I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

From Buffalo, NY and New Orleans, I now live with my de facto Jon in Australia, and am an OFFICIAL RESIDENT! Now they can search my luggage all they want at the airport...I'm an artist, so kitten on over to my website right now:www.mimikersting.comI try to keep my friends list down to people I either know, or who have the same interests as me, so if I don't add you, don't take it personally! If you're an artist, rockabilly queen or mod girl, you're pretty much in...Meow at you later! You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !

My Interests

Vintage clothing (40's-50's), art (see above), mid-century pulp paperbacks, vintage confession magazines, glamour, rockabilly everything, 60's garage music, mods, medical illustration, and of course, kittens.

I'd like to meet:

Other artists into lowbrow/alternative/kustom kulture/whateveryouwanttocall it art, people who like going out to rockabilly/garage/etc. shows, burlesque and gogo kittens, anyone obsessed with vintage confession magazines, someone who can show me where all the good cheap restaurants are!

Music:

rockabilly, swing, 60's garage, pre-1980 country (except Dwight Yoakam and a few others), bubblegum music from any era, but especially the 60's and early 70s'. Favorite band in the whole world: the Cramps (pre-"Look Mom No Head") - pretty much anything from the 20's - early 60's, especially the weird stuff.

Movies:

Baby Doll, Sunset Boulevard, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Red House, Night of the Iguana, Sweet & Lowdown, the ORIGINAL Lolita, Imitation of Life, God's Little Acre

Books:

Anything by Erskine Caldwell, I like books that about troubled girls in the 50's living in the backwoods, that sort of thing...standouts are "Sanctuary", "Tobacco Road", and "The Heller".

Heroes:

Mitch O'Connell, Gil Elvgren, and of course, Casey.
