MESTIZO AMAZONA

You mean i shaved my bikini line for THIS?!

About Me

a MESTIZO and an AMAZON: a half breed, a hybrid, a mongrel, a beauty, a hydra, Eurotrash extravaganza.Raised by Vegans. Lived in a CRUISELINER on a port city for years because of an earthquake, along with another 4000 people. Thought i would grow up to be a mermaid until a jellyfish stung me. At the Empty Bottle, Jim Foetus told me i had the most striking eyes and that he noticed them while he was performing...i was glad i was not a mermaid then. I was raised Atheist, so it's hard to imagine a GOD who cares. A nuclear physicist gave me a tattoo for $5. In New Orleans a litle boy asked me if i was an ANGEL; i have that effect on men; except when i don't. all i really ever want to do is dance... i wore black vinyl hotpants to highschool.i went to every rave in Europe in the early '90's. My spirit animal is Dorothy Parker,Tammy Faye Baker and Beatrice "La Bouche" Dalle (all that verbal vitriole combined with fake eyelashes and stuffing diamonds in your leather thigh-high boots makes sense.) No one has ever written a song about me, but a girl's gotta have her stalkers, hmmmm?I'm into traveling and dancing and Art history,writing music, winking, laughing so hard it hurts, working hard and hardly working, drawing, painting, art history, kissing, philosophy, contemporary art, flirting, wigs, also: Dames! Booze! Chains and Boots! mostly traveling....
