About Me

A wildly inventive mixture of comedy and melodrama, tastelessness and swooning elegance.

My Interests

music, movies, tv, magazines, entertainment, popular culture, camp (gay not summer), kitsch, love, romance, beauty, people, satire

I'd like to meet:

people who'll call me up last minute "just to hang out and watch tv." it would be nice to find a movie buddy. or a shopping pal. or someone who'll slow dance with me to phil collins. people who like blue eyes. people who don't eat sliced bread.
