About Me

Fear me kittens, I can now MAKE MY OWN SHOES!
Whew!! Hours and hours of CSS and it's all nice and shiny... or getting there... here are some of the shoes I've made. Duh, I didn't make the Miu Miu ones.

I was born and raised in the LA area and refined in New York.
By day and by night, I am a freelance web designer/illustrator/developer/g33k. Myspace reminds why people actually pay me to do that. In my spare time, I make stvff. My lastest project has been learning to make shoes, with the ultimate impossible dream of starting my own accessories/footwear biz.
I collect shoes and souvenir bracelets from Paris from the WW II era.
I love architecture and art... I'm specifically interested in Early Christian Art and European architecture from the nameless period of 1750-1890. Also, anything Deco and Nouveau.
I have way too many hobbies for my amount of space I have in my apt or my schedule.
I really like DDR and specifically, Stepmania , the open source alternative. None of my friends are into this tho, and it makes me sad.

I
In a previous incarnation, I made lots of neat costumes and corsets.. the best have ended up on the tushe of Miss Delerium Tremens .
Favorite shoes: Fleuvog, Irregular Choice, Casadei, Marc Jacobs, Biviel, Prada/Miu Miu, Swear

My Interests

Making messes and stvff

I'm certified to make: corsets, costumes/clothing, shoes, handbags, headpeices/cyber hair thingies, art -- (marker, colored pencil, charcoal, computer/vector), screen prints, scrapbooks, soap, jewelry, sculpture (clay), molds and lots of random other stvff.

I'd like to meet:

-new funky creative techie types

-my old super-awesome friends from alt.gothic, convergence, alt.gothic.fashion, etc.

-someone who can smelt the metal

-smartypants who like art

-DDR/Stepmania junkies

-UIs (u know if you were one)

I appreciate it when people send messages introducing themselves with their friend requests.

I don't add people who "collect girls", people who write me illiterate messages, or hip hop & rap bands. As if it weren't obvious, I don't like that sort of music.

ps. I don't approve comments that contain *big* tacky images or videos.. keep it under about 200px pls.

HEY: NEWS: If your profile is set to private, I will not add you. I generally don't add people who I don't know or who aren't friends of friends of friends..etc... but I do when I think you are coolio. And, I can't make the determination from a private profile.
