Off the catwalk and on the loose!

About Me


2 years ago I pulled off a spontaneous corporate prision break, flipped "big brother" my boney crooked finger and never turned back.Parkerhawn, Inc was officially convieved june '05 and launched january 2006. She's my baby and I live every moment for her. Oh yeah - I try to squeeze in an hour or 2 for my husband (hee hee) He's put up with the benign growth that seems permanently attached to my thighs (my laptop) and my 14 hour days working on the site in one form or another. - luv ya luva ;)
My quirky schtick?? I NEVER wear the same outfit twice. Key word being "outfit". Some folks read into that all wrong and think I never wear the same artice of clothing twice. Yeah right - Do I LOOK like i'm related to Bill Gates??? Cash flow isn't that good.....YET (hee hee) I've been doing this thing since the turn of the millenium and haven't broken the chain so far. It takes a serious drain on my creativity sometimes but hell, the payoffs of complements on my styling techniques and FREE advertising for the biz makes it worth it every single time.
You Belong in New York City
You're an energetic, ambitious woman.
And only NYC is fast enough for you.
Maybe you'll set yourself up with a killer career
Or simply take in all the city has to offer. What City Do You Belong In?
You Are 35% Scary
You scare men off ocassionaly, but only very weak men.
You're a normal woman. You're not perfect, but you're pretty darn close. Do You Scare Off Men?
You Are Trinity
"Touch me and that hand will never touch anything again." What Superheroine Are You?
I'm More Mild Than Wild
You're confident, and you really aren't concerned with how "hot" you are. Other people's ideas of what's sexy don't concern you. And this is exactly what makes you attractive. Take the blogthings 'Are You Hot?' quiz

My Interests

Fashion forecasting, thrift shopping, doin' neighborhood drive bys the night before kick it to the curb, playin' collapse till all of my finger joints freeze up, surfin for samples, collecting premiere issues of fashion magazines

I'd like to meet:

Crazy insane individuals like me who do one, any or all of the following: A*D*O*R*E vintage clothing, plan their weekly schedules around the 50% off days at local thrift stores, rock in a local/national band, strive to encourage other women to be strong and independent, run their own business,
What Your Green Outfit Means
Having a unique style of dress is quite important to you. You're a bit of an oddball, but you're also very friendly. No worries - people find your eccentricities charming

DESIGNER MATCH: Diane Von FurstenbergSIGNATURE ACCESSORY: A vintage purse What Does Your Favorite Outfit Say About You?

Music:



The soundtrack to my life lately has been the SIRIUS Chill station (dish chanel 6035) and anything that has a groovin 60s vibe to it but I'll listen to pretty much any and everything with the exception of metal, country and hardcore rap. That stuff makes my ears bleed. Some of my favorites include: Everything but the girl, jamiroquai, bush, imogen heap, benjamin gate, linkin park, justin timberake, telepopmusik, zero 7, dave matthews, daft punk, 77s, black eyed peas, george michael, PM Dawn, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Just Jack, any OM lounge CD, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Dido, Edie Brickel and the new Bohemians, Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughn, thousand foot krutch, earthsuit, the charlatans UK, kylie minogue, big audio dynamite, the cure, depeche mode, mel torme, neil diamond, the postal service, deeelite, REM, Led Zepelin, G Love & Special Sauce, morphine, liz phair, elton john, jet, the blue van, the monkeys

Movies:


if I never watched another series of movies i'd be entertained for life

Thick as Thieves, Bullworth, Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, Sliding Doors, The Usual Suspects, Anything with Parker Posey, Will Ferrel, Myrna Loy, William Powell, Cary Grant or Goldie Hawn in it, All Woody Allen, Kevin Smith & Alfred Hitchcock Films, The Pink Panther Movies (The Classic Peter Sellers ones - the new one sucked raw eggs), Amelie, 50 First Dates, Love Actually, Vanty Fair, Go, Bruce Almighty, 2 Days In the Valley, Prelude To A Kiss, First Wives Club, Legally Blonde - lots more. I'll add them as I think of them

Television:

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT ( i'd hook up with Vincent DeNofrio in a heartbeat if I wasn't already married - it must be the salt & pepper hair)
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS (british entertainment rocks! granted I can't understand 1/2 of what they're bloody saying but sweetie darling - with that great accent who cares?? Just light me a fag & pour me a drink!)
MATCHGAME 77 (they are soooooo saucy on that gameshow - i'm luvin brett sommers)
STILL STANDING (the twisted yet somehow accurate image of my married life sans offspring)
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (poor doogie was a typecast actor for so long I'm glad to see him finally break the mold. Barney is a riot!)
CSI (as corny as it sounds my husband and I find ways to fit the word 'epithelial' into everyday conversation just cuz it has a nice ring to it)
JOYCE MEYER:ENJOYING EVERYDAY LIFE (her scratchy 3 pack a day voice slappin God's word raw on the table without all the religious barnacles attached to it helps keep me a sane, balanced productive member of society)
SEX AND THE CITY (i mean c'mon.....who in fashion DOESN'T watch this show???)
LAUGH-IN (it's always been my dream to have been able to raid the wardrobe trailer for this show)
CONAN O'BRIEN SHOW (Triumph the insult comic dog is hilarious. I just love to hear him say "for me to poop on" - he's so stupid!!!)

INSPIRATIONAL INDIVIDUALS THAT I ASPIRE TO EMULATE:

Mammer J (my grandmother)
Sarah Jessica Parker
Goldie Hawn
Carine Roitfeld
