FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Tanjareen, who designed your website?
-- Me, Jaime, & Lucy of LUSCEN MARKETING. www.luscen.com They’re awesome!

Tanjareen, who’s singing your theme song?
-- The Jimmy Dorsey Band feat. Helen O’Conner (1941) remixed by my boy DJ Prime (2001)

Tanjareen, who drew the cartoon image of you in the orange swimsuit?
--Lautrec Square drew the face & body. Allah Divine added the legs & high heels.

Tanjareen, how did you get started in the business?
-- I’ve wanted to be an actor since my first stage play in the 1st grade.  In college, I majored in Radio-TV-Film & did an internship at Paramount Pictures during my senior year.  Luckily they hired me on as soon as I graduated. Thanks to that job, I networked with people & learned more about being behind the camera. One day they hired me to model bikinis on our talk show & I received my SAG card.  After a couple of seasons, I “quit my day job” to pursue being in front of the camera full time.

Tanjareen, how can I get started in the business?
-- Feel free to read my blog “Advice to New Actors”  click here        

Tanjareen, what should I do to be healthy, fit, & youthful like you?
--If you've been eating the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) most of your life, you may suffer from low energy, tummy bulge, migraines, cramps, sinus problems, asthma, allergies, eczema, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, herpes, cancer, or any other so-called incurable dis-ease. I highly recommend you begin your healing by detoxifying your body. You can purchase my favorite FULL BODY DETOX in the CITRIC SENTIMENTS STORE under HERBAN VIXEN click here
