About Me

"Everything that is not Love falls away." - Karla *********I rarely update here - I am mostly on LiveJournal.I am a writer, an activist, a body-worker, a womanist, comfortable with conflict and transition.I love who I love based on who the person is inside, and not their gender.I am a civil rights activist, and that includes ALL civil rights, including GLBT rights.Yes, I am the proud possessor of an infamous Triple Nipple - (and I would have been burned in the olden days) - my other two are pierced.I'm a travel-holic, Atlanta resident, and proprietrix of RetroHaven(tm), where I entertain guests from all over the globe.
I'm also known as Karlita on LiveJournal, Hurricane Karla from my days as a DJ on the radio, and The Manifestress for many reasons. I'm a feisty red-headed bitch, and Kel's woman.*Unlike most people, I actually know the majority of my MySpace Friends in real life.*.. -- -- Code for Plan B.
