woman. When she walks into a room, I can’t help but smile. We share this bond. When we touch each other, there is this energy that we share. I can feel it even with the slightest touch. There’s no one else in the world I have a bond like this with, and I know she’s my one, and nothing will ever change that.
What is the biggest risk you’ve ever taken?
NH: I’ve taken many, though the biggest one recently was taking Ava to Caleb’s party. His parties are always out of control with drugs. I lost a girlfriend once after one of those parties. So, taking Ava was a massive risk as I wasn’t sure how she’d handle the drugs or all the public sex. Fortunately, it all worked out, but the aftermath wasn’t so pleasant for her. (He stops for a moment in thought.) Honestly, it brought us closer together.
What scares you about your future?
NH: That I will fall back into bad habits and lose Ava and our life.
Tell me about your house or apartment?
NH: Which one? I have three. I have a house in London and a Condo in New York, and Ava and I have just set up residence in LA right off the ocean.
What are the five items you could never live without?
NH: My Kubicki Ex Factor 4 Drop D, Fretless Bass, you know, so I can continue to play. It’s one of my favorite basses to jam with still. Let me think about this. Something that means everything. (He pulls out a winged heart locket with a stainless pick behind it.) This. Because when Ava gave it to me, she said it was her heart. So, I know I couldn’t live without that. It has a wedding picture, and the pick is for our baby, due in July. So that’s three. My wedding ring; as much as I love my freedom, somewhere deep down, I like being married. My ring is my tether to my actual reality and Ava. While Ava isn’t a thing; I say Ava because when she isn’t around, it feels like part of my soul is missing. Last is my sketchbook, which has art pencils inside. I could either draw or write in it. Between the bass and the sketchbook, I would never be bored.
Do you consider yourself a hero? If so, why?
NH: I am a hero, at least in Ava’s eyes. I know she sees me as her King or at least her prince who came in and claimed his queen.
Tell me about your “superpower”?
NH: Think we covered that earlier, under hidden talent. ( He winked.) However, when I am on stage, my (bass) playing has lingerie tossed my way almost nightly. Will that change now since I’m married?
Do you consider yourself to be a sexual “vanilla” or a more exotic flavor?
NH: After what I told you earlier about my skills, I’m certainly not vanilla. Hell, I made Ava come while we sat at an outdoor cafe at our pre-wedding dinner. We’re also a member of the mile-high club, so vanilla isn’t even a thought or an option. Tantric or bondage are the options I play with.
Bonus Question: Is there more to your story?
NH: Of course, so much more. Life is an adventure, and there is a story to tell.
