About Me



I'm different in different situations...just like everybody else. More likely to pick dare than truth. I do all my own stunts. I make my time with The German. He is very, very good. I love the smell of a fresh canvas and I wish my place had wallpaper and some floor made out of wood.

In a Past Life...

I Was: A Redhead Assassin.

I Lived In: India.

I Died From: The Plague.
