About Me

i constantly immitate everything. if you have an accent or a quirk, i will pick it up and make it mine. in nearly every situation i end up in, i am reminded of a movie and try to explain it to everyone around. i worked for mac cosmetics for 8 years. i thought i wanted to do make-up, but after living in nyc for 5 years and never taking advantage of my surroundings, i realized that wasn't the case. i am now and assistant buyer in fashion. i want to buy designer shoes or handbags one day, specifically for barney's. for now things are good. i'm finishing school, finally! i'll be done soon... it's been a long time coming, but i'll be sad to see it end. well, not really.

My Interests

hesam, snowboarding, my cats, playing poker, fashion, socializing, singin and dancin, doing make-up, designer shoes, the ocean and the sun, live music, philosophy, film, french, astrology, analyzing everything

my free live music weekend

so i saw 2 free live shows this weekend, and neither would have been a disappointment had i paid. the first, the flaming lips, was a show put on in the petco stadium parking lot by southern comfort (...

Queens of the Stone Age

i've seen a lot of shows, but last night was one of the best. eagles of death metal are just so fun. the singer is such a woman-crazed dirt bag, i love it. "let's hear it for the ladies!!" is his...
