Rain from Flavor of Love/Charm School

Rain replaces Flavor with FIRE!!!

About Me

****************************I just want to thank all the people who were in my corner during "Charm School". Everything about the show WAS NOT what I was told. To clear something up, I DO HAVE A TORN ACHILLES HEEL. If you google that type of injury, you will all see why it was extremely painful for me to climb for 2 miles. Plus, they did not feed us before they sent us out there, so I couldn't take my pain medicine. The reason I needed a can opener was because the only thing available for us to eat IMMEDIATELY (so I could take my pain medicine) was some beef stew. The next day, when I did the obstacle course, I ate a full breakfast and took TWO extra strength pain pills. I WAS NOT FAKING, and I just want to thank all of my true fans (which really is most of you) for supporting me and knowing that VH-1 edited the show to make me look crazy. There is a lot more I could say about the show, but I just wanted to clear up this misunderstanding, as well as I keep getting emails about it. Hopefully this clears everything up for everyone.I also want to give out mad, mad crazy thanks to those of you that have written me with encouraging words, and overall, just having a sista's back, I truly appreciate it.I learned a lot about who I am when I did Flavor of Love. I even learned that I will never "sell out", not even for my career. What I mean by that, to sum it all up, is that everything you saw about me on TV was REAL. I was not ACTING at all, that was just me. I really wanted to kick New York's ass AND I really wanted to get to know Flav. Yes, I am an actress/model, so the exposure was a definite added bonus, but I was not JUST DOING it for TV, like a lot of the other girls on the show. I CANNOT tell anyone who won, or any other "insider" information about the show. I am really sorry:(I am on myspace to network with other people in "the biz" and to make new friends. I am an actress, host and model. Originally, a thespian. All you fellow thespians, know exactly what I am talking about.Anyway, once again, I want to thank all the people who sent me emails full of kind words and support, I will never forget it. If you sent me an email, I will respond. It may take a month or so, but I PROMISE, I will respond. The reason it takes so long is because I get over 100 emails a day and I try to respond to everyone. That takes a really long time, especially if I don't have time to jump on myspace. So for everyone that is sending me emails stating they are mad at me for not responding, please, please give me a little bit of a break, and just know that I will get to you as soon as I can. Also, I would like to point out that most of the celebrities on myspace have their "interns" or their "managers" answering their myspace emails, while I do it ALL MYSELF, as I feel you guys deserve to hear from ME, not my representative.IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO HOST A PARTY, SCHEDULE A SHOOT OR CAST ME, PLEASE DO NOT HESISTATE TO EMAIL ME. THANKS!!! ************************************************************ ***Everyone, please support one of my best friends, Joy Bowman. She is an African-American woman and she is a novelist.

My Interests

I have so many interests I don't even know where to start:1) Any type of sport, as long as I am playing it, not watching it! I was in the Lingerie Bowl, which is how I tore my Achilles heel last year. I love to rock climb. 2) Shopping (what girl doesn't, and have you been downtown?) 3) Cooking (I am recently learning to cook, and oh my what fun it is, a sista be HUNGRY!! I know I look like I don't weigh much, but that's just because God gave me good genes. Give me a neckbone, I will suck it dry...LOL) 4) Eating out (for those of you that know me, you know this should be No. 1 right) 5) L.A. Night Life - oh how I love it. There is always something to do. Recently, I have really gotten into spoken word and dance performances. I recently saw Nigger, Wetback, Chink, a play that completely changed my life. It deals with the breaking down of stereotypes that we, as a country, never truly deal with.

I'd like to meet:

People who are interested in the craft of acting. Not just the money, or the glitz, but actual ACTING. I originally am a thespian, so all you theatre gurus, let me hear from you, PLEASE. I would love to meet the kind of people who take on labors of love with the same tenacity as a paid gig. People who want to do theatre and who want to scene study and really research what it takes to be an actor. Also, no fake azz Hollywood people, and you know exactly what I mean when I say that!! I would also like to meet anyone that is positive, but truly positive, not just positive because that's the "thing" to be, or because that's what they think they are supposed to do, just generally positive. And of course, last but not least, I would LOVE to meet anyone who can help me take my career to the next level and who believes in me and my talent. I am going to change the world and I am going to be famous and I am going to be known for being a revoultionary actress, as someone who brought the BITE back to acting. You better get on now! And remember, your dream will never leave you, even if you leave it!

Music:

My musical interests range from Bon Jovi to The Roots. I listen to everything, except classical or country...although I have heard country songs that I really do like..one was on American Idol the other night;) If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Oldies, like Donny Hathaway, Teddy P....TURN EM OFF! He said it with conviction, didn't he. I would have jumped up and turned off the damn lights the way he sang it!

Movies:

Now this is something I take very seriously. I am going to try to list a few of my favorites, but I know I am going to forget something:South Park (the movie, wonderful message, hugely ignored), Memento (pure brilliance), Heat (Al Pacino...what else do you gotta say), School of Rock (your stomach will hurt from laughing), Sliding Doors (SO TRUE), Kill Bill (preferred Vol. 1, but understand the need for story telling in Vol. 2), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(THIS IS LIFE, love is eternal), The Wiz (my favorite movie growing up, I know every word to every scene and every word to every song...BRAND NEW DAY changed my life), My Life Without Me (taught me that life is precious and no matter what you go through, it could ALWAYS be worse, it made me appreciate life) and of COURSE, The Color Purple (I swear, if I had the money, I would re-release it just so the cast could be considered for Oscars)...and that's enough for now. These are SOME my FAVORITES...because it is impossible to have just one favorite movie (in my opinion, there are just too many), but here is a good insight into my psyche;)

Television:

Oh my goodness...how much time do you have to list my favorite tv shows...I will try to be brief....these are NOT in order of favoriteBOONDOCKS (absolutely mind numbing hilarious, can't wait for it to come back in OCTOBER..YEAH), 24 (one of my best friends just got a featured part...GO RHONDA, it is a damn good show, so good that I wait for Netflix so I can watch the whole season without interruption. The first time I watched the first season from Netflix, I called in sick to work because I simply could not contemplate not finding out WHO THE MOLE WAS...ok, did you just DIE when it was Nina), DESPERATE HOUSWIVES (everyone jump on the bandwagon), FRIENDS (when it was on, yes I know there were no black people on it, but dammit, that show is hilarious, although I just got hip to it from my sister, who works at the WB and got me the dvds for free), GILMORE GIRLS (whoever writes the dialogue, needs the Pulitzer for it), SOUTH PARK (the best cartoon in the world, unbelievably funny yet always a valid message), and last but DEFINITELY not least, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE...Danny was SO ROBBED last night. I love Sabre, don't get me wrong, but COME ON!!! Did you see Danny leaping all over that stage for his solo. WHATEVER SABRE!!

Books:

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho...it WILL change your life. And I know it's gay (really, actually gay), but I am SO INTO E. Lynn Harris' books. They are wonderfully written and extremely visual.

Heroes:

First of all, my ultimate hero is my mom. She is the most amazing person that I have been lucky to meet. My hero is anyone who does not stand for involuntary ignorance. Anyone who sees the good in people or in a situation. Anyone who thinks of others before themselves. Anyone who takes life by the horns and rides that beast into the ground. Anyone who loves more than they hate. Anyone who unselfishly helps others. Anyone who knows they have to make a change for the world to change!"Work like you don't need the money. Love like you have never been hurt. Dance like no one's watching!!!"
