About Me

Often times I dream about the past. I fantasize about secret meetings over smokey Weimar cafes and jazz baby bath tub gin orgies. When you are not watching or consuming, just doing, that is the best. I love to dress up. I love ladies and gentlemen. I love spontaneity and absurdity. If you are creative, open-minded, intelligent person with a golden heart and a bit of a dark streak, we will get along splendidly. I love dancing and take dance classes all week long - striptease, belly dance, and tap - it's all about the charm of the old timey chorus girls; busby berkley style. My resolution for 2008 is to spend more time idly, be more irresponsible, and to write a letter a day. do send your addresses my way...video of me eating fire from my birthday party in august:Se7en, my troupe, dancing with Fishtank Ensemble:
