My Interests

I'm interested in the expression on your face, and the gesture of your stance.

I'd like to meet:

Old souls. Those who work with the earth, and laborers of the human heart. Arborists, viticulturists, apiarists, and bookworms. Someone dusty and sensitive-tough. A cowboy-poet, or a rustic-elegant. Not mere artists, but creative alchemists in any field. Originals, or those who at least strive for authenticity. People who don't have all the answers, but keep searching for them anyway. Those who don't rehearse lines or live their lives by a script. Masters of improvisation. The living. The disciplined, the dedicated, the unrelenting. Warriors. Long lost kin. Clowns, lovers, muses. The quick witted, the soft spoken, the hard headed, the sharply dressed, and Marcello Mastroianni.

My name is VIV G. What are you gonna do about it?
