About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I am an... Artist... Sister... Designer... Music Lover... World Traveler... Undercover Singer... Lover of Exercise/Working out... Healthy Soul Food Vegetarian Cook... and a happy, friendly, fun-loving female!I was born in Tennessee in a car going down the side of a mountain! I moved to Texas in first grade to a horrible small town. As soon as I possibly could, I got tha hell outta there, moved to Austin, and attended University of Texas for fashion design. I have two Chihuahuas (my only babies and my best friends). I love to travel, especially to any country outside of the U.S. I just recently returned from China, where I was teaching English at this camp for 3 months. Going to underground hiphop shows is a huge part of my life. Electronic music is a love as well (yes, I admit, I used to be a raver-glowsticks and all!) I stilll carry with me the love of house music, but I prefer deep house now. Since I was young, I've always loved to read. Music is one of my greatest passions, listening to it and singing backup vocals for deep house and underground hiphop. Hmmm..what else? Cooking- I can cook like yo grandma...! I design clothing. I enjoy creating cool outfits- I think of fashion as wearable art, and express myself as such. I like to break up the monotony of life with many different types of people and experiences. I feel that it's very important to get out of the states and travel, especially as an American. So many of us don't ever leave the states to experience other cultures, and see the humility and sense of family and giving that they offer. We take alot for granted. For these reasons, I wanted to educate myself through real-life travel experiences and see more of the world. I've traveled outside of the states to: China, Thailand, Singarpore, France, Japan, Indonesia, and Finland so far, and plan to see many more countries before the end of my life!
