Though we've watched her grow for two seasons of Flavor of Love, New York remains a woman of mystery. Where did she grow up? What's her most prized possession? If she were an animal, what would she be? Since she's now the star of her own dating show, it's time to find out. Using speed-dating questions devised by Futurescopes.com (what better way, after all, to get to know the modern woman?) and a few of our own, we probed deep into the psyche of New York. The results may shock you.
Where did you grow up?
In Upstate New York – Newhartford, NY and Utica, NY. I lived there for a big chunk of my life – the chunk where I was too young to branch out on my own.
Before Flavor of Love, what did you do?
I was a buyer with my good friend of many years, maybe 8 or 9. He owns his own store and I had stock in it. He trusted me to go on trips with him and pick out the latest fashions because I have such good style.
When was your last relationship and how long did it last?
My last real relationship ended two years ago and it lasted for a really long time. A really, really long time.
What are you looking for in a relationship?
It's pretty simple. I look for honesty, a great sense of humor and someone that can understand that I'm not going to be perfect all the time. I'm gonna have my days when I get up and am crazy and scatterbrained.
Do you have a "type?"
Nobody's gonna believe this, but there's no one physical type. As long as he's hitting me mentally and emotionally, I don't care if he looks like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Do you ever want to be married?
Absolutely. I think that one day, probably not soon, but yeah, I wanna be married one day so I can see how it feels…and so I can cut the cake. I just want to cut that big six-foot wedding cake.
Do you want children?
Yes. I know that I want three – two boys and one little princess. But not for a while. My 20's, they're for me. So I'd have to say some time in my 30's.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Absolutely. It has never happened to me, but maybe it will.
What are your turn-ons?
Someone with great, fresh breath. Someone who can pick a great cologne, like a Calvin Klein. Someone that has a great smell to him. Clean socks – you can always tell how clean a man's underwear are if you tell him to take off his shoes and his socks are clean.
Turn-offs?
Everything opposite of what I just said. I hate bad breath. And shoes – a few scuff marks are OK, but if your shoes are turning up and they look all distraught and looking sad, it's time to move on. You can't have any stains on your clothes. Pimples, that type of thing. You just gotta be groomed.
How important is sexual compatibility to you?
It's very important. It's never about size, it's always about the mental connection first and the physical connection second.
Boxers or briefs?
Oh my gosh, you better give me a man who has to wear boxers, because briefs are too tight for his ass!
What are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the fact that I don't have a record. I've never had a run-in with the law. I get along great with my family and I have a good sense of values.
Is religion important to you?
Absolutely. I grew up in the church. I have strayed, but religion is still very important.
What about politics?
Hell no, I don't follow them. That s*** is mad boring.
What's your most treasured possession?
You probably won't understand it, but I love being a woman. I would have to say my most treasured possession is my vagina.
Do you like animals?
I love animals. I have a beautiful cat named Baby Lovingly. I found her outside, she was scratching really hard for food about four years ago. She's all black and has the most beautiful green eyes you'll ever see. And I have a Chihuahua and her name is Your Majesty.
If you were an animal, what would you be?
I'd have to be a cheetah. They're long, they're sleek, they're sexy and they can get away at the drop of a dime. I could do my dirt and then run from it real quick.
Do you cook?
Yes, I do. I take pride in my cooking.
If you had friends coming over for a dinner party, what would you serve?
Lobster artichoke dip. Chicken Cordon Bleu. Biscuits from scratch.
What makes you laugh the hardest?
I love to see fights. Fist fights and action movies – things where people get blown up and stomped out by gangs. That makes me crack up the hardest.
What makes you cry?
When I can't get my way, I'm crying.
Are you a morning person or a night person?
I'm so a night person. I'm so nocturnal.
Who are your favorite musicians?
Jay-Z, India.Arie, the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep and right now, I love John Legend and Alicia Keys.
Favorite movie?
The classic, original version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Favorite TV show?
The Twilight Zone.
Favorite book?
I don't know, I don't do that much reading. My favorite magazine is Us Weekly.
Favorite drink?
Vodka and Red Bull.
Favorite food?
Fresh French fries.
Favorite designer?
Michael Kors.
Menthol cigarettes or regular?
Menthols.
Favorite vacation spot?
Anywhere where the climate is too hot for a black woman, that's my favorite spot.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
I see myself extremely wealthy, loving life and being bad…but good!
You have six months left to live: what do you do?
I would clear out my bank account and go shopping fabulously – Rodeo Drive, Fifth Ave., all that stuff. I would go to some people's houses that have done me wrong and beat their asses. I would apologize to the people I need to apologize to. I would get right with God…oh, I would have sex, too!

I think you should stop thinking about sex all the time, stop being such a huge fake, get 2 know what other people think "it's not always about you hunny" accually get to know flava flav before you try to get him into ur pants every 5 seconds and trying to win him over.I also think that Crazy is fake just like you, boots needed to stay but she didnt so i guess im gonna have to go with deelishis shes all natural baby not a fake ass like you...peace out.

New York... sorry to say this my delusional one, but no one really wants to see a show where you show more daily fits, show your thongs and cry to get your way.
I think VH-1 is wasting the air waves... there's got to be a better thing they can do for a new show.
Getting your heart broke once... maybe twice BIG DEAL! It happens to everyone...just maybe not on National TV.
What you need to do is grow up... plain and simple.
Flav was crazy to have you on the show a second time... I think that was for TV only... not much else.
You should have listened to your momma... and went home with her.

If you were an animal, what would you be?
New York says she would be a cheetah. I think from more objective perspective, the correct answer is "an affection-starved rabid mongoose."
Just as sleek and fast, but there's a mean-spirited gutter viciousness to your girl New York that the cheetah doesn't quite capture.

Wassup New york, you are the best. I think that flav did you so wrong, but who needs him he's ugly and broke. Even though I think you won't find true love on your T.V. show, I do believe that you will find true love. don't run after it let it come to you. Be patient, because god is preparing for you to meet the right one. So good luck. And keep being New York.

Posted by: Jessica | January 04, 2007 at 06:01 PM
New York,
You have mad issues and the only that can help you is Jesus. That is not really you on the flava of love. You are putting on the fronts. You can't even stand up to your mother, how are you ever going to have a meaningful relationship and you can't run your own life?????You are searching for love in all the wrong places babe. Hope you don't get burned again!!!!!

Hey New York,
I have watched you from day one since the first season of flavor of love. You are my favorite of the the women from both seasons. You are the only reason I watched the second season. Once you came on I knew it was going to be good. Keep up the good work, live long and prosper. I hope this time you will find someone who truly loves you and respects you for you. Love ya girl and best wishes

Posted by: LaVaNiT | January 04, 2007 at 08:20 PM
I LOVE NEW YORK!!! Although my husband can't stand her he thinks she HOT(which she is). I wanted her to win the first and the second time, but now that I think about it I'm glad she didn't wind up with flav. he's extremly egocentric and after the second seasons I couldn't really stand him anymore especially after what he did to New York (Tiffany)....Anyway, I LOVE YOU NEW YORK!!! Keep your head up gurl, you'll find your true love..Oh yeah I LOVE YOUR MOM TOO!!! Wish my mom had my back like that...
Peace and Love to you all!

New York is awesome. Don't ever let anybody get you down!! You should speak your mind girl, that's the way to do it. I love how real you are and one day I wish to be as outspoken as you. You Rock I watched every episode of Flavor of Love and plan on watching every episode of I love New York. Can't wait to hear from you.
