i am a strange composition of contradictions.
and quite possibly one of the most fabulous people you will ever meet.
acting a complete and total fool in public places. art history. astrology. beaches. beauty. being loud. boos and buddies (♥). brazil. burlesque performers. cartoons. clothes. coffee. cultures that are different from my own. dancing. dark chocolate. deep creative artistic type people. dogs. dreaming. eating. escapism. experiencing the creativity of others. eyeballs. fashion. getting clean. getting dirty. hats. hondas. kittie-cats. laughing. learning. making mix cds. mangos. music. my lil sis bri. old school big-bodied luxury or muscle cars. other people named taryn. peanut butter and honey sammiches. pin up/fetish art & photography. pineapples. pomegranates. poetry. rocking out. shoes. shooting pool. singing. smiling. squirrells. stella artois. strippers. sushi. tattoos. text messages. water. weather. wine. writing. your mom. (and many other things that i can't think of right now ...)
intriguing, intelligent, positive, forward-moving folks to walk along this path with me for a little while.
people with inner beauty that spills out into the tangible world.
people who love to dance and/or sing, and are prone to do so at any given time - be it in the grocery store, on the dance floor, or up on stage.
poets, musicians, graffitti artists, vocalists, b-boys and b-girls, photographers, capoeristas and any- and everybody who is strong enough to allow God to move through them in the execution of their art form, regardless of what that art form may be.
people who like to think.
people who like to laugh.
people who find joy in small things.
people who don't fit nicely into any one category.
people from brazil. preferably if you can teach me portuguese.
and just about everyone else. especially if you have cool pictures.
i don't do blind adds though. don't know me yet? just send me a message. say hello. i don't bite ... hard ... tee-hee.
far too much to list. stuff that everyone else likes. stuff that no one else likes. stuff that makes me wanna dance. stuff that makes me wanna cry. stuff that makes me wanna dance and cry at the same time. and damn near anything from or related to brazil.

(no, seriously. i'm so proud of these people, and i'm a lucky girl to know (and in some cases, be related to) them.)
mothers (especially my own), strong women of any variety, TRUE artists (i don't proclaim to be among them yet), people who have the desire/motivation/ability to change the world around them for the better, and anyone who emerges victoriously against the odds.
