[edit] Biography
Lovefoxxx was born in Campinas, Brazil. She is of German, Portuguese and Japanese descent.[1] Since the year 2000, at the age of 16, Lovefoxxx has been an illustrator and fashion design assistant. However, in recent years, she has abandoned this profession to better dedicate herself to her music career. Lovefoxxx has said that the words of her father have inspired her career choices directing her to choose a path that made her happy, and stating it was not worth doing if it stopped being something she enjoyed. She has said that this, as well, lead to her leaving the fashion industry as she felt that too many people were exceptionally "mean", without delving into details.[citation needed]
She has said that the name Lovefoxxx was an adaptation of her porn star name. She received the name "Linda Love Fox" which she adapted into her current stage name [2].
[edit] Personal life
Lovefoxxx is currently dating Simon Taylor-Davies of Klaxons, according to an interview with ELLE UK they have been together since the second day of the NME Indie Rave tour, where their bands were billed together. According to Simon he first saw Luisa in a CSS video on television and sent her a "flirty myspace message before they had met[3]. On 21 September 2007, it was revealed that the two were engaged to be married[4], with Lovefoxxx later saying that they would be married in the winter of that year. Though no news has been officially released of a wedding since, Simon later said that they had no definite plans, though they had married "in cyberspace" through Skype[5]
In June 2007, during the Cansei de Ser Sexy tour of North America, Lovefoxxx had Simon's name tattooed on her right hip.[6]
In 2006, Lovefoxxx was voted #10 in NME's annual Cool List.[7]. In 2007, Lovefoxxx was voted #3, only to be beaten out by her fiancée's bandmate Jamie Reynolds, who came in second, and winner Frank Carter of Gallows.[8]
In May 2008, Lovefoxxx stamped the cover from RG Vogue magazine.[9]
Lovefoxxx does not have an official or public account on either Twitter or Myspace - and she has vocalized her distaste for falsified accounts representing her via the official CSS blogspot [10].
