August 30     Cameron Diaz A tall, strikingly attractive blue-eyed natural blonde, Cameron was born in 1972 in San Diego, the daughter of a Cuban-American father and an Anglo-German mother. Self described as "adventurous, independent and a tough kid," Cameron left home at 16 and for the next 5 years lived in such varied locales as Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco, and Paris. Returning to California at the age of 21, she was working as a mo- del when she auditioned for a big part in The Mask (1994) To her amazement and des- pite having no previous acting experience, she was cast as the female lead in the film opposite Jim Carrey. Over the next 3 years, she honed her acting skills in such low bu- dget independent films as The Last Supper (1995); Feeling Minnesota (1996); and Head Above Water (1996). She returned to main stream films in My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), in which she held her own against veteran actress Julia Roberts. She earned full fledged star status in 1998 for her performance in the box office smash There's Some- thing About Mary (1998). With her name near the top on virtually every list of Hollyood's sexiest actresses, and firmly established as one of filmdom's hottest properties and most sought after actresses, Cameron appears to possess everything necessary to become one of the super stars of this century. She is filmed dancing in almost every movie. Became the second actress to join the coveted $20 Million Club (after Julia Roberts), when she signed for that amount to do Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) in January 2002. Named #11 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2005 list. Named #13 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005" special supplement.

I did find a piece of art I wanted converted, as I was goin' to have as a small one on my shoulder as I already have tats on my back. But, ideally would love it as a back piece. Problem is though, not many people like women tattooed that much, and I struggle to keep the tats I've already got hidden from parents! I absolutely love vampires, been fascinated from an early age.
