Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.

About Me

I'm a Graphic/Technical Apparel designer. I like the color red. I have to eat chocolate every day. I have a new nephew named Wilson who likes to hump my leg. I'll dance to anything.. I love wienerdogs/dachshunds/teckels. I was raised in Puerto Rico, lived in NYC for many years, and now I live in Barcelona, Spain. I need to be doing something constantly. I like to do new things often and lately I have an itch......

My Interests

Rock and Roll, Jose Antonio Risquez Rodriguez, Wienerdogs, Weird Cinema, Design (Industrial, Graphic, Fashion, and Packaging),Traveling the world with my boyfriend and making few but amazing lifelong friends, trying new restaurants and new foods, vintage fashion, cooking,and reading novels.

I'd like to meet:

My ancestors (I have an interesting family history. Doesnt everyone who comes from a colony?), John Waters (because I just love his humor, style, and taste in music), and Little Richard

Music:

I love rock and roll,(especially 50..s 60..s) music, because it makes me want to dance and have a good time. There is nothing like the raw wild passion of good old RnR, especially if it's wild, fast, and black!! I am not closed minded though. I can basically listen to anything. It depends on my mood. I love old Salsa and Jose Feliciano. If I..m feelin Newyorican I can listen to Mark Anthony. If I need to concentrate I..ll listen to Elliot Smith. If I..m sad I..ll listen to Morrissey. If I am feeling nostalgic for my childhood I..ll sing Puerto Rican christmas songs or Menudo. If I miss NYC I..ll bust out some hip hop. I rather enjoy the ridiculous lyrics to Reggaeton. Hit me up with anything. I am open.

Movies:

The weirder the better!! John Waters, Jadorowski (Holy Mountain is the best!!), Russ Meyer, B movies etc. I..m also a sucker for artsy films and foreign cinema. I love Como Agua Para Chocolate, Cinema Paradiso, Everthing From Jean Piere Jeunet( City of Lost Children, Amelie, etc), older Almodovar films, Lucia y el Sexo, The Secretary, and I hate to admit it but It..s a Wonderful Life always makes me cry.

Television:

Desperate Housewives and Lost in Spanish. I dont have many choices here so I read more than I watch TV.

Books:

Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, Oscar Wildes short stories, Michael Moore, Alexander Mcall Smith, Penultimo sueño by Angela Bercera, La Sombra de el Viento by Carlos Ruiz Safon, etc., etc.

Heroes:

My mother because she is the most wonderful person I know. She has been the best example to follow growing up. My grandfather because he is the strongest man I have ever met. My Wienerdog Capi, because he lived to be 18 years old and there was not a day in his life that he wasnt happy. That is a way to live!!!
