...You shook the Kaleidoscope... and ended up here...

About Me

Words and proclamations cannot express or define, all that a human being is... I am a little different now and now and even now...

My Interests

All art realms thrill me. The photography on the "space"... are me, most styled and crafted by me.Create your own video at One True MediaI love working with both still and moving imagery. In front of and behind the camera. I am a film maker both producing and directing, as well as an actor.I style shoots and sets for my projects. I am a graceful, yet fearless, dancer with an improvisational flow peppered with incongruous "Kamikaze" style moves. I got kicked out of "Dancing School"... I need to, and do, dance in shows, any chance I get.I write screenplays, poetry, comedy... and have written a children's book, that once illustrated, will soon be published.I am trained in the Trapeze, so literally, if all else fails I CAN "join the circus", though I'm so flexible and tiny, Cirque du Soleil , would probably be more appropriate.________________________________________Painting s by Gustav Klimt are my favorite, the colorations, complex layering, and mood is perfection to me. I would love to own Klimtesque fabrics. My home always tonaly channels Klimt.Caravaggio is sexy, raw, earthy and real to me. His work reminds me of a Southern Italian Chicken Dish, my Grandmother used to make. It was so brightly orange, dense and heavy it could break the plate.And William Holbrook Beard's bizarre, fantasy bear dancing paintings are frighteningly wrong, and I love them...

I'd like to meet:

As you read this... I am one breath away from...NOW.

Music:

I really adore anything with a real orchestra, a lush piano, a violin that pulls my eyes to a wash of tears, a haunting baritone electric guitar like Roger Smith plays in The Cure, a jaunty flute that floats and lingers in the air like a hummingbird begging me to march aboard a tugboat, a smooth base that pulses under my bellybutton, a horn that stretches the corners of my mouth skyward, crunchy electronica that can reanimate a zombie corpse with it's infectious groove, And I am percussion incarnate...Artists I enjoy... Duran Duran,The Cure, John Coltrane, Billy Idol,Pixies, Bebel Gilberto,Earth Wind and Fire, Thelonious Monk,The Cars, Blondie, Elton John(70's),Tangerine Dream,Miles Davis,David Bowie,Pat Benatar, Chet Baker,Massive Attack,Rob Zombie,Frank Black,Vivaldi,Mendelssohn,E.L.O., Stones,Stan Getz,Sonny Rollins,Curtis Mayfield,The Sugar Cubes,Proppellerheads,Garbage,Keane, The The,Prodigy,Kenny Burrell,Mazzy Star,Etta James,Shirley Basey,Curve Morcheeba, Portishead, Goldfrapp, LCD soundsystem, Roisin Murphy,Damien Rice ... And the song in my heart... and Dizzy Gillespie (whom I had the joy of visiting in his home and watch play intimately on 2 occasions... Amazing!)
