I'm Foxxy Cleopatra... and I'm a whole lot of woman!

About Me

I'm creative, spontaneous, original (the World couldn't handle two Me's!), and don't like to stick with the norm... either it be through my fashion sense, my spirituality, or my personal creativity, I refuse to just be a by-passer in life. I want to get noticed, recognized, and accomplish everything and anything I set my mind to. I currently have an undergraduate degree in Criminology, and am finishing up my Masters degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on education and youth issues. I want to have a Doctorate degree someday, and would love to be a University professor. I am a master at debates. I am not the type of person that sticks to one goal or interest only, I am also interested in fashion design, and perhaps someday I can have my own clothing store (with a rollerskate rink and a giant discoball, 24 hour Djs with naked painted dancers, and lots and lots of sexy house... ;). DJing is a hobby and passion of mine, I play all across the East Coast at underground parties and clubs. If you're interested in finding out what that's all about, I have a set available for download at the following link: http://www.ultrasoundproductions.ca/phpBB2/download.php?id=6

I am planning to move to somewhere within the next year or so, most likely Halifax for a few years, then perhaps Montreal or maybe Montreal right away, depending on the opportunities that present themselves to me... I love it there! I also have some travelling on the agenda within the next year after I am done this broke ass student life. I can only stay in one place for so long before I get restless!

My Interests

MUSAK, creative people, having a good time (aka havin a drink or 2, 3... and dancing), parties, turntableism, funky outfits, and Angelina Jolie... you are sooo sexy! (I am totally obsessed with her - prior to the whole Brad Pitt, "I want to be mother to the World" syndrome)

I'd like to meet:

People I can trust, who can laugh at my goofy jokes, and like to socialize - people who don't play head games with other people, who don't talk behind people's backs and aren't afraid to be honest. People who are real and stand for what they believe in. Opinionated people, creative people, artistic in their own way, and who have a passion and appreciation for music. A great sense of humor is a plus (I'm a total goof), and I tend to hang with people that are very outgoing and are not afraid to speak their mind. My friends are a reflection of myself, and I must say since I have French blood running through my veins I tend to hang out with people that are a little on the crazy (in the most fun way) side. If you're a superficial, materialistic person who is completely self-involved, then don't bother to message me. Because you won't get a reply! Oh yeah, and for those who think they can ask me to be their friend without even trying to get to know me first - FORGET IT. Send me a message first and tell me about yourself - then maybe we'll talk.
P.S. I AM NOT USING MYSPACE AS A DATING SERVICE!!!

My Obsession of the Week... who's making me HOT and bothered right at this moment: Mark Ronson, DJ, remixer and producer extraordinaire - check out his MySpace page: www.myspace.com/markronson

I'm also absolutely LOVIN' Juliette and the Licks (FAK she is RAD!):

I would also very much like to meet HER... Miaw...

Music:

Erykah Badu is most definitely my fav female artist out there... Most spiritual funky chick in the world. Zero 7, Dimitri from Paris (my fav Dj - he is the epidemy of French!), Justin Hale (I'm his biggest fan and he knows it), Alden Brown, Cassius, Daft Punk, Le Tigre, Ben Harper, Esthero, Dave Matthews, Coldplay, Jamiroquai, Bob Marley, The Roots, Jurassic 5, Butta Babies, Floetry, K-OS, KRS-One, Norah Jones, Jazz, Trip hop, intelligent and socially conscious Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, House, downtempo drum & bass, etc... the list goes on - my musical taste is diverse, but it totally excludes country (I just can't tap into that redneck part of me. sorry.)
She is an inspiration to my soul ....
My FAVORITE frontman of all time... can you say FUNK-EY?
..Check out the Ultrasound website, a local production company I am a proud member of :) http://www.ultrasoundcollective.ca
