I like my liquor, like I like my men: strong!

About Me



I'm a fun-loving, raven-haired, stiletto strutting, red-lipstick wearng, tattooed dame who: often bumps in trouble, still believes in chivalry, prefers burts bee's lip-balm, dislikes the spotlight, and is shyer than you think. Underneath it all, I'm just a quirky, creative gal who values family, friendship, laughter and love above all else.
Other interests: Aromatherapy, Buddhism, English Equestrianism, Flappers, Forensic Science, Ghost Stories, Hollywood History, Kundalini Yoga, Organic/Raw/Vegan food, and Millinery. My love of hats turned me into a designer--check out my Ruby Harlow page! http://www.myspace.com/rubyharlow .. .. <
