About Me

I am the Devil, but I'm really good at it. OK, seriously, I try not to be evil, it just kinda happens.... Anywhore, I'm pretty laid back most of the time and I've got a high patience threshold but I don't give much time to bullshit. It takes a lot of effort to really piss me off and it's not pretty when it happens. I think that life should be lead according to a few specifics; get off your ass and face your responsibilities, don't try to vicitimize other poeple to make yourself feel better, and brush yourself off and keep going when you take a fall.I pride myself in my ability to see the good in people. I've got one degree (a BFA in painting with a minor in art history) and I'm debating on graduate studies. I'm completely in love with my husband Joel (check him out in my pics) and I'm proud as hell of him. I'm here to make friends, not lovers so just be real with me. If yer going to add me, a note would be nice...just let me know what I'm dealing with. I'm a straight-up person and I appreciate knowing other straight-up people (not to be confused with straight edge; although I don't do drugs, I drink like a fish). I'm fiercely attached to my friends and family (although I live and die for my man), "art is why I get up in the morning", and I'm a sucker for animals. I love burlesque and pin-up culture and have been known to hit the stage every so often myself. I coordinate the Clagary Burlesque Collective and I'm always enthusiastic to see new talent out there. I love a wide variety of music and I think that music snobbery is appalling (I'll like whatever I fucking want to, thank-you very much). I feel the same way about art and personal style but I think that there's no excuse for bad hygiene. If you smell bad, BATHE! Check our my portfolio at www.karinfrench.ca

My Interests

I like long walks on the (nude) beach, getting caught in the rain, small children on the BBQ, boys...you know, the usual. No seriously... I'm a visual artist (painting, and drawing) and a burlesque dancer for shits and giggles (although I've been out of commission for a awhile).I've actually got my BFA (also known as a Bachelor of Fuck All)in painting and art history) and I'm a commissioned artist by trade(cuz my bills haven't learned how to pay themselves) . I'm a big fan of tattoo art and I don't have near enough, as far as I'm concerned. I can drink Wild Turkey like it's going out of style but I won't touch hard drugs with a ten foot pole.I think Kraft Dinner is the great equalizer.I like pins-ups, pink lemonade (you can't say anything bad about it),people who don't do drugs,clothes fresh out of the laundry, Wild Turkey, breakfast (aka brekky),do its with my man, shirts off parties,people who don't take themselves too seriously, and finding money I didn't know I had...

This is my main interest I heart pinups, Vargas is my favorite Burlesque makes me giggle

I'd like to meet:

Mother Theresa, the dude who invented pantyhose (he's got alot to answer for), Les Claypool,this other guy who keeps calling himself the devil (he and I are going to have words),burlesque performers, dancers, singers, artists, people who enjoy kraft dinner....if you're going to try and add me, please send a message first, it's just polite dammit.Essentially...IF YOU DON'T SEND ME A MESSAGE, I WON'T ADD YOU! If you're a band trying to add me, take a look at my music preferences before you do so. If you make music that I have no interest in or if you don't send a message, why would I want to add you? Think about it...
