MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
♥ I strive for elegance and ladylike-ness, but I'm so frightfully clumsy and always spill drinks, get food down my dress when I eat, trip over and only last week I walked into a wall. (ok, that was about 6 months ago now, but it did really happen!)
♥I go literally weak at the knees for Art Deco anything.
♥ I love the East End of London with a proud passion.
♥ I'm your average typical wishy-washy-watery Pisces.
"I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell truths. I tell what ought to be truth." (Blanche DuBois)
♥ My tastes are expensive and fine, yet I go wild for 1 pound shops (remember the 55p shop in Brighton? That was my favourite) and have been know to scavenge through the bins out the back of Oxfam. (You wouldn't believe what they chuck out!)
♥ I'm tough as, and am great at camping and roughing it in the wild.
♥ I am jack of many instruments but mistress of none.
♥ I was apparently named after Sue Ellen from Dallas...
...but I like to think I look like Vivien Leigh.
Do I?
♥ I am learning Italian so that one day I will live the dolce vita...
You Belong in Rome
You're a big city girl with a small town heart
Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome
Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand. And gorgeous Italian men - could life get any better? What City Do You Belong In?
