The best part of doing what I do is meeting women (grin). The worst part of doing what I do? Meeting women (lol). In an entertainment world were women take pictures and in some circles get perceived badly I decided to create a platform where they get to put a voice behind bad perception. It’s called MXyMAG.com and it features not just any ordinary woman, but Hustlers who motion towards something that is beyond the grasp of an ordinary person.

Earlier today I had lunch with a lady downtown Toronto and she told me her big dream of wanting to open a center for orphans, one friend of mines owns a clothing line, some are actors, I met one person who is in production and TV and a good close friend of mines once knocked me to the ground when she started breaking down her cleaning company. Most of the models on MXyMAG.com are making big moves.

Today’s Eyecandy goes by the name of Cici Santerelli. I won’t need to go past her name to tell you that she has what it takes to light an ice cube on fire.

It’s true that I understand your arguments that even though interviews are posted on MXyMAG.com that sometimes you tend to not go past the pictures (I do that too, don’t we all?). Cici unraveled to be much more than just another model posing with pictures, she is a woman with dreams of her own.

With her own Social Networking website starring some of your favorite Eyecandy models, a minor in entrepreneurship and journalism. She proves that she isn’t just curves, a thong and a bra, she is well equipped with enough ammo to become star studded.

and I’m glad to have her on. In her interview Santarelli talks about several things like her website, the hard knock life and taking over the world.. EZ

Introducing CiCi Santarelli
See now you are going to have me talking for days! For those of you who don’t know. My name is CiCi Santarelli. I am new face to the industry with plans to dominate nearly every aspect of the entertainment industry. I am 19 years old and hail from the small, blue collared town of Steubenville,Ohio.

High School
I graduated High School with my cosmetology license and now am my second year at Kent State University, majoring in Fashion Merchandising and minoring in Public Relations. Although, I am undecided on rather I am changing my minor to Entrepreneurship or Journalism. Shortly after I graduated from high school I started doing promotional modeling and led up to what I am doing now. I have been nominated for the Ohio Hip Hop Awards for two consecutive years. You may have seen me in the April Issue of The Source Magazine or such sites as College Humor, HipHopDX (Sierra Horstin), or HipHopHoney.com.

CiCi Remix’d
Everyone takes one glance at me and asks that question. Some of the guesses I get from people are Mexican, Latino or Tahitian. But, my ethnicity is Italian and African American.

The Journalist
I am a journalist for Yo! Raps Eyecandy Section at yoraps.com and BlackSportsOnline I have a section called Industry Indescretions ,which will be released later this week. I have my own social network cicisantarelli.com. Later this month I have a paid membersite coming out. www.sinfullycici.com. Which I teamed up with photographer Ransom J and model Amber Fox. You probably saw Amber in such publications as Smooth, King , and SHOW. Later this month I will start shooting for my second paid member site. www.exoticcici.com in partnership with Team Omni and Starlet TV.

Hardknock Life
That’s a good question! I think that comes from the hardships I have gone through in my past and where I come from. I come from a small town where there is literally nothing. No job opportunities, most of the people are either on welfare, selling drugs, or suffering with substance abuse. I’m talking like when I went away for my first year of college and came back for summer vacation; a majority of the people I went to school with were on opients, coke, or heroine. And most of the girls were having babies, some of them even on their second child. I look around knowing that this is a far different place from the rest of the world. Where do I plan on taking this? I want to be limitless and just sink my claws into everything.

The Takeover
I want people to turn on their T.V and see me on videos, soap operas, commercials, and movies. Turn on the radio and me having my own radio show. When they open up the magazine they see me featured in various publications, rather it’s me in a spread or something I wrote. But, my ultimate goal is to start a philanthropy and give back to my hometown. I want to open businesses ,because too often I see people who succeed, venture off, and don’t give back to the community they were brought up in. Resources are created elsewhere and over saturation sets in. In addition, I would like to do a philanthropy, set up a youth organization ,because I feel the youth is where it all starts.

One Chance for shine
One of my managers former models was my neighbor at the time. One of her girls had a seizure and couldn’t make it to do promo work at this nightclub in Cleveland, Ohio. Her former model showed her my MySpace and she thought I had a good look ,so she invited me up. I liked the idea of going out to different events and mingling with people. In the duration of doing all the promotional work throughout Ohio, I had networked with a lot of DJ’s, promoters,etc. Before I knew it I was doing photo shoots and was nominated for the Best Model Category at the Ohio Hip Hop Awards. So, that for me was like, “Wow,I have a look and a hustle … this could work!” I been grinding it out every since.

My First Job
My very first job was a promotional gig at this club in Cleveland ,Ohio called the Metropolis. At the time, the entertainment company I work for had an artist. A few other models and myself passed out mixtapes, flyers, and posters.
DREAM PROJECT
The project of my dreams … that’s kind of a hard question. My dream project in the entertainment industry would be a movie role. Where I played a controversial role that went against the envelope. My co-star would be a Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson or a Morgan Freeman. However, my dream project in life would be a community Redevelopment project for my hometown.

Thank You’s and Goodbyes
Well I would like to close this interview by thanking www.hiphopone.biz for giving me this opportunity!  Also, I have to give a special thanks to my mom-ager and my support team.  We eat, sleep, and breathe together; without them I couldn’t do half the stuff I am doing now.  To all the viewers I want you all to sign up on CiCi’s Playground at www.cicisantarelli.com.  Look out for www.sinfullycici.com opening by the end of this month! Also, go to www.ohiohiphopawrds.com and vote for me Best Model.
