Actress/model Mena Suvari
No, wait, I meant to say: Anything automobile-related, especially Porsches and BMW's / music (details below) / film (likewise) / hanging out in dance clubs...
/ hanging out in cool restaurants and hotels / red wine, especially Pinot Noir / Champagne...
/ pasta dishes / artful pizzas / seafood...
/ doing this...
/ beaches in general / the French Caribbean in particular...
/ people who laugh, love and live - people who dance, sing and joke - people who think, consider and question - people who pay attention to life - people who like a lot of different stuff and aren't afraid to try out even more new stuff - people who like manual transmissions - women with bangs - palm trees - balconies - neon lights - the color red - women without bangs - little, black cocktail dresses with spaghetti straps and the women who wear them - and, finally, people who never yawn because they're never bored or tired! Also, models. (Okay, so I had to get Mena in there somewhere.)
Favorite place in the US: South Beach, Miami...
