Musik, Practicing my stage/dance moves in the mirror for HOURS on end, Obsessing about my body and hair, NYC clubland, DJing, working the catwalk, vintage synthesizers, graffiti, handguns, hand grenades, shopping, deconstructing clothes and egos, bedazzling(a lost art form), Warhol, socializing, dancing, collecting records, veganism, alcoholic beverages!, singing, channeling the spirit of Jon Benet Ramsey, Mannequins, prosthetic body parts, techno-gadgets, body modification, skateboarding, Tompkins Square Park in the summer,Central park in the winter, the Chrysler bldg, Downtown culture-all things east village... Scally Boys, extreme plastic surgery, anything narcissistic and perverse, writing/recording music, My musical project - Overdose Couture. Being stared at...positive or negative attention...causing a reaction is like having an orgasm....I think I might cum just from you reading this...
YOU! or other partners in crime, sarcastic jerks, freaks, queers, dykes, trannies, ...and I wouldnt object to making new friends with rich, famous, talented, funny, sincere, or drop-dead gorgeous individuals
Music music music.....Hrmm....where to begin....anything cutting edge. Artists that don't compromise or conform to sell units or become radio friendly and fit in with the current musical climate.
I despise "bands" or "singers" created and nurtured by a label and told what to wear, what to sing. How to act and what to say- then packaged and shipped out to our stores and put on heavy rotation on so-called "music" television. That's disgusting. Taking the creativity out of the process to make money. What's worse is the millions of people buying into it. Meanwhile, real artists starve and struggle to get a record deal, or to get a gig because they refuse to be turned into the musical equivalent of children's breakfast cereal....
Onto more positive things.....like REAL MUSIC!!!! Currently I am into a lot of reggaeton and hip hop....who woulda guessed?! Love minimalist elektro, kooky french house. I Grew up on new wave (my first love!....) along with industrial, wax.trax, disko, synthpop, 4AD, punk, post-punk, oi!, hardcore, obscure british invasion stuff, funk, hardcore, breakbeat, 70s glam, old skool hip hop, britpop, various european dance music. German and Belgian techno, early EBM, Trip-hop, robo-pop, basically any synth based music....or anything with vocoding....except cher and similar! I love every type of music. From warm soul music to cold programmed beats...anything that makes your brain spin or your ass shake.....
There's nothing like finding that one track that gives u chills....I also love to spin records...ppl that strictly use cds or ipods are not djs in my opinion and there seems to be a lot of that nowadays. I pride myself on spinning real vinyl and feeling that high when u match the beats perfectly! Love record shopping. Nothing like finding a rare pressing in the bargain bin! I live for overlooked b-sides, promo only remixes, white labels, rare pressings.....
I am also a musician. Love to write and record music. If you are interested in collaborating, send me a message.
