My main interest is my daughter & every creative-freaky-funny thing she does. She's a wonder unto herself. A marvelous creature that I am privileged enough to nurture and teach. Well, try to teach, she teaches me something new about myself and the world around me every day.
Other than that....my family, friends, music, Pow-wow's/Stomp Dances, tattoo's, laughing, spoken word, music, holistic treatments/natural health practices, skin care/make-up, music, fetal development, history, WWII, Tudor history, French, French history (mainly 15th-early 20th centuries), traditional NDN stories, NDN art, sociology, music, people who affected my interests throughout history.....music, flix, music, movies, music, film, and yes, more music.....writing down every weird thing I see or that pops into my head. -Oh, and occasionally I find myself enjoying the visceral pleasure of verbally bitch slapping someone upside the head.msprm name="wmode" value="t
On myspace?
Other hip mama's, friends of friend's, other Indn's (there are almost none out here, guess that whole Indian "relocation/integration" thing didn't work out too well here in the ol' Bay Area, eh?), people interested and educated (self or formally) in natural or holistic living/health practices, bluegrass and jazz mucisians to collaborate with.
So, who would I really like to meet? Who's brain would I like to pick? Who's soul would I like to absorb?
My Great-great and my Great Grandfather's, my Great Aunt, Dr. Sears, my 5 song/stage Divas-Billy Holiday, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughn, Rosemary Clooney, Josephine Baker (best adoptive Mom EVER), my fav. screen goddesses-Julie Newmar, Cyd Cherisse and Jane Russell (also another kick-ass adoptive mother). Dean Martin, Chet Baker, Bobby Darin, John Lennon, George Harrison, Catherine Parr, Elizabeth R (I), Wilma Mankiller (for longer than 5 min.), Vine Deloria, John Ross, Redbird Smith, Sacaguwea......
