I am here for Friends

About Me

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !I am a Jill of all trades and master of a few. My current and ever ongoing obsessions are with restoring my 54 Dodge, MUSIC, thirft store treasurse hunting ( hahaha shopping ), drawing, painting, tattoo design, ATS, Gothic and Tribal Fusion Bellydance, FIRE DANCING and ofcourse photography. I am a student of spirituality and have a total love affair with art. I shamelessly promote my fellow artisans and our communities so you will find mention of them on my site and in my writing

My Interests

My interest include art, the pursuit of knowledge, Maha Kali, heavy doses of industrial, rockabilly, swing, gothic, ambient and well all music styles, bowling, antique cars, car restoration, Fire, fire dancing, fire photography, more painting and crafting than my sore hands can take, SCA, historical research on what ever topic has popped into my head that day, tribal belly dancing and random conversations spurred from the people I meet. I am the thrift store queen, antique store hound and yard sale maven as I am constantly on the hunt for Victorian, Edwardian and Vaudeville pieces for my home. I am the epitome of eccentric, definition of unpredictable and yet always reliable,just call me contradiction.

Ms. Betty Belladonna! ..

Here are some shots of Viva Las Vegas 10.

I'd like to meet:

Fellow artist, music fanatics, car enthusist, anyone who is into the rockabilly scene, tattoo collectors and of course children of Maa. People to just people to chat with will work too. I am a girl with a few extra moments of time on her hands and a computer.

Music:

Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Reverend Horton Heat, Mike Ness, Portishead, Sophia Wolf, Faith and the Muse, Frontline Assembly, Fear Factory, Kidney Thieves, NIN, Manson, KMFDM, Depeche Mode, Type O Negative, Skinny Puppy, System Of a Down, Rob Zombie, Collide, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Assemblage 23, Tori Amos, Rasputina, Switchblade Symphony,Omar and the string poppers, Tin Stars, The Honeybees, The Shroud, VNV, Velvet Acid Christ, Corvus Corax, The Andrew Sisters, Hank Williams, Coal Chamber and I am sure a host of others that I haven’t mentioned yet but will.

Movies:

The few movies I like would be Donny Darco, Twin Falls Idaho, Anything Tim Burton, What Dreams May Come, Titus, Bowling for Columbine....I am not a big movie fan...but I'll add more if one strikes me.

Television:

Television is for the mindless and unimaginative. Can't stand it unless the news is on and even that is pretty bad.

Books:

If I named them all here I would use up all the space on the server! Let me put it like this, the categories of books I read would include historical fiction, reference books from different eras, tarot, spirituality, art, culture, occult, psychology and on and on the list could go

Heroes:

My hero's might be unlikely but they are my grandmother, my mom, my sisters and brother, my ex-husband, my kids and most of my friends.
