About Me

***PICTURES BY THE WONDERFUL MISS LOUISE INGALLS STURGES & THE INFAMOUS MISS KATHARINE BARTHELME***Girl Friday of the artworld; scrappy and sophisticated; First Class MA in Contemporary Art from Sotheby's Institute in London; living a life I can't afford with my American gloss poss and forever pals. Drinking til my liver hurts, dancing til my feet ache and singing til I get the Marge Simpson voice! Writing, books, snapping random pictures, doing things in the moment that I regret the next day (but then forgetting about them soon after). Contemplating, snoozing, laughing, art exhibitions, dancing, daydreaming, my Pashley Princess, green t, spooning, bedding down for the day, holidays, cocktails, sass and sarcasm. Giving people nicknames (Von Trampski, Teapot Mouse, Crazypants McGee). Finding motivation in the last minute after way too much procrastination!www.unhcr.org www.savethechildren.org.uk www.unicef.orgFacebook me!
