Hey Scotty, what's it gonna be?

About Me

As Eddie Nichols (from Royal Crown Revue) once said about me "she's like livin life and lovin it Miss 1954." It's true. Artist by day pin up by night.
I'm a photographer that loves to be in front of the lens as well as behind it. I'm a painter that likes to cover life in color not just canvas. I'm a sculpter that loves to build and destroy. I am an artist that loves to create and live in art.

My Interests

Good friends, great atmosphere, awesome memories, and even better pictures to capture all of it! Musicals, in the theater and in the movies. Traveling is a habit more than a hobbie. I love smiling, smiling's my favorite. I LOVE CHEESE more than one human can ever understand. I'm a gentleman's lady, Gentleman Jack that is. My one goal is to make others so uncomfortable around me that they fall in with love me...it happens everytime.

I'd like to meet:

Models that want the Tonic Touch on their photos. Fabulous people that perhaps want me to join their band, (I'll only do rock, pop, swing, blues or bluegrass...in case you're interested) Those that will sing outloud in public places with me or just won't be embarassed when I do it. People that will do burlesque with me. Geniune good hearted people that will join me in my crazy antics of living life to it's untmost fullest. Oh yeah, your mom.

Here's me with mister Steve Buscemi and mister Aidan Quinn
