The Red Queen

Ragged predecessor of small turmoils

About Me

I am a feisty creature with a tendency towards luscious living and idiosyncratic behavior. I love wine, food, art, poetry, opera, theater, intelligent company, my cat, and on the rare occasion people. I'm a recovering city girl who finds comfort in concrete. I am an aspiring revolutionary who likes to hide buried in my bed. I find catalysts in observing life quietly. I live immersed in the clouds with my feet firmly planted on the ground.Myspace Layouts + Myspace Graphics
