About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Check out my blog and my bar column for the Chicago Reader !
Daughter of Oxum. Bubble bath enthusiastic. Lady Vagabond. Switch bitch. Starving artist. Scandalous Ho. Lazy capoeirista. Androgynist. Cupcake Connoisseur.
I have quite possibly the coolest day jobs ever- one lets me play at the park during daylight hours and watch trashy cable TV and take naps, the other pays me to get drunk at bars and VIP parties and write about it. I'm a lucky girl. It's been a while since I've had health insurance or a paid holiday but the quality of life is worth it.
I am a novelist, blogger , freelance writer, and translator of Japanese. I have written two novels, Star of Persia (a post-queer love story), and Mono No Aware, a samurai punk homo romantic futuristic epic which I am currently shopping to publishers. I am also planning an anthology of writings by girl fags and guy dykes. You can check out some of my short stories in print here or here .
My favorite flowers are roses, camellias, lavender and violets; my favorite teas are Star of Persia, Russian Caravan and Earl Grey with Lavender; my favorite colors are pink, black, lavender and silver.
I have a bad habit of pouting in photos but I smile a lot in real life.
I am a platinum blonde high femme new wave fagette . I am a Taurus with Sagittarius rising and moon in Leo. I enjoy the sensual and the decadent. I believe that life should be a luxurious adventure.
I am sort of obsessive compulsive about housework and the domestic arts but I'm also kind of a slob. I've been told that my interior decorating style is crazy vulvic, like the rooms I live in are flagrant vagina parlors full of pink drapy fabrics and such.
I tend to reorganize my top friends a lot with the except of a few people, so don't feel rejected if I bump you. I try to give various folks face time.
I have been told that whenever I'm around the conversation turns to sex. Either you think that's cool or it makes you uncomfortable. Preferably the former. You've been warned, at any rate.

My Interests

I want one of these:

I also enjoy drinking tea, coffee and red wine, the scent of fresh lavender, organic fruit, embroidery, sleeping, queer lit, the secret beauty of the flyover states, high thread count pillow cases, wearing/sewing/collecting kimono, hanging out at Polish Bars, dancing at Neo, tarot, yoga, baklava, santeria, riding my bike, music on vinyl (esp. old school goth!), cabaret, playing capoeira, bd/sm, reading and writing intellectual smut, and high end bath products.

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't afraid to cuss a bitch out or beat a bitch down when the occasion truly calls for it.

Astrology nerds who want to compare charts.
People who don't use "freespiritedness" as an excuse to be a dick.

Uncut boys with dark skin and light eyes in search of their albino loveslave.People who are into cheese flights, wines and expensive chocolate without being unbearably pretentious.If you are a strange dude and you're thinking about sending me a message asking if I want to bone, save yourself the trouble because the answer is no, unless you're Niggarochii in which case you already know the answer is yes yes yes!
