About Me

Not cliche. Big sweet tooth. This past Halloween I went as Miss Teen South Carolina (with the speech memorized word-for-word). Last year I went as "RIGHTWING".....very scaaaaary. I like to spend time on the driving range and on the dance floor. Got my Masters in Arts Management and am spending my time choreographing junk, great junk. "Modern dance is not less; modern dance is more. It's everything that came before it, plus." Twyla Tharp. Spent 2001-2003 in London working with young Muslim gangstas. Love traveling. Cool as beans. Torsos rock my little world. OBAMA 08! I enjoy my bears, pistons, wolverines, tigers, sox, well pretty much any winners with some hometown pride.
