About Me

I grew up in Central California, near Santa Barbara. My father is a musician, my mother an artist, and my brother is an amazing musician and fairly accomplished artist as well. It's no surprise that I love art and music. I love anything creative... I'm a Jill-of-all-trades, dabbling in painting (mostly watercolor, but I'd like to learn oils and acrylic), acting (I've done some stage acting but, when it comes to film, I'd prefer to be behind-the-scenes), singing (not professionally, but my best friend and I've been kicking around the idea of forming a band so, who knows?), dancing (I really wanna learn to swing!), photography (I've taken a few b&w classes and my plan for a dream home includes a dark room), writing (I don't think I have the patience for a novel or screen play, but I write press releases at work, and occasionally put down the lyrics that run through my head), jewelry (mostly with beads and wires, but I'd love to learn how to make molds now that I know some casters in the Jewelry District), knitting/crochet (a few friends got handmade scarfs last xmas, maybe I'll tackle sweaters this year?)... basically, if it's creative or artistic in any way, I've either tried it or want to. I'm trying to become a costume designer for film/tv and, if that happens, I'd eventually like to expand within the art department and learn hair, makeup, and special effects as well... although I'm not sure how to swing that within union regulations...? I'm currently working for a jewelry designer: I do her marketing; string pearls and hand-wire; deal with the casters and stone-setters downtown; and, occaisionally, I work for her photographer-husband. I work six days a week so, I don't have a whole lot of free time but, believe me, I still make time for fun! What Color Are You?
Yellows are motivated by fun. They are inviting and embrace life as a party which they're hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable and persuasive. They seek instant gratification. YELLOWS need to be adored and praised. While YELLOWS are carefree, they are quite sensitive and highly alert to others motives to control them. YELLOWS carry within themselves the gift of a good heart. YELLOWS need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. YELLOWS are happy, highly verbal, easily bored, and crave adventure. They can never sit still for long. They choose friends who, like themselves, refuse to allow lifes boring details stifle their curiosity. They embrace each day in the present tense. YELLOWS are charismatic, spontaneous, positive, and can be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When you deal with a YELLOW praise and adore them, take a positive, upbeat approach, and promote creative and fun activities for and with them.

My Interests

MUSIC, movies, comedy, karaoke, guys in eyeliner, sushi, the beach, singing along with the radio, dancing around naked in my living room, reading... and I have a rather unhealthy obsession with the LA Times crossword :-)
Do intelligent people with a great sense of humor count as a General Interest?

I'd like to meet:

Creative people who like to have fun, enjoy art and music, and care about others. If you're shallow and don't have a sense of humor, don't bother.Anyone who can help me get a wardrobe / costume design gig.Also, if anyone can hook me up with a barback / bartender or good server job in the Hollywood area, I'd like to meet you. :-)As far as celebrities go... Angelina Jolie, Brendan Fraser, Natalie Portman, Billy Zane, Drew Barrymore, Mike Meyers, John Cleese, Tim Curry, John Lennon (if only he were still alive), and Eddie Izzard! :-)
