The Bottom Line Now you know it all... Or maybe you think you do...

As you might have noticed, I LOVE talking about myself, and funny enough, prelude99 was nice enough to have a new write-off which gives me the excuse of doing just that. Following are the 16 questions that have been asked. I bet you just can't wait to read the answers...


1. How long have you been a member of Epinions?
I have been a member since March 17th, 2000. That makes about 3 years, off and on. There were some periods that I have been fanatical about Epinions, and some periods that my fanatacism slows down and becomes non-existent. I am a fanatic again.


2. What do you do for a living?
I am a model, however I am not stupid (at least I think) and I am not a fake. This means that I am not a commercial model (ie: tv commercials and olive oil commercials and cheesy stuff like that, which I consider not really deserving of the title "model"). I am a real fashion model, I do shoots for magazines and I walk the runways.


3. Favorite food?
BEEF! I can eat hamburger patties for days and not get tired of them, yuummmmmm, they are so juicy! I have discovered a new way of eating them -- besides the huge amounts of ketchup and mayo -- you can also have them with ketchup and fresh cream. I know it sounds gross, but just try it (even if you are a vegetarian, tee-hee-hee).


4. Most embarrassing moment?
Countless, countless moments! MY WHOLE LIFE IS JUST ONE BIG EMBARRASSING MOMENT... Ok, one of the worst ones:
Scenery -- I am much younger and have only slept with one guy before in my whole life and I am seriously making out with a one night stand and we are at that point when things get serious and we are both naked on a couch.
ME: "Do you have a condome?"
He takes one out and unwrapps it.
UNIMPORTANT GUY: "Here, can you put it on?"
ME: "Uuummm, no, I don't know how to."
UNIMPORTANT GUY: "Uuummm, well, I don't know how to either."
We then fumble around for about half an hour trying to put it on. Needless to say, the romance was out the door very quickly!


5. What are your favorite topics to write about on Epinions?
I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been completely obsessed with writing these Top 10 Lists on movies. They are so much fun, and I get to re-explore all of the movies that I love.


6. Name a few things that you can’t stand whatsoever.
This list is going to be long:
- Russian models
- People that are just too "fashion"
- Fish and seafood
- People that play the victim
- Death
- Insects (not spiders though)
- London
- Being cold (I am always cold, even in 70 degrees)
- People that don't know their limits regarding alcohol
- Sports (or anything that requires me to use muscles)
- People that are way too self-important
- Not having a computer
- Lyars
- Buying something and then regretting it
- Cleaning out cat litters
- Not having enough money to do what I want
- People that have lived in a country for a long time and haven't learned the language (mostly Americans do this)
- People that bug me about what I eat and how much I smoke although it is none of their business
- People that take themselves too seriously
- Fake ravers that don't know what it used to be all about


7. Hobbies?
Ok, I don't have that many interests at all, it is quiet sad, really:
- Epinions
- Reading
- Watching movies
- Studying my French grammar
- Psychology
- The Sims
- Smoking cigarettes


8. What kind of car do you drive? What color is it?
Well, I don't have a car, but if I did, it would be a black, convertible Smart Car. I have owned cars (or borrowed from the mother) in the past though: a white Geo Metro, a burgundy Mercedes, a white Dodge Neon, a red VW Jetta, a red Honda Civic.


9. Worst time you got into trouble when you were a kid?
Again, countless, countless times. I was a horrible teenager (I feel really guilty about it now and my Mom takes total advantage). Well, the first time I really got into trouble was when I was 12 and had just moved to Washington DC from Paris, where smoking is ok. I was attending a private school and I got kicked out because I had smoked a cigarette, after school hours, off campus, go figure! My best friend had told on me.


10. Have you ever been on TV? If so, what for?
I have been on tv a lot. I was once on a French tv show, presenting something to a famous French comedian, but other than that, I am quite often on tv for fashion programs. For example, when they show fashion shows or when they interview models and such.


11. What kind of music do you like to listen to?
I listen to a little bit of everything. I am not saying I like all kinds of music though, I am just saying that there is always at least one group/singer that I like in every type of music, except country or gosspel (can't stand those). Right now I am really into 80s music, Mowtown, you know, golden oldies. And of course, always trip-hop.


12. What CD would your friends be surprised that you own?
I don't think my friends (had I any) would be surprised by anything, but people I don't know might be surprised to know that I love classical music and that my favorite composer is Vivaldi.


13. Shoes or sandals?
Definately shoes when you live in Paris, no question about it! If you wear sandals in Paris, by the end of the day, your toes are all black.


14. Where do you buy most of your clothes?
At H&M, Zara, Mango, and TopShop, shoes are a different matter, of course, and need to be expensive. If I had money, I would buy my clothes at Lanving, Sonia Rykiel, Plein Sud, Valentino and Claude Montana.


15. Have you ever met any famous people? If so, who?
A lot, but it depends what you call famous. In fashion, of course I have a lot. But here is some of the list: Gabriel Byrnes, Marilyn Manson, Leo Dicaprio, Ethan Hawke, most of the celebraty fashion designers, a lot of famous models, etc.

16. What are your favorite TV shows?
I don't own a tv (whimper, whimper), but if I did, it would be Sex and the City.
