About Me


Obsessed with costume, the arts, intellect and all things outré. Graduated from the London College Of Fashion in the UK, with a BA in Costume Design. Has done costumes for independent film and theatre as well as styling and wardrobe for various other things.
Also attended the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto and has dabbled in directing, writing, performance, metal works, sculpture installation or anything she could immix with fabrics.
Always thought she should have been an Albino, hoping she'll at least be a white haired old lady. Doesn't like to stay in any one place for too long. Can be a designer whore, cause contrary to popular belief she doesn't have the time to sit around making herself cool stuff all day. Extremely distressed about the trend for Chinchilla fur....so many tiny lives wasted so you can wipe your ass with something soft.
I only ever update my facebook, so if we're friends find me there. Stay Tuned, an Exclusive Line of Couture Millinery (that means hats kids) Is In The Works!!
web site coming soon, in the meantime...
Dance monkey face, Dance!!!
