My Interests

To be concise: I have a hungry mind. I'm interested in learning more about anything and everything. Current topics of interest include: surfing; developing a small business; laughing 'till I cry; making other people laugh; gourmet cooking; shoes; contemplating why some people stereotype pretty, shoe-loving women as unintelligent; reminding women that it's alright to relish the innate beauty in each of us with confidence and class; martinis, wine and tapas with my favorite people; pitchers of beer and pounds of wings with my favorite people; human behaviour; pondering the meaning of life; pondering what to wear tomorrow; examining the concepts of design, beauty and the relationship between the two; deciding when I should make my debut as an international celebrity... I'm HERE!...

I'd like to meet:

I always enjoy meeting new people. The few people I choose to connect with on a more substantial level will usually own one or more of the following gifts: exceptional creativity; startling wit; quirky style; humble honesty; a kind soul; a generous heart; passion for life; surfing tips to share:) ; an insane sense of humour. If you pique my interest with your talent, humour or creativity, I'll add you to my favorites for a while to share your gifts with anyone who may see my profile. /style

Music:

There's nothing like some deep house music to take my mind on vacation. I love anything with a sexy bassline that makes me wanna shake it. I also enjoy some of the classics: original INXS, Sheryl Crow, David Bowie, Prince, I could go on and on. My tastes are very diverse, so it's difficult to only list a few. Currently, my favorite group is the Brazilian Girls.

Movies:

This is a list I won't even begin to recite. I'm a self-proclaimed movie-buff and would have a difficult time restricting the best to just a few titles...

Heroes:

women of strength, grace, compassion, humour and intelligence
