One Pushy Bitch

About Me

I'm a writer and socialite living in San Diego. My weekly column is called Diary of a Diva and can be found in the San Diego Reader .

I live in an urban luxury condo with my partner, a.k.a., my "bitch," David .

My WEB SITE is where I post my blog and most recent photos, published works, and more!

Like most writers, I love to read, and to facilitate this I have my own book club. Unlike most writers, I really, really like to socialize. I am a leader. I am a dominatrix. If I like you, if you're a good person, I will support you and push you to achieve your dreams with everything I've got. And with each passing day, what I've got increases exponentially.

My Interests

Reading, Writing, Fine Dining, Fitness & Health, BDSM, Feathers, Leather, Domination, Friends, Events, and Fun. Basically, I like to LIVE, to savor and sip life as though it is the best damn glass of wine known to man.

I'd like to meet:

YOU! I will always be open to crossing paths with like-minded (or different-minded) people. I find it's the best way to learn more about life...

Music:

Trust me, you don't want to know.

Movies:

The Color Purple, Steel Magnolias, any chick flick that has good writing and can make me both laugh and cry. Nick & Nora, action flicks, comedies, horror, ah, fuck it. I just dig movies. Undercover Brother is a must see.

Television:

It'll rot your brain. (But the real deal is that if I am left to my own devices, I'm a sucker for the Animal Planet).

Books:

Most recent: Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris, Midnight's Children by Salmun Rushdie, some Joan Didion, some Harper Lee (thanks to Ollie), and more. Honestly, I read way too much to keep this updated.

Heroes:

My dad. Oprah, even though I don't watch her show. I just want to have my own empire some day. The character Karen from Will & Grace. Patsy & Edina.
