About Me

i'm crafty. i have antennae. rainbow antennae, in fact, amidst a mad sea of dark curls. i'm one of those girls with cats and books and tea and wine, but i'm also one of those girls with whiskey, old cars, guns and boots. i model socks. yep, socks . i also make snappy garters for that same sock store...check 'em out in my top 12! i read a lot, love tattoos, piercings, motorcycles, old muscle cars, chocolate, jeeps, good food, puzzles, leopard print, and weaponry. i like to say the word "monkey," and sometimes "chicken." and that's the end of my show, DONK .
