[Opinions] Re: Cleopatra
I don't think it would work. The only reference anyone's likely to have aside from *the* Cleopatra is the seventies "blaxploitation" movie "Cleopatra Jones; seems the movie writers probably already knew the name was campy and implausible and used it on purpose.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

possibly ...Other blaxploitation heroines of the time were named Foxy Brown and Coffy.
They were kind of pouring it on heavy. :)
I am especially glad that Coffy never caught on.
