About Me

Left-handed, African-Asian hybrid who speaks quasi-fluent Japanese and aspires to parlay her exquisite taste into a veritable empire. I am a tomboy and the love child of Martha Stewart and DJ Spooky and I am going to be huge. When I'm not busy edifying kids whose parents have deep pockets or whirling around the Garment District on behalf of a hat/accessories design company, I'm watering my plants, stockpiling intellectual property, practicing my turntable technique (not so much as of late), feeding my eBay addiction, practicing my snake technique , testing out Epicurious dessert recipes, toying with Quicken, eating a cupcake, cutting a rug, checking the weather, customizing my Google page, buying things from Williams-Sonoma, eliciting laughter from the sexiest man alive, fantasizing about the possibilities of snakeskin, or attempting to reveal a bit more of myself than I did the day before.
I have perfect pitch and sensitive skin. I am often late and awfully intuitive. I am sometimes a perfectionist to the point of paralysis, a little antisocial, and robotically unexpressive. But I have feelings. Good ones. How could I not? I live a charmed life.
