About Me


Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

WILD CAT
They live life to the full, take any opportunity that's given to them. Always first to take the plunge, they are bold and sometimes a little wild.

CONQUEROR
They are full of ambition, and energy - cavalier and always moving onto the next level.

NEW WAVE PURITAN
They are strict, organized and ever so neat - they practice the art of self-discipline. They like things done simply but with an eye for detail.

TOUCHY FEELY
Love for them is about human contact - the nitty gritty. They are very physical - a high sex drive demands plenty of attention.

though lovers be lost

I think we mourn the loss of significant others because they represent a piece of "self" that we fear will die in their absence. They are a place, a time, a self-defining piece of our history that pr...

People often use the phrase "in a relationship" to describe their emotional engagements, but to me, being "in" something implies confinement and restriction. This makes relationships sound like maximu...
