Lastly, I co-own a record label called Has Anyone Ever Told You.
- I walk my dog Lucy with my husband Chris every evening around my neighborhood. - I could eat Mexican and Thai food for every single meal. - My dining room floor is painted polka dots. - I have a giant naked picture of Burt Reynolds framed above my fire place. - I am also a Dolly Parton fan which means I love the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas since it has both Burt and Dolly. -I like to make earrings.
- I have a degree in psychology and a minor in philosophy. - I am a compulsive collector (all things Vintage, Asian or Tiki) - Oh and dont forget my collections of Enid Collins purses, Bakelite jewelry and bowling trophies. - I have a black cat named Georgie, but I do not walk her. - I have a younger sister named Hope who runs a web business called Hot Pink Pistol. -I sell my sister and my mothers purses on my website.
- My husband Chris is in a band called Beta Valentine. - My favorite beer is Harp and mixed dink of choice are Mojitos. - I have 3 tattoos and a pierced lip. - I like to dress up and have so many pairs of shoes and matching hand bags it is downright embarrassing. - I tend to swear a lot. - I like to make fun hair clips! I sell my mom's tissue box covers and pillows too!
- I am addicted to thrift store shopping and scheduled my wedding around a flea market so I could attend. - I lived in London for a semester in college. - Once I won an art contest in Jr. High for a picture of Axel Rose I drew. - My favorite thing in the world is coming out of a cold building or restaurant in the summer. Being painfully cold and then instantly toasty. - Necklaces are my favorite thing to make.
- I was born in Dallas, raised in North Texas, went to school in San Macros and currently live in Austin (all Texas). - My husband and I fight over what is better to buy CDs or vinyl. So we end up with tons of both. - I have a soft spot for metal and in the last several years have seen the following in concert: Van Halen (with Hagar), David Lee Roth (solo), Poison, Ratt, Whitesnake, Dokken, Warrant, Vince Neal (Motley Crue) and I am sure all the opening bands I am forgetting. - On the flip side of that I also went and saw Prince, Dolly Parton and Hall and Oates last year. - I like jewelry that starts with the letter B like Bracelets and Brooches.
- I am an awful speller. - I like to make jewelry that makes me happy and is funny.

I think I may have forgotten how to read. All I look at are fashion magazines. Then to top that the magazines I really like are from Japan and I can only look at the pictures. Sadly if I read books they are about marketing and running a small business. I am going on a road trip with my parents in July and I bet we listen to a book on tape, that kind of counts.
I don't have a hero, but that question made me think of this little ditty from the Greatest American Hero...Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, It should've been somebody else.Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free eee eee. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me.It's like a light of a new day, It came from out of the blue. Breaking me out of the spell I was in, Making all of my wishes come true ue ue.Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free eee eee. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me.
