When life hands you lemons, grab the salt and tequila.

About Me

I love fashion-creating it, wearing it, living and breathing it. I love scouring fashion magazines, dumpster diving and spending entire Saturdays devoted solely to hunting down clothes at thrift shops in the Mission. I love to discover new restaurants, coffee shops and hang-outs.

My Interests

fashion, knitting, music, reading (Toni Morrison and Sylvia Plath), shopping, searching through thrift stores, attending artsy events and going to shows (drag, rock, punk-in that order).

I'd like to meet:

art fags, fashion kids, courtney love (shut up!), kathleen hanna (not at the same time-we all know wha happened the last time those two were in a room together), kate moss, marc jacobs, karl "the kaiser" lagerfeld, tom ford, nicole richie, trannies, drag queens/kings, Juanita Moore!, any and all creative types, cute girls, hotter boys.

Music:

vintage madge, marilyn manson, christina aguilera, rihanna (SOS is the bomb-foshizzle) mary j. blige, courtney love, le tigre, peaches, aqualung, weezer, red hot chilli peppers...justin timberlake (but, girl-I never lost my sexy), mount sims, paris hilton!!!!, nelly furtado, Akon, gwen stefani

Movies:

the hunger, last tango in paris (I haven't had butter on my toast since seeing this movie), Angels in America, any and all Hitchcock films-Vertigo tops the list, Rob Zombie's films, V for Vendetta

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Ellen, the morning news, vh1 & mtv's morning blocks of videos, the simple life

Books:

Anything by Toni Morrison or Sylvia Plath. I've been reading a lot of random self-helpish books lately like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, any books on small business/how to start a business, anything from Karl Lagerfeld's publishing imprint-7L Books, invisible monster (by chuck p.-the guy who wrote fight club)

Heroes:

Anyone who follows their heart and makes their dreams come true. My best friend. Karl "the Kaiser" Lagerfeld. Courtney Love, Tom Ford.

Running Away

So, I guess running away from your past isn't really as easy as it seems. It eventually catches up with you and at some point-you're gonna have to deal. Damn.
