About Me


.. MySpace Editor I am not just one type of person, or even two or three. I am a work in progress, but most of all I am whole heartedly devoted to being fabulous. Bear with me that I could never describe me completely and there is something new I discover about myself everyday. I am a lover, a bellydancer, a connoisseur of cheap beers, a cat lady, a dyke, a ham, a piercist, a tattoo artist, a crafter, a thrift store fashionista, at peace with my inner goth girl, a pin up without a corset, a lover of hair dye, a DIY-er, a sketcher, a worshiper of the female body, silly, clumsy, chipper; "Ive got alot of moxie, like small things that put up a good fight, like squirells, or maybe Pipi Longstockings", an art dork, not a cook, a punk cabaret fiend, a huge fan of anything that can be worn on the legs and feet (shoes, did someone say shoes?), happy... most of all, happy, for the first time in a long long time. And grateful.

Gina King's Mystery

My Interests



Belly dancing, piercing, tattooing, creating titilating accesories, thrift store shopping, shoes, medicare reform, cats, spunkyness, socks, flat round rocks, hair dye, intriguing eye makeup, trying to find baton twirling lessons, the smell of fabric softener, pin up girls!, getting to know my vulva, dumpster diving, my bike, being nice, trivial pursuit, not taking myself seriously...

I'd like to meet:



Bod mod artists and the people who love them, someone who will teach me how to twirl a baton fabulously, and other people who dance to an off beat drummer. And of course...all you crazy bitches out there who may or may not have alot of talent, but have alot of conviction in whatever it is that you do. Do it till an appendage turns blue baby!
