Petite Paradox

I fired two warning shots...into his head.

About Me

I hate these things. For the sake of simplicity: I'm a horseback rider (English - dressage, show jumping, eventing), performance artist and kinkster. I'm working on my doctorate in clinical psychology. I dance with Hellcat Girls Burlesque aka Philadelphia's Bad Girl Burlesque. www.hellcatgirls.com. I am sweet and a bitch. I believe that being a bitch can be a very good thing. Don't ask me to slow down and we'll get along just dandy. I f-ing despise drama unless it's well-acted and taking place on a stage. I adore my friends and family. I have a 17 lb cat who can chew your arm off or cuddle you to death. I believe that cuddling should be an Olympic sport. I believe that popcorn with extra salt and extra butter is valid for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And one more thing: I am now accepting applications for a personal assistant. If your name is Lance or you'd be willing to change your name to Lance, contact me. If you'd like to follow me around all day for no pay, contact me. Hum...maybe that wasn't so simple after all... Transmission out.

My Interests

Vintage clothing/lingerie, 50s style pin-up art, 70s mod, Edie Sedgwick, hot rod cars, corsets, latex, kink, burlesque, photography, fencing, trips to the firing range, firing a 45 (YES!), horseback riding, jumping, dressage, clinical psychology, social psychology, sexual psychology, skiing, hiking, spending time with my friends and family, Hello Kitty (guaranteed to put a smile on my face) and so many other things I can't possibly name them all.

I'd like to meet:

Prince - aka my future ex-husband. Billy Idol - aka my 2nd future ex-husband. If you're not Prince or Billy - introduce yourself. If you have a spare Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sitting around that you'd like to get rid of, I'm all ears. I detest getting friend requests with no accompanying message. You'd better have one goddamn intriguing profile if you're not going to make an effort to send a message.Hellcat Girls Burlesque LIVE!!!

Music:

In no particular order: Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Liz Phair, Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Portishead, Covenant, VNV Nation, Bikini Kill, The Bravery, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Big Mama Thornton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Social Distortion, The Pixies, Joy Division, Death Cab for Cutie, Cyndi Lauper, INXS, George Thorogood, Billy Idol, Prince, The Cult, Pet Shop Boys, Annie Lenox, Sade, Sting, Laurie Anderson, Nora Jones, Mozart, Maria Calas, Vivaldi, The Stray Cats, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Southern Culture on the Skids, blah blah blah blah... Oh yes, and my new favorite - Linnzie Zaorski.

Movies:

Mother FUCKER! More lists? So many... Pan's Labyrinth, Donnie Darko, Orlando, Elizabeth, Run Lola Run, Better Of Dead, Stand By Me, Goonies, Happiness, Welcome To The Dollhouse, The Salton Sea (oh Val), Lord of the Rings (ALL of them), the Matrix (ONLY the first one - the rest - WTF?!), Blade Runner, The English Patient ::swoon::, A Room With A View, Hamlet (many versions), The Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Stardust, Notes On a Scandal, Ordinary People, Crash. Ok, I'm done. I can list no more!

Television:

I don't watch a lot of television. When I do, I usually get entranced by the Discovery Channel. It's all about Shark Week! Newish additions - Heroes and Lost. I can't wait for Locke to die.

Books:

Wuthering Heights, Long Days Journey Into Night, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harold and His Purple Crayon, Where the Wild Things Are, Orlando, Sexing the Cherry, Written on the Body, Abnormal Psychology 6th Edition ... crap ... I used to have such a long list, but now all I read are text books and academic articles. What can I say, I'm an intellectual geek. Yay for dorkdom!

Heroes:

My mother. My father. My sisters. My niece. My grandmother and grandfather. Mae West. Betsy Johnson. Joann Jett. Eleanor Roosevelt. Hum...will think of more later.
