Runs with Scissors---Plays with Zippers

About Me

I design and sew one-of-a-kind, couture costumes for friends that party, go to festivals, like to dance, perform, or just wander the streets looking like a super hero. Either way, take a look at some of my latest creations to get an idea of the direction I'm heading with my sewing art and hit me up if you think I'd be good at capturing the character you want to be.http://picasaweb.google.com/lotusluxuries/LotusLuxuriesMy website is being developed and store front opening July.I'm a free-spirited adventurist that has had a wide variety of life experience. I adapt to change well, enjoy meeting lots of people, cherish my amazing community of friends that add meaning and keep it so interesting. Dancing to a wicked beat is necessary for my sanity, and I'm allergic to clothing, but somehow don't mind wearing costumes. I wish love for everyone and remember: "Life's short. You only live once in this lifetime. So, don't regret the things you have done, only the things you haven't done yet. And, don't do anything that I wouldn't do twice." Peace! Now, back away from your computer and go outside and play---NOW. Party on!....
