Interesting Facts

• She and Erin Albright were lovers, but it was more serious for her than for Erin.
• She attended Erin and Shauna Hunnicut’s pre-wedding party at the Down and Dirty.
• Her townhome shared a wall with her grandparents, and they, along with some other townhomes, and the restaurant, the strip club where she worked, and some other businesses were all owned by Lopez Family LLC.
• She had no skill for cooking or for the restaurant business, but had other skills, according to her grandmother, who said their priest planned to dedicate a mass to Erin.
• She didn’t like Shauna, found her boring and ordinary, and didn’t understand what Erin saw in her.
• She’d posed for Erin, and they had sex at her studio. She also posed for Anton Carver, one of the artists who shared studio space with Erin, and had sex with him a few times after he sketched her, after Erin had met Shauna.
• She was tall and strong enough to have been Erin’s killer, and was angry
• Her maternal grandparents, the Delgatos, crossed the border into the States -- documentation vague on exactly when and where. All four of their children were born in the U.S., with the younger two, including Anna Maria, born in New York.
• She had a private school education, dance lessons, and raves for school musicals. She majored in theater, then switched to business her third years in. Two dings for assault, charges dropped, anger management required. She continued to take dance lessons, spent a lot on clothes -- most custom tailored -- more on salons and spas. She had weekly payments to a Dr. Rene Koons -- a shrink on the Lower West Side. Another weely to a Stefan Michael, a masseur. And several payments over the last eight years to the gallery where Erin sold her work. She’s in excellent financial shape and invests well.
• She bought one of Erin’s paintings about two weeks before her death, a smoke tree in full blossom, painted from one on the High Line, with a stormy sky behind, a flash of lightning in the clouds - dramatic and detailed.
• Carver thought she had a mean streak in her, and she grilled him for info on Shauna, but it would have more sense to kill Shauna than Erin if she wanted her back.
• She told Donna Fleschner if she was going to transition, she should’ve paid for better boobs, according to Becca DiNuzio; Donna said “she said it like a joke, but it stung.”
• Greg Barney, Clint Wetz, Erin, Shauna, Angie Decker, and a few others who were in relationships went to see her dance at her club, according to Angie, who said ChiChi’s wired to shoot “out sharp little arrows. She’s judgmental, and can be harsh, She’d sometimes take shots at Donna because Donna and Erin were close. Donna wouldn’t tell Erin,” but did tell Angie because she took shots at her also. After her set, she came over to their table and when somebody said something about her being mega flexible, she rubbed against Erin and said how Erin always liked that about her. “It was crude and uncalled for. But Shauna? She just laughed, then bent her leg up behind her -- grabbed her ankle and bent her leg up over her head. And said like ‘Me, too.’”
• The assistant manager of Fancy Feet told Eve and Peabody about her visiting the store after Shauna and Erin had become involved with each other. She came in and said she wanted the manager, even though Mae-Lu was available, while Shauna was in the back. She told Shauna she wanted to try on some shoes and Mae-Lu got busy with a customer, then noticed how she was “sitting there, with a bunch of shoes and boxes all around -- that happens -- but she’s being bitchy about it, and she’s got Shauna down on the floor, putting her shoes on like she’s freaking Cinderella. We weren’t all that busy, like I said, but I bet I served three customers while this one’s sending Shauna back and forth. So when I’m free again, I go over and ask if I can take some of the shoes back for Shauna and Ms. Cinderella gives me that look again [the one that’s all: ‘as if’], and says how a manager should be able to manage. Then she puts her own shoes back on and says how there’s nothing in this store worth having. And gives Shauna that nasty look and says ‘Nothing at all.’ Then she walked out like the queen or whatever. I said something like, ‘Whew, rude much,’ but Shauna’s all ‘It's no big.’”
• Shauna and Erin’s neighbor, Ms. Burger, deemed her “snooty.”
• Marcus Stillwater’s impressions of her were hard, edgy, not especially warm. She didn’t like Shauna and Shauna didn’t like her back. Shauna didn’t want to make waves or cause trouble between them, so she didn’t tell Erin and neither did he. “Why muck things up?” He told Shauna it would probably smooth out over time.
• She came to Erin’s memorial drunk and slapped Shauna, who punched her, knocking her out.
• Mira said she had “narcissistic tendencies, but much of her self-worth is tied to her physicality and her sexuality. A difficult woman who uses that physicality and sex to attain what she wants. Attention, approval, admiration.”
