Just a girl who somehow got lost along the road to becoming a woman...
I'm a very straight up, in your face woman. I know bullshit when I smell it, and I am not afraid to tell you so. I've been told that I am an intimidating woman, I say you're a pussy. I've been called a bitch, and I will not deny that I am. My response? "Thank you!" with a smile. I am as complex as I am simple, there are many layers to me.
The questin is...
"Can you get past the first one?"
Don't judge a book by its cover, it's the pages inside that makes the difference.
I like tacos and '71 Cabernet. My favorite color is magenta.
I’m just a white girl trapped in a Hispanic body. I’m pretty much a mixed mutt with Scottish, Mexican, Spanish, and Puerto Rican. Those are just the ones I DO know. I’m sure there is other shit in there too, some native American Indian I think. I don’t know much of my Hispanic background except for the fact that my father was Puerto Rican and my maternal grandmother’s mother was of Mexican descent. I get the Scottish from my maternal grandfather.
I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. I hate make-up and dresses. Dresses + me = TORTURE! I’ll wear either if and when I have to. But other than that, what you see is what you get with me.
I’m an outgoing person and have a sarcastic sense of humor. I’m pretty far left of center in the way that I think. My friends tell me that I’m a dark person, which I won’t deny. I do tend to lean towards the dark side of things. I like to think of it more of dark light, like the dark image you see on a black & white film negative. It's that darkness that is actually the light of a photograph. Darkness is all in the way you perceive it.
I’m also the biggest dork that you’ll ever meet if you get to know me. I have a habit of retaining a lot of useless trivial stuff and pop culture trivia.
I can’t dance and I can’t sing for shit either. But that never stops me from singing along with a song I like or grooving to a song.
I'm also a hopeless romantic and believe in "the one", that one person who was meant for you. I found him, but I also knew that he'd break my heart.
Above all. I’m not made to measure and I don't fit nicely in your box. I am me. If you don't like it? That's your issue, not mine. Deal with it or move on.

My Interests


Laced
Photography (looking for nude models), witches, and I absolutely LOVE CEMETERIES! Anything that has to do with witches, gargoyles, vampires, tigers, castles, Scotland (and trying to trace my family history), the Middle Ages (Medieval Scotland especially), the Renaissance, the American Old West, and everything else outside the box.

Cry Baby
My photography is centered more on cemeteries and nature. I want to expand my view through the lens to include more people. I would love to photograph men and women in the nude. The body is one of the most beautiful forms out there with a variety of canvases. I would love to photograph bodies with tattoos and/or piercings. I have a fascination with assorted fetishes...what a better way to explore them than through photography? Yes, first hand is usually the tried and true method, but it's just a fascination for me. Although...

TATTOOS! I'm completely drawn to people who are heavily tattooed. I do have a few and working on the next few that I'd really like to get...much bigger pieces. I seem to have a weakness for tall men with tattoos, specially if they have long dark hair and the whole goatee thing going on, even better!

6767
I am attracted to both men and women. Love and attraction is not gender specific in my eyes.

Kiss by Tanya Chalkin
Physical attraction is much more than what you see on the outside, it is what you see in the inside that makes the whole package complete.

Morning Exercise
I'm also an avid reader, get me into a book store, especially used book stores or old libraries, and I will get lost for hours. Books were a big part of my childhood growing up, my escape.

I Could Never Sleep Alone
Quill pens and old ink wells. The written word of centuries long gone is so beautiful to me.

Alone
I've got a wide variety of interests, really too many to list them all here. I have many layers... Which one do you want to know about?
Piercing Pin-up
Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. And a coin operated boy.

Wolf
Oh wait a minute. I believe I do have one of those. I call him BOB.

Cable Corset Piercing
And in case you haven't noticed, Guinness. Because there really is no other beer!

Guinness Draught

I'd like to meet:



Music:

Music has always been a big part of my life, music was another on of my escapes. I love just about every genre out there. As a child I grew up on Zepplin, Janis, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, the Beatles, etc... I love my music LOUD & HARD, but I will listen to whatever makes me feel something. I have many music moods and that mood can change from song to song.

I seem to have a strange fascination with bands from Finland...and men too. But this is the music section so...

I was finally able to locate The Frisk and The Criminals records. Not bad, not bad at all...I like them both, a lot. I'm still laughing at the fact that Mike was known as Mike Sexxx though.

VALLEY GIRL
This movie has got one of the greatest 80's modern music soundtrack, ev-er!
Like fur sure, ya know!

Television:

I used to love watching AMC way back in the day when Nick Clooney introduced and presented backgounds of classic movies, along with Bob Dorian. I used to love watching Bravo too, when they were still commercial free. Truth be told, I don't watch a lot of TV. Too much crap out there like American Idol and shit. If it's something I'd really like to see I'll just wait for the entire season to come out on DVD. That way I can just watch the whole freakin' season without having to deal with comercials or having to wait until next week for the next show.

    Queer as Folk The L Word Deadwood Supernatural Charmed Highlander Surface Miracles (was sad to learn this one didn't last the whole season.)

Every once in a while I'll flip through the channels. I'll stop and watch these shows: Miami Ink; CSI Las Vegas, A&E's Cold Case Files, A&E's City Confidential, Medium.
I love British comedies!
    Coupling (UK) AbFab

But as of late, I haven't watched a damn thing on the boob tube that wasn't going trough my DVD player. I'm really addicted to watching DVDs.
THE YOUNG ONES
Bloody Fucking BRILLIANT!
(Neil to Rick): I really hate to lay this one on you man, but you can't crucify yourself. I've tried it hundreds of times, there's no way you can hammer in the last nail.
. . . . . . . . . .
Vyvyan: OK Neil, you might feel a bit of a prick.
Neil: Ohhh. What else is new?

Books:

Anything that has to do with witchcraft, vampires, ghosts, cemeteries, photography, and New Orleans. Absolutely love books that take me back to the time of castles, pagans, Arthurian legend, medieval Scotland, the Renaissance, 16th century Venice, vampires, witches...so many assorted realms... Almost anything by Stephen King and Anne Rice.
However, I have many interests and will read anything that catches my eye. I never got a chance to read many of the 'classics' that they made you read in high school, so I am trying to read as many of them as I can.

Heroes:
