About Me

So much to say and so little time... I change from day to day so it's hard summing up myself in a paragraph or two. If you know me you know me, if you don't, I leave a lasting impression :-) I live with my sister in the big BG, I like sewing and cleaning and laughing at normal things that shouldn't be funny but are! (*stoned snowman*! lol!). I also *adore* the Cruxshadows! they are the most awesome band and Rogue is the most genuine person I have ever met, shame Jessica got to him first! ;-) I am a Dragon*Con junkie!! I *loves* it! Here's pics from last year! http://s103.photobucket.com/albums/m135/blackpearl_77/Dragon Con2007/

~*~*~~*~*~*
I work as a costume designer for Capitol Arts in downtown BG. I have designed two shows solo and have done a pretty well job, I think :-) I love designing and making costumes, I spend most of my time constructing recreations of movie costumes, costumes for theatre and my own creations :-) I won the Kentucky State 2007 4-H Fashion Revue with my Black and White Masquerade Gown (see pictures for looks!) and i recently took home Grand Champion on it at the Kentucky State Fair!
