I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round!!!

About Me

I am an American currently living in Italy, because I am married to, you guessed it, a very talented Italian! We are truly the Italian version of Lucy and Ricky and I usually have alot of "splanin' to do!"I am NOT a friend collector and often go through and delete folks lingering on my list. I know people don't really read this info, so IF you don't have something in common with me OR your band plays techno music OR your vintage online store sells crap from the 70's and 80's, I won't add you...simple as that...I enjoy being happy and pleasant and try to give everyone a chance before I am an ass. I have absolutely NO tolerance for anything or anyone annoying (unless it's me who is doing the annoying). I don't take myself seriously and avoid those who do. I enjoy and am a bit fascinated with the clothing, hair, shoes, cars, music, etc. of the 40's and 50's and that's what I choose to have involved in my life as much as possible, but God forbid, I do sometimes wear sweatpants and t-shirts around the house and rock out to Bon Jovi!!! Oh, the horror! I despise fake people who don't know they are the ones who are indeed fake. I get bored easily. I correct people who have bad grammar. I'm crafty. I'm originally from Maryland, but my heart belongs to the mid-west. My hubby and I will eventually move to Austin, Texas to start our honky-tonkin' lifestyle together. I used to shovel elephant shit for a living and loved it! Not much can gross me out, except human snot and vomit!!!! Both will indeed make me throw up immediately!!!!

My Interests

My 58 Fairlane 2dr HT, my cats Squeaks and Bogie, , travelling Europe, drinking beer with friends (or alone, whichever, it doesn't really matter) watching old movies, b & w vintage photography, painting vintage style pinups on anything and everything, 30's and 40's celluloid jewelry, obsessively collecting shoes from the 40's, vintage clothing and furniture, car shows, live rockabilly/honky tonk/old school country bands, Esther Williams and Carmen Miranda memorabilia, roadtrips, learning foreign languages albeit not so well.

I'd like to meet:

Esther Williams, Carmen Miranda, and someone who can actually create my ideas for 40's dresses and shoes into form. Oh, and the bitches who outbid me on my ebay auctions, so I can kick them in the asses and steal the damn shoes that should rightfully belong on MY feet! Oh, but most of all this handsome man on the dance floor......

Music:

Jerry Boogie on piano, Jump, Jive and Blues, RAY GELATO, Rockabilly, old school country (hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Hank Snow, Rose Maddox...), bluegrass, Sleepy LaBeef, Dwight Yoakam, Louis Jordan, Merrill Moore, Hank III, the Killer, Wildfire Willie, Charlie Thompson, Louis Prima, The Humdingers...the list goes on and on.....

Movies:

Esther Williams, Carmen Miranda, Fred and Ginger, and Rita Hayworth movies, The Rear Window, Cry Baby, American Graffitti, Great Balls of Fire, Thelma and Louise, Pirates of the Carribbean, Singin' in the Rain, Kid Creole, Kill Bill, Million Dollar Baby, Cinderella Man.

Television:

Books:

"Million Dollar Mermaid" about Esther Williams , the autobiography of Katherine Hepburn, which I found very dull, and "Man in Black" about, guess who, Johnny Cash.

Heroes:

My heroes have always been cowboys....and my mom and dad.... Jane Goodall...and anyone who sticks to their beliefs and style regardless of what the idiots around them are saying or doing! Be yourself!
