About Me

I'm a regular paris hilton minus the wealth. im 5'6", honey-colored eyes, brown hair, light olive skin, moderately thin. i'm a big fan of talking. i dont like beer too much but i do smoke despite persistent efforts to quit. i like to think of myself as an artist.i'm a big fan of music. i do sing. i'm athletic. i occasionally write poems and stories. im quite vain. i love make-up and dressing up. high- heeled shoes are a must! looks are important for me but what keeps me interested is wit and good humor.i hate it when people dont have anything to say or say so much but lack in significant insight. Agh! i have one weakness, truth be told, aside from chocolates i love really good looking guys with the intellect and verbal skills of a toastmaster. but then again, who in her right mind doesn't?

My Interests

I like anything intellectually stimulating, sports, singin', art, Philosophy, modeling, National Geo-genius, i'm interested with beauty,people and debating.

I'd like to meet:

My English and Swiss-Italian ancestors. It's important that you're an open- minded person; I hate bigots. Whatever, I LOVE YOU ALL!

Music:

I have an eclectic taste in music; Joss Stone, Mariah before she went mad, Streisand, Gwen Stefani, Destiny's Child, Pussycat Dolls and Black Eyed Peas.

Movies:

As long as its critically acclaimed i'll chek it out, i detest horror movies. I think its sad that local films aren't progressive. I like Brit comedy. I love art films, Malena, The Road Home, Maximo Oliveros and La Vita E Bella.

Television:

Anything with content, none of those logic-deficient shows that's so common around here, fiction is okay, talk shows-- i love!(Oprah, Ellen), intellectual humour, Sex n' the City.

Books:

Nothing in particular, i'm more of a magazine type of person actually. i'd love to say that i read books by William Luijpen, Sartre',Kant,Marcel or Heidegger but i find it beyond laborious. The Alchemist is pretty good. I love the DaVinci Code, His and Hers, The Sailor who fell from Grace with the Sea.

Heroes:

Archbishop Desmond Tutu
