Rose Pistola

About Me

I love drunken tree climbing, the perfect last bite, old photos of my parents. I fear baby corn. I don't hate Sean Penn as much as I used to. I once got my head caught in a ceiling fan. I don't have a favorite color anymore, but they are always vying for my attention. I'm passionate about finding the natural extensions of things and following them. I'm a maker and shaper of things... I love new challenges, so please try to stump me!
Here's one story...
Rose Pistola is a solo practitioner of "Vintage, Modern and Death-Defying Burlesque." A classic beauty with a twisted sense of reality, gender, and sexuality, this gal is like a trip to the beauty parlor on acid, a trip to the whorehouse with grandma, or a trip down the stairs. You may find her in many of the indecorous and holy joints around the city and beyond... "To entertain the company of Rose is to lightly roll your heart over shards of broken glass, to enthusiastically draw small abrasions across your soul and fall slowly into the sea of salt, to orchestrate your own demise one dance at a time and crumbling to your knees beg for more, to.....well you get the picture."
I'm a costume and tiny hat maker, and I also have a line of costume inspired clothing and haberdashery for sale about town. For more info, just drop me a line!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Rebels, troublemakers, wallflowers, experts, savvies, queers, show offs, someone to clean my room... People who don't harbor preconcieved notions, and can ignore first impressions once in a while. People who can fool with the best of them, but whose hearts are true. People who appreciate good theories as well as good shoes. People who can get into a good clean debate or a down and dirty tussle.
