Members of the Arianna Varella fan club will tell you that the cover leaves the literal impression of her cutting wit, which is what this article is about. The Italic quotes are culled from a Twitter profile where she had a different stage name (I’ve combined some tweets due to relevance). If it wasn’t for her new stage name, the title would be a pun about something to do with cutting edge. She is primarily a singer/songwriter who also moonlights as a red carpet correspondent, model, actress and make-up artist (including prosthetics). She is an avid reader who has been in music videos. She was even an extra in Entourage and Shameless. She could easily have a career as a stand-up comic if she chose to pursue success in that medium. No, she’s not Indian. She is Tahitian, Puerto Rican, black, French and Norwegian. She is writing a book based on her unique experiences as a teen growing up in L.A.

“Tom Cruise annoys me to no end but Mission: Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol was pretty entertaining; and I’m not big on action flicks.”
“Reading the new Amy Winehouse book. No filler. Is it really a tragedy to die at 27 if you’re more fulfilled than most who live to be 100?”

“Millions of people with big egos, big houses, big cars, big wallets, big habits…but big hearts? I’ve met…..maybe two. Kanye West makes the best ego music ever.”

“Not getting attached is more of a survival technique than being heartless.”
“Now that summer has gone, my skin changes color like autumn leaves: cappuccino to caramel to butterscotch before finally settling on vanilla latte. No, I don’t f#ck with that nasty spray tan – I look Latina in the winter, Puerto Rican in the spring and 100% black in summer.”

“I only listen to hip hop for running. Sorry, no country or slow jams.”
“Obama can’t just be shuttin’ down L.A. streets rush hour like this. I know he wouldn’t try this s#!t in the hood. I really hope the next stop on Obama’s apology tour is Pearl Harbor since he found it so appropriate to go to Hiroshima Memorial Day weekend.”

“So this senior citizen motherf#cker at the pizza joint takes my credit card after I set it on the counter to pay, soon as my back was turned. I’m looking for it for like 10-15 minutes before I confront him about it and he can’t look me in the eye. I said “You ain’t happen to see my card, ain’t no one in the shop but you….” and he shakes his head. Turn my head again and he’s at the counter with my card claiming “Oh, I just found this.” I said “Oh really.“ You’re lucky your wife is here; I wouldn’t want her to have to see her husband take a left hook to the jaw. I don’t play games like that; and this mofo has the nerve to say “Finders keepers.” Oooooooooh, I swear to Jesus that I never wanted to beat an old person down so badly!! I had to restrain myself. *deep breathing exercises*……”
