About Me

Pimp My Profile

My Interests

Vintage clothes and mid-century modern and retro furniture/ housewares; artwork - I'll try anything once - I mainly decoupage and refinish furniture, mannequins and guitars; nature and animal freak - can't get enough of either; self deprecation; peace; time and again discovering the seemingly nonsensical combination of musical notes that can drive me to tears; the ultimate margarita; the elusive technique of getting from point a to point b with the most amount of joy and the least amount of suffering; connecting with people on a level that leaves everybody less concerned about stupid, mundane, superficial shit.

I'd like to meet:

Cool and creative people (more talented and undiscovered than untalented and discovered) artists, musicians and other fun(ky)vintage sellers near and far :)

==========================================================

this applies to a lot more in life than the music industry, sistahs:

Movies:

Breaking The Waves, Once Were Warriors, Harold and Maude, High Fidelity, Velvet Goldmine, Shallow Grave, Naked (Mike Leigh), all David Lynch, Hal Hartley and Wim Wenders films - tons more, those come to mind...

Books:

I'm a book slut: read 'em, put 'em down and leave 'em flat - sometimes I just throw 'em away ::gasp:: I'm convinced I'd curl up and die faster without a book than without water. Please don't make me experiment.

Heroes:

Everyday people, baby. Truth is better than fiction (well mostly). I watch people DAILY surpass pain and suffering I thought not humanly possible. Some of these wonders are my best friends and family. I can't verbalize the depth of my admiration and respect. Never underestimate the power and resilience of your soul in your transient body.
