This little smile just melts my heart and makes the sleepless nights worth it, sort of...

About Me

I live in LA with my husband where we work with a small production group. We travel lots and make films, documentaries etc. We can't have pets where we live, otherwise I'd have a bulldog named Penelope (not after P. Foster I swear, just always liked the name). I do all sorts of things which makes it difficult going through customs all the time and trying to explain what I do to them. I work for a non-profit organization, do make-up (beauty and SFX) run a coffee catering business and amuse my husband. No I never did the college thing (well I took a couple of personal interest classes). Instead I got as far away from WPB as I could and went to Australia and completley and radically changed the course of my life It's a long story, but so far enjoyed the crazy life I've had. If I went to uni right out of high school... I think I would of created lots of trouble and drama for myself, not that I don't have that anyways. I'm passionate about rescuing girls out of prostitution in Thailand and other parts of asia and raising awareness of the sex industry. I'm also fascinated by girls and women here in our country and the things we do and believe.... I know I'm being vague but it's alot to go into. I'm also just beginning to scratch the surface of Fair Trade and wanting to get involved in that somehow. My husband's name is both Nathan and Frankie, take your pick. He's brilliant, which I love about him but can also make him a pain in the *** to live with because he's so focused. But he is also wise, intelligent, creative and there is a side to him where is so tender. I've always loved brilliant people (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em) and he is incredible and I'm madly in love with him.Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
