About Me

I'm MATERIAL ADDICTION -- please check out my Ebay store for lots of cool clothes. I've always got great prices on brand new stuff from Paper Doll Productions, Lip Service fetish and vinyl, and as much cool vintage as I can get my hot little hands on... please click on the (rad) picture to see everything in my store:

Featured item in my store today...
This really cute top from Paper Doll Productions! It's made of suuuuper stretchy leopard print material with girly ruffly black trim and a little bow around the neckline. The sleeves are half sleeves that come down to your elbows, and it looks so cute on. It's also got the "love hurts" embroidery from Paper Doll on one side of the chest and one hip, plus two more little red bows on each side. This link takes you to the medium, but I also have sizes small and large in stock now! Please click on the pic to check it out (or see more vintage and new clothing in my store):


My Interests

Chihuahuas! (especially mine), MUSIC (live or otherwise), VINTAGE CLOTHING, bats, zombies, crows... anything spooky and my HALLOWEEN birthday (a true gothabilly from the start, people), Dia de los Muertos skeletons, TATTOOS (mine or yours), TIKI stuff, writing and poetry, RED lipstick, sushi and lasagna *but not at the same time*, Coca-Cola, ART of all shapes and sizes -- lately I’m into Ray Caesar. I also recently discovered Catalina Estrada. Classic cars and hot rods (thanks to my DAD), darn near anything with polka dots on it, tigerlilies, geisha (I might have been one in a past life), CANDY, leopard geckos and tree frogs, vanilla flavored VODKA, corsets and shiny vinyl, makeup and dress up which I never outgrew, SHOES, origami and POKER!

I'd like to meet:

I am here to make cool friends and sell cool clothes so anyone whose interest falls into either of those two categories will be warmly received.
OH... and people who don't use the words "tatt" or "sneakers." Blech. ..

Music:

I love almost all music, but especially RESTLESS, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, SURF music (any and all), Southern Culture on the Skids, Jake La Botz, ELVIS (of course), the Ghastly Ones, Throw Rag, FRANKENSTEIN, the Horrorpops, Deadbolt, Manic Hispanic, Johnny Cash, the Supersuckers, Patsy Cline, Reverend Horton Heat, the Living End, Bjork, Sioxsie, Amazing Crowns, Stray Cats, the White Stripes, Los Straightjackets, Nekromantix, Blondie, Tori Amos, Portishead, Cuba Las Vegas, Tegan and Sara, Twistin' Tarantulas, Marilyn Manson, Sinatra, the Pixies, the Cars, the Propellerheads, Link Wray, Jane’s Addiction, the Cure, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Nine Inch Nails, Hepcat, The Cramps, PJ Harvey... I could do this all day

Movies:

I might just float away...

My mom used to say that all the time about my sister when she was little... that she drank so much juice she might just float away.  It's true -- she was quite the apple juice-aholic for a while ...

I Have WEIRD Dreams

I've noticed that if I talk about or quickly write down the dreams I have, I remember them for longer.  This one definitely merits that effort. Last night I dreamed that Nick Cave was my dentist....

The Resolution Revolution

This time of year, people always ask "What are your New Year's resolutions?"  Quite often, I haven't had an answer.  Or if I did, they were usually several of the generic-sounding resol...
