Dariea: Urbancougar of the Month, May 2008

Dariea is 5'9, 132lbs, size 5 pants and, as she notes, posessed of "big boobs." She has worked in the movie industry for over 26 years as a personal stand-in, photo-double and stunt person for Kim Basinger in over 18 projects, including "The Get Away", "Final Analysis" and her personal favorite (and ours) "LA Confidential." And since you asked, yes, she did all of her nudity! She's also doubled for other noted cougars like Daryl Hanna and Uma Thurman. She traveled the world through her work in the film industry, has been to a lot of really fun places and met a ton of really cool people. She is currently a Casting Director with an office at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach. She owns Premiertalent.com  – a first-of-its-kind online casting company – and is co-owner/CEO of Studiocast.com which she helped to create after casting her first film and recognizing the huge gap between actors, directors, producers world-wide. "Ummm so I fixed it!," she says proudly, as she should. "You'll be seeing a lot of it in the summer."

She loves the beach, lived on Kauai for 5 years and also Oahu. She worked at Dukes on both islands, "just for the fun social part of it including meeting people from every part of the world." She also worked at Dukes in Malibu. She has 3 children – a 15 year old, and two 3 year olds – "all boys and one of the babies I adopted at birth," she says.

On her interests, she tells us, "I love traveling, cosmos, lemon drops, dancing and singing, even though I'd be a perfect candidate for the American Idols 'Bloopers' show! I love pizza, M&M's, chicken chow mein, and Diet Coke Zero – I think I'd die without it. Love Cabo San Lucas. My favorite thing to do is have a Pina Colada and throw myself right onto the sand without a towel to sun my buns. I love limos, fun dinners, but I also love nights at home watching TV and cuddling. I am spontaneous and kind of a brat, but hey – at least I'm far from boring! I'm one to take a dare to make my friends laugh – one of which ended up having me crawl up a stripper pole at Club Light at the Bellagio with a dress on… ya huh – niiiiiice – OK but it was funny!"


Why We Love Her
Apart from the fact that she's body-doubled for fellow cougars like Kim Basinger, Daryl Hannah and Uma Thurman? Well, we've gotten to know Dariea a little bit and she's just about everything we look for in a cougar. She's smart, sexy and fun. She's an accomplished business woman and world traveler. She's not afraid to climb a stripper pole in a dress and give a little looksee. And she's proud to be a cougar! Oh, and did we mention she did Kim Basinger's nude scenes

Anyway, enough about what we think. On to the Q&A!

What do you think it takes to be a cougar?
To be a cougar it takes, charm, charisma and class and definitely self confidence. I think a cougar should take care of herself every single day – to look as hot as she can on a constant basis, and be open minded, and willing to play in many different ways and on many different levels. Cougars need to be spontaneous and take charge, but be willing to take the back seat ; )

What's it about younger men?
Younger men are just hot – no and ifs or buts about it – they are more active physically and are more willing to say "yes" and try different things, to laugh, and play and treat you like a princess (which all women love) – young men like to be spoiled, but sometimes spanked and love to give over control to an older women, but still want to know that what they say and do matters and has value. There is nothing in this world like a younger man – you should try it! LOL

What draws younger men to you?
Younger men have always been attracted to me, probably starting at the age of 30, I think that I have a serious side, but also a bratty, hyper, fun edge that makes for an interesting mix. I'm willing to listen, offer advice, but also give them the respect and power they deserve as men. I love to try new things, and am very open minded in every way, which is something I think women of all ages should be and do.

How does it make you feel when a younger man falls prey to your seductions?
It depends on where and when it happens, but basically it can be like winning at black jack, or like roulette, but I don't try to have them fall prey on me although there have been a few times I've done this or that just to see if they look or how far they will go to ask for my name or start conversation. I think it's cute.

Tell us about your latest/favorite experience with a younger man?
My most recent experience with a younger man is with a professional athlete that is a boxer, he's amazing in every way. I met him through myspace. His pics were fully hot and the way he made me laugh in his messages attracted me immediately to him. He's spontaneous, fun, extremely smart and amazing in bed. He's up for this or that and willing to experiment and try new things without knocking them. I'm treated like a princess and he's willing to do what it takes to make me happy.

How do you maintain your feline allure?
Maintaining my feline allure has been pretty simple since I have been raised in this industry since the age of 15. Being a step ahead of the game helps since I am always working with a ton of people that really genuinely care what they look like and how to be classy when you need to be but still really saucy and fun at the same time.

Words of wisdom for your fellow cougars out there?
Fellow Cougars, remember that the world is like a candy store filled with tons of young great looking men. Be confident, picky and choosey. The fun, play times we can offer these "guys" or a particular "guy" can't be compared to the affection and knowledge a younger girl is experienced enough to offer.
