I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE

THE LONG WINDING ROAD
occupation: Set to inherit her estranged father's multi-million dollar hotel chain, alonzo, an exotic dancer on occasion. residence: The Lakewood Condominiums. No need to have a huge house when she's never going to be there, right? been in vegas for how long and why: Envy hasn't been in Vegas for very long. She originally came here to escape her family pressures, but her father, being the businessman he is, decided to extend his alonzo hotel chain, and where better than Vegas? Having Envy for a daughter simply meant he had a walking, talking, flirting billboard for his hotel - free advertisement, in a way. She finds her own way to rebel by exotic dancing, not that it works well, once her secret came out business at her father's hotel boomed like mad. Vegas is, after all, by reputation attracted to anything distantly related to sex. Thus far, it's been a grand total of 2 years in Vegas, and the place has already become a home to her.

"Well, what would you expect a girl to be growing up with my history? Bitter, twisted and deluded perhaps? I would say i'm the complete opposite. Yeah, i've come from a somewhat dysfunctional background but i love who i have become. I do what i please and i do it well. I have strong morals and beliefs, which i thank my beloved mae for. She is a beautiful woman and i just wish i could become half of the legend she is.
First of all, i'm the ultimate party girl. There is nothing i love to do more than let loose on the dance floor and down a whole lot of alochol. I can drink plenty of guys under the table and i'm proud of it. Most of the snotty girls at the private schools i've been at have turned their perfect little noses up at this but hell, i couldn't care less.
I'm a loyal friend, i stick it out and i will always be there for someone who will do the same for me. I like to surround myself with alot of people but there are only ever a select few i will allow myself to grow close to. I don't trust easily and i've become pretty good at keeping personal details to myself. I just don't let things get to me, i'm stronger than that and i figure there is so much more to life than the nasty shit you are dealt at high school.
I love to flirt. I guess it comes with the brazilian way. I mean, we think nothing of getting naked on the beach infront of a whole lot of strangers. I'm very uninhibited and i love to have fun with boys, even girls a little - work them up a little, you know. Although you should know now i'm anything but easy. It all links up with the trust thing. I don't just give in to anyone you know what i'm saying? A few flirty winks and naughty words don't get me in bed.
I pride myself on my maturity. Well, when it comes to my mischievous manner i guess that doesn't really apply. But i'm an independent girl. I like to look after myself. I don't let my wealth or my famous parents dictate my life and i definately don't use it to my advantage. I have no respect for girls or guys who do this, and if you ever try to use me for this, i will catch on. And i'll kick your ass, alright?
Expect me to be the wilder than average, louder than life brazilian dancer who will either piss the hell out of you or be your greatest blessing, because whether you like it or not life will be a whole lot more interesting with me around. That's a promise"
fears: Envy's biggest fear probably has to be trusting. Trusting too much. She finds it hard to let someone, despite how long she's known the person, to know everything about her. It makes her feel vulnerable, and despite her flirty open attitude she has a scare for being vulnerable to anybody else. It's probably the reason she has more flings than friends, but it's an issue she's trying to work on. secrets: Envy's first secret has to be her "moonlighting" as an exotic dancer in Vegas. It's probably the perfect way for her to get rid of any tension. It's flirty, hot, and completely helps her identify her as a partygirl. There's just the one problem ~ being in the spotlight and being a stripper. The two tend not to go so well together, unless your boss is Hefner. Envy would never go that far though. Although she's completely comfortable as an exotic dancer, she secretly fears it being released to the public. It's one of the things she does for herself.
Envy's second secret is her bisexuality. She's still unsure of her sexuality, and has as of recently been exerimenting with women. She's a little scared simply because she doesn't know, an annoying pet peeve of her. goals: At this point in her life, Envy doesn't have many goals. Live, Party, and Enjoy is the mantra she lives by. With a trust fund backing her up, Envy has no problem spending her days partying it up. And what better place than sin city? Envy's other...backseat goals include her hopefully one day trusting someone enough to fall in love and settle down, and perhaps even one day have a child. One day very very very far away.
WHEN I GET HOME
family: Father - alonzo marcos bowers; business tycoon; hotel owner Mother - alegria natalia rodrigues; former model history:
"people always said i was going to be a leo. I was a kicker. And i mean a bad kicker. Mãe always jokes that i was the reason she never had any other kids. I was problematic right from the beginning. Not only was i a painful unborn baby, i was also a breach birth, meaning i was trying to stick my ass out first. Ha, i guess i knew i had a bit too much junk in my trunk even back then! Or maybe i just wanted to show it off, who knows.
So throughout my toddler years i was known for being a little too outgoing beyond my years. I was a total shit, to be honest. Always singing, dancing and talking and always way too loud. I was like the innocent little girl in my frills and pink ruffles asking way too many questions and always a little too keen to put on a makeshift stage performance for my family. I loved to perform. I still do. From the age of five i was dancing the native samba for street carnivals and special festivals in my home city of sao paulo, the wealthiest city in brazil.
My father was a businessman from childhood. From what i've heard he always had an eye for the dollar. Hey, don't get me wrong, as much as i'd like to deny it. His wealth definitely helped me get where i am today and i'm totally grateful for it, but he's not the most admirable man around. The famous and established 'alonzo' hotel chain was founded by my respectable grandfather, emilio alonzo rodrigues, and he poured his heart and soul into making it what it is today. It began with a flagship building in sao paulo, before hotels popped up in all the most chic and exotiic cities of the world - including london, milan, new york, los angeles, melbourne, bali, ibiza. When he passed away from a stroke when i was still in the womb, my father inherited the business, after working for my grandfather as his business analyst. My father always had a bit of a greedy side. An arrogant streak that made him believe that he could have whatever he wanted. Including my mother.
My mother was a supermodel. One of the most well respected, sought after and naturally beautiful women of her day. She hit her peak in 1989, merely two years before i was born. She could have been so much more if it hadn't been for my father corrupting her. Mae was so innocent, a small flower tarnished by the influence of hollywood and fame. She met my father while she was walking a runway show at his hotel in sao paulo, she was always a hopeless romantic, a trait which i am very happy to announce i have definately not inherited. She immediately fell for his cool, laid back and arrogant charm and before she knew it he was asking for her hand in marriage. By then she knew he was self assured enough to know she would accept, but she was too naive to see he was doing it primarily for appearances. Well, some could argue this point but i know my parents better than anyone and i can tell you, after years of living with them my own two eyes do not lie. I've always had a good judgement of character. I instinctively pick up on personalities and vibes - something you should be wary of when trying to get close to me.
So as soon as i was born i was treated like royalty - pampered, admired and photographed arguably more than most other celebrity babies in the world. And i never even asked for it. Sure, i was always starving for attention but not from the public. My school life was privileged. I was sent to the most exclusive schools in sao paulo from the age of five, where my strengths lay in learning the english language, history and art. Dance was never a legitimate class but it was my sole passion - i danced after school three times a week with a private tutor who carried on my tuition in samba and also introduced me to hip hop, salsa and latin american style. By the age of fourteen i was a back up dancer for various hip hop and hispanic artists, and also snatched by the ugly world of drugs and fame. I was naive and innocent before i was taken by this lifestyle, and by the time my always loving and encouraging mother managed to pull me out i was a different person. I was tougher, more worldly and much less trusting. I could tell the strain it had on my mother though. While i had been so self absorbed my parents marriage had been falling apart. My father barely had anything to do with me, he even attempted to disown me while i was on my downward spiral as i was a "bad association" to his name and business. While my mother stood by me, their relationship crumbled and by the time i had returned from rehab things were so different...
My father was in a new relationship, one with a horrible lady so obviously intimidated by my mother's reputable and glamorous existence. She was forever nasty to us both, and her daughter's were just the same. The two girls are the same age as me, give or take a few months, but they never liked the fact that i was my father's flesh and blood. They were gold diggers - the whole lot of them. While i was recovering from my stint in drugs and the wild life, my father re-connected all our ties and decided that since i had won over the publics' hearts again through my comeback from rehab, maybe i wasn't such a threat to his reputation after all. He named me sole inheritor of his entire hotel chain. Much to my step family's disgust.
To be honest, that is definitely the last thing i need. This whole ordeal only happened a year ago, i guess when my father finally realized that i had always been popular among the public, despite my 'upset'. I suppose he sees me as a good endorsement. But to be frank, he can take his hotel chain and shove it. I don't need the money, the fame or the business. All i care about right now is having fun, partying and living the life."
pets: Never quite saw the attraction.
