About Me

"I want to tell you a story about a fleeting moment at a carnival on a sunny afternoon in Paris. It was the summer of 1930...We danced and we laughed, but I lost him that day. I still hear the music, a faint accordion sound drifting towards me, like a ghostly memory."

My Interests

Theatre, dance, live performance and entertainment. I run a Cabaret and dance with a vintage show girl troupe . I like fashion or rather fashioning: the reasons why people want to look the way they do. Masks layers costumes signifiers. History. Family. Heritage. Memory.
