GLAD ALL OVER .... !

About Me

Now lemme tell you 'what is' - livin' and lovin' life! I possess a heart of platinum, a streamlined environment, stylish habits and am particularly interested in meeting like individuals with creative verve who love tiki, art, design, MUSIC and animals. I am very physically active with a mighty "luv." i.e.: I am a romantic gal who has a lot of *schmoosh* in my heart (or is that a "mighty boosh" in my heart?) I still have that happy-go-lucky "kid" part of me going strong. I don't hold back and neither should you. Red lipstick, beauty mark, look at those shoes (!), skullduggery, tales from the crypt and an eye for detail. I am, at long last, honest and loving and loyal as all get-up . I can jaw. I have true blue people in my life - charlatans and shitters of bull, stay away. I defend and love my friends 'til the end. Monsters live under my bed, the t.v. is always on in my head (with an amazing soundtrack) & a smile is usually upon my face, altho sometimes there may be a tear or two (ok, three) in my eyes. Be my co-pilot and take a spin down the Big Highway with me, onto the next adventure. There is always something to do, something to see, and somewhere to go. Are you up for it? I think you are ... Risk takers might not live long, but the cautious never live at all. "Life is short, and filled with stuff. Don't know what for, ain't had enough..."(a tip of the wighat to Lux,) Oh - one more thing: Sono una buona ragazza che mantiene il suo naso pulito, lei di nuovo alla parete e conservazioni i vostri segreti vicino alla sua cassa." I am the best Muse you could ever want.

I'd like to meet:

You are the adventures of a lifetime - like a champagne bottle...*pop*, *pop*, *POP!* Are you passionate about life? Do you have compassion, respect for yourself and for others ((& that includes animals)) and possess a decent soul? (or at least have a soul for that matter?) Do you love honestly and fearlessly? Do you come with style and flair and know what you want? Are you straight up and true blue? What I mean is, action matters, talk is cheapy cheap. Skeevy folks - keep crawling, and what I mean by skeevy are those who don't do what they say nor say what they mean. Dishonest folks need not apply; lying is not an art form (and believe me, I've learned that the hard way.) Be long and lean and ready to roll. Let's do and see and go, man, go! Stay alert and active - no slugs and no lugs. Don't keep it in - spill it - communication is the key. Laugh a lot, have a few good anecdotes and accolades. If you make me laugh, there's a good chance we could get into trouble to last a lifetime. Feed your brain & treat your body. Be sweet and offer me Ratfink charm and a Frankenstein heart and I will make it worth your while. Be a "work of art" and not a "piece of work". If you are into globe trotting, oceans, surf and polynesian tiki delites, museums and galleries, movie theater and live theater, mid-century architecture, thrift scores and live MUSIC!, carnies and sideshows, hot rocks and cold cocktails, tripping the light fantastic, art and science and body parts, playing outside and road trips ... in other words, everything ... then you're a 'go.' Rest and recharge, tell me your secrets and desires... but you can SLEEP when you're dead. Side note: I am a sucker for accents, dialects and drawls ....
