About Me


This test describes me very accurately:
ENFJ - "Persuader". Outstanding leader of groups. Can be aggressive at helping others to be the best that they can be. 2.5% of total population. Take the test
Music that puts me in a good mood:
In my own words...
I'm ambitious, goal-oriented and passionate about expanding my mind. I love visiting new cities, meeting interesting people and trying new things. I moved to Portland for many reasons...the liberal minds, beautiful women and incredible nightlife definitely keep me here! There's really no other city quite like it. I believe that twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you DIDN'T do, than by the ones you DID do. Be warned, I'll do almost anything for the sake of "living dangerously". Challenge me.
Professionally:
I'm an exotic dancer at Lucky Devil Lounge (non-smoking strip club!)
I'm a go go dancer at The Egyptian Club (lesbian night club)
I'm the marketing director for PDX Black Book (just click the link)
I'm also a life coach for Centerpointe (A personal growth company)
Turn-ons: aliens, alternative medicine, androgyny, art, business, career coaching, confidence, costumes, dancing, documentaries, entrepreneurship, erotic art, investing, journaling, leadership, meditation, modeling, music, nude beaches, orchards, performance art, personal development, philanthropy, piano, quantum physics, queer culture, reading, residual income, spiral dynamics (look it up), spirituality, sushi, swimming, thrift shopping, transpersonal psychology, travel, visualization.
Turn-offs: Negativity, small talk, people who are pretentious or lack integrity.

My Interests

SUCCESS:
"The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it put your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have."
John D. Rockefeller
1839-1937, Industrialist and Philanthropist

HAPPINESS:
"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."
Earl Nightingale
1921-1989, Radio Announcer, Author and Speaker
