About Me

I never grew out of "playing dress-up" which occasionally leads to being published somewhere. I like to learn new things--serious or silly, wonderful or weird.
I can speak smatterings of several languages (mostly swear words), and have been called a lot of things--some even flattering: Inquisitive. Quirky. Artsy-craftsy. Packratty. Vegetarian-ish. The girl who would bring you soup or still warm cookies if you were sick. (And my favorite, from my own sister, "...awfully nice for someone who likes creepy things.")

My Interests

Brilliant and talented humans. Inanimate objects. Animals, vegetables, and minerals.
Beauty in its elegant sublime and sordid grotesque. Costumes. Wigs. Corsets. Shoes. Velvet. Art Deco. Art Nouveau. Expressionism. Burlesque. Old Hollywood. Pinups. Gypsies. Pinatas. Day of the Dead. Mexican Wrestling. Vintage clothing of the 1920s-1950s. Halloween. Cartoons and comics. Squeaky toys. Mythology. Catholic saints. Ancient Egypt. Monsters. Cats. Bats. Skulls. Sideshow freaks. Museums of the Bizarre. Roadside attractions. Handicrafts. Trader Joe's. Coffee and Tea. Words and phrases. Alliteration. Edgar Allan Poe. Anais Nin. Ernest Hemingway.

I'd like to meet:

Those willing to cater to a simple whim: send a note before a friend request. I don't care if you are the most gorgeous creature who ever walked the earth or are so talented that birds come out of the trees. Manners are essential.
The creative, contrary, compelling. Travellers with tales to tell. Designers. Painters. Costumers. Photographers. Writers. Show folk. Carnies. Handsome devils. Fancy-pants and sparkling personalities. The pale and the passionate. The handy. The gorgeous inside and out. The snarky yet kind. The forever curious.

Music:

Deep, rumbly voices make me weak in the knees.
Goth, rockabilly, punk, cabaret, new wave, lounge, gypsy, creepy, classic rock, a splash of country, blah blah blah--I am the Zombie cocktail of musical tastes. (Mmmmm, zombies...)

Movies:

Fond of black and white and snappy writing. Hong Kong heroes, European "art" films, the classics, monster films.
Cinema in tumble-down theatres of wrought iron, arched ceilings, and moth-chewed chairs.

Television:

Heroes, The Addams Family, the Munsters, Kids In the Hall, Black Adder, the Simpsons, Cartoon Network, America's Next Top Model, NCIS, Late Night with Craig Fergusson (he's marvy).

Heroes:

Those bringing art to the world.
