Xtreme: "Arianna, you are a house dancer just starting out as a feature."

Arianna: "Yes. And I’m a head liner."

Xtreme: "What’s that?"

Arianna: "A head liner is somebody who has credits and titles who uses those to go on the road and people come see you."

Xtreme: You know you would probably make more money being a house dancer, so why do you want to feature?"

Arianna: "That all depends. I want to be a feature because of the satisfaction."

Xtreme: "What do you mean?"

Arianna: "I’ve been at Godfather II’s for 4 ½ years and although a lot of people know me, how many are going to remember me? If I’m in a lot of magazines and feature I will be remembered?

Xtreme: "Probably no one’s going to remember you in a hundred years no matter what you do."

Arianna: "Probably not but in a hundred years who’s going to remember Michael Jordan?"

Xtreme: "Why aren’t the other girls at Godfather II’s doing what you are doing?"

Arianna: "I don’t think they have the drive. They lack motivation. It’s all about how you drive yourself. I’m very self driven. I believe in having the best and being the best at what I do. Most girls who dance only care about money. And sometimes money isn’t what makes the person. Many times it’s about having self respect, moral factors, and just being a true person.

Xtreme: What do you have that other dancers don’t have?"

Arianna: "Personality. Jack, you’ve known me for some time and we spent that weekend together and you know how I am. You’ve seen me go without my makeup. It’s just me. You get this and it’s me. People either love me or they hate me. You asked about other dancers. They are worried too much about money and you can’t have personality when you are too worried about a dollar bill all the time.

Xtreme: "Over at Big Al’s you tell me you rely a lot on your good looks.

Arianna: "Every feature offers something. Me. I’m all about sexuality. When you see me you get the charisma of someone who is very sexual, sensual and at the same time class. Me...I will pull you in with my eye contact. When you see me you see one of the most sexual women you will ever look at.

Xtreme: "Now don’t give yourself too much."

Arianna: "I’m just talking about what goes on in my mind when I’m on the stage. I block everything else out of my mind. I know that I’m giving the show to be sexual. And when you look at me that’s what I want you to see of me. I want you to feel like when I’m on the stage with you, I’m in bed with you."

Xtreme: "Don’t do this to me."

Arianna: "Everything that I do I want you to feel like I’m getting you off."

Xtreme: "What are your long term goals while working in this profession?"

Arianna: "I don’t want to do this forever but I want to be one dancer who can say I didn’t waste my money on cocaine, I didn’t waste my money on drugs, I didn’t stay up all night drinking alcohol, and that I can have fun when I’m 35 doing this. You can’t do this forever but if you do it right you don’t have to do anything else afterwards. I just want to leave this business with a name of respect, and for people to say, I remember her as a good girl, and I liked watching her. She was very much what we expected–a great show and a great person."

Watching the great features perform is an unforgettable experience–especially when they are at their best. But wouldn’t it be something to watch a young girl climb to the pinnacle of her profession and be there when she’s just starting her climb to the top? I was a kid watching Muhammad Ali just starting out as he set out to become the greatest heavyweight of all time. Back then he was Cassius Clay and he was from Louisville Kentucky. So is Arianna a Del.
