Beauty & Brains

Millie Rivera

Millie: This wonderful man that is in my life, is nothing but a lover! A lover of my ambition, my style, my strength, my beauty and is not in any way a fighter, because he knows I can handle it MYSELF! If things get rough, I can call him in for backup.

HHDX: Okay, killer… be easy. Me, I love a brainy woman -- if there was one thing that would rile you up about the opposite sex, what would it be?

Millie: A brainy man is the ultimate in sexy for me. Contrary to popular belief, I am not 100% about looks. Looks capture my attention, yes, but once a man opens his mouth and expresses to me philosophy, his take on religion, science, societal issues and so forth... I'M WET! [laughs] But… if he opens his mouth and sounds like someone with no education and slang to the point of no comprehension then it's… “Hello, Sahara Desert!”

HHDX: Well, at least I hope that I don't have to be familiar with Nitzsche just to make you smile. On your MySpace page, it says that you are close to your family -- what have your loved ones instilled in you that creates such an "arrogance" about yourself?

Millie: I think in me, my family (namely my mother) has instilled the notion that if I exude my confidence and my self-worth, that's how people will treat me. I guess I took that and ran with it, hence, the "arrogance" people see now. No one can mess with me, I carry my confidence on my sleeve and I make people second guess if they have what it takes to approach me with anything.

HHDX: Ouch! Why give them the fifth degree burn treatment? Couldn’t you just play nice?

Millie: Well, to answer your question my life is happy and relatively "drama" free and to keep it that way people go through a sort of unconscious screening. Basically, if someone truly has to second-guess what they approach me with, it's either A) They have no self-confidence which is a necessity in ANYONE'S life. Or B) What they were going to approach me with did not have my best interest at heart.

HHDX: Our media has become saturated in sex. As a Communications major, what would you do to lessen the negative influences that are broadcasted on our airwaves.

Millie: I personally don't have an issue with "sex talk" or having sex be a focal point of discussion. To be realistic, there is no way anyone can get rid of SEX in the media. I believe to lessen the negative aspects of sex in the media is only to speak positively of issues on sexuality, better safety precautions, and an openness to have people to achieve a happier sex life.

HHDX: So what is your favorite… uhh, position… to be in – when it comes to relationships and business? Have you ever mixed the two?

Millie: Well, my favorite position in relationships is the "laid back" position [laughs]. It’s the type of position where I go with the flow and act in the moment of things. Too many questions and too many explanations on why good things are happening in a relationship kill the moment. In business, my favorite position is to "be on top.” That means to be on top of everything I do, everything that is going on, because when my paycheck is involved, trust that I’m "on the ball."
