About Me

I'm an oxymoron... a quiet, yet assertive soul; eclectic, adventurous, rebellious- timid and reserved... all at the same time. I'm a fashion designer and a stylist who's passionate and totally in-love with my craft. I'm bored with the realities of everyday life- so I design clothing that is somewhat surreal and theatrical. I'm interested in costume design for movies, theater, Operas, music videos and the like. I'm a dreamer who doesn't believe in boundaries. "I can't" are two words that don't exist in my vocabulary. I love chocolate, khalua cheesecake, the beach, the pitty pat of hot rain against a tin roof, and beautifully weird types of people. I hate grits, people who chew with their mouths open, poorly mannered children, and most of all- mediocrity. I love HARD... fight HARDER and one day I plan to change the world...This profile was edited with Space codes - Editor MySpace HELP Profile Help!

DAMN BABY... WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO MEAN?

QUESTION.

Besides the love of God, is there such a thing as "UNCONDITIONAL love"?I've always thought of relational love as something that is quite fragile and selfish in some ways... I love you because you make...
