The Toast of Mayfair, The Switchblade Sweetheart, The Domestic Goddess

About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

I am Karla, AKA Karlaboo, AKA The Switchblade Sweetheart. "The Switchblade Sweetheart" is my stage name, "Karlaboo" has been my screen name for umpteen years(seems like), and "Karla" is....well....me.

I am a wife, mother, Burly-Q performer(that's Burlesque to you non show folk), occasional crafty/weird hair person, always Domestic Goddess(does that mean I'm a good, wittle housewife? Hell No!), Kisser of Boo Boos, cat lover, and Brand New MySpace-ialite.

Seriously, I didn't want to do this. *sigh*

BTW, there is a strong possibility that I won't add you if I don't know you. Also, please do not post nudie or horror styled comments. They will be deleted. I've got family on here, yo.

My Interests

I love being with my little family, getting to see my friends, going out on occasion. I read a lot, do art projects with my children quite often, and don't do the laundry nearly as much as I should. I'm awesome at shopping, but terrible at actually spending money(I'm a miser). I used to aspire to be a spinster, with lots of cats, and bitch about how my child never calls me. However, I got married, so that ruined my plan. :)

I'd like to meet:

Current friends, old friends, maybe some new friends, some(not all) members of my family, fans of White Lightnin' Burlesque.

Old Lovers? Meh. We'll see depending on who you are.

Music:

I like a wide range of music. Some days you can catch me listening to blues or jazz from the 20's and 30's, other days I'll be listening to 80's skate rock. I like old punk, new and newer wave, and spooky Appalachian murder ballads. Ask me to listen to it, I just might like it.

Movies:

Terrible, early 80's SciFi and fantasy(The Sword and The Sorcerer, Krull, etc). The Three L's: Labyrinth, Legend, and Ladyhawke. I love period films(go ahead, laugh) like All of the Jane Austen books to film, old and new versions. A Room with a View, Howard's End, The Cat's Meow, Bright Young Things, Little Women, The Age of Innocence, The Wings of a Dove. We do watch a lot of Children/Family films at my house, and we love Harry Potter movies, Nanny McPhee(Colin Firth, HOT, HOT), The Incredibles, etc. I also love old movies like The Red Shoes, Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast, any Fred Astaire film, the original Wuthering Heights(Lawrence Olivier, HOT, HOT).

Television:

I am ADDICTED to Heroes. ADDICTED.Anthony Bourdain is my secret boyfriend, he just doesn't know it. His show on the Travel Channel is sublime.I was a Buffy girl, and I really missed it. Hex on the BBC is helping with that, but there isn't much left. Thank Goodness for Firefly on DVD, and it's counterpart movie Serenity.

Books:

I love books. I aspire to one day have a gorgeous, spooky parlour/library. I really like the classics, and SciFi/Fantasy novels. Our public bookshelves look nice, but my treasures are on shelves in my bedroom, well worn, spines broken, and quite a few are taped in spots. Those are the ones I can read over and over and never get tired of them.

Heroes:

My parents, my husband, my sweet little family, the ladies I perform with, and cocoa bean farmers. :D

Wallowing in the being-a-girl-of-it-all

My armband and perfumes arrived the same day. You can see it on my LJ here:http://karlaboo.livejournal.com/183664.html?nc=3:)That helped with the major anxiety I was feeling all day. I think I was jus...
