My Interests

I'd like to meet:



I'M EMMALUSCIOUS.

- I'm 29, bi-racial, heteroflexible and dangerously enthusiastic about life.
- I live in New York City. Brooklyn, to be precise.
- "Real people do real things." I'm focused on living that out every day.
- I dance, write, throw things in pans in kitchens and take pictures.
- I'm here to keep in touch with friends and share writing that moves you. Read my newest blog HERE .

THIS IS WHO I AM

    I've lived in New York City for a year now , but I hope I never stop seeing this place through a newcomer's eyes. Implicit is better than explicit. But if I have to take you down to get your attention, I will.Sundays are good for cooking, football games and reggae.I value loyalty and trust. If you lose either, you're unlikely to get it back from me.The Muses beat the Sirens every time.
    Scrambled eggs and ketchup don't belong on the same plate, let alone the same fork. Karma. It's what's for dinner. Hope you like what you ordered."Oh, Sheila" is not a Prince song. That fact has life-changing ramifications for me.I love falling hard, watching sushi chefs chef and basically fucking shit up in general. Especially your shit. I will fuck your shit up. Right after I paint my toenails.
