Add to My Profile | More VideosCheck out my website/blogsite, for info on my shows! www.sisterserpentine.com Yo I gots me a Tribe account, too... Hit me up on there, tooo... http://people.tribe.net/7d136466-ecad-4f0d-8228-c44bb3c83f43 So, who am I? Well, it depends on who you ask... To some, I'm Christina... to others, I'm Medea... Pick one, I'll answer to either... Where am I from? Well, I was hatched from an egg under a fruit tree in Eastern Washington and then bred by wild amazon circus monkeys over here in the grand Pacific NW... What do I do? Well, for my 'day job' I'm a Library Assistant... Yup... I'm a book-slinger... When I'm not working, I dance... and dance and dance and dance... I'm a bellydancer, specifically...though, I love me some burlesque and salsa... Dancing is my second favorite thing in the world, next to kissing.. it's the most beautiful, meditative, erotic, healing and spiritual art form...I feel connected to...well, everything...it's all about the drums and my hips and the moon...it transcends...everything. What do I love? Besides dance, I love all things strange, wild, nutty and artistic... I try to make it to as many good shows, gallery openings, dance & music festivals, and fashion shows as I can... I play in the arts, but I think I'm sorta mediocre at most of them...dance has become my most clear and consistant artistic expression...XX I refuse to take things (myself included) too seriously... I like making fun of myself and I encourage others to do so as well...XX I'm super vain...and neurotic! I mean, just look at how many pictures I have up on here! lol Seriously tho, I'm a ham and love to be in front of the camera, muggin for video and performing like a circus monkey for the entertainment of others... Shit, life's short, act like a frickin nut!!!XX I love provocative shit, I love shit that makes you think...I like to be moved and touched and inspired...XX I live for those moments of clarity when we see absolute beauty...in ourselves...the people and life and nature around us...it's fantastic when you can see it manifested onto canvas or sculpture, or through dance...that's a high...That, my friends, is quite possibly the meaning of life...

My Interests


You're Bettie Page!

What Classic Pin-Up Are You?
brought to you by QuizillaInterests? Well, I like anything silly, wacky or strange...anything thought-provoking and wonderful...anything taboo and controversial...I love shit like Circus Contraption and the Pure Cirkus...Yard Dogs Road Show... I dig raw poetry and provocative art, good music...I'm basically dancing whenever possible, I dig designing clothes, I read a lot...I like studying culture, religion & philosophy...LOVE to travel, I think rollerderby girls are hot, I almost went to school for interior design, I love camping (but mostly just in the SCA), I dig long road trips, schmoozing with friends, acting, going to shows, throwin parties...I love tattoos, piercings, naughty sex, foreign films, B-Movies, horror flicks...I attempt at photography, painting and other random arts...and as cliche' as it might sound, I love long walks on the beach... ;)

I'm on here to make new friends, keep up with old ones and do some networking in the dance and art communities... So, don't be an asshole... just be cool, classy and real and maybe we can chat...


Get Your Cyborg Name

Music:

I like alot of shit, man. I'd have to say that middle-eastern/moroccon/drum-driven tribal stuff is my favorite...cuz of that whole bellydancing thing. It does something to my soul. But, really, I have a pretty vast appreciation for music. I like anything from techno to classical to metal to rap to psychobilly to industrial, to old school, unpretentious bad ass rock and roll. It comes down more to artist than to genre...some of the faves are; Post Stardom Depression, The Missionary Position, Pentaphobe , Zoe's Beats Antique CD , The Misfits, Danzig, She Wants Revenge, The Ravonettes, Portishead, Tool, Sabbath, Ministry, NIN, Bauhaus, Janes Addiction, Interpol, Bad Brains, P.J. Harvey, Drop6, Intake, Sarah Brightman, Ani Difranco, Mr. Underhill, B.R.M.C, Modest Mouse, The Dead Kennedys, Phantom Planet, Tom Waits, The Cramps, The Clash, Depeche Mode, Covenant, The Cure, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Metallica, The Ramones, Marilyn Manson, Fugazi, Siouxsie, Texylvania, Zepplin, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Dead Can Dance, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Beethoven, The Doors, Bob Marley...and a bunch of other random shit...basically, a little of everything...nothing that sucks.

Movies:

Anything by Ed Wood, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Quentin Tarentino or Tim Burton and I dig weird foreign flicks and bad b-movies....some of my fave movies are: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra Orgy of the Dead: Catwomen From The Moon: Legend, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Naked Lunch, A clockwork orange, The Dark Crystal, Princess Bride, Breakfast Club, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Interview with the Vampire, Dracula (old and new), Labyrinth, Neverending Story, The entire Lord of the Rings and Star Wars series, The Godfather series, From Hell, Sleepy Hollow, Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice (and just about anything with Jonny Depp), Immortal Beloved...anything silly, crazy or strange...

Television:

So, I don't watch alot of t.v.--I'm more of a movie person---but if I'm watching the tube, it'd be something like: Little Britain, Ab Fab, Alias, Lost, Family Guy, Futurama, Simpsons, Robot Chicken, true crime stuff; CSI, a little sci-fi like Star Trek, maybe...that kind of stuff, I guess...but for the most part, I hate t.v.

Books:

Weird shit that keeps my attention...philosophy, religion, true-crime, poetry, the occult, erotica (Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series was pretty hot) And, I love anything by Anthony Burgess and William S Burroughs...cuz, well, that's some weird shit. I also LOVE poetry! I really like mythic type shit...Rabrindranath Tagore and Rumi, just to name a couple. I've been reading a ton of inspirational books and books about Buddhism lately as well...

Heroes:

Anyone who can face adversity head on and with a smile...(my friend, Kristen, comes to mind)...and The Dalai Lama ... Deepak Chopra...Arjuna...Any and all human rights activists...Pema Chodron: Tenzin Palmo Rachel Brice and all of the Indigo Dance company ladies...Zanbaka, my first, amazing teacher...all dancers of the world!...and, of course, there's also Purgatory , Catwoman, Animala, Wonder Woman, Bat Girl, Elektra, Vampira, Demonica, Ren&Stimpy, Mother Theresa, Sister Wendy Beckett, and my little sister...
