A deadly kiss from a temptress can serve to make a truly wayward man

About Me

..
I just moved to England after spending most of my life in North Texas. Divorced, one beautiful genius of a daughter, and several furry children.Odd random facts about me: I have been bellydancing with the Isis Star Dancer studio since 2001, am in the Performing Company, and have performed at Scarborough Faire. I adore choreography; improvisational dance hates me. Veils hate me too. ** I love performing, but I suffer from performance anxiety! ** I fancy myself an ice cream connoisseur. ** I collect panties (down to 97 from 105... I did some housecleaning). ** It is has been a lifelong dream to be on Jeopardy! and I've auditioned for Survivor and Wheel of Fortune too. ** I am a Supertaster. ** I am a cancer survivor. ** I have a degree in Geography (minored in Anthropology) and I want to be curator of some fascinatingly boring touristy site some day. ** I play World of Warcraft. ** I can speak a little German, French, Russian, and Spanish. ** I have my own cheesecake company. ** I have appraised the largest house in Texas. ** I adore Eddie Izzard and can recite Dress to Kill, complete with hand gestures, from beginning to end. ** I was in the Army for two months. ** Joss Whedon is a god. ** The last guy I dated bore an eery resemblance to Nathan Fillion. **
