MIMI’S MEAL TICKET
Sexy and seductive is Chinese-French DJ sensation, Misty Rabbit, aka Mimi Xu. Mimi has been spreading her wings beyond Paris and managed to garner a lovely reception for her electro-pop capabilities, her nifty label Kuskus, and her great fashion sense. But if you’re still a little fuzzed about this mystical creature, JUICE got her to spill 10 facts about herself.

1 – Mimi’s onstage name Misty comes from an old jazz song from the ‘50s, and Rabbit because she love rabbits. She knows it’s silly, but she loves it anyway.
2 – She says in France, you eat rabbits, but she always refuses to because they are so cute. Though she confessed she would probably wear the fur.
3 – Before becoming a musician, Mimi used to write for French fashion magazine, Jalouse, but quickly got bored with it.
4 – Mimi thinks being a musician is what gets her up in the morning these days.
5 – Her favourite subject in school was history because she thinks it’s all about defining the future.
6 – Although well-traveled, Mimi still thinks Paris is the best city in the world because the food is great and is close to wherever she travels.
7 – Misty Rabbit thinks that hell will be hot, fun and entertaining, and wants to go there when she dies.
8 – She is an avid Twitter-er but has not installed it in her Blackberry, otherwise things will get pretty ridiculous.
9 – She recently bought over the number one electronic music magazine in France, Trax. She aims to revamp it, give it a new art direction and inject a little bit of a fashion element to it.
10 – Aside from the mag, Mimi is also setting up web show on Konbini (the future generation of MTV) called Mimi’s Meal Ticket where she’ll be inviting musicians to cook her a meal and getting to know them better.
