I'm a teacher and I freelance as a fashion writer and blogger. I love art, music, fashion (of course). I am a bit of a spitfire and passionate about the web. I am also a business owner:I love people watching and going to shows, although right now I'm nesting a bit. I love my husband. Hee hee. I said husband.

My Interests

Thrifting,vintage, fashion, style, collecting vintage purses and other girly things, chatting with friends, collecting and selling vintage clothing::www.debutanteclothing.com, live shows, dancing, mid century design and art, punk rock bowling tournaments, low brow art, pin ups, web design, blogging, glossy magazines with pretty and arresting pics, business

I'd like to meet:

People who are creative and smart. People doing their own thing, and especially entrepreneurs. Get paid!

I am pretty open to any kind of music. I am not a genre or subculture snob. I love rockabilly, punk, psychobilly, jazz, blues, jump blues, 80's dance, big band, lounge, exotica, banda, corridas, country. If I can dance or drink to it, I'm all over it.

Historical fiction, foreign, anything starring John Cusak.

Television:

LOST, LOST, LOST! ugly Betty, Style Network (when I had cable), makeover shows, Grey's Anatomy

Books:

As an English teacher, I wish I could say I read novels voraciously, but I love how-to and self help the best. Trashy auto- and biographies.

Heroes:

entrepreneurs, Jen Hanen aka Black Phoebe because she moved to Ireland to continue her education, designers, teachers (the hardest freaking job in the world)
