About Me

Squint your eyes and look closer. Am I between you and your ambition? I am a poster girl with no poster. I am 32 flavors and then some and I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might wanna turn your head...cos some day you might find you are starving and eating all of the words you said. Ani Di Franco. Amen Sista! : )..............listen to Emma Jane's Monkey Mind,my band, the songs tell the story better than I can... www.myspace.com/emmajanesmonkeymind
