 
Name: Alexis Walsko
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Been with FM107 since: April 2007
What is your role at FM107?: Bleach blonde addict and/or co-host of Shop Girls with Allison Kaplan.
What do you wish your role was at FM107?: Queen of everything or at least just the office supplies so I could make sure we always have Black Precise Rolling Ball pens on hand.
Share a favorite FM107 moment: I thoroughly enjoyed broadcasting live from the Living Green Expo at the State Fair. The crowd was quite taken with synthetic silk dress and high heels. They were equally as impressed with Allison’s bright yellow swing coat and matching yellow flats. We each sported fantastic lip gloss and perfectly set hair. Needless to say, we totally stuck out had people staring just because we looked so extremely out of place.
Share some behind the scenes FM107 gossip:Allison Kaplan has an uncanny talent for physical humor. You would never know.
One of the microphones in the studio ALWAYS has lipstick on it and I know it is not mine. I am betting it is Lori’s.
Julia keeps a much neater desk than Lori but I would bet that neither is at their desk much as bottles of hand lotion sit on each that are older than dirt.
Andrew Zimmern chats with his co-hosts, monitors two email accounts, snacks on hot tamales, and plays the guitar all at once.
Christopher Gabriel has a slew of pre-produced bits that will make you laugh so hard you cry. Most of them do not usually hit the airwaves.
List all of the "hats" you wear in your current life: I wear a funky FEDORA while playing the role of publicist. I sport a FISHING HAT when in the role as daughter to my fantastic parents. A couple times week I wear a CONDUCTORS CAP (think train conductor) while steering gals around the country to some of my favorite finds and deals. I wear a BASEBALL CAP when I don’t want anyone to see me without makeup. I go HATLESS when I hit the town with my beloved Chihuahua, Lily.
Describe any past fashion fads that you at the time embraced but now regret: Stirrup pants, the wedge haircut, braces, big bangs, the short haircut, neon, jelly shoes, MC Hammer pants, shoulder pads, pinned jeans, Multiples or Units, acid washed denim, hypercolor, and let’s not forget the banana clip!
Name a television character past or present that best describes your personality: Minnie Mouse
What's your favorite comfort food?: Punch Pizza. It is the PERFECT food.
If there was an FM107 reality show who would get kicked out of the house first?: Allison Kaplan. Actually, she would probably just leave on her own accord.
Do you believe in love at first sight?: If it happened I would
First celebrity crush: Michael J. Fox
Latest celebrity crush: George Clooney
Name another person on this earth you would love to trade places with for a day (and why): Madonna. Do I really need to explain? She is perfect and all her own. Love it.
Name the last good movie you saw: I have been on hiatus from movies. I think the last one I saw was Borat. Love it but I would rather be outside.
Name the last good book you read: Nerdy book, The Secret. Everything it says is true but I feel like a nerd because everyone is talking about it. Good Fiction, The Memory Keepers Daughter. A must read.
What TV show(s) are you currently hooked on?: I watch three channels MTV, VH1 and E! I am currently enthralled with the show Rob and Big on MTV. I laugh out loud. I love Viva la Bam on MTV and the Girls Next Door on E!. I am totally into juvenile humor.
