I am here for Friends

About Me

More fun than a barrel of monkeys. Reformed flasher. Smarter than I act sometimes. Generally sleepy. Extremely fertile. ..This profile was edited with NewMyspace

My Interests

Collecting the next generation of pop surrealist artists; Austin (I miss it so much); Paper Moon Graphics; neon; Home decor porn (that is, not porn AS home decor but home decor AS porn .. I fantasize about my eventual sunny California house); crazy shoes; embroidery; keeping the baby from destroying himself, taking pictures in cool hotels; traveling; wearing, buying and maintaining fabulous getups; sleeping for long periods of time; collecting interesting people; really juicy books I can't put down (mostly biographies these days); extended periods of time in the bathtub; minature things; giant things; talking people's ears off; great movies; really shitty movies only I like; burlesque (but only in history and during personal practical application); little people; swashbucklers; fairy tales; old school hotel bars; Coney Island; circuses (but only in movies & literature); modern art or photography that makes you queasy; roccoco decorating schemes; Leigh Bowery; personal libraries; art, music and fashion in that period just before the French Revolution; courtesans of the ages; those touched by the hand of insanity; dissolute WASPS and much, much more.
