Rina Valentina

Elvira: "The Reign of Rina Valentina will rule interminably-- whether you like it or not. She is a whirlwind of power, intellect, charm and beauty."

Yves: "She makes me blush."

Charlie: "I think I had a mad-dog stare down with Rina on a rooftop at a downtown party once. I was probably thinking something like "holy shit, are we going to make out?" and she was probably thinking "don't mess with me."

Christopher: "Rina is the most REGAL chick i know. I'm going to start stalking her now."

Ronald: "i don't know her very well, but she talked to me once and i got nervous."

Marcos: "Rina is elegant, beautiful, graceful... and quiet as a churchmouse ;-)"

Ashod: "rina is pretty much the closest thing i've seen to a naked girl, and who doesn't like naked girls?!? i had no idea they had that much skin! i don't really get out much but when i do it's always nice when rina's there prancing about like a drunk little kitten. plus she's just real nice and stuff."

Adeline: "Rina Valentina is hands down the foxiest girl in los angeles. maybe even america."

Scott: "It's hard to write Rina a testimonial because she spilled her beer all over my computer keyboard. It/I've been messed up ever since, but I still love her anyway."

Chris: "it's so good of you to find me. i was lost without you. really. how come you're so sexy? very photogenic. your such a mystery. in a good way. who follows you around with a camera so you can get all these pictures that belong in magazines? "

Yves: "A prom dress, a studded leather wrist band, and a little color on the cheeks from too much wine. Yeah, that's her."

Charlie: "I'll take two please."

Yves: "Oh yeah....and she reminds me of me which means she is pretty fucking sexy! "

Stephen: "yeah, she's super hot and stuff. she's pretty much the all-time queen of LA. she's quirky and fun...and complicated and dark at the same time. i am in love with her."

Marianne: "eeney meeny miney rina, catch a tiny ballerina, style and grace like simone nina, gosh your name is hard to rhyme, valentina valentine"

Brian: "and then there's rina. rina likes chocolate milk. rina likes the hours between 3am and 7am (prime jumping on the bed time). rina likes long walks to her clean auto on a dirty road when you can't tell if the sun is rising or saying goodnight. rina likes tying ribbons on things, especially limbs. rina likes the comfort of a warm napkin shielding her fragile hand from a cold beer (this is where spilling comes into play). rina is waiting to be "dazzled". rina does not settle. rina has good genes (if you haven't already noticed, she's easy on the ol' eyes). rina will kidnap you and take you under a tree with stars hanging from the branches, where you will drink belinis with the bees. rina has party dresses which she likes to leave with me so i can let people view them for a small fee. rina is the only valentina i know. the only one i wanna know. rina makes me feel lucky. you know all this cuz your viewing her friendster. if you do not, don't bother being her friend (ster) ....seriously....stop looking you perv............."

Scott: "For a while Rina disappeared. Those were some dark days. Now she’s back and she brought along some new photos. I hope she has a lot more, because pictures of her are some of the best around."

Nikki: "Rina is a beautiful girl on the inside and out."

Elle:"mirror mirror on the wall, who's the classiest of all?" mirror:"rina" mirror mirror on the wall, who's the prettiest of all?" mirror: "rina" "mirror mirror on the wall, who's the lovliest of all?" mirror: "rina"

Ronald: ". . . she still makes me nervous. that is part of the dynamic in our new band that never plays."

Marianne: "maybe i can lure her in with my piano. its 102 years old you know, and perfectly out of tune... lets play a duet until the neighbors bang a broom on the ceiling below ..."

Yves: "That whole rock princess look is really working out quite well for you. I think I need to step up my game to keep up with you darlin'!"

Ben: "your pictures are too insane. you need to do a show of your photos or something. do you shoot them yourself? all self-portraits? they're like some sort of high end movie shoot stills. you are good."

June: "the weather is rainy and the sky is grey, but rina is always shining."

Chequamegon:
Dear heart,
please release Rina from your chamber
only to tell her truths
that dove tails curve
only to cast
the shadow of her name
and green my eyes
have turned silent
cast upon her image
she mused me
dear heart, bid my thanks

Marianne: "rina is the muse and the inspired... who here can make that claim?"

Elle: "it's not that poems are written about Rina. Rina is the poem."

Paul: "Rina is beautiful, yes. everyone knows that. but she is also sad. Beauty blended with sadness creates the most potent art. Rina Valentina is a work of art."

Elvira: "sometimes I hate myself for loving rina."

Aubert: "rina is a ________. fill in the blank. i'll give you some choices... a translucent silent film star... a precocious little girl... a self appointed queen of venus... a sharp feline who lives in the woods... a fixated blue collar factory worker lost in daydreams of seasides and such... a woman who's moved around so frequently, that she's constantly in search of the definition of the word "roots". did you make a guess? you chose correctly, for there is no wrong answer....silly... at the end of it all, rina is a unique pleasure. but make sure you have your 'dazzle' on, cuz she expects nothing less from you."
