Teatro, wiener dogs, stimulating outings, aquariums (jellyfish are so, so mysterious), and the typical BS: books, music, movies
I'd like to meet:
'Tis the Bard. Need I say more?
"I will be free, even to the uttermost, as I
please, in words." -Shakes
Angelique Houtkamp is THE BOMB arteest and to be more especific, tattoo artist (ya think?). I found her art through Juxtapoz Mag years ago and fell in love immediately. One of her piece's grace's my skin (my first!) and I love love love her distinct nostalgic style of inking and creating. That and she seems like a real cool chic to hang with at a pub in her hometown of Amsterdam no? Oh yes, check her out at salonserpent.com
Genius and madman...FABULOUS!
"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." -Wolfie
The oh so talented Ms. Julie Taymor. Renaissance woman and mistress of the arts (in all mediums) she is known for her synergy of the fine arts with life through theatre, opera, puppetry, and film--she creates the haute couture of theatre. Check out "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins--it is so, so fabulous.
"I PUT myself into situations where I'm forced to do something, to create, to respond, to see differently." -Julie
Man I love me some Tommy...he's CRAZY talented, quirky/eccentric as hell and well a genre all to himself...I'm a total talent slut, le sigh.
"Even Jesus wanted just a little more time,
when he was walkin' Spanish down the hall" -Tommy
