About Me

My passion has always been bringing something to life…via photography, designs, art, life, people, and so much more. I’m Chicago grown, world raised, with a BA in Sociology and Arts among my creds. It’s an accomplishment, but definitely not my passion. I’ve worked in several rewarding fields that together have given me the experience I need to launch my own venture. Here’s my story:I started doing photography for Luxury Motors Inc/Bentley Motors and handling all their internet photos and ads. It was a great opportunity and good experience, but I wanted to move closer to my life passion…I found it, in part, in a change of atmosphere. LA! I moved to Los Angeles to venture out, and soon became personal assistant to Evan Seinfeld (Biohazard, OZ, Supergroup). I organized musical events and business relations for him. I also started getting inside the world of professional photography. I met photographer Carrie Leigh while doing some modeling. Her sense of the art filled me with awe.I eventually moved back to Chicago, where I had the opportunity to assist one of the most amazing photographers of our time...David Anthony. This man inspired me to draw out my inner talent. When he handed me a camera, it was like taking pictures for the first time. I grew from snapping shots, to expressing my vision through photographic images...sharing what I see with the world. In addition to shooting, I’ve been drawn to design. A girlfriend and I love legwarmers and decided to create some edge, artsy, rock legwarmer fashion. We call the new company Bootlegher.
My advice to everyone is be true to your passion. You feed it once and now it’s dead.
Im your pretty much average villianess with a bigger heart than you can fatham. Things I am a firm believer on.... *If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you dont have it, no matter what else there is, its not enough. You can tell alot just by looking into someones eyes, being they are the window to the soul. *Playing games wastes time and energy.... Loyalty and Trust is the basis for any relationship.. Chemistry ties. Second chances-are essential being we live in an imperfect world Suffer....it makes us grow. Never act outside of your element to be someone or something your not..true colors will shine through. *Life is simple...be confused...be intrigued...be hurt..be happy...be real and not know the answers and love it. Be confused but not always indecisive. Indecisiveness isnt healthy in any adult relationship...Choose something and follow it through. Love is not commitment, I see people in committed relationships that clearly are not in love. *DONT JUST LISTEN TO WHAT SOMEONE IS SAYING. LISTEN TO WHY THEY ARE SAYING IT. *Trust in God but lock your car. I hate being "stuck"...dont give me run on stories about money, cars, bitches, the gym, ahem whateva..I enjoy meeting similar people. People that dream big without distractions and that always have something to teach with the willingness and DISCIPLINE to be taught. I've been told repetitively that discipline is what shines through me mostly. One day taking my education in the medical field and reaching out to those over seas that are in a need for aid is a goal of mine. Aside from that I yearn to be in a country where I completely dont understand anything and am out of my element. To me this is living.Im talking Philosophy, Psychology, Music..anything with.. Laws of attraction, synchronicity, astrology, anagrams, encryption, mysteries, aura, psychometry, clairvoyance, secret societies, fate, faith, love, seduction, romance, American Psycho business card showdowns, Karma, death, our wonderful leader..ha. Not interested in many sports...sooooorrrryyy...I respect it but will fall asleep. Is sliding down a flight of stairs in a sleeping bag with a wall as a breaker a sport?? If so then that. Though dig watching Skateboarding, surfing and soccer on occassion.

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

David LachapelleAs I have never idolized someone or something, I will say that talent nowadays is extremely disappointing. True talent such as Tori Amos would go unrecognized and saturated instead with the Emo crowd. I have fallen into some of the so called sellout rock.. Though, music lately sounds similar and is mostly catered to a certain crowd. The stream of individuality has diminished and meshing in is just an easier sell. I can no longer tell the difference from one band to another, unless pure talent is the force long ago. Aside from the pure raw talent, girls displayed throughout mainstream media today rely on their looks and what sells and not on their soul. Period.Far to often our society confuses or gets brainwashed into a new realm of" it="" in="" as="" am=""> Weve got to convince our egos and our minds that if we want to live happy lives, love is more important than anything else! --Ken Keyes Rules to live by. 1) Once you cheat the bond is broken and will never be the same 2) If something can not hurt you, you will never be capable of loving it 3) If you tell the truth you wont have to remember anything 4) If your half naked on myspace then you deserve the attention you receive 5) if your a man picking up the women on myspace then your desperate and powerless. 6) Have faith and look for the signs in fate "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle "One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. That word is love." - Sophocles "To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead." Bertrand Russel“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You dont try to forget the mistakes, but you dont dwell on it. You dont let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.” - Johnny Cash I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody is going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so theyre missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. Its just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going. Well, now I need that drug to get back there again; The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.- Maynard James Keenan, In Drugs Obsessed currently with... Moody Melodies, Violins, and Vampires.
