I'm a huge fan of the movie "Queen of the Damned," and it's my favourite movie of all times.

The image that keeps coming to my mind when I think about Paris in Repo is one of the characters in QotD: Akasha.

This is my favourite scene of all times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojfbNnAsbwE

I've always wanted Paris to remake this scene in a different way. Watch the way Akasha (played by late Aaliyah) moves, all the attention and mystery that surrounds her. Imagine if Paris was doing that scene. It would be totally unexpected for the public, and it's very captivating and mysterious.

The character Paris is playing is sexy and someone who always wants to be on the spotlight (likes attention). I'm not sure, but I think she's also evil. This reminds me a lot of Akasha, and this is the image that keeps coming to my mind.

What do you think?

I've never gotten round to seeing Queen Of The Damned but that scene was interesting. I guess only time (or someone more familiar with the stage version of Repo) will tell if Paris has any similar scenes.

Seductive dance wise however, I don't think it would really be all that different for Paris's public persona. It's not too far from her dancing on tabletops, the strip tease in House Of Wax and the scene where she seduces a professor giving a lecture in Pledge This for instance. I would like to see Paris work some mystery and mystique to good effect though.

I wonder if Paris's character will be irredeemably evil in Repo, or if there'll be a chance of redemption like Princess Aura in Flash Gordon or the Honor Blackman character in Goldfinger for example.
