Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

About Me

My name is Samantha. I first fell in love with David Bowie when I was about 6, soon to be followed by Roxy Music, Brian Eno, New York Dolls, et all. I sometimes make shadow boxes. I am a stunted artist; I know I have a calling, I am seeking it unsure of what it might be at the moment. I have always been in love with my melancholy. I am a badass Vidal Sassoon trained freelance hair designer, and I am always looking for more clients, so if you need your lovely locks done by someone with sound technical training who is also empathetic and creative, PLEASE do not hesitate to hit me up!!! I am very understanding of people's wants and needs; I can read Hair.
...I abide in Silverlake with my husband Kittykatbone who never ceases to amaze me and makes me incredibly happy. His love saved my soul. I can never talk shit about MySpace because we met on here(=GAY). We share a picturesque view of downtown in an apartment crammed with interesting clutter and questionable objects with 3 lovely adopted kitties. Chyna is the white one AND she is perfect, June aka "Flathead" is fucked-up, and the slinky black one Blackalicious is a sexy blackalicious jungle beast. They kick ass.
I hold dear everything I have ever experienced, good or bad or hellacious, because I am constantly evolving and learning(even if I sometimes make the same mistakes more than two or three times)...Every night when I fall asleep I think about how truly blessed I am to have seen and felt what I have, known who I've known, and how my love and I have found each other, truly something that only happens to one in a trillion people...
...I chased the dragons, they chased me, I am holding them at bay...My life may sometimes come in bottles, but at least it comes in colors. I am sick of working in retail sales. For more see my interests.

My Interests

I LOVE MY SOUL-MATE + HUSBAND MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE,we have a blast anywhere + everywhere we go, MY BELOVED AND INVALUABLE FRIENDS, OUR 3 BRAND-NEW CUTE LITTLE KITTYKATS, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JOY AND PLEASURE, going to shows, music, Ian Curtis dancing, SM, bondage, fetishism, KINK, Dressing for pleasure, art, reading, ADDICTION + SOBRIETY, medical anomalies, SHARING CLOTHING AND LINGERIE WITH MY HUSBAND, popsicles, gnosticism, things floating in murky jars, denying that I'm an emo fag, INDIAN FOOD, my albino Burmese python Ziggy(recently deceased, R.I.P.), my 800 pound step-cat Auggie(R.I.P., save us a place in kat heaven!), insects, bones bones bones(especially hip bones + sternums), scars(external and otherwise), ROOFTOPS(especially in the rain), androgyny, gender theory, seahorses, LONG TANGENTIAL CONVERSATIONS, bats are really cute, debauchery, black swans, shiny things, stockings + garters, walking with someone you love, mannequins, unagi, corsets, high heels(ESPECIALLY on boys), Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Egon Schiele, Joseph Cornell, German + Austrian Expressionism, addictive personalities, fucking, jewelry, pirate ships, skeleton keys, dressing up, Magic Realism, Francis Bacon, spending all day in bed with Lou("Wine in the morning and some breakfast at night"), contradictions, stalactites... loving mutually exclusive things...

I'd like to meet:

I'm a complete technophobe, and these new-fangled machines frighten and confuse me. Anyone who needs or wants to have a good haircut and/or color. I also create shadow boxes, and love meeting other artists of any and all kinds. ARTISTS!!! Pervs + fetishists, crossdressers, sexy Dommes. I am here to connect with people. I LOVE boys that wear makeup and high-heels, PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOOD MUSIC, misanthropes and scenesters, drunk losers + geniuses, addicts + alchoholics in recovery or not, good hip-bones(drooool). Why isn't there hip-bone porn??? Maybe there is. Fantasists and liars, BRILLIANT DYSFUNCTIONAL PEOPLE. I AM NOT HERE TO "HOOK UP", I am VERY happily married. . .My dance card is full! If I take awhile responding, I am either putting thought + care into a worthy response or am having trouble removing my head from my ass. I really truly appreciate/relate to genuine people with character who know the difference between giving time, spending it, and being spent by it. Truely special people are welcome, and if there's any more orphans who got stranded here when the Starship from the Muffin planet crashed... Please be in touch!!! We are trying to find you! By the way, NO MORE GODDAMN BANDS, PLEASE---I love to support local artists, but I'm broke + I DON'T HAVE SOUND ON THE COMPUTER, SO I CAN'T HEAR YOU...No offense, but DAMN...I have reached my quota.
IF YOUR PROFILE IS SET TO PRIVATE, THEN FUCK YOU TOO.
Have a Blessed day.
