fashions fade, but style is eternal

About Me


Original Installation Art Piece using sculpture, lights and sound. To do with purity, childhood and ideas of cleanliness. More pics in my blog here .
///
I'm a good person, with a good heart....mostly.
///
Unlike everyone else on myspace I know that I am not original and if you're not careful I'll suck all of your style and ideas from you. I am simply a construction of ideas and style that I have become intrigued with over time. I'm not really who you think I am. I take the piss out of everything, especially myself :) Laughing is important and having the ability to laugh at yourself is even more important. Yet at the same time I get accused of being the most serious and blunt person people know. It's all about trying to strike a balance. I am an ENTJ (very much so - but am working on the negative aspects). If you know what that means send me a message!
///
I dance like a bitch on heat. I . "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!"
///
I Of all kinds and mediums.... visual, media, theatre, photography, poetry, literature, installation, performance art... I love and appreciate all of it. But I keep getting distracted by other, more important, things like politics and activism, things that make a difference to others. Those things take up my whole life at the moment because I work full time for my Student Association/Union/Guild. Standing up for students rights, helping others, making sure that I live my life in an ethical and moral way are all important to me. I'm definitely not pink dollar or superficial. I am progressive.
///
I can be seen by some to be a bit tough but that's usually because I don't let anything get in my way and I always get the job done. I'll always be the last one standing.
///
My favourite five words that describe me: White Trash With Expensive Taste.
///
If you're gonna request to be added to my friends then please send a message too.
Otherwise I'm just gonna click DENY. Coz i'm rude and needy like that :D
