things I make:
corsetry, nail polish, ribbons, sequins, pvc, backpacks to put parrots in, black webbing, white webbing, reflective material, sewing little bits of things to bigger bits of things, using powertools, drawing on things with sharpie markers
free thinkers, art-tastic types, creative spirits, people with ridiculous hair colors, 19th century lit lovers, parrot-people, *fabulous* people... (and more practically speaking: photographers, models, stylists in the nyc area)
people who make ridiculous drawings late at night when their neighbor's dog won't stop barking.
as a side note, here's some ridiculous drawings of mine too... my latest obsession is with putting these sorts of drawings ONTO clothing...
oh wait. I already know him. (bird-lo photo by the amazing super-talented michael wood

ah, music. I'm a cyber-tastic clubby kinda kid, so I love all the stompy/bouncy bands you can name. some favorites of the moment in no particular order: lab 4, combichrist, vnv, apop, neuroticfish, rob zombie, rammstein, project pitchfork, birthday massacre, rottersand, grendel, covenant...
things with gore, violence, drugs, sex, guns, and nice clothing, and there absolutely MUST be zombies... though, if there's gore involved, I don't mind so much if the clothing's not great... if you try and show me a romantic comedy, chances are, I WILL stab my eye out with a fork. or maybe YOUR eye. or maybe riley will pluck it from your skull with a happy chirrup. guess that depends on *his* mood.
