~My name is Elizabeth Renee, but you can call me Elli. ~ I'm 23 years young. ~I have traditional values and beliefs, and am sometimes considered to be very stubborn because of it. Love it or leave it because I refuse to change for anyone but myself. ~People sometimes tell me I am too emotional, but you know what I say to that? GOOD! What's life without emotion??? ~My biological mother passed away when I was 17 months old, but she is my guardian angel! ~I have an older brother, David, who is 7-8 years older than me. He is my inspiration, my motivator, and my hero. ~He has a wife, Joy, whom I'm very thankful came into our lives. They have three sons together and one baby girl; Samuel (10), Nathaniel (7), Luke (3), and Molly (15 months). Four beautiful bursts of energy and I'd give anything for them! ~I graduated from the International Academy of Design and Technology-Detroit in Troy (IADT) in 2007. ~I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, in Fashion Design. ~I recently moved to Los Angeles all the way from a small town in Michigan, leaving everything and everyone I know, in hopes at starting my career in the fashion industry. ~I still don't know yet if I want to be a fashion forecaster, fashion designer, fashion photographer, or maybe even something else in the fashion field. I'm still trying to figure that out. ~I am a big fan of sports cars. My favorite is the McLaren F1 LM. ~I love crotch rockets and want one of my own one day. I have my license, now all I need is a bike.
~I love to watch hockey (I'll always be a Detroit Red Wings fan no matter where I'm living) and I also love playing tennis. ~I listen to rock, punk, ska, pop, hip-hop, alternative, rap, DNB, country, and most recently latino music. ~I don't have a favorite band, but if I had to pick I'd have to say either Trapt, 3 Days Grace, or Sugarcult. ~I LOVE to dance when no one is looking. ~I can be both a girlie girl, or just one of the guys. ~The most important things in life to me are: faith, family, friendship, health, hope, knowledge/education, love, mental strength, self-esteem/confidence, values/morales, and most importantly YOURSELF. ~Nothing is worth compromising any of these things for.
~For those who grew up in Cali and think that you know what it takes to make it big, and think you are better than everyone else just because you have lived here your whole life... GET OVER YOURSELVES!~For those of you back home who said I can't do it... Watch Me Shine!..
