monsters and robots! 50's / 60's kitsch, photography, art, music, travel, mid-century modernism, luchadores, black cats, bats, pop culture, vintage sleaze/lowbrow/ pulp art, hot rods, vespas, junk shopping. i don't do drugs. i don't like beer. i hate cigarette smoke. i collect records (i bet i have more than you! nya-nya-nya) and used to dj. haven't met many who can beat me at trivia. i paint and make collages, also like to sew and make stuff (she's crafty!). i went to school for auto body repair with my husband, and plan to take welding next so i can create fun things. i love to shop, but always feel guilty about it afterwards. it's a sickness. and like most music lovers, i make a mean mix-tape. (well, ok, mix-cd, these days). uh, let's see, what else.... i think marsupials are adorable - i have a pair of sugar gliders, and i'd love to have a pet wallaby. i like mad-libs. i watch wrestling. so what. i collect spooky knick-knacks and odd album covers. also dig: flowers. kittens. spelling. day of the dead. i love raunchy, dirty filth and really pretty girls. i adore janeane garofalo. my eyes love man ray photos. banksy! i would die without art! i really LOVE s.britt, shag, mark ryden, gary baseman, camille rose garcia, joe coleman, tim biskup, glenn barr, liz mcgrath, marion peck, kepi and keane paintings (and the like).
oh, and support your local rollergirls!please help save our planet! recycle!
