About Me

It's 11:33 on a Thursday night and I'm listening to Alice in Chains while shedding chains of my own. I've thrown my hat into the proverbial ring, and have thus created this "myspace" profile. I really never thought that anyone read or looked at these profiles, but like everything else, I justify it as a business venture. A social writeoff and excuse for flaunting myself and what others have called my "talent". Decide for yourselves-sometimes it's a talent, sometimes its a curse. Anyone who's ever made an attempt to pursue a dream can identify with the aforementioned statement. It's a creative career--something you do to satisfy the need to manifest outside yourself your thoughts, your style, and your addictions. You have the ambition and audacity to make tangible what was once abstract, and put your USDA seal of approval on whatever it is that stands before you. When one calls themselves an artist, they tread a fine line beteween masochist and megalomaniac--in your godlike way you create from earth a concept that was once air, and send it out to "say something", to be the phyiscal projection of your already physical self. And in the back of your mind you can't forget that this one might just be your coup de gras--set for life. Rather than making art your language, why can't you just learn to speak the native tongue? I have yet to break the language barrier..... Now to the usual stuff:
My Art: "L.A. lady, seamstress for the band..." I'm a seamstress and costumer looking for a band to go on the road with, either designing or merely maintaing an existing wardrobe. The two loves of my life are travel and music, and my art is meant to serve them. The megalomanical part of my artistic self wants to forever immortalize my work ..uloid, so I'd like to do a music video or period film (what seems to be a specialty of mine)
Current Work: Space Aliens? Jihad? Santa?
My job: Like any artist, my work isn't paying the bills so you're just gonna have to come by and rent some Eames chairs. And a settee. with throw pillows....and a space laser. cuz you can do that.
Interests: Travel, Photography, Music, Art, Literature, Going out, Meeting new and interesting folk.

Where Will I Be?

Interesting question! I'm writing a blog on my sidekick too since it seems my laptop is bent on world domination by way of not turning on. Imagine the devastation of things not turning on, yes, in b...

Every honest girl should have a Game Show buzzer.

a day for reminiscing (and not spelling either)

for whatever reason i was reminded of some of the random music/electronica i used to listen to in college.  So i did a "Where are they now?" of VAST, Delerium, and Robert Miles among others. ...
