About Me

"Sprinkle this all over yourself and spin around thirteen times at 45 RPM, counterclockwise...".
This month's profile theme is a tribute to the 1989 cult movie, TEEN WITCH.
I am a multi-faceted person in the creative field and I like to whip up new and exciting things. Love Japanese and Mediterranian Cuisine (Greek & Italian) and pride myself in learning how to cook (how many can say that now a days) a variety of dishes from different countries.
Co-hosted an episode of USA Network's "UP ALL NITE" with Gilbert Gottfried (did you know that he doesn't talk like that when he's off camera?), was in a fashion shoot with Bridget Hall for Allure Magazine, did a couple of bit parts in movies for the silver screen, and was recently on an episode of NBC's "Law & Order".
I'm a social butterfly and like to network and hook up my friends with other friends that will have something in common such as modeling, photography, art, fashion, music, fitness, food...

Before you send a friend request, please email me first so I can get to know you. I do not respond to private profiles, loons, or drama queens. LOL!
Thank you.
If you like my original themes, please leave me a comment. I'll be changing my profile theme when the mood hits (usually monthly) so be sure to come back and check to see what's new. I'll also let you guys know when a new design is up and/or new developments. Thanks!
Peace and ♥

Heroes:

You are one of the few out there whose wings are
truly ANGELIC. Selfless, powerful, and
divine, you are one blessed with a certain
cosmic grace. You are unequalled in
peacefulness, love, and beauty. As a Being of
Light your wings are massive and a soft white
or silver. Countless feathers grace them and
radiate the light within you for all the world
to see. You are a defender, protector, and
caretaker. Comforter of the weak and forgiver
of the wrong, chances are you are taken
advantage of once in awhile, maybe quite often.
But your innocence and wisdom sees the good in
everyone and so this mistreatment does not make
you colder. Merciful to the extreme, you will
try to help misguided souls find themselves and
peace. However not all Angelics allow
themselves to be gotten the better of - the
Seraphim for example will be driven to fighting
for the sake of Justice and protection of those
less powerful. Congratulations - and don't ever
change - the world needs more people like you.Image Copyright Sheila Wolk (prints available
