I am a Latina, half Cuban, half Puerto Rican, born in NYC. (Manhattan). I spent a good part of my childhood growing up in Miami Beach so I am truly "American," but my blood is very latin, trust me! I have the latin temperament with all that implies; I am passionate about all of the things I love, and I am very warm and affectionate in a relationship.

I'm also a fun, witty woman with a bubbly personality who'd love to share it with a special man. I really love travel and movies and sometimes just curling up on the sofa with my guy and a little HBO. I especially love interesting conversations with intelligent people, and I love to laugh so if you've got a good sense of humor you'll get my attention. I'll make you laugh too - promise!

I was a designer until people stopped buying $10K sofas... :-(

Now I sell overpriced martinis... :-)

Similar profit margin.

What I'm into includes: Great conversations with interesting people. Bill Maher. The Daily Show. NPR. Mountains and the ocean side by side... All kinds of quality music... and listening to slow sexy ballads with a very special man.

As far as travel is concerned my favorite cites to date are: Florence, London, San Francisco and surprise! Chicago! I LOVE Chicago!!
(Who knew??)

I love to cook. It's an intermittent passion limited to the days that I have the time to do it, but it's my own little party when I do :) I like to turn on some music while I'm chopping things and sipping on my rum and coke. Sometimes I dance a little. By the time dinner's ready I've got a nice buzz on, the house smells great, and all I need is a sweet sexy guy to share it with. ...You maybe!

IF... that is, you are a gentleman. Good manners are really important to me, and if you don't have them don't worry, you're still ok because there are a lot of women out there who don't have them either!!
You can call them.

A perfect day for me would include beautiful scenery, a bike ride, great food, sexy interludes, a lot of laughter, and maybe you...
(Did I say that already?)

As for what I'm looking for...

Let's just say that if you are the type of man who friends turn to for advice because you're well-read and thoughtful, and who is welcome everywhere because you're just so damn funny then I would be very interested in meeting you.

If you happen to have those two attributes and you're handsome too...
I could be in trouble :-)

Most of all though, I would love to meet a really special guy who can make me smile just by walking in, and whose embrace feels like home.

Getting to know you over a drink at a nice bar or restaurant.

PS: Don't be surprised if I looked at your profile but didn't write even though I thought you were a hottie. I don't write first.
Why?? Because you're a guy, and I like guys with initiative. So if you like what you've seen, Man-Up and and say so...

(And I promise to stop ordering you around after this).

XXOO
