About Me


I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!Yeah! I gave him THAT sign in Chicago-Little ole' me-married mom of two- St. John's U '06 graduate, Shayneequa and DCCC student Ziggy - both absolutely gorgeous if I do say so myself!(check out my pics) Wed to my college crush, John (long story behind that one!) I'm a NEW/OLD Billy fan- that is - I liked him in the 80's but then marriage, babies, life(and deaths) consumed my time. Suddenly in late '04 I wondered quite serendipitously "What ever happened to Billy Idol...???" and BAM I got sucked into www.billyidol.com and haven't logged off since (just about) My new-found idolatry coincided with his new CD release and a tour in '05. Popped my Idol cherry at the Beacon Theatre in NYC, did the Borgata in AC,NJ then Fashion Rocks in NYC (where I imbibed a little too much, too quickly and couldn't bring myself to "grab" Billy as he strolled right by my aisle-although my daughter did run after him shouting "Billy, Billy look at my Mom!- I kid you not), HOB in AC,NJ then my Meet & Greet in just about my hometown Poughkeepsie, NY. While there is NO photographic evidence of the 2 signs I gave him then (Fantasizing about F'n BFI right now & You make me wanna commit IDOL-tery) I got him to autograph my leg and draw his caricature and it was a permanent fixture by 6PM the next day! I even managed to win his blanket at the IDOL party raffle in Nov '05. Crazy year. Then I flew to Chicago to see his Congress Theatre show this July '06 - met my wonderful Discussion Board friends and thensome, sweated sweat, sweat, sweat and gave him THAT sign...I ALREADY have my next sign waiting...So, Billy -when are YOU coming?

My Interests

I collect Crucifixes, Crosses (see My Pics), Rosaries and other Catholic art and items. I volunteer at my Church. I am interested in animal care & welfare (I used to work at the Bronx Zoo as a teen)(and I was a Veterinary Technician at a private practice after college)On & off vegetarian since '75 (just seafood no dead mammals or birds!)-Currently tryin' to go vegan! I NEVER wear fur or leather !(However, Billy- you look wonderful in the latter, dear) I collect candy related items especially red and white peppermint themed, to matched my "other" tattoo! About tattoos-I do plan on getting a few more...(A StF silhouette, a poppy 4 my dad, and an interlocking NY 'coz...)I love the 26 time World Champion NY Yankees - I was in the bleachers on my first date during the '77 World Series-ending Reg-gie 3 HR game!(Hey born & bred Bronx girl here). My husband & I own an HVACR business since '87. Of course I like shopping, vacationing at our Seaside Park & St. Pete homes, island hopping (see below...my Caribbean King approves)going to concerts, BROADway shows, NYC, learning new things, fulfilling my list of things to do...

I'd like to meet:

Susan Saint James, while she may not be the same person she was in the 70's -she strongly influenced me back then to be the person I am today (if that makes any sense!?!), David Cassidy - what can I say? My first love - got an autograph a couple of times but that just wasn't enough! He was responsible for all the boys hating me in school (they were just jealous) I wonder if he could doodle his sig and shag for me on my other leg? I'd get that inked too! Then maybe "my future son-in law" Derek Jeter- great person -who wouldn't want their daughter to marry him! Finally- I'd like another go at Mr. Idol -I have a few more unanswered questions I'd like to wing his way! And maybe he could sing me a few more bars of the song below...
